I don't like how you said that he endorsed this diet. He has said many times that he doesn't think people should take his eating advice as he's not a dietician. He and his daughter went on this diet because they had incredible auto immune issues that do not apply to most of the population. He didn't do it for weight loss either, that was just a side effect.
He IS endorsing it, because he's acting smug and condescending when describing the diet, lying outright when he says that humans don't need Vitamin C, and claiming that this diet solved all of his health problems. Peterson knows that he has an enormous and devoted fan base who cling to everything he says, and making claims like this is dangerous.
@@supercrazylegs1theoretical you only need a stupidly low amount of vitamin C found in meat or organs IF no glucose is present as they fight for the same receptor. Not an argument- spread love not hate
by him talking about it and raving about it is endorsing, saying im not saying you should do this, but i love it and it was great and it cures everything, he IS endorsing, of not then people would not have started doing it, lets not pretend that saying the words im not endorsing is actually not endorsing people to do it.
Inuit diets are far far more diverse than this, like incomparably more diverse. Both historically and today Inuit diets include a variety of fish, other seafood, and marine mammals. Meat from these marine mammals also have a completely different nutrient profile than beef, including more nutrients including vitamin c, particularly when you include the blubber, skin and organ meats which are some of the most common foods and also considered highly nutritious delicacies. Inuit have also both historically and today eat a variety of high nutrient density vegetarian foods such as a variety of seasonal greens and berries. While these are more common at certain times of the year, berries in particular are surprisingly preservable, so would have even historically been eaten for much of the year. We see similar diets among Scandinavians and the indigenous Sami people of Russia and Scandinavia, and though at certain points in the year they rely heavily on meat, they still have very diverse diets even at the coldest time of year.
My 86 year mother was on deaths door, suffering from 3 main problems. Extremely high blood pressure. Chronic digestive issues. Poly myalgia. Last jan 2022 she went total carnivore. All her digestive issues are gone. Her blood pressure is 120/80 (she still takes the meds). Her polymyalgia is gone. She is back playing golf (9 holes with a buggy). She looks great, she lost fat, she is bright and enthusiastic. Last year i spoke to my wife about preparing for her death. The carnivore diet has transformed her life. That’s our experience with it. 🙂🙏👍
@@tomasscully997 That is amazing to hear! My father is a bit younger, pushing 60. Before carnivore (2 years) he was keto since 2015. Before then he had to take Omeprazole every day, had to take all sorts of pills to control all sorts of things. He had a belly that he never was able to lose, and getting fatter and fatter. There are quite a lot of things that changed after he went that direction, including naturally feeling leas hungry and no more cravings, longer bike rides and training more at the gym. No energy boosts and dives, more stable throughout the day. Mental clarity, according to him. I hate to sound like I'm getting pulled into a cult, because it all does indeed sound too good to be true! I just wish that there were more studies about this diet, and not the "low-carb" that consists of 30% carbs, but a true low-carb, just to REALLY know because my second-hand experience doesn't align at all with what I hear from conventional nutritional information!
I believe if you try carnivore diet instead of making assumptions you will calm down finally. You seem extremely stressed even without saying a single word.
So, I have primary immunodeficiency, I.e. my immune system is on vacation 90% of the time. So, it’s allergy time. I’m allergic to a lot, including food. I can’t eat entire food groups. I’m allergic to dairy, all grains (not gluten….grains!!), legumes, nightshades, eggs, most nuts and seeds, and the allergies extend to things like oil and spices. I’m under the care of multiple doctors because it has me at a high risk of multiple deficiencies. No one would ever choose to eat this way for the term of their life. You only do it out of necessity. You miss out on so much life if you accidentally misstep. I was violently ill at my younger sisters wedding. The caterer was given my list of allergies. As I was eating it, I knew something was wrong. They used vegetable oil, which has canola and corn. It would have been kinder to end me.
I‘m sorry if this is too personal but I am wondering: I was taught that Allergies are basically caused by your immune system ‚overreacting‘. Do you know why your immunodeficiency leads to your allergies?
All I gotta say is that the carnivore diet lifestyle does work. Worked for me and multiple other people I know. I’ve kept the weight off for 7 years and no side effects. 🤷🏻♀️
Been fantastic for me too. Over two years later and no scurvy here. All my blood tests are perfect, unlike when I was heavily plant based. My quality of life is substantially better. Abby is very wrong with this video.
Lol wait, it's impossible to be carnivore for 7 years because it's "unsustainable"... *me on year 6 of carnivore waiting for it to become unsustainable* 😂
@shelbieb2144 it never will become unsustainable. "Just u heckin wait till the cholesterol catches up" (lives till 90) then they will say if you ate plant based you would have lived till 92 😂
I've been strict carnivore for three whole years now. In this time period, I first lost 80lbs in about 8 months with no exercise whatsoever. Then I started lifting weights and I've put on about 15lbs of lean muscle. I am 46-year-old and in the best shape of my life. In addition, I am virtually immune to sunburn and I feel a ton of energy. And there are thousands of people with similar stories.When is Abbey going to "debunk" my way of eating that has improved my wellbeing so profoundly?
@@diamond852 well keto people would say the same thing. We're both in ketosis what do you expect? And the vegans are lying. They can not gain muscle mass on a strict vegan diet without massive amounts supplements and PEDs and they lose fat because they starve themselves and pack their belly with fiber that does nothing for them but take up space. But hey eat grass if it makes you happy. Us carnivores are gonna stay jacked till we're 120 years old
Love you Abbey, but have you not heard Jordan repeatedly saying: -I would not recommend this on anyone! -I don't like to talk about it! -I am a unique case of complex medical situation! -This just happens to work for me for reasons I can't comprehend! in this and in other interviews Jordan never fails to mention ALL of these!

@@Darkphoenix3450 wdym there are people who only eat potatoes and feel a lot better but it still isn’t healthy long term even dr baker said he doesn’t know the long term effects
I have heard Jordan Peterson talk about his Autoimmune disease in the past. I think this is a personal choice that he has made, I didn't get the sense that he thinks we should all go this diet.
100% I wish Abbey Sharpe didn't cover it like this was a diet that he is recommending. He doesn't like to speak on it but is a damn polite Canadian. if she was covering Jordan's daughter I get it. But Jordan Peterson is not pushing this diet.
People will still take that information and interpret it in their own way. As an example, Trump never said ‘go and drink bleach,’ yet a number of Americans misconstrued his suggestions and did just that. If a public figure speaks on something they partake in, there is a risk that their followers will attempt to emulate them, regardless of the overall context.
Devorah:. We as a species have been eating almost exclusively the day and flesh of animals for *4.5 MILLION YEARS*. The agricultural revolution was a blink in the evolutionary scale. And most of our chronic illnesses came about from this error (eating carbohydrates, particularly combining fats with those carbs)
@@rathesungod what are you on they at LOTS of fruits and vegetables yes they weren’t domesticated fruits and vegetables but nether is their meat back then.
@@SSStofu008 If the point is that his particular ancestors had an omnivore diet yes that is correct, however if the point is that all peoples traditionally ate that way I would disagree. Depends on climate - for example arctic peoples ate near 100% animal based diets. I personally don't ascribe to carnivore as a panacea - I think peoples ability or inability to digest plants/animls that has more to do with genetics and mostly intestinal integrity a la tight junction barriers and microbiome. Plus beyond domesticated plants (which is a key point) they are over fed macronutrients and simple mineral ions to the point of primary and secondary metabolic dysfunction - in that they are deficient in much of the nutrients and health promoting phytochemicals but also totally different secondary metabolite profiles which expressed as antinutrients and health reducing phytochemicals
Parts of this comment section are whack. Peterson never claimed expertise or advocated for ordinary people to do this diet and every ‘claim’ he made was buttressed with a disclaimer that he was not a dietician or nutritional expert. I understand Abbey’s intent to dissuade the public from inflating anecdotal accounts, but this was just a conversation between two people where someone shared their unique experience. Not a science lesson. Just a reminder not to make blanket statements based on popular opinion, guysss. Examine the source material and what was actually said ^^
Peterson is very popular on his corner of the internet with some very devoted fans. As much as provided disclaimers, he spouts blatant misinformation which people could easily be influenced by, and that is important to address. Celebrities are constantly doing this - saying "this is just what worked for me" to negate blame when they know how the celebrity/influencer model works and people are likely to follow along with what they say. He should be more careful (and do more research) before he starts claiming definitive proof about things which aren't true/have no consensus as of yet.
Dental hygienist here…his periodontal disease was in no way eliminated by this diet. That’s not how it works. I treat perio regularly, and it was likely the scaling and root planning along w/ better home care that improved his gums…however…periodontal disease is not reversible. It can be stablized though.
@Jerrie Lynn Dental professional of 10yrs here. Yes, sugar plays a huge role in dental decay. I wouldn't argue that you'd experience less cavities while excluding things from your diet that are acidic and contain sugar. However, perio disease is not caused by sugar intake, but by lack of proper oral hygiene. When we're not flossing enough or brushing properly plaque hardens. Overtime your gum tissue and bone will start to oull away from it. It does not heal itself or improve without mechanical intervention. You may never need SRP again, but that doesn't mean the issue is corrected. With perio disease comes deep pockets and some bone loss. Perio maintenence is required because you're not able to clean those areas at home.
ive been carnivore for 2.5 years, as far as my teeth go, what has changed is they are no longer loose in my gums, and they de plaque themselves... which I thought was my teeth crumbling until I saw the dentist, he said no, it was the plaque coming away from my teeth, I said whoa is that a thing? Then he explained plaque to me, apparently, we all get plaque no matter what we eat but if we eat sugar it hardens the plaque, because my sugar intake is very low ( I still have sugar in a coffee) the plaque comes off. yay! So the benefit of carnivore on youir teeth is pretty good.
I am carnivore. It is an anti inflammatory, human species specific diet. When u stop eating carnivore, my psoriasis comes back and my anxiety - full force. Loving this carnivore Lifestyle
Everyone is different. And encouraging a regular person that doesn't have autoimmune and/or inflammatory issues, to follow this type of eating, is very irresponsible. I know that if I eat too much beef, it fuxks my stomach up and if I eat a low carb diet, my kidneys HURT. I discovered a lot about how my body responds to it when I was a fighter cutting weight. To sum it all up, I am the healthiest and look/feel better when I am eating lots of chicken, eggs, oats, veggies, tuna, natural peanut butter, potatoes, rice...but that isn't for everyone.
Honestly, I don't care. To each their own. I love the carnivore lifestyle (raw meat and fish and dairy+ some fruits) but it's not sustainable. So I just cut out most of the green stuff (leaves and cruciferous) and my bloating and stomach pains literally went away and I never felt so good.
@@glumberty1 Are you kidding? It's not sustainable financially for most people, environmentally, nutritionally, nor in terms of taste and living a normal life. I don't know many who'd want to live on nothing but animal products for the rest of their lives unless they absolutely had to for extreme health conditions, like Mikaela Peterson. And her diet is even more restrictive, because she just eats beef and salt and reportedly doesn't vary the proteins at all because she's so food intolerant.
I've never tried a carnivore diet, but I've had a lot of success with a low carb diet. It really sucks to see so much hate about it online lately. I think for many of us, it's been so empowering to feel like we have control over our symptoms. And some might say that low carb is good if you have something wrong with you but the average person doesn't need to do it. But 50% of Americans are diabetic or pre-diabetic. I've actually never been diagnosed formally with prediabetes, but I've spent most of my adult life without health insurance and I don't have a regular doctor. So in trying to treat my cystic acne and irregular cycle, I inadvertently treated my anxiety and depression. I had anxiety that would keep me up for hours every night with heart palpitations and a racing heart. I would experience feelings of rage and very dark thoughts. And by eating low carb, I completely got rid of my heart palpitations and started sleeping through the night. Yes it's anecdotal. But there's a lot of people who have had similar experiences.
I'm happy you have some relief. I lived with anxiety and depression for more than 10 years. I don't think it ever goes away, you learn how to manage it :) you found a good way to do that. I also follow a low carb diet. It's really beneficial even if you're just cutting refined carbs like cakes and candy. That is a scientific fact. I'm very skeptical of this new wave of obsessive thinking that takes shape in "carnivore" diets. It's not natural to only eat meat. People love to use the Inuits as an example but they are an exception to the rule. There might be genetic advantages that they have to eat that way. They live in a harsh climate where the only thing they can eat is meat. Low carb does get a lot of undeserved hate, but as a community we should stop giving credence to these extremist beliefs that all plant foods are toxic. It's simply unscientific, and that is why low carb is not widely respected.
He literally said the all beef diet was awful and "hell" and he in fact does not recommend it. The only reason he is on it is because so far its the only thing he and his daughter have found to alleviate their symptoms.
@@miinfl7143 she does promote it but each single time she says clearly that she eats this way because the alternative is worse and she has autoimmune symptoms as soon as she introduces other foods.
I have been anxiously awaiting this. I have been carnivore for 4 years. It’s the best decision I have ever made. I do believe everyone should do what works for them and their body, because everyone is different. And I won’t spout of my opinion because everyone has one, but I do know that healthy people don’t make money. So people who profit off sick people, overweight people, chronically Ill people (people with SIBO), will always push an agenda which keeps people that way. I mean, how would anyone make money if we stop eating processed trash and fast food?
@@Kthomasritchie And you are a fuxking idiot. Sorry to break it to you...not everyone can handle eating that way and human beings are not meant to. Me for example...I experimented with different types of eating when I was a fighter cutting weight and had to up my carb intake because it was fuxking my kidneys up.
I’m usually a huge fan of Abbey’s videos but this one misses the mark. If u watch the episode fully you can hear the strain in his voice as he talks about how he has absolutely no idea what caused his chronic pain and illness, and how the carnivore diet is the only thing that has made him able to function. He shares how his daughter was on her death bed as a teenager and this diet saved both of their lives. He acknowledges that it’s insane and probably not great for most people, but for whatever reason it’s given him his life back. I would have liked to see a little more compassion and a little less ranting about vitamin C.
Boring? No. I’m 58, been carnivore for 5 years. It is not boring, it is not expensive. In fact I spend less than half the money on food that I used to spend when I bought fruit, vegetables and bread etc. In the past five years all my family, hubby 62, son 30, son 22 and daughter 20, have experienced improved health, mental clarity and physical stamina. We have all lost fat and gained important muscle. Literally everything you said about red meat causing cancer, fat causing heart disease and protein causing kidney problems is false. Fibre is not a nutrient and while there are essential fatty acids and essential amino acids there are *no* essential carbohydrates.
From my personal 4+ years of carnivore experience you are telling lots of fibs here. I think you would do well to do a 90 day Beef, Bacon, Butter & Eggs diet :)
Abbey, I can offer my experience with the carnivore diet. I've tried it as an experiment to see if it helps my endometriosis (because literally nothing else worked so far). The diet made me feel the best I've ever felt. By a long shot. And I had been eating pretty healthy before that. It didn't help my endo but it did make my anxieaty disappear. And I didn't even know I HAD anxiety issues - I assumed everyone felt this way, that it was normal to be anxious alll the time. Only when it went away, I realised "oh, that was not normal". Now, after 2 years, I'm slowly easing back to more regular way of eating, simply because I miss variety.
A lot of thoughts on this one (that no one asked for :)) but I do think that while his daughter Mikayla definitely did need to go this extreme with her diet to avoid autoimmune symptoms that were killing her and disintegrating her joints, even she is trying to introduce more foods as her body has healed. And I always thought it a bit odd that Jordan followed suit in such an extreme way. I did the carnivore diet for about a year and it SAVED me from these absolutely insane and extreme diagnosis including fatty liver disease, leaky gut, passing out randomly, but I would never look at it as a permanent fix. We need a variety of foods for good health, and as soon as I could tolerate them I brought in more foods
I think if you listen to him speak in detail about the various physical and mental troubles he had been having in the years leading up to this, it would make a little more sense. You could listen to his most recent interview on Modern Wisdom if you're interested.
You can get all of the nutrition you need to live healthy from just eating carnivore, nose to tail. This idea that we need variety is unsubstantiated nonsense. The only reason some people want variety is because they get bored. But we do not "NEED" variety.
A disingenuous video. The man was explaining his personal experience and made no claims that this was the only way for everyone to eat. Your presentation seemed vitriolic and nitpicky.
Peterson also said in this same interview that eating this way long term would eventually “kill him.” He and his daughter have done this extreme diet from an extreme need to relieve extreme symptoms.
Yeah, he’s actively told other people not to do this AND admitted he probably should have done a full elimination diet where he added stuff back in to deal with his symptoms and issues BUT he’s a hyper intellectual who was lazy and just saw that the meat thing would absolutely work with no grey area and that’s all he wanted. He knows it’s stupid. If you look into a lot of people in this variety they are all smart dumb people😂
Agreed. I'm really surprised by this video as the entire point of Peterson's diet is to relieve his mental and physical illness - because if he carried on with a 'normal diet he would be dead. This diet really saved his life and I'm so surprised that considering there is a big push on treating illness with nutrition that Abbey would rip it apart.
There’s a lot of people on TH-cam that do carnivore and are great sources of information steak and butter gal is a former vegan and went carnivore because her vegan diet took away her period she’s thriving. She interviews a lot of people in the community
I developed a severe neurodegenerative illness (pretty much MS) at the beginning of this year and I’m only 27, but have had a few years of being vegan/vegetarian under my belt. Anyways my health spiraled, went four months without sleeping or having a period. Developed neuropathy, swelling- veins bulging all over my body up to my chest. In three months I reversed it all, including reversing depression and anxiety which was a pleasant suprise. It’s so easy for me to feel happy and hopeful now, just feeling so myself. I realize it’s very hip and cool for people my age to hate anything Jordan Peterson says or does but it’s very misguided and not doing anyone any favors to be so narrow minded. Most often it’s the things we’re most certain of we should be questioning when it comes to the nuances of health implications
Peterson has had a well-documented extreme battle with addiction to benzodiazepines and a refusal to get proper treatment. This is not to shame him, but this was simultaneously while he was claiming this diet cured him of all his ills but more importantly a very strict self-blame form of therapy advocated in his own work. He has a very different standard for how other people should treat their addictions and problems and how he treats himself. It's not that he should be ashamed or anyone should shame him for this addiction but given the mindset he advocates for and his own issues I do not consider him a credible source on this topic or nutrition.
He wasn't dealing with addiction. He was dealing with dependency. Two very different things. He was not abusing his benzo medication. He was taking it as prescribed and hit trouble withdrawing from it, which is very common. In fact, I provide peer support in groups that center around psych medication withdrawal, and this is a common occurrence. Doctors often take their patients off their benzos too fast, or they go into detox which is, again, too fast and traumatizing. This has left many, many people with long-term psych, neuro, and physical issues.
@@happytobe_here9483 did you watch the him on this particular podcast? I have seen him on others but in this one he seemed to spew a lot of nonsense. He didn’t seem well a bit unhinged. I’m thinking he’s having more issues then he lets on
@@BPJonida I have been following him, yes. I don't even like listening to him or his political/philosophical views, but unfortunately, many people are unwell for a long time after botched tapers and remedies from benzo withdrawal.
That is 110% blatantly fucking false what you just said. He’s gone to rehab centers in different countries to get help with that addiction which he obtained when his life was completely fucking falling apart and he had nothing to fall back on besides a prescription. His wife was battling an incurable disease and they thought she was going to die, his daughter’s Health was rapidly failing and cancel culture mobbists like yourself we’re fighting tooth and nail to permanently ruin his fucking life for seemingly no reason at all. Before I go any further in picking apart this blatant misinformation that you’ve spread here, let me ask you; how in the ever loving fuck is someone else’s addiction any ounce of your business, or how does it begin to become relevant here? I would kill to see you try and explain that. You genuinely tried to say that because someone has had an addiction that means that any time they talk about a diet that has done them good they should be 100% discredited. Not even bothering to touch on how absolutely fucking insane and riddled with logical fallacies that is - you’re literally a TH-cam commentor. I can’t imagine the delusional narcissism it must take to think YOU’RE in any way more qualified than a man talking about a disease him and his daughter have and what they did that was successful in combating it. This is why I can’t stand Abby and her audience, you all are the absolute epitome of pseudo-intellectualism on TH-cam. And you’re unnecessarily toxic like it’s a competition you’re striving to win. You are not an expert on diets, addiction, or the disease Jordan Peterson and his daughter have suffered from. You’re a narcissistic pseudo-intellectual in a TH-cam comment section letting your hatred of Jordan Peterson cloud your ability to act like a functional human being.
Honestly, I feel bad for him because he seems cognitively altered by his illness. I was really hoping he would choose to retire after it, because it seemed very probable it would change him in a fundamental way-made him more on edge, more nervous, more brain fog, etc. he’s also getting on in years. Why ruin the beautiful legacy he had spent all his life to build, by a few slip-ups due to aging and sickness?
She obviously doesn't know crap. Just was enough to look at her arguments about vitamin C. You DO GET vitamin C on a carnivore diet but the amount is LOW. The requirement for vitamin C just drop massively on low carb diets. Amazing how a "dietitian" doesn't really know this.
Here's the deal with Carnivore Diet as it relates to scurvy ... 1. Fresh meat does have Vit-C because the animal needed to have that, just like we do. Military organizations have known for centuries that you can cure scurvy in the troops by feeding them fresh meat, and it was the sailors who only ate ships biscuits that got scurvy, not the officers who also got dried meats (even dried it retains enough). 2. Meat doesn't have high levels of Vit-C like say fruit, but as carnivores, we also doesn't need to have such high levels, because the Vit-C and glucose compete for the same transport channels in our cells, so operating with no carbs means we have much better use of the available Vit-C. 3. One of the primary functions of Vit-C is in the synthesis of collagen (hence why the symptoms of scurvy are derived from a lack of collagen), but of course on a whole animal based diet, we're actually consuming collagen in much greater quantities than on a SAD diet, so there's much less demand for that function. At 60yo, I've been carnivore for about 2 years now (keto for 3), and my collagen situation is doing just great (skin is in way better condition, gum health is great and dental issues non-existent), my previously high blood pressure is 120/80, my arthritis is gone, underactive thyroid is normal again, my pre-diabetes has reversed, I've lost 40Kg, fatty liver disease is gone, my mood is much improved, my energy and mental focus is way better, and best of all, I'm on zero medication. In the balance of things, your snarky remarks don't stack up well against such actual results. I'd suggest doing more research. I would say the main down-side is with social eating, but I get by - people don't seem to mind if you just eat the meat on your plate and leave the rest.
According to Harvard School of Public Health, Fiber is a carbohydrate that the body can’t digest. You might as well eat a paper bag. You’ll get the same nutrition from it.
My father started the carnivore diet to address severe joint pain that wasn't getting better through traditional treatment methods before opting for surgery. Ever since starting it a few months ago, his joints are back to normal, his bloodwork looks great, he can finally exercise again, and his blood pressure is at a healthy level again after decades of extremely high blood pressure. I'm hesistant about the other health effects of the diet, however, so I'm glad to hear he said he will be phasing it out of his diet. He isn't sure if meat was the cause of this change, the elimination of added sugar, or something else. Hopefully the improvement in his joints and blood pressure stays with him after returning to a more normal diet!
Carnivore has been a life saver for me. I have Hashimoto's Thyroid disease and I am off medication. I eat all the bacon, butter and beef I want. It's very satisfying. I will be Carnivore for life. Dr. Ken Berry is a real doctor with real information on Carnivore. I wouldn't listen to this lady. She has no idea what she is talking about.
Is chronic suffer from do Much inflammation that carnivore is ideal in that it’s very nutrient dense that helps the body heal and it’s usually higher in fat and that’s great for all the fat soluble vitamins. So many plants are hard to digest that it’s hard to get any benefit from them so by the time you decide to restrict usually it’s because of the chemicals pesticides and fertilizers used to grow the plants that we are so sensitive to. It’s a shame nobody addresses that ever and just tell us eat the veggies
@@michellelynnm1933 She is a fully qualified dietician, i.e. an expert in food who studied dietetics (nutrition) at undergrad and postgraduate level. My doctor and every honest doctor admits that dieticians know far more about nutrition than MDs (of course maybe your MD sought further education after he finished his MD, but I doubt it or he would brag about that instead of his MD)
@TH-cam Account And you do I'm guessing? People online will do anything to discredit professionals based off of their own personal stories and posts they saw on facebook, especially if they are women. Abbey cites all her studies and does a great job breaking down the information.
My ex tried to convince me to go carnivore despite knowing that I’m vegetarian and actively fighting an ED. It’s not why we broke up but it certainly did push me closer to that decision.

Suffering from arthritis, this is the only way of eating that gives me total relief within days when i have a bad flare up! My issue with it is calming cravings!!
I usually go for a sugar free soda. It might also be that you should increase either fat or protein.. you need to figure out for yourself which works for you. Also, having a snack outside the 'diet' now and then won't kill you.
It's surprising how many individuals don't seem to comprehend that just because an extreme diet makes them feel better and relieves the symptoms of another disease doesn't mean it's beneficial for them in the long term.
Oh god, THIS! His daughter was dying for Christ's sake! All they are asking is more studies in this! Not only that since every single time JP talks about it he talks about how horrible it is, how isolating, monotone, how he doesn't suggest it to anyone!

It's not a diet, it's a way of eating and there's nothing extreme about it. As far as disease goes, it put my type 2 diabetes in remission and brought my CAC score to 0. Also dropped my BP from the 150s into the 120s.

As a result a calorie is not a calorie as the body doesn't absorb all of the fat you ingest but it does take all most all of the carbohydrates you consume and turn them into triglycerides. Once you start getting into the science of Carnivore it makes a lot of sense but simple truth is the proof is in trying it for two weeks.
@@jbob7148 I don’t need to tell that to the Inuits because in fact they follow that same extreme diet due to their extreme environmental conditions, the unavailability of foods make their diet restricted, inadequate and incomplete due to the lack of the nutrients I already mentioned, I didn’t disregard that it can work for some people, but by no means this diet checks any mark for adequacy of healthy diets. The beef liver argument has been debunked in this video and many times, If you saw the video you would know the ridiculously low amount of ascorbic acid it contains, making it a non-source of vitamin C and other nutrients. That the Randle cycle doesn’t occur is in fact not true, it just occurs with the oxidation of fatty acids instead of glucose, so I don’t understand why you say suddenly our body gets rid of a metabolic function it has, it makes no sense. It is also worth mentioning that Inuits or other carnivore indigenous people as Masaais aren’t healthy even comparing to occidental populations, i.e. Inuits live ~10 years less than Canadians and have double a double fold increase in cardiovascular diseases.
Started the Lion Diet from the JP video you reference. Lost 20lbs first month, 10lbs second month. has been a net benfit for me overall. WTF do I care about how boring it is? I look better and Im healther overall despite whatever deficiencies it creates. JP wasn't on joe rogan to to talk about the diet, he was sharing a personal experience. You didn't mention chemical or hormones, chemicals sprayed on any foods whatsoever, their dangers to us, or how removing the foods covered with them would be a great health benifit. Very disingenuous reaction video Abby.
You could rename this video “Grown woman has a temper tantrum about how much she hates Jordan Peterson’s diet for 15 minutes straight.” For a dietician, you seem to have to curse a lot to make your point. No professionalism.
To be fair, Jordan Peterson explicitly states that he does not recommend this diet to anyone. He only does this because he and his daughter have suffered from auto immune disease and he has found it helps him manage his symptoms.
Hmm if he wasn’t promoting this diet, why would he be on a podcast touting all the incredible benefits? That disclaimer feels like very thin lip service.
@@abbymyers5072 because this is something different about him and he got asked? This is Joe Rogan podcast. They are usually 2-4 hours long. How much of that have you seen in those clips here? And basically on one hand he does not recommend it but on the other he knows at least two chronically ill people who found help in it. It is kind of: when you tried to do everything to get better, nothing worked and you are completely hopeless then, here, this might be the last resort worth of taking chance on. It is cool to think about it all and critisize it as mostly healthy person. I get sick of being sick after two weeks. He and his daughter experienced ilnesses affecting they’re lives in major way, especially daughter. Like basically having almost no life outside of ilness. I guarantee: you would do even more than this diet if you would be in her position.
While I sympathize with the health challenges that brought about this extreme diet (arthritis for Mikhaila and depression for Jordan), I can also criticize his choice to promote it given the inherent dangers of such a restricted and imbalanced way of eating. Joe Rogan brought him on as a guest to talk about this diet, which Mikhaila has been promoting/monetizing through her blog. Interestingly enough neither of them still follow this way of eating, which is rather telling. The diet itself is not backed by research so what likely helped these folks was not the magic of beef but the placebo effect. Jordan Peterson is a self-important, fascist so his diet and his scummy promotion of it is but one of his many detractors.
@@abbymyers5072 what in his views is facist? His main goal is to teach people about worth of taking responsibility in life. He is also quite educated in both facism and communism (which people in West generally don’t understand at all, and I am talking about it as tourguide from post communist country that does communism tours for westerners). You need to not know anything about him beside some clips to come to that conclusion. You are literally proving by this comment that you didn’t watch him: you were searching what could be misrepresented in his statements. Also he clearly stated he is not recommending it. And when Mikhaila discussed it at Oxford Union, she supported it with researches, and basically just said that it should be discussed, as there are people who could get help in this. This diet is for desperate needs, but desperate needs call for desperate solutions. For analogy: are people who e.g. after SA, came back to functioning in their sexuality by very pathological behaviours, and share it later on as „this was my experience and my way of dealing” promoting pathological sexual behaviours?
While I agree with you about the ridiculousness of this diet, I don't understand the need to demonize all red meat. I grew up in a family of hunters, we've always eaten a diet consisting of a high amount of venison. Yes it's red meat, but incredibly lean and healthy.
It isn't demonising, it's talking about the facts with the studies (or lack of, as a form of evidence in itself) to back it up. Your personal family history does not equate to the truth. Hunting wild has its own benefits, meat varies in quality across the world and depending on food standards per country. But the science does indicate that red meat can aggravate health conditions, including cancer, and people should keep this in mind.
@TH-cam Account Yes it does. This isn't about clickbait articles but actual recommendations from health organisations (NHS, WHO) about red meat consumption. Are you implying that they are all misrepresenting the facts? A simple google churns up studies and reviews of studies by A. Wolk, Sabine Rohermann, Evelyne Battaglia Richi & et al., Xia Wang et al, Kyuwoong Kim et al. There are studies which also recommend a reassessment of the impacts of red meat in specifically low quantities (aka its okay in smaller quantities). Much more work is needed in the field, but it isn't disingenuous to imply that studies point toward red meat aggravating health conditions, especially in larger quantities.
@TH-cam Account Why should I read the studies when you clearly haven't? What nugget of truth is hiding in the pages of the study which suggests that the conclusions which they made at the end of the study aren't what the study actually meant? Seriously, the logic is laughable. The NHS and WHO website have remained up to date about the pandemic, they haven't exactly mishandled it like governments who have chosen not to follow scientific advice have (which has led to more lockdowns, deaths etc.)
@TH-cam Account And I have read plenty of studies, I just can't cite them right now because I don't the info for my specific ones to hand. I was just stating that this isn't just some tinhat anti red meat conspiracy by journos but an area of study which is evident from a preliminary google search. What studies do you have which are worth a read? Can you do me a summary of some key ones I should look into?
Fatty red meat is not only healthier than lean, but it's essential. Look up "rabbit starvation" to find out what happens when your protein intake is higher than your saturated fat intake.
I'm on day 2 of the carnivore diet and i already feel my health returning. Inflammation is way down and a cystic lesion that I've had on my face for weeks has healed more quickly in the past 48 hours than it has since it cropped up a few weeks ago, and it is no longer causing me pain. The cysts that were just below my skin, threatening to surface, have already DISAPPEARED. If you are suffering AT ALL, please do not listen to this woman and try it for yourself.
I love a burger or steak sometimes, but if all I consumed were beef, salt, and water, I'd be struggling to choke down one meal a day after a while. I'm not surprised at all that he lost so much weight.
Sorry I eat carnivore as well, have experienced all of the same benefits jordan describes and have no issues eating everyday. The less junk you eat, the less you want it.
Honestly yeah same. Once my family and I were vacationing in Morraco and for over two weeks all we had were grilled meats like EVERY SINGLE DAY. After a while, we started getting and sick and tired of it haha; also my mom started getting a headache. Anyway, when we came back from our vacation, we didn’t cook meat for like a month! (And this is coming from huge meat lovers)
These videos are driving me crazy. Are the Petersons dead? Do they have scurvy? “wHaT dOeS tHe ScIeNcE sAy?” lived experience is literally all that matters when it comes to individual diets. If this works for people, let them eat this way.
I have chronic, neurological Lyme disease and if I eat dairy, gluten, sugar or processed food I can end up in bed for days. If I have a busy day I don’t eat as much because I will get brain fog and become very tired. Digestion takes so much energy and my body is trying to deal with all of the other issues so sometimes digesting food is the last thing it needs to be dealing with. I developed terrible, itchy rashes from eating fruits because of the sugar. My point to all of this is that until you have a chronic, inflammatory condition maybe we shouldn’t be so judgemental on what other people do in order to keep going every day. He didn’t do this diet to lose weight and neither did his daughter who had major health issues since she was a child. If they feel better and can function better then good on them. People make fun of the way I eat and while I would love to eat the things that nutritionists say we need in our diet (gluten, dairy and fruit), I would be in agony. I went from not being able to work for two years to being able to clear up many of my physical symptoms from mainly changing my diet. And that is my two cents.
Inuit diets are far far more diverse than this, like incomparably more diverse and historically were really not restrictive at all. Both historically and today Inuit diets include a variety of fish, other seafood, and a variety of types of meat from a variety of marine mammals. Meat from these marine mammals also have a completely different nutrient profile than beef, including more nutrients including vitamin c, particularly when you include the blubber, skin and organ meats which are some of the most common foods and also considered highly nutritious delicacies. Inuit have also both historically and today eat a variety of high nutrient density vegetarian foods such as a variety of seasonal greens and berries. While these are more common at certain times of the year, berries in particular are surprisingly preservable, so would have even historically been eaten for much of the year. We see similar diets among Scandinavians and the indigenous Sami people of Russia and Scandinavia, and though at certain points in the year they rely heavily on meat, they still have very diverse diets even at the coldest time of year.
IIRC, marine mammals also contain some glycogen in their meat, meaning that the Inuits weren’t eating pure protein and fat when they ate these animals anyway. Almost all of the tribes/societies that modern carnivore dieters tout as being carnivorous do include some plant foods, and/or eat animals/animal parts that modern dieters do not. You cannot compare the Maasai diet (which includes raw milk and cow blood) to a modern carnivore dieter eating nothing but steak and say, “See! The Maasai eat carnivore too so it’s healthy!” The diets are not comparable. But they do it anyway.
@@faunivore9485 It’s crazy inducing. I would rather follow ‘anecdotal’ evidence that I have tried and actually works than a thousand studies about what ‘should’ work and never does.
Get your facts straight Abbey, why don’t you get to know why he & his daughter chose that diet!!!! “Don’t judge lest u be judge!” Everyone is different, thank the Lord!! You may be preventing someone’s way to a painless lifestyle! Don’t forget him, you may need him in the future!!!
His daughter has talked about how she and also he have the gene for coeliac disease, and this kind of radical exclusion diet would obviously be good for that because of having no gluten! It's totally unnecessary to go that far, certainly long term.
Actually, she’s gone into a lot of detail into how she had tried to reintroduce foods multiple times and just couldn’t because she’d be sick for weeks. Like, couldn’t function sick. Like… sores all over her body that wouldn’t heal sick.
I have celiac disease and it is so important to make sure you have vital nutrients (fruits, veggies, grains) because celiac can make you extremely malnourished!
Radical exclusion diets are absolutely unnecessary and often dangerous for coeliacs. We already struggle with malabsorption, so cutting out foods beyond just gluten can lead to severe deficiencies. Since they have the gene but its not triggered, it's not even necessary to cut gluten out at this stage - doing what they're doing could even trigger it.
It would be hypocrisy for anyone in the wellness culture to comment on this (meat only) way of eating given they spend endless hours telling you how rich in vitamins and nutrients their food choices are yet shovelling down handfuls of vitamins, supplements and powders! They all come under the same banner an ED.
And the fact that its before anything an 'environmental' movement, and its trying so hard to convince of its health superiority. I cant imagine eating plants only, empty unsatisfying food.
The carnivore turned my life around. I’ll never go back to your way of eating. I eat for 10$ a day. I lost 20 pounds. Blood pressure down from 140/100 to 110/80. Normalized blood sugar. My gut is so much better as well. No fiber equals one BM every 2-3 days. No farting. My joints got better. Every time I had a bolus of carbs my hands would swell and become painful. Decreased inflammation big time. I don’t have to think about what I’m having…as long as it’s animal based. People talk about it being boring…..that simply reflects their poor relationship with food. I think of food as sustenance only….it’s not an event that I’m concerned with. You talk about gut microbes. I have no issues with digestion. You talked about being satiated on carnivore. Perhaps it could be your getting everything you need in the diet and your body is simply able to digest the bioavailability of meat. I tried your methods…all I did was fart and defecate multiple times a day. I think Peterson probably tried yours as well…it didn’t work apparently. You seem to think weight isn’t an issue. Weight to height ratio is pegged to metabolic disease….I can’t believe you said that. The studies you cited are highly suspect as the participants probably also had carbs and fiber along with the meat they consumed during the study. As far as saturated fat, when also simultaneously mix carbs in the meal you activate the Randle Cycle. You mix energy calories like that in the diet leads to large amount of inflammation. How does meat displace fiber??? Can you digest and properly extract the vitamins and nutrients from the plants you take in???Or do you have to grind them into a fine dust or make smoothies to get the nutrients? You don’t need vitamin C on an all meat diet. But sure better supplement for C on your way of eating because your diet is highly inflammatory. I’ve been carnivore for 5 years now….no scurvy. My diet is about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of meat per day along with some eggs. With the fat that’s plenty for my 185 pound frame. Jacked and tan at 51. There are a lot of converted vegans who had their moods and mental health greatly improved by ditching the plants. Carnivore is not keto due to the gluconeogenesis with amino acids. This video is fake news.
I tried the Abby Sharp diet and guess what my Diabetes came back like fire within two weeks...the I returned to Carnivore again and guess what...my diabetes is gone. Human cant digest fiber , and so far these "dieticians " have caused me to end up on more medications and end up in hospital with Pancreatitis. So far Carnivore is the only thing that works.
Was carnivore for a while keto now. It was great I stopped feeling hungry and my blood sugar stopped going to extremes. Carnivore Is not just beef it’s animal based so that includes eggs dairy fish shellfish chicken lamb pork turkey and a lot more. I found that my skin cleared up my joints aches less the inflammation went away and I wasn’t ravenous. Careful with your recommendations to people since you have your own issues that being an expert isn’t solving.
Every thing he talked about worked for me. The results started in days for me. If it makes a person feel better they will live better and should live longer. My grandmother Past at 64, she was very good about eating vegies. And out of 10 kids all the others lived into their 80s 90s and one 102.
I have to say I lost a good chunk of respect for Abbey's channel after watching this. I'm very familiar with JP's work & his and his daughter's lifetime struggles with autoimmune diseases and I listened to this particular podcast episode several times. I can't help thinking Abbey either completely misunderstood it or she's just jumping on a cheap click bait wagon using Rogan's and Peterson's name. I've never heard JP recommending this diet to anyone so I don't understand why she treats the subject as such. If this was a video on keto / carnivore diets in general - great stuff. However, this is a story of an individual who clearly doesn't sit in the middle ranges of most research spectra and despite the odds managed to find an approach that improved the quality of his life, and again - not pushing it on anyone else so why the nagging? What really got me is when she suggested his improvement might be down to placebo - yeah, try to beat a clinical psychologist at his game...
she ignored the whole story indeed. its obvious that she did that deliberately because SHE HAS AN AGENDA TO PUSH(doesnt like carnivore). also, despite being not that old, she doesnt seem all that healthy to me. i know someone older who looks much better than her. hmm.. diet probably makes a big difference here..
@@heidikindon5182 I don't support keto but I never understood the whole "No coffee" thing being spread around. I have heard some people that follow these types of diets say it. I've been drinking coffee for over 18 years with no side effects, but I also don't have a sensitivity to caffeine or coffee in general.
I never thought anything of eating this way(do what you wanna' do), until my husband's friend had a heart attack and died. He started this diet to lose a large amount of weight(60+ lbs.), because he saw it touted on YT. He worked out every day and was pretty jacked. He ate/lived like this for a year. He was also dead by his 40th birthday. He went from "I feel great" to "I don't feel so good" to deceased in about 48 hours. Eating in this extreme way, is no way to live, no matter what someone's "success" might look like.
Yeah… nice try. Sorry Abbey, I’m not for fad diets. Don’t really give two shits. Jordan is a fucking beast when it comes to facts,common sense. If he wants to eat meat, let him!
I'm on the carnivore diet. Within 4 days my autoimmune symptoms were at bay and I stopped bleeding from my bum (soz). The bleeding dropped my iron levels which quickly returned to normal. Teeth are whiter and stronger, skin cleared up, I'm much slimmer, energy for days, Bipolar and BPD non existent, chronic idiopathic pruritus is gone, androgenetic alopecia stalled, regular daily bowel movements are normal. List goes on. The best I've ever felt in my entire life. Scurvy free. I appreciate your opinion but perhaps don't knock it til you've tried it. Science is against you here.
It's about symbolism of masculinity more than anything, esp with the name "the lion diet..." i do have a problem with his categorization of masculinity as order & femininity as chaos & heralding order/masculinity above everything. He has such a bizarre worldview & way of living which would be okay if he was just an individual & wasn't trying to influence anybody. & to hear him mention his weight loss is concerning, while I think you can't tell somebody's weight by looking at them there is a certain point where you become visibly underweight & he definitely is.
@@treasureeilyn well that woman is his daughter who he is very close to (to the point of adopting her insane diet) so she probably believes similar things to him
@@luiysia random disparagement aside, you haven't addressed the point at all. The name was coined by a woman, and therefore the odds of it having to do with masculinity are slim.
@@treasureeilyn it was coined by his daughter and she uses all sorts of masculine language to praise the benefits of it. She very much endorses his worldview masculine and feminine traits, holding the masculine to be superior and the feminine to be of xhaos.
One side note..I recall the episode of JR where Jordan’s daughter is on. She goes into great detail about the grueling journey she went on to discover what her body could tolerate, as she seems to have the same gut issues as her father. She tried so many foods/diets, and suffered chronic diarrhea and, interestingly, depression. I didn’t listen to this episode, but I think the Petersons have a strange genetic gut allergy/intolerance.
He might have 'solved' the main issue at hand, but in the long term, depriving himself from other nutrients from the other food groups will create a new world of other issues in the long run.
No, because meat is a complete food, although you must eat a little bit raw to get vitamin C, like the Eskimos did. You are ignorant if you think plant foods have special nutrients not found in meat.
@@Michelle-Eden first of all, meat isn't a "complete food", you would have known if you watched the video. Second of all, it's the inuit population, not Eskimo.
@@cerineko7984 Alaskan and Greenland tribes are OK with Eskimo, Canadians prefer Inuit. Jesus, stop virtue signalling. Secondly, in terms of nutrients needed for humans to thrive yes, fatty red meat is a complete food. There is NOTHING humans need for optimum health not found in it. If I am wrong, then please name the essential nutrient that is not found in red meat.
Also when people say “don’t you get bored eating that?” Its like ok I didn’t know we eat for entertainment now but makes sense. I’d say unless you’ve tried carnivore for at least 2-4 weeks your opinion of it means little to the thousands of personal testimonies of those (like me) who got themselves off of all their medications and supplements and saw a complete 180 in their health and well-being. It’s the best decision I ever made for my health
🙌🏻 Same! I say give it 60-90 days, her SIBO and Anxiety would be poof…gone. My digestion, mental health, blood sugars and blood pressure have never been this good in my life! It’s insane.
Uh yeah, food has always been a part of culture, and human beings also eat for enjoyment, comfort, and human connection, not just fuel. I feel badly for you if you haven't experienced that. And it's great if the diet works for you, but that doesn't make it right for everyone. I'd also really like to hear some carnivore diet testimonies from people who don't have a million health problems.
@@theprousteffect9717 I don’t know any Carnivores who haven’t experienced that? I was your typical FOODIE, actually up a level from that, an avid and very good cook who threw tons of very impressive parties and theme dinners. That’s what people don’t get UNTIL they become Carnivore- you don’t miss that aspect because you have zero cravings and are so ridiculously satiated by the saturated fat and that’s all your body craves. My husband (who was addicted to pasta and donuts lol and who would always overeat, and who had very little health problems compared to me, LOVES this way of eating! It’s crazy still to me. He’s lost nearly 30 lbs and got rid of an anger issue he had. He tells everyone it’s the best diet because you’re never hungry and you get to eat meat all the time and he is never tempted by anything he used to love. We are going on 7 months. 🙌🏻 It’s definitely the craziest sounding thing until you do it!
also, that vitamin c is easily bioavailable, and come with other anti oxidants too like taurine, uric acid, and purines(not really an anti oxidant but is used to make uric acid. theres also glutamine, glycine, and cystine which are used to make glutathione the master anti oxidant. we dont even need to eat liver or something. just muscle meat that is not overcooked is adequate. this anti-carnivore influencer doesnt look so healthy to me. i think shes on the wrong diet. us carnivores are much healthier.
This woman is incredibly disingenuous and/or doesn’t actually understand how to interpret the studies.. She would never have the balls to debate someone like Professor Bart Kay. Any half-assed attempt at (failed) rebuttal she makes you can clearly see she’s reading from articles on the screen while not actually understanding them. There’s the fact vitamin C is available in meats & isn’t needed in as much abundance in the absence of carbohydrates due to the fact vitamin C competes with glucose for uptake in the body.
Jordan Peterson telling his anecdotal experience sounding way for convincing than you annoying responses. Your approach sounds like you don’t know what you’re talking about. Jordan sounded much more educated in his reasoning than you did in your rebuttal. I think I’m going to put down my banana and go have a steak now
From the time that I was a very young child, I was a carnivor, with a very small, select of vegetables and a very few fruits. And then fresh raw milk and cream, butter, and farm fresh eggs. All fresh from the farm or forest. And I have been healthy my whole life, so far. I am never sick, hardly never get a cold or flu. Never bloated, never constipated. Strong teeth. Meat also keeps me from feeling hungry, for many hours, before it's time for another meal. I don't have the need for snacks. Always have lots of energy. And other people in my family, are the same. I have Grand parents in their 80s and 90s. Never in the hospital. Strong, still living active lives. No diseases. So, I see no reason, to ever change. Humans evolved, eating mostly meat. It is natural for humans.
WHAT? I can't believe that Jordan Peterson says that Vitamin C is unnecessary. Has he ever heard of scurvy? Getting enough Vitamin C should be easy. Many fruits and vegetables have at least some, and a few are extremely rich in this nutrient. I've used Cronometer on a few select days to spot check my diet, and I can easily consume 200 to 400 mg per day from food, compared to the RDA of 90 mg.
Meat contains vitamin C. If you eat it raw or lightly cooked, you'll get enough. The more starch and sugar you eat, the more vitamin C you need to process it.
@@SuzanneU Or at any rate connective tissue contains vitamin C. And companies don't bother to clean it off the meat because it's utterly pointless to do so and it doesn't affect the taste of the meat. So if you eat meat and it isn't well-done, you're going to get connective tissue - and the vitamin C trapped in it - along with the meat.
The need for Vitamin C goes down with reduced carb intake because they compete for uptake. A diet rich in meat and organs are full of collagen that the body can use. Vitamin C only increase uptake of non heme iron in plants. That's not needed for heme iron which already have a high uptake.
This is exactly why people find "cleanses" and "detoxing" so beneficial. It's less about what you reduce your diet to than the fact that you reduce it to a few essentials that you aren't sensitive to. They sort of do what they advertize- give your body a rest- for some of the reasons that the people pushing them tend to use- that what you eat regularly is messing with your body somehow- but they tend to add a lot of BS along with those core truths. Still, it's easier to just go back on the detox or cleanse for a while than figure out which specific foods give you problems. As someone who hates getting new glasses and playing the "which is better" game, I'm betting that most people find it nearly impossible to add back foods deliberately and slowly enough to identify all their trigger foods.
Meat only diet? It is kinda wierd bc meat is usually served with veggies or grains (Chicken and rice dishes, garnishes on steak plate, Barbeque with pickled vegitables, etc..) +)And since I am Korean.. whenever I eat some kind of meat, fish.. or even tofu I feel that urge to have that kimchi...
I think a lot of people who think some crazy diet is benefitting them think so because the diet excludes certain bad stuff that reasonable diets also exclude like junk food or other high-calorie foods. A macrobiotic diet cuts out sugar, caffeine and red meat which is great but it also cuts out almost all other food as well.
I believe so much of the success that comes from the carnivore diet is mainly about what you're not eating.. i.e. sugars and processed junk , and not so much about the meat you're eating. Fasting goes a long way on its own as well.. which seems like happens on this carnivore diet because the meat takes so long to digest which leads to less meals. Just my 2 cents..🤷♂️✌️
This discussion is super important and interesting, but I wish the Petersons' reasons for this diet were better laid out in this video, because it makes it seem like they decided to go for it for no reason. Mikhaila's videos would have been more interesting to analyze because she goes into details of the origins of this diet for her and her father.
There's a reason why potatoes gained so much popularity around the world; they prevented sailers from getting scurvy, as they don't get bad quickly & have vitamin c.
My love for potatoes compels me to say that I bet there were other reasons, too. They’re satiating, wildly versatile, relatively easy to cultivate, nourishing, yummy, come in many varieties and can be cultivated to form new varieties, and, yes, they’re durable.
The reason sailors got scurvy is because all the meat they brought onboard had to be salted for preservation. Nobody who eats fresh meat gets scurvy. For most of human existence, citrus fruits and potatoes were unavailable, especially during the Ice Age, yet humans thrived for tens of thousands of years on a carnivore diet. No fruits. No veggies. And no scurvy.
I could never eat this way. I’ve done Atkins and keto, and the constipation was a huge problem. And I craved bread. I don’t even like bread that much. Today I’m WFPB and there is never any issue in the bathroom! Thanks for telling it like it is!
Utter nonsense. No one gets constipated when they remove fibre from food. Firbe causes constipation. This person probably thought if they don't shit 2kg worth of shit they're constipated. Fibre makes the stool big, bulky and it scratches your anus. Not a benefit.
I disagree! I'm nearly 50....done every diet to try to heal my many issues....none worked accept Carnivore. I have been Carnivore for a year. Healthiest I've ever been in my life. Healed my severe asthma, fibromyalgia and joint pain and gone down 3 dress sizes. This woman is just spouting the poor education she was given. So smug....yet so clueless. Not boring... beef salt and water....honestly makes you feel so amazing....that it is so doable and not boring. I love the way I eat....So NOT expensive either. You fine ways to buy meat in bulk cheap. My grocery bill has gone down over $100 a week because I'm not buying all the junk and veges. My waste has gone down as well. Everything I buy gets eaten. No waste. Less plastic....Honestly if we all went carnivore we would save our planet.
Interesting how every single comment from a "carnivore" is incredibly rude, insulting, spouts incorrect or unfounded information, and devalues a registered dietitian's credentials. You folks sound a lot like defensive, obnoxious, ranty, ill-informed vegans. If your diet works for you, that's great, but it doesn't mean it's the diet that the vast majority of nutritional studies support or that everyone should go on it.
@@theprousteffect9717 I listened to what your spouting for years and where did it get me!?....Fat and sick. The reason so many are speaking out so passionately ( or ranting by your opinion🥴) is we have woken up to the lies. I followed dieticians advice and spent a lot of money and got nowhere. In the end I did my own research, found doctors who are living proof it works and are standing against the system which you have bought into that is so corrupt. It is not about health it is always about money first. Seems like you need little more meat in your diet.....might be able to cope with the insults and offenses a little easier. Its called the Carnivore calm. Its a real thing. You read my comment and completely overlooked all the things this way of eating has fixed in my life to just criticize my opinion....see how easy it is to get distracted and miss the truth. Healed by meat....its a fact. Not an opinion.
I was on the carnivore diet for several months. I've been on a lot of different diets, but this was the first one that produced dramatic results in all areas of my health. All of my yearly blood work either stayed the same or significantly improved. It was also by far the easiest to stick to. Nutrition science, after passing through filters of bureaucrats, activist pundits, corporate marketing and worst of all: journalists, has been a joke for decades. If I could afford it, I'd stay on the carnivore diet indefinitely, like more and more people are doing to finally get into good health.
You clearly don't understand how science works. Nutritional science is not a "joke." Maybe read some actual peer-reviewed literature, instead of getting your information from pop culture and random opinion pieces.
Ehhhhh Abby your math on the daily caloric intake is wrong for the price. It isn't just steak but any kind of animal meat. A really common source for those on the carnivore diet is Liver which is pretty damn cheap and Ground meats which isn't the cheapest but does get you pretty close to your needs fast. But yes it is expensive overall but there are ways to mitigate it.
Jordan Peterson has said that he can’t endorse or recommend this diet because he doesn’t know why it works for him. He says that he has found that it has led to his symptoms for his autoimmune disease to go away, not that this diet will necessarily have the same effect on others. I think this video kind of misrepresents what he says
I don’t particularly care how he decides to eat. I DO care a lot about his touting it to other, vulnerable people who don’t know how to call bullshit on him. Both those men are dangerous, Peterson and Rogan, I mean.
Dare you to watch the original video. Let's see if you can and not rescind your comment. He says not to try it and that he isn't an expert pretty much every other sentence. Abbey edited it to remove all his disclaimers.
I started this diet because my girlfriend said so. I'm glad I did!!! I had been out of the gym with joint pain for NINE MONTHS!!! Within 2 weeks of eating this way my joint pain was GONE! I'm back in the gym now lifting with no pain and no stiffness in my joints. My blood pressure has gone down significantly as well. You don't need fiber that is "marketing by the cereal companies" You should NOT watch Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson. I suggest Dr. Berry to learn about Carnivore.
No offense ...BUT ..may I trust an dietician who has health issues? Supposing that you eat the way you recommend...and you still have so bad health issues...I don't know if it's a good idea in general ,to follow an advice. Maybe...just maybe...you should consider to give at least a try to the carnivore way of eating.From what I understood...the way you eat now,doesn't serve you too well. And maybe...just MAYBE..not all the things that are written in the books and learned to get a degree,are the best to follow. Good luck.
My sister-in-law has been on the carnivore diet for about 6 months now. Her autoimmunity issues have significantly reduced. Her current ANA panels show this change. Point is: If the diet improves the overall health of someone, why are you so against it? Isn't that the point? Living healthier more balanced lives.
I don’t think she’s against it. I think she’s against going on the biggest podcast in the world to advertise one very specific diet as a miracle curall
I wonder though, does the carnivore diet cure autoimmune issues? Or do the symptoms subside because there is nothing left to trigger them? Because in the last case, you're not really solving them problem, but you are depriving yourself from important micronutrients. This is not a judgement, just a genuine question as I don't know the mechanism behind it.
I'm more inclined to believe that the carnivore diet 'worked' because it is a sort of elimination diet, therefore, whatever triggering food that may have caused or aggravated the autoimmune issues were removed. I recognize it may be difficult to do an elimination diet to figure out the actual aggravating food, it is worth it in my opinion considering how nutrient deficient the carnivore diet is, which i believe in the long term will cause it's own issues.
@@aoudazbidat6611 this is a great point. People don't seem to consider that just because symptoms improve on an extreme diet doesn't mean they're ultimately being healthy in the long run. You can have some symptoms diminished from certain problems while setting yourself up for some real damage to your body long-term.

I don't like how you said that he endorsed this diet. He has said many times that he doesn't think people should take his eating advice as he's not a dietician. He and his daughter went on this diet because they had incredible auto immune issues that do not apply to most of the population. He didn't do it for weight loss either, that was just a side effect.
He IS endorsing it, because he's acting smug and condescending when describing the diet, lying outright when he says that humans don't need Vitamin C, and claiming that this diet solved all of his health problems. Peterson knows that he has an enormous and devoted fan base who cling to everything he says, and making claims like this is dangerous.
@@supercrazylegs1theoretical you only need a stupidly low amount of vitamin C found in meat or organs IF no glucose is present as they fight for the same receptor.

The Inuit people only ate that way is because they didn't have any choice. A orange was 2000km away.
also they ate vegetables and fruits when they were in season (and still do)
It’s also cause seals eat algae and they bioaccumulate vitamins from them.
Inuit diets are far far more diverse than this, like incomparably more diverse. Both historically and today Inuit diets include a variety of fish, other seafood, and marine mammals. Meat from these marine mammals also have a completely different nutrient profile than beef, including more nutrients including vitamin c, particularly when you include the blubber, skin and organ meats which are some of the most common foods and also considered highly nutritious delicacies. Inuit have also both historically and today eat a variety of high nutrient density vegetarian foods such as a variety of seasonal greens and berries. While these are more common at certain times of the year, berries in particular are surprisingly preservable, so would have even historically been eaten for much of the year. We see similar diets among Scandinavians and the indigenous Sami people of Russia and Scandinavia, and though at certain points in the year they rely heavily on meat, they still have very diverse diets even at the coldest time of year.
@@luiysia In some areas, not all.
Not to mention they are probably uniquely adjusted to eat that way over several generations...
My 86 year mother was on deaths door, suffering from 3 main problems.
Extremely high blood pressure.
Chronic digestive issues.
Poly myalgia.
Last jan 2022 she went total carnivore. All her digestive issues are gone. Her blood pressure is 120/80 (she still takes the meds). Her polymyalgia is gone. She is back playing golf (9 holes with a buggy).
She looks great, she lost fat, she is bright and enthusiastic. Last year i spoke to my wife about preparing for her death. The carnivore diet has transformed her life. That’s our experience with it. 🙂🙏👍
When I eat mostly meat and eggs I have no heartburn, no weight in my stomach after a meal, energy for days.
Update. She is now playing 18 holes and gardening.
@@tomasscully997 That is amazing to hear! My father is a bit younger, pushing 60. Before carnivore (2 years) he was keto since 2015. Before then he had to take Omeprazole every day, had to take all sorts of pills to control all sorts of things. He had a belly that he never was able to lose, and getting fatter and fatter. There are quite a lot of things that changed after he went that direction, including naturally feeling leas hungry and no more cravings, longer bike rides and training more at the gym. No energy boosts and dives, more stable throughout the day. Mental clarity, according to him. I hate to sound like I'm getting pulled into a cult, because it all does indeed sound too good to be true!
I just wish that there were more studies about this diet, and not the "low-carb" that consists of 30% carbs, but a true low-carb, just to REALLY know because my second-hand experience doesn't align at all with what I hear from conventional nutritional information!
That’s awesome. This lady is biased.
I believe if you try carnivore diet instead of making assumptions you will calm down finally. You seem extremely stressed even without saying a single word.
So, I have primary immunodeficiency, I.e. my immune system is on vacation 90% of the time. So, it’s allergy time. I’m allergic to a lot, including food. I can’t eat entire food groups. I’m allergic to dairy, all grains (not gluten….grains!!), legumes, nightshades, eggs, most nuts and seeds, and the allergies extend to things like oil and spices. I’m under the care of multiple doctors because it has me at a high risk of multiple deficiencies. No one would ever choose to eat this way for the term of their life. You only do it out of necessity. You miss out on so much life if you accidentally misstep. I was violently ill at my younger sisters wedding. The caterer was given my list of allergies. As I was eating it, I knew something was wrong. They used vegetable oil, which has canola and corn. It would have been kinder to end me.
I‘m sorry if this is too personal but I am wondering:
I was taught that Allergies are basically caused by your immune system ‚overreacting‘. Do you know why your immunodeficiency leads to your allergies?
All I gotta say is that the carnivore diet lifestyle does work. Worked for me and multiple other people I know. I’ve kept the weight off for 7 years and no side effects. 🤷🏻♀️
Been fantastic for me too. Over two years later and no scurvy here. All my blood tests are perfect, unlike when I was heavily plant based. My quality of life is substantially better. Abby is very wrong with this video.

I've been strict carnivore for three whole years now. In this time period, I first lost 80lbs in about 8 months with no exercise whatsoever. Then I started lifting weights and I've put on about 15lbs of lean muscle. I am 46-year-old and in the best shape of my life. In addition, I am virtually immune to sunburn and I feel a ton of energy.

-I am a unique case of complex medical situation!
-This just happens to work for me for reasons I can't comprehend!

People will still take that information and interpret it in their own way. As an example, Trump never said ‘go and drink bleach,’ yet a number of Americans misconstrued his suggestions and did just that. If a public figure speaks on something they partake in, there is a risk that their followers will attempt to emulate them, regardless of the overall context.
Devorah:. We as a species have been eating almost exclusively the day and flesh of animals for *4.5 MILLION YEARS*.
The agricultural revolution was a blink in the evolutionary scale. And most of our chronic illnesses came about from this error (eating carbohydrates, particularly combining fats with those carbs)

@@rathesungod lol
@@rathesungod what are you on they at LOTS of fruits and vegetables yes they weren’t domesticated fruits and vegetables but nether is their meat back then.
@@SSStofu008 If the point is that his particular ancestors had an omnivore diet yes that is correct, however if the point is that all peoples traditionally ate that way I would disagree. Depends on climate - for example arctic peoples ate near 100% animal based diets. I personally don't ascribe to carnivore as a panacea - I think peoples ability or inability to digest plants/animls that has more to do with genetics and mostly intestinal integrity a la tight junction barriers and microbiome. Plus beyond domesticated plants (which is a key point) they are over fed macronutrients and simple mineral ions to the point of primary and secondary metabolic dysfunction - in that they are deficient in much of the nutrients and health promoting phytochemicals but also totally different secondary metabolite profiles which expressed as antinutrients and health reducing phytochemicals
Parts of this comment section are whack. Peterson never claimed expertise or advocated for ordinary people to do this diet and every ‘claim’ he made was buttressed with a disclaimer that he was not a dietician or nutritional expert. I understand Abbey’s intent to dissuade the public from inflating anecdotal accounts, but this was just a conversation between two people where someone shared their unique experience. Not a science lesson. Just a reminder not to make blanket statements based on popular opinion, guysss. Examine the source material and what was actually said ^^
Puufff
Peterson is very popular on his corner of the internet with some very devoted fans. As much as provided disclaimers, he spouts blatant misinformation which people could easily be influenced by, and that is important to address. Celebrities are constantly doing this - saying "this is just what worked for me" to negate blame when they know how the celebrity/influencer model works and people are likely to follow along with what they say. He should be more careful (and do more research) before he starts claiming definitive proof about things which aren't true/have no consensus as of yet.
Dental hygienist here…his periodontal disease was in no way eliminated by this diet. That’s not how it works. I treat perio regularly, and it was likely the scaling and root planning along w/ better home care that improved his gums…however…periodontal disease is not reversible. It can be stablized though.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Joe Rogan's podcasts are so damn long it becomes unfeasible to debunk everything they said wrong
@Jerrie Lynn Dental professional of 10yrs here. Yes, sugar plays a huge role in dental decay. I wouldn't argue that you'd experience less cavities while excluding things from your diet that are acidic and contain sugar. However, perio disease is not caused by sugar intake, but by lack of proper oral hygiene. When we're not flossing enough or brushing properly plaque hardens. Overtime your gum tissue and bone will start to oull away from it. It does not heal itself or improve without mechanical intervention. You may never need SRP again, but that doesn't mean the issue is corrected. With perio disease comes deep pockets and some bone loss. Perio maintenence is required because you're not able to clean those areas at home.
@@kristicarroll7659 great response!
ive been carnivore for 2.5 years, as far as my teeth go, what has changed is they are no longer loose in my gums, and they de plaque themselves... which I thought was my teeth crumbling until I saw the dentist, he said no, it was the plaque coming away from my teeth, I said whoa is that a thing? Then he explained plaque to me, apparently, we all get plaque no matter what we eat but if we eat sugar it hardens the plaque, because my sugar intake is very low ( I still have sugar in a coffee) the plaque comes off. yay! So the benefit of carnivore on youir teeth is pretty good.
Dentist here. Of course periodontal disease can improve if systemic inflammation is reduced.
I am carnivore. It is an anti inflammatory, human species specific diet. When u stop eating carnivore, my psoriasis comes back and my anxiety - full force. Loving this carnivore Lifestyle
Everyone is different. And encouraging a regular person that doesn't have autoimmune and/or inflammatory issues, to follow this type of eating, is very irresponsible. I know that if I eat too much beef, it fuxks my stomach up and if I eat a low carb diet, my kidneys HURT. I discovered a lot about how my body responds to it when I was a fighter cutting weight. To sum it all up, I am the healthiest and look/feel better when I am eating lots of chicken, eggs, oats, veggies, tuna, natural peanut butter, potatoes, rice...but that isn't for everyone.
@@melindaroop1346 there was one time I cut out almost entirely on carbs and my head felt awful.
@@melindaroop1346A balanced diet is scientifically the healthiest, extremist diets that encourage restrictive eating isn't good in the long-term
Honestly, I don't care. To each their own. I love the carnivore lifestyle (raw meat and fish and dairy+ some fruits) but it's not sustainable. So I just cut out most of the green stuff (leaves and cruciferous) and my bloating and stomach pains literally went away and I never felt so good.
Why is it not sustainable?
Why raw?
If u eating raw meat of course it's not sustainable 🤣
@@KR-jg7gc yes it. It completes the cycle of life ;)
@@glumberty1 Are you kidding? It's not sustainable financially for most people, environmentally, nutritionally, nor in terms of taste and living a normal life. I don't know many who'd want to live on nothing but animal products for the rest of their lives unless they absolutely had to for extreme health conditions, like Mikaela Peterson. And her diet is even more restrictive, because she just eats beef and salt and reportedly doesn't vary the proteins at all because she's so food intolerant.
I've never tried a carnivore diet, but I've had a lot of success with a low carb diet. It really sucks to see so much hate about it online lately. I think for many of us, it's been so empowering to feel like we have control over our symptoms.
And some might say that low carb is good if you have something wrong with you but the average person doesn't need to do it. But 50% of Americans are diabetic or pre-diabetic. I've actually never been diagnosed formally with prediabetes, but I've spent most of my adult life without health insurance and I don't have a regular doctor.
So in trying to treat my cystic acne and irregular cycle, I inadvertently treated my anxiety and depression. I had anxiety that would keep me up for hours every night with heart palpitations and a racing heart. I would experience feelings of rage and very dark thoughts. And by eating low carb, I completely got rid of my heart palpitations and started sleeping through the night. Yes it's anecdotal. But there's a lot of people who have had similar experiences.
I'm happy you have some relief. I lived with anxiety and depression for more than 10 years. I don't think it ever goes away, you learn how to manage it :) you found a good way to do that. I also follow a low carb diet. It's really beneficial even if you're just cutting refined carbs like cakes and candy. That is a scientific fact. I'm very skeptical of this new wave of obsessive thinking that takes shape in "carnivore" diets. It's not natural to only eat meat. People love to use the Inuits as an example but they are an exception to the rule. There might be genetic advantages that they have to eat that way. They live in a harsh climate where the only thing they can eat is meat. Low carb does get a lot of undeserved hate, but as a community we should stop giving credence to these extremist beliefs that all plant foods are toxic. It's simply unscientific, and that is why low carb is not widely respected.
He literally said the all beef diet was awful and "hell" and he in fact does not recommend it. The only reason he is on it is because so far its the only thing he and his daughter have found to alleviate their symptoms.
Agreed 💯
But Mikhaila has been going around promoting the carnivore diet.
@@miinfl7143 she does promote it but each single time she says clearly that she eats this way because the alternative is worse and she has autoimmune symptoms as soon as she introduces other foods.
I have been anxiously awaiting this. I have been carnivore for 4 years. It’s the best decision I have ever made. I do believe everyone should do what works for them and their body, because everyone is different. And I won’t spout of my opinion because everyone has one, but I do know that healthy people don’t make money. So people who profit off sick people, overweight people, chronically Ill people (people with SIBO), will always push an agenda which keeps people that way. I mean, how would anyone make money if we stop eating processed trash and fast food?
If we all went carnivore, we'd put people like Abbey out of business.
@@Kthomasritchie She is unwittingly part of the “sick care” industry that makes money from people’s continued misery.
@@Kthomasritchie And you are a fuxking idiot. Sorry to break it to you...not everyone can handle eating that way and human beings are not meant to. Me for example...I experimented with different types of eating when I was a fighter cutting weight and had to up my carb intake because it was fuxking my kidneys up.
I’m usually a huge fan of Abbey’s videos but this one misses the mark. If u watch the episode fully you can hear the strain in his voice as he talks about how he has absolutely no idea what caused his chronic pain and illness, and how the carnivore diet is the only thing that has made him able to function. He shares how his daughter was on her death bed as a teenager and this diet saved both of their lives. He acknowledges that it’s insane and probably not great for most people, but for whatever reason it’s given him his life back. I would have liked to see a little more compassion and a little less ranting about vitamin C.
I agree but I think she’s just warning people that this shouldn’t become a fad diet because it’s dangerous for most people
Boring? No. I’m 58, been carnivore for 5 years. It is not boring, it is not expensive. In fact I spend less than half the money on food that I used to spend when I bought fruit, vegetables and bread etc. In the past five years all my family, hubby 62, son 30, son 22 and daughter 20, have experienced improved health, mental clarity and physical stamina. We have all lost fat and gained important muscle.
Literally everything you said about red meat causing cancer, fat causing heart disease and protein causing kidney problems is false.
Fibre is not a nutrient and while there are essential fatty acids and essential amino acids there are *no* essential carbohydrates.
From my personal 4+ years of carnivore experience you are telling lots of fibs here. I think you would do well to do a 90 day Beef, Bacon, Butter & Eggs diet :)

So much misinformation in this video, it is sad to see. Please do your own analysis.
Abbey, I can offer my experience with the carnivore diet. I've tried it as an experiment to see if it helps my endometriosis (because literally nothing else worked so far). The diet made me feel the best I've ever felt. By a long shot. And I had been eating pretty healthy before that. It didn't help my endo but it did make my anxieaty disappear. And I didn't even know I HAD anxiety issues - I assumed everyone felt this way, that it was normal to be anxious alll the time. Only when it went away, I realised "oh, that was not normal". Now, after 2 years, I'm slowly easing back to more regular way of eating, simply because I miss variety.
A lot of thoughts on this one (that no one asked for :)) but I do think that while his daughter Mikayla definitely did need to go this extreme with her diet to avoid autoimmune symptoms that were killing her and disintegrating her joints, even she is trying to introduce more foods as her body has healed. And I always thought it a bit odd that Jordan followed suit in such an extreme way. I did the carnivore diet for about a year and it SAVED me from these absolutely insane and extreme diagnosis including fatty liver disease, leaky gut, passing out randomly, but I would never look at it as a permanent fix. We need a variety of foods for good health, and as soon as I could tolerate them I brought in more foods
I think if you listen to him speak in detail about the various physical and mental troubles he had been having in the years leading up to this, it would make a little more sense. You could listen to his most recent interview on Modern Wisdom if you're interested.
Because when you’re in pain physically and mentally and you see someone doing something that works, you try it because you’d be an idiot not to.
you would feel better on raw animal products and then you dont even want to eat anything else
Did you feel better when you added a variety of foods to your diet?
You can get all of the nutrition you need to live healthy from just eating carnivore, nose to tail. This idea that we need variety is unsubstantiated nonsense. The only reason some people want variety is because they get bored. But we do not "NEED" variety.
A disingenuous video. The man was explaining his personal experience and made no claims that this was the only way for everyone to eat. Your presentation seemed vitriolic and nitpicky.
Peterson also said in this same interview that eating this way long term would eventually “kill him.” He and his daughter have done this extreme diet from an extreme need to relieve extreme symptoms.
Love abbey but she has a way of cherry picking clips. Lol
Yeah, he’s actively told other people not to do this AND admitted he probably should have done a full elimination diet where he added stuff back in to deal with his symptoms and issues BUT he’s a hyper intellectual who was lazy and just saw that the meat thing would absolutely work with no grey area and that’s all he wanted.
He knows it’s stupid. If you look into a lot of people in this variety they are all smart dumb people😂
@Kait thank you!
@Kait you're so right it's almost like a by doesn't talk about her chronic sibo issues at all. She totally doesn't understand anything 🙄
Agreed. I'm really surprised by this video as the entire point of Peterson's diet is to relieve his mental and physical illness - because if he carried on with a 'normal diet he would be dead. This diet really saved his life and I'm so surprised that considering there is a big push on treating illness with nutrition that Abbey would rip it apart.
Dr Anthony Chaffee has excellent information about carnivore. Do your research! Swearing & rolling your eyes makes you appear ridiculous!
There’s a lot of people on TH-cam that do carnivore and are great sources of information steak and butter gal is a former vegan and went carnivore because her vegan diet took away her period she’s thriving. She interviews a lot of people in the community
Indeed. The Abby video in my opinion is laughable.
I developed a severe neurodegenerative illness (pretty much MS) at the beginning of this year and I’m only 27, but have had a few years of being vegan/vegetarian under my belt.
Anyways my health spiraled, went four months without sleeping or having a period. Developed neuropathy, swelling- veins bulging all over my body up to my chest.
In three months I reversed it all, including reversing depression and anxiety which was a pleasant suprise. It’s so easy for me to feel happy and hopeful now, just feeling so myself.
I realize it’s very hip and cool for people my age to hate anything Jordan Peterson says or does but it’s very misguided and not doing anyone any favors to be so narrow minded.
Most often it’s the things we’re most certain of we should be questioning when it comes to the nuances of health implications
You should do an interview on one of the carnivore channels.
Peterson has had a well-documented extreme battle with addiction to benzodiazepines and a refusal to get proper treatment. This is not to shame him, but this was simultaneously while he was claiming this diet cured him of all his ills but more importantly a very strict self-blame form of therapy advocated in his own work. He has a very different standard for how other people should treat their addictions and problems and how he treats himself. It's not that he should be ashamed or anyone should shame him for this addiction but given the mindset he advocates for and his own issues I do not consider him a credible source on this topic or nutrition.
He wasn't dealing with addiction. He was dealing with dependency. Two very different things. He was not abusing his benzo medication. He was taking it as prescribed and hit trouble withdrawing from it, which is very common. In fact, I provide peer support in groups that center around psych medication withdrawal, and this is a common occurrence. Doctors often take their patients off their benzos too fast, or they go into detox which is, again, too fast and traumatizing. This has left many, many people with long-term psych, neuro, and physical issues.

I would kill to see you try and explain that. You genuinely tried to say that because someone has had an addiction that means that any time they talk about a diet that has done them good they should be 100% discredited. Not even bothering to touch on how absolutely fucking insane and riddled with logical fallacies that is - you’re literally a TH-cam commentor. I can’t imagine the delusional narcissism it must take to think YOU’RE in any way more qualified than a man talking about a disease him and his daughter have and what they did that was successful in combating it.
This is why I can’t stand Abby and her audience, you all are the absolute epitome of pseudo-intellectualism on TH-cam. And you’re unnecessarily toxic like it’s a competition you’re striving to win.
You are not an expert on diets, addiction, or the disease Jordan Peterson and his daughter have suffered from. You’re a narcissistic pseudo-intellectual in a TH-cam comment section letting your hatred of Jordan Peterson cloud your ability to act like a functional human being.
Honestly, I feel bad for him because he seems cognitively altered by his illness. I was really hoping he would choose to retire after it, because it seemed very probable it would change him in a fundamental way-made him more on edge, more nervous, more brain fog, etc. he’s also getting on in years. Why ruin the beautiful legacy he had spent all his life to build, by a few slip-ups due to aging and sickness?
He's not endorsing the carnivore diet. He literally says when asked about it: I don't recommend this to anyone. He just talks about his experience.
She obviously doesn't know crap. Just was enough to look at her arguments about vitamin C. You DO GET vitamin C on a carnivore diet but the amount is LOW. The requirement for vitamin C just drop massively on low carb diets. Amazing how a "dietitian" doesn't really know this.
Here's the deal with Carnivore Diet as it relates to scurvy ...
1. Fresh meat does have Vit-C because the animal needed to have that, just like we do. Military organizations have known for centuries that you can cure scurvy in the troops by feeding them fresh meat, and it was the sailors who only ate ships biscuits that got scurvy, not the officers who also got dried meats (even dried it retains enough).
2. Meat doesn't have high levels of Vit-C like say fruit, but as carnivores, we also doesn't need to have such high levels, because the Vit-C and glucose compete for the same transport channels in our cells, so operating with no carbs means we have much better use of the available Vit-C.
3. One of the primary functions of Vit-C is in the synthesis of collagen (hence why the symptoms of scurvy are derived from a lack of collagen), but of course on a whole animal based diet, we're actually consuming collagen in much greater quantities than on a SAD diet, so there's much less demand for that function.
At 60yo, I've been carnivore for about 2 years now (keto for 3), and my collagen situation is doing just great (skin is in way better condition, gum health is great and dental issues non-existent), my previously high blood pressure is 120/80, my arthritis is gone, underactive thyroid is normal again, my pre-diabetes has reversed, I've lost 40Kg, fatty liver disease is gone, my mood is much improved, my energy and mental focus is way better, and best of all, I'm on zero medication.
In the balance of things, your snarky remarks don't stack up well against such actual results. I'd suggest doing more research.
I would say the main down-side is with social eating, but I get by - people don't seem to mind if you just eat the meat on your plate and leave the rest.
Abbey Sharp:
"Fiber is a nutrient"
🤣🤣🤣
Nutritionists are a joke to real science
According to Harvard School of Public Health, Fiber is a carbohydrate that the body can’t digest. You might as well eat a paper bag. You’ll get the same nutrition from it.
I know, like how can it be? Humans can’t even digest it
My father started the carnivore diet to address severe joint pain that wasn't getting better through traditional treatment methods before opting for surgery. Ever since starting it a few months ago, his joints are back to normal, his bloodwork looks great, he can finally exercise again, and his blood pressure is at a healthy level again after decades of extremely high blood pressure. I'm hesistant about the other health effects of the diet, however, so I'm glad to hear he said he will be phasing it out of his diet. He isn't sure if meat was the cause of this change, the elimination of added sugar, or something else. Hopefully the improvement in his joints and blood pressure stays with him after returning to a more normal diet!
It's a blessing for my arthritis too! And mood swings are much better as well.
Carnivore has been a life saver for me. I have Hashimoto's Thyroid disease and I am off medication. I eat all the bacon, butter and beef I want. It's very satisfying. I will be Carnivore for life. Dr. Ken Berry is a real doctor with real information on Carnivore. I wouldn't listen to this lady. She has no idea what she is talking about.
Is chronic suffer from do
Much inflammation that carnivore is ideal in that it’s very nutrient dense that helps the body heal and it’s usually higher in fat and that’s great for all the fat soluble vitamins. So many plants are hard to digest that it’s hard to get any benefit from them so by the time you decide to restrict usually it’s because of the chemicals pesticides and fertilizers used to grow the plants that we are so sensitive to. It’s a shame nobody addresses that ever and just tell us eat the veggies
@@michellelynnm1933 She is a fully qualified dietician, i.e. an expert in food who studied dietetics (nutrition) at undergrad and postgraduate level. My doctor and every honest doctor admits that dieticians know far more about nutrition than MDs (of course maybe your MD sought further education after he finished his MD, but I doubt it or he would brag about that instead of his MD)
@TH-cam Account And you do I'm guessing? People online will do anything to discredit professionals based off of their own personal stories and posts they saw on facebook, especially if they are women. Abbey cites all her studies and does a great job breaking down the information.
My ex tried to convince me to go carnivore despite knowing that I’m vegetarian and actively fighting an ED. It’s not why we broke up but it certainly did push me closer to that decision.
great decision since he did not give a sh*t about your health or your decision
he was just looking out for you. i was vegan for 6 years and i had so many health issues. I did lose weight but i was brittle. I stared looking at meat as a supplement and it helped tremendously
@@williamsantiago9284 every time you cut out categories of food you need to be aware of what you eat. doing it home made is not a good idea unless you really study the topic. they always say that vegan diet is healthy WHEN accurately planned. if it is not done properly of course you might feel weak or miss out nutrients, but I would not assume that this was her case
@@williamsantiago9284 he really wasn’t. I cut out meat because I don’t digest it well. I’m also working with a psychologist/nutritional therapist and a doctor but he tried to talk me out of trusting my healthcare team.
@@williamsantiago9284 Yes, veganism ruined my health. I eat mainly animal based and I feel a million times better. People need to stop being so damn dogmatic about diet. If you feel like utter shit, it's likely your diet, no matter how AmAzInG the health fanatics say it is.
Suffering from arthritis, this is the only way of eating that gives me total relief within days when i have a bad flare up! My issue with it is calming cravings!!
I usually go for a sugar free soda.
It might also be that you should increase either fat or protein.. you need to figure out for yourself which works for you.
Also, having a snack outside the 'diet' now and then won't kill you.
Eat beef you will stay satiated for longer periods.
It's surprising how many individuals don't seem to comprehend that just because an extreme diet makes them feel better and relieves the symptoms of another disease doesn't mean it's beneficial for them in the long term.
Oh god, THIS! His daughter was dying for Christ's sake! All they are asking is more studies in this! Not only that since every single time JP talks about it he talks about how horrible it is, how isolating, monotone, how he doesn't suggest it to anyone! And she belittled him all throughout her video. I'm so disappointed.
It's not a diet, it's a way of eating and there's nothing extreme about it. As far as disease goes, it put my type 2 diabetes in remission and brought my CAC score to 0. Also dropped my BP from the 150s into the 120s.
@@jbob7148 a way of eating is literally a diet, all humans eat some kind of diet, and it is in fact extreme, it is the most extreme and restrictive diet, it lacks fiber, phytonutrients, antioxidants, carbohydrates and some vitamins and minerals.
@@niken538 "...and it is in fact extreme" Tell that to the Inuit. It's only restrictive if you don't like what you eat. She starts off with bagging on a T-bone for lunch and a porterhouse for dinner, I only wish even buying grass fed beef at $6 per pound. It most certainly does lack carbohydrates which means no Randle cycle and exceptionally low triglycerides which means a healthy metabolism and circulatory system. As far as vitamins go beef liver has all of the nutrients your body needs to produce what it needs. Having been both a diet conscious vegetarian and now carnivore I can attest my health has never been better than from what I'm doing now and I have the blood work and numbers to prove it.
You realize the body metabolizes carbohydrates and fat differently. As a result a calorie is not a calorie as the body doesn't absorb all of the fat you ingest but it does take all most all of the carbohydrates you consume and turn them into triglycerides. Once you start getting into the science of Carnivore it makes a lot of sense but simple truth is the proof is in trying it for two weeks.
@@jbob7148 I don’t need to tell that to the Inuits because in fact they follow that same extreme diet due to their extreme environmental conditions, the unavailability of foods make their diet restricted, inadequate and incomplete due to the lack of the nutrients I already mentioned, I didn’t disregard that it can work for some people, but by no means this diet checks any mark for adequacy of healthy diets. The beef liver argument has been debunked in this video and many times, If you saw the video you would know the ridiculously low amount of ascorbic acid it contains, making it a non-source of vitamin C and other nutrients. That the Randle cycle doesn’t occur is in fact not true, it just occurs with the oxidation of fatty acids instead of glucose, so I don’t understand why you say suddenly our body gets rid of a metabolic function it has, it makes no sense. It is also worth mentioning that Inuits or other carnivore indigenous people as Masaais aren’t healthy even comparing to occidental populations, i.e. Inuits live ~10 years less than Canadians and have double a double fold increase in cardiovascular diseases.
Started the Lion Diet from the JP video you reference. Lost 20lbs first month, 10lbs second month. has been a net benfit for me overall. WTF do I care about how boring it is? I look better and Im healther overall despite whatever deficiencies it creates. JP wasn't on joe rogan to to talk about the diet, he was sharing a personal experience. You didn't mention chemical or hormones, chemicals sprayed on any foods whatsoever, their dangers to us, or how removing the foods covered with them would be a great health benifit. Very disingenuous reaction video Abby.
You could rename this video “Grown woman has a temper tantrum about how much she hates Jordan Peterson’s diet for 15 minutes straight.” For a dietician, you seem to have to curse a lot to make your point. No professionalism.
To be fair, Jordan Peterson explicitly states that he does not recommend this diet to anyone. He only does this because he and his daughter have suffered from auto immune disease and he has found it helps him manage his symptoms.
Hmm if he wasn’t promoting this diet, why would he be on a podcast touting all the incredible benefits? That disclaimer feels like very thin lip service.
@@abbymyers5072 because this is something different about him and he got asked? This is Joe Rogan podcast. They are usually 2-4 hours long. How much of that have you seen in those clips here? And basically on one hand he does not recommend it but on the other he knows at least two chronically ill people who found help in it.
It is kind of: when you tried to do everything to get better, nothing worked and you are completely hopeless then, here, this might be the last resort worth of taking chance on.
It is cool to think about it all and critisize it as mostly healthy person. I get sick of being sick after two weeks. He and his daughter experienced ilnesses affecting they’re lives in major way, especially daughter. Like basically having almost no life outside of ilness.
I guarantee: you would do even more than this diet if you would be in her position.
@@abbymyers5072 he's sharing his experience. he's not promoting anything lol.
While I sympathize with the health challenges that brought about this extreme diet (arthritis for Mikhaila and depression for Jordan), I can also criticize his choice to promote it given the inherent dangers of such a restricted and imbalanced way of eating. Joe Rogan brought him on as a guest to talk about this diet, which Mikhaila has been promoting/monetizing through her blog. Interestingly enough neither of them still follow this way of eating, which is rather telling. The diet itself is not backed by research so what likely helped these folks was not the magic of beef but the placebo effect. Jordan Peterson is a self-important, fascist so his diet and his scummy promotion of it is but one of his many detractors.
@@abbymyers5072 what in his views is facist? His main goal is to teach people about worth of taking responsibility in life. He is also quite educated in both facism and communism (which people in West generally don’t understand at all, and I am talking about it as tourguide from post communist country that does communism tours for westerners).
You need to not know anything about him beside some clips to come to that conclusion. You are literally proving by this comment that you didn’t watch him: you were searching what could be misrepresented in his statements.
Also he clearly stated he is not recommending it. And when Mikhaila discussed it at Oxford Union, she supported it with researches, and basically just said that it should be discussed, as there are people who could get help in this. This diet is for desperate needs, but desperate needs call for desperate solutions.
For analogy: are people who e.g. after SA, came back to functioning in their sexuality by very pathological behaviours, and share it later on as „this was my experience and my way of dealing” promoting pathological sexual behaviours?
While I agree with you about the ridiculousness of this diet, I don't understand the need to demonize all red meat. I grew up in a family of hunters, we've always eaten a diet consisting of a high amount of venison. Yes it's red meat, but incredibly lean and healthy.
It isn't demonising, it's talking about the facts with the studies (or lack of, as a form of evidence in itself) to back it up. Your personal family history does not equate to the truth. Hunting wild has its own benefits, meat varies in quality across the world and depending on food standards per country. But the science does indicate that red meat can aggravate health conditions, including cancer, and people should keep this in mind.
@TH-cam Account Yes it does. This isn't about clickbait articles but actual recommendations from health organisations (NHS, WHO) about red meat consumption. Are you implying that they are all misrepresenting the facts? A simple google churns up studies and reviews of studies by A. Wolk, Sabine Rohermann, Evelyne Battaglia Richi & et al., Xia Wang et al, Kyuwoong Kim et al. There are studies which also recommend a reassessment of the impacts of red meat in specifically low quantities (aka its okay in smaller quantities). Much more work is needed in the field, but it isn't disingenuous to imply that studies point toward red meat aggravating health conditions, especially in larger quantities.
@TH-cam Account Why should I read the studies when you clearly haven't? What nugget of truth is hiding in the pages of the study which suggests that the conclusions which they made at the end of the study aren't what the study actually meant? Seriously, the logic is laughable. The NHS and WHO website have remained up to date about the pandemic, they haven't exactly mishandled it like governments who have chosen not to follow scientific advice have (which has led to more lockdowns, deaths etc.)
@TH-cam Account And I have read plenty of studies, I just can't cite them right now because I don't the info for my specific ones to hand. I was just stating that this isn't just some tinhat anti red meat conspiracy by journos but an area of study which is evident from a preliminary google search. What studies do you have which are worth a read? Can you do me a summary of some key ones I should look into?
Fatty red meat is not only healthier than lean, but it's essential. Look up "rabbit starvation" to find out what happens when your protein intake is higher than your saturated fat intake.
I've been eating carnivore for almost 2.5 years and I love how my joints feel at age 62! I'm not going back to the STANDARD AMERICAN DIET!
Or veganism, or omnivorism, or the like. I am with you, Karen.
@@kateaye3506 amen to that!
I'm sorry but lol. of course your name is karen
I'm on day 2 of the carnivore diet and i already feel my health returning. Inflammation is way down and a cystic lesion that I've had on my face for weeks has healed more quickly in the past 48 hours than it has since it cropped up a few weeks ago, and it is no longer causing me pain. The cysts that were just below my skin, threatening to surface, have already DISAPPEARED. If you are suffering AT ALL, please do not listen to this woman and try it for yourself.
I love a burger or steak sometimes, but if all I consumed were beef, salt, and water, I'd be struggling to choke down one meal a day after a while. I'm not surprised at all that he lost so much weight.
Me too!
Sorry I eat carnivore as well, have experienced all of the same benefits jordan describes and have no issues eating everyday. The less junk you eat, the less you want it.
@@alliedunnett8639 fruit and vegetables are junk now?
Honestly yeah same. Once my family and I were vacationing in Morraco and for over two weeks all we had were grilled meats like EVERY SINGLE DAY. After a while, we started getting and sick and tired of it haha; also my mom started getting a headache. Anyway, when we came back from our vacation, we didn’t cook meat for like a month! (And this is coming from huge meat lovers)
@TH-cam Account I'm 5'5" and 127 pounds in this photo. What the fuck are you talking about?
These videos are driving me crazy. Are the Petersons dead? Do they have scurvy? “wHaT dOeS tHe ScIeNcE sAy?” lived experience is literally all that matters when it comes to individual diets. If this works for people, let them eat this way.
I have chronic, neurological Lyme disease and if I eat dairy, gluten, sugar or processed food I can end up in bed for days.
If I have a busy day I don’t eat as much because I will get brain fog and become very tired. Digestion takes so much energy and my body is trying to deal with all of the other issues so sometimes digesting food is the last thing it needs to be dealing with. I developed terrible, itchy rashes from eating fruits because of the sugar.
My point to all of this is that until you have a chronic, inflammatory condition maybe we shouldn’t be so judgemental on what other people do in order to keep going every day.
He didn’t do this diet to lose weight and neither did his daughter who had major health issues since she was a child. If they feel better and can function better then good on them.
People make fun of the way I eat and while I would love to eat the things that nutritionists say we need in our diet (gluten, dairy and fruit), I would be in agony. I went from not being able to work for two years to being able to clear up many of my physical symptoms from mainly changing my diet.
And that is my two cents.
He had no point pointing out how much he lost in the first ten seconds though
Inuit diets are far far more diverse than this, like incomparably more diverse and historically were really not restrictive at all. Both historically and today Inuit diets include a variety of fish, other seafood, and a variety of types of meat from a variety of marine mammals. Meat from these marine mammals also have a completely different nutrient profile than beef, including more nutrients including vitamin c, particularly when you include the blubber, skin and organ meats which are some of the most common foods and also considered highly nutritious delicacies. Inuit have also both historically and today eat a variety of high nutrient density vegetarian foods such as a variety of seasonal greens and berries. While these are more common at certain times of the year, berries in particular are surprisingly preservable, so would have even historically been eaten for much of the year. We see similar diets among Scandinavians and the indigenous Sami people of Russia and Scandinavia, and though at certain points in the year they rely heavily on meat, they still have very diverse diets even at the coldest time of year.
IIRC, marine mammals also contain some glycogen in their meat, meaning that the Inuits weren’t eating pure protein and fat when they ate these animals anyway.
Almost all of the tribes/societies that modern carnivore dieters tout as being carnivorous do include some plant foods, and/or eat animals/animal parts that modern dieters do not. You cannot compare the Maasai diet (which includes raw milk and cow blood) to a modern carnivore dieter eating nothing but steak and say, “See! The Maasai eat carnivore too so it’s healthy!” The diets are not comparable. But they do it anyway.
@@faunivore9485 interestingly we don’t need to ingest glucose or glycogen. Our livers make it easily.
@@heidikindon5182 Yikes. It's so cringey to watch people spouting this stuff from the other side.
@@faunivore9485 It’s crazy inducing. I would rather follow ‘anecdotal’ evidence that I have tried and actually works than a thousand studies about what ‘should’ work and never does.
@@faunivore9485 “this stuff” meaning facts?
Get your facts straight Abbey, why don’t you get to know why he & his daughter chose that diet!!!! “Don’t judge lest u be judge!” Everyone is different, thank the Lord!! You may be preventing someone’s way to a painless lifestyle! Don’t forget him, you may need him in the future!!!
His daughter has talked about how she and also he have the gene for coeliac disease, and this kind of radical exclusion diet would obviously be good for that because of having no gluten! It's totally unnecessary to go that far, certainly long term.
From what I have read, neither of them are even still on the carnivore diet
Actually, she’s gone into a lot of detail into how she had tried to reintroduce foods multiple times and just couldn’t because she’d be sick for weeks. Like, couldn’t function sick. Like… sores all over her body that wouldn’t heal sick.
I have celiac disease and it is so important to make sure you have vital nutrients (fruits, veggies, grains) because celiac can make you extremely malnourished!
@@jessicaa3641 I thought she still is
Radical exclusion diets are absolutely unnecessary and often dangerous for coeliacs. We already struggle with malabsorption, so cutting out foods beyond just gluten can lead to severe deficiencies. Since they have the gene but its not triggered, it's not even necessary to cut gluten out at this stage - doing what they're doing could even trigger it.
It would be hypocrisy for anyone in the wellness culture to comment on this (meat only) way of eating given they spend endless hours telling you how rich in vitamins and nutrients their food choices are yet shovelling down handfuls of vitamins, supplements and powders! They all come under the same banner an ED.
Most of us never take any supplements. Bit of salt and potassium in my water when I go for a long run is the closest I get.
@@Laura-q2k6p : Which is an ED all in itself👍
And the fact that its before anything an 'environmental' movement, and its trying so hard to convince of its health superiority.
I cant imagine eating plants only, empty unsatisfying food.
The carnivore turned my life around. I’ll never go back to your way of eating. I eat for 10$ a day. I lost 20 pounds. Blood pressure down from 140/100 to 110/80. Normalized blood sugar. My gut is so much better as well. No fiber equals one BM every 2-3 days. No farting. My joints got better. Every time I had a bolus of carbs my hands would swell and become painful. Decreased inflammation big time. I don’t have to think about what I’m having…as long as it’s animal based. People talk about it being boring…..that simply reflects their poor relationship with food. I think of food as sustenance only….it’s not an event that I’m concerned with. You talk about gut microbes. I have no issues with digestion. You talked about being satiated on carnivore. Perhaps it could be your getting everything you need in the diet and your body is simply able to digest the bioavailability of meat. I tried your methods…all I did was fart and defecate multiple times a day. I think Peterson probably tried yours as well…it didn’t work apparently. You seem to think weight isn’t an issue. Weight to height ratio is pegged to metabolic disease….I can’t believe you said that. The studies you cited are highly suspect as the participants probably also had carbs and fiber along with the meat they consumed during the study. As far as saturated fat, when also simultaneously mix carbs in the meal you activate the Randle Cycle. You mix energy calories like that in the diet leads to large amount of inflammation. How does meat displace fiber??? Can you digest and properly extract the vitamins and nutrients from the plants you take in???Or do you have to grind them into a fine dust or make smoothies to get the nutrients? You don’t need vitamin C on an all meat diet. But sure better supplement for C on your way of eating because your diet is highly inflammatory. I’ve been carnivore for 5 years now….no scurvy. My diet is about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of meat per day along with some eggs. With the fat that’s plenty for my 185 pound frame. Jacked and tan at 51. There are a lot of converted vegans who had their moods and mental health greatly improved by ditching the plants. Carnivore is not keto due to the gluconeogenesis with amino acids.
This video is fake news.
🙌🏻♥️
I tried the Abby Sharp diet and guess what my Diabetes came back like fire within two weeks...the I returned to Carnivore again and guess what...my diabetes is gone. Human cant digest fiber , and so far these "dieticians " have caused me to end up on more medications and end up in hospital with Pancreatitis. So far Carnivore is the only thing that works.
Was carnivore for a while keto now. It was great I stopped feeling hungry and my blood sugar stopped going to extremes. Carnivore
Is not just beef it’s animal based so that includes eggs dairy fish shellfish chicken lamb pork turkey and a lot more. I found that my skin cleared up my joints aches less the inflammation went away and I wasn’t ravenous. Careful with your recommendations to people since you have your own issues that being an expert isn’t solving.
Please don't think the actual carnivore diet is just steak, it's a nose to tail diet from all animals including seafood and all animal products.
Every thing he talked about worked for me. The results started in days for me. If it makes a person feel better they will live better and should live longer. My grandmother Past at 64, she was very good about eating vegies. And out of 10 kids all the others lived into their 80s 90s and one 102.
I have to say I lost a good chunk of respect for Abbey's channel after watching this. I'm very familiar with JP's work & his and his daughter's lifetime struggles with autoimmune diseases and I listened to this particular podcast episode several times. I can't help thinking Abbey either completely misunderstood it or she's just jumping on a cheap click bait wagon using Rogan's and Peterson's name. I've never heard JP recommending this diet to anyone so I don't understand why she treats the subject as such. If this was a video on keto / carnivore diets in general - great stuff. However, this is a story of an individual who clearly doesn't sit in the middle ranges of most research spectra and despite the odds managed to find an approach that improved the quality of his life, and again - not pushing it on anyone else so why the nagging? What really got me is when she suggested his improvement might be down to placebo - yeah, try to beat a clinical psychologist at his game...
she ignored the whole story indeed. its obvious that she did that deliberately because SHE HAS AN AGENDA TO PUSH(doesnt like carnivore).
also, despite being not that old, she doesnt seem all that healthy to me. i know someone older who looks much better than her. hmm.. diet probably makes a big difference here..
I am happy and thriving on a diet of fruit, veggies, carbs, dairy, meat & fish, legumes, nuts, fats of all types, and sugar. I highly recommend it.
Not everyone is so lucky. People with autoimmune problems have reactions to certain food.
The only one who can do a carnivore diet and get away with it is Ron Swanson.
I'm sorry but if I can't ever have a chocolate croissant or coffee I don't think I could do it. It's why I can't go keto. This is even worse.
@TH-cam Account BMI isn’t reliable or relevant
Even on keto you can still have treats. I drink coffee on keto and lots of people do.
@@heidikindon5182 I don't support keto but I never understood the whole "No coffee" thing being spread around. I have heard some people that follow these types of diets say it. I've been drinking coffee for over 18 years with no side effects, but I also don't have a sensitivity to caffeine or coffee in general.
I never thought anything of eating this way(do what you wanna' do), until my husband's friend had a heart attack and died. He started this diet to lose a large amount of weight(60+ lbs.), because he saw it touted on YT. He worked out every day and was pretty jacked. He ate/lived like this for a year. He was also dead by his 40th birthday. He went from "I feel great" to "I don't feel so good" to deceased in about 48 hours. Eating in this extreme way, is no way to live, no matter what someone's "success" might look like.
Heart disease takes decades. 1 year of any diet wouldn't be enough to kill you but the damage done in the preceding 39 years probably was.
Perhaps the damage was already done.
Meat heals! Carnivore cures!
Yeah… nice try. Sorry Abbey, I’m not for fad diets. Don’t really give two shits. Jordan is a fucking beast when it comes to facts,common sense. If he wants to eat meat, let him!
I'm on the carnivore diet. Within 4 days my autoimmune symptoms were at bay and I stopped bleeding from my bum (soz). The bleeding dropped my iron levels which quickly returned to normal. Teeth are whiter and stronger, skin cleared up, I'm much slimmer, energy for days, Bipolar and BPD non existent, chronic idiopathic pruritus is gone, androgenetic alopecia stalled, regular daily bowel movements are normal. List goes on. The best I've ever felt in my entire life.
Scurvy free.
I appreciate your opinion but perhaps don't knock it til you've tried it. Science is against you here.
It's about symbolism of masculinity more than anything, esp with the name "the lion diet..." i do have a problem with his categorization of masculinity as order & femininity as chaos & heralding order/masculinity above everything. He has such a bizarre worldview & way of living which would be okay if he was just an individual & wasn't trying to influence anybody. & to hear him mention his weight loss is concerning, while I think you can't tell somebody's weight by looking at them there is a certain point where you become visibly underweight & he definitely is.
He didn't name it the lion diet. Since a woman coined it, I doubt it has anything to do with masculinity
@@treasureeilyn well that woman is his daughter who he is very close to (to the point of adopting her insane diet) so she probably believes similar things to him

One side note..I recall the episode of JR where Jordan’s daughter is on. She goes into great detail about the grueling journey she went on to discover what her body could tolerate, as she seems to have the same gut issues as her father. She tried so many foods/diets, and suffered chronic diarrhea and, interestingly, depression. I didn’t listen to this episode, but I think the Petersons have a strange genetic gut allergy/intolerance.
The depression isn't interesting considering JP has said multiple times that depression runs very horribly in his family.
Yep! When I was listening to her talk about it, I was thinking that they have some serious genetic autoimmune issues.
According to them.
Check out Ken Berry and his wife Neisha. He’s carnivore and she’s ketovore. Claims it cured Hashimotos.
You can't cure hashimotos so they are definitely dumb. Like no sane person makes claims like that
Love love love Dr Berry
His wife cured her infertility though diet she’s now pregnant with their second child
Yea and many people who do keto/carnivore say the opposite - they were diagnosed with Hashimotos or it worsened it.
@@SuperSarahbop I also reversed my PCOS and hypothyroidism with ketovore and I'm naturally pregnant after many years of infertility.
Its phenomenal - and it makes your channel pointless. That is why you are against it.
She’s a hack who criticizes the way other people eat yet her own eating does not fix her health problems
He might have 'solved' the main issue at hand, but in the long term, depriving himself from other nutrients from the other food groups will create a new world of other issues in the long run.
No, because meat is a complete food, although you must eat a little bit raw to get vitamin C, like the Eskimos did. You are ignorant if you think plant foods have special nutrients not found in meat.
@@Michelle-Eden Your same argument applies to meat: it doesn't have a magical nutrient that covers all benefits from ALL food groups.
@@priscilabee583 You said, "depriving himself from other nutrients from the other food groups". And I called BS. Because it is BS.
@@Michelle-Eden first of all, meat isn't a "complete food", you would have known if you watched the video. Second of all, it's the inuit population, not Eskimo.
@@cerineko7984 Alaskan and Greenland tribes are OK with Eskimo, Canadians prefer Inuit. Jesus, stop virtue signalling. Secondly, in terms of nutrients needed for humans to thrive yes, fatty red meat is a complete food. There is NOTHING humans need for optimum health not found in it. If I am wrong, then please name the essential nutrient that is not found in red meat.
Dont listen to this woman, she has no idea. Ive actually tried a meat only diet and it was nothing short of amazing.
Also when people say “don’t you get bored eating that?” Its like ok I didn’t know we eat for entertainment now but makes sense. I’d say unless you’ve tried carnivore for at least 2-4 weeks your opinion of it means little to the thousands of personal testimonies of those (like me) who got themselves off of all their medications and supplements and saw a complete 180 in their health and well-being. It’s the best decision I ever made for my health
🙌🏻 Same! I say give it 60-90 days, her SIBO and Anxiety would be poof…gone.
My digestion, mental health, blood sugars and blood pressure have never been this good in my life! It’s insane.
Uh yeah, food has always been a part of culture, and human beings also eat for enjoyment, comfort, and human connection, not just fuel. I feel badly for you if you haven't experienced that.
And it's great if the diet works for you, but that doesn't make it right for everyone. I'd also really like to hear some carnivore diet testimonies from people who don't have a million health problems.
@@theprousteffect9717 I don’t know any Carnivores who haven’t experienced that? I was your typical FOODIE, actually up a level from that, an avid and very good cook who threw tons of very impressive parties and theme dinners. That’s what people don’t get UNTIL they become Carnivore- you don’t miss that aspect because you have zero cravings and are so ridiculously satiated by the saturated fat and that’s all your body craves.
My husband (who was addicted to pasta and donuts lol and who would always overeat, and who had very little health problems compared to me, LOVES this way of eating! It’s crazy still to me. He’s lost nearly 30 lbs and got rid of an anger issue he had. He tells everyone it’s the best diet because you’re never hungry and you get to eat meat all the time and he is never tempted by anything he used to love. We are going on 7 months. 🙌🏻
It’s definitely the craziest sounding thing until you do it!
where are you getting your numbers on the amount of vitamin c in beef liver? 85 grams (3 ounces) provide 20 mg of vit c ....
also, that vitamin c is easily bioavailable, and come with other anti oxidants too like taurine, uric acid, and purines(not really an anti oxidant but is used to make uric acid. theres also glutamine, glycine, and cystine which are used to make glutathione the master anti oxidant. we dont even need to eat liver or something. just muscle meat that is not overcooked is adequate.
this anti-carnivore influencer doesnt look so healthy to me. i think shes on the wrong diet. us carnivores are much healthier.
This woman is incredibly disingenuous and/or doesn’t actually understand how to interpret the studies.. She would never have the balls to debate someone like Professor Bart Kay. Any half-assed attempt at (failed) rebuttal she makes you can clearly see she’s reading from articles on the screen while not actually understanding them. There’s the fact vitamin C is available in meats & isn’t needed in as much abundance in the absence of carbohydrates due to the fact vitamin C competes with glucose for uptake in the body.
It’s a hard pass for me, too. I like being able to poo on a daily basis.
Totally!
Trust me if the only poo you have is diarrhea you end up looking forward to having a quick and tiny daily poop. My poops where fantastic on carnivore
You definitely still poop every day on carnivore lol I dont know how she is so certain of this being she’s never tried the diet
Jordan Peterson telling his anecdotal experience sounding way for convincing than you annoying responses. Your approach sounds like you don’t know what you’re talking about. Jordan sounded much more educated in his reasoning than you did in your rebuttal. I think I’m going to put down my banana and go have a steak now
All the people who've fixed / reversed SERIOUS chronic illness through a carnivore diet ;
"Ima ignore this"
From the time that I was a very young child, I was a carnivor, with a very small, select of vegetables and a very few fruits. And then fresh raw milk and cream, butter, and farm fresh eggs. All fresh from the farm or forest. And I have been healthy my whole life, so far. I am never sick, hardly never get a cold or flu. Never bloated, never constipated. Strong teeth. Meat also keeps me from feeling hungry, for many hours, before it's time for another meal. I don't have the need for snacks. Always have lots of energy. And other people in my family, are the same. I have Grand parents in their 80s and 90s. Never in the hospital. Strong, still living active lives. No diseases. So, I see no reason, to ever change. Humans evolved, eating mostly meat. It is natural for humans.
WHAT? I can't believe that Jordan Peterson says that Vitamin C is unnecessary. Has he ever heard of scurvy?
Getting enough Vitamin C should be easy. Many fruits and vegetables have at least some, and a few are extremely rich in this nutrient. I've used Cronometer on a few select days to spot check my diet, and I can easily consume 200 to 400 mg per day from food, compared to the RDA of 90 mg.
Meat contains vitamin C. If you eat it raw or lightly cooked, you'll get enough. The more starch and sugar you eat, the more vitamin C you need to process it.
@@SuzanneU Or at any rate connective tissue contains vitamin C. And companies don't bother to clean it off the meat because it's utterly pointless to do so and it doesn't affect the taste of the meat. So if you eat meat and it isn't well-done, you're going to get connective tissue - and the vitamin C trapped in it - along with the meat.
I use lemon on my food so often, I can't miss vitamin c!
I think he means that you can get it through meat, and eating carnivore your needs of vitamin C will be much lower acctually
Scurvy doesn't happen to people eating ruminant meats. It happened to people at sea who only ate fish for months.
Both fresh meat and organs contain vitamin C
The need for Vitamin C goes down with reduced carb intake because they compete for uptake. A diet rich in meat and organs are full of collagen that the body can use. Vitamin C only increase uptake of non heme iron in plants. That's not needed for heme iron which already have a high uptake.
This is exactly why people find "cleanses" and "detoxing" so beneficial. It's less about what you reduce your diet to than the fact that you reduce it to a few essentials that you aren't sensitive to. They sort of do what they advertize- give your body a rest- for some of the reasons that the people pushing them tend to use- that what you eat regularly is messing with your body somehow- but they tend to add a lot of BS along with those core truths. Still, it's easier to just go back on the detox or cleanse for a while than figure out which specific foods give you problems. As someone who hates getting new glasses and playing the "which is better" game, I'm betting that most people find it nearly impossible to add back foods deliberately and slowly enough to identify all their trigger foods.
Meat only diet? It is kinda wierd bc meat is usually served with veggies or grains
(Chicken and rice dishes, garnishes on steak plate, Barbeque with pickled vegitables, etc..)
+)And since I am Korean.. whenever I eat some kind of meat, fish.. or even tofu I feel that urge to have that kimchi...
Eat to your heart's content. 😁
When ever I eat meat I really urge to eat fruit like bananas and berries
I think a lot of people who think some crazy diet is benefitting them think so because the diet excludes certain bad stuff that reasonable diets also exclude like junk food or other high-calorie foods. A macrobiotic diet cuts out sugar, caffeine and red meat which is great but it also cuts out almost all other food as well.
I believe so much of the success that comes from the carnivore diet is mainly about what you're not eating.. i.e. sugars and processed junk , and not so much about the meat you're eating. Fasting goes a long way on its own as well.. which seems like happens on this carnivore diet because the meat takes so long to digest which leads to less meals. Just my 2 cents..🤷♂️✌️
he never endorsed it.
This discussion is super important and interesting, but I wish the Petersons' reasons for this diet were better laid out in this video, because it makes it seem like they decided to go for it for no reason. Mikhaila's videos would have been more interesting to analyze because she goes into details of the origins of this diet for her and her father.
He was positively influenced when his daughter started thriving on an even more extreme form of carnivore diet that’s called the lion diet
I'm fairly certain Abby used his names for clicks only.
There's a reason why potatoes gained so much popularity around the world; they prevented sailers from getting scurvy, as they don't get bad quickly & have vitamin c.
My love for potatoes compels me to say that I bet there were other reasons, too. They’re satiating, wildly versatile, relatively easy to cultivate, nourishing, yummy, come in many varieties and can be cultivated to form new varieties, and, yes, they’re durable.
The reason sailors got scurvy is because all the meat they brought onboard had to be salted for preservation.
Nobody who eats fresh meat gets scurvy. For most of human existence, citrus fruits and potatoes were unavailable, especially during the Ice Age, yet humans thrived for tens of thousands of years on a carnivore diet. No fruits. No veggies. And no scurvy.
Potatoes and beets on a daily basis unfortunately drove me into neurodegeneration
@@AbiGodinhaNot to mention that potatoes can be cooked in so many ways.
I could never eat this way. I’ve done Atkins and keto, and the constipation was a huge problem. And I craved bread. I don’t even like bread that much. Today I’m WFPB and there is never any issue in the bathroom! Thanks for telling it like it is!
Wfpb? What does that mean?
@@Hat65 thanks so much!!!! I'm terrible with acronyms.
That's just another eating disorder
If you get constipated on Keto/Carnivore, it's too little fat, practically every time.
Utter nonsense.
No one gets constipated when they remove fibre from food.
Firbe causes constipation.
This person probably thought if they don't shit 2kg worth of shit they're constipated.
Fibre makes the stool big, bulky and it scratches your anus. Not a benefit.
I disagree! I'm nearly 50....done every diet to try to heal my many issues....none worked accept Carnivore. I have been Carnivore for a year. Healthiest I've ever been in my life. Healed my severe asthma, fibromyalgia and joint pain and gone down 3 dress sizes. This woman is just spouting the poor education she was given. So smug....yet so clueless. Not boring... beef salt and water....honestly makes you feel so amazing....that it is so doable and not boring. I love the way I eat....So NOT expensive either. You fine ways to buy meat in bulk cheap. My grocery bill has gone down over $100 a week because I'm not buying all the junk and veges. My waste has gone down as well. Everything I buy gets eaten. No waste. Less plastic....Honestly if we all went carnivore we would save our planet.
Interesting how every single comment from a "carnivore" is incredibly rude, insulting, spouts incorrect or unfounded information, and devalues a registered dietitian's credentials. You folks sound a lot like defensive, obnoxious, ranty, ill-informed vegans. If your diet works for you, that's great, but it doesn't mean it's the diet that the vast majority of nutritional studies support or that everyone should go on it.
@@theprousteffect9717 I listened to what your spouting for years and where did it get me!?....Fat and sick. The reason so many are speaking out so passionately ( or ranting by your opinion🥴) is we have woken up to the lies. I followed dieticians advice and spent a lot of money and got nowhere. In the end I did my own research, found doctors who are living proof it works and are standing against the system which you have bought into that is so corrupt. It is not about health it is always about money first. Seems like you need little more meat in your diet.....might be able to cope with the insults and offenses a little easier. Its called the Carnivore calm. Its a real thing. You read my comment and completely overlooked all the things this way of eating has fixed in my life to just criticize my opinion....see how easy it is to get distracted and miss the truth. Healed by meat....its a fact. Not an opinion.
I was on the carnivore diet for several months. I've been on a lot of different diets, but this was the first one that produced dramatic results in all areas of my health. All of my yearly blood work either stayed the same or significantly improved. It was also by far the easiest to stick to. Nutrition science, after passing through filters of bureaucrats, activist pundits, corporate marketing and worst of all: journalists, has been a joke for decades. If I could afford it, I'd stay on the carnivore diet indefinitely, like more and more people are doing to finally get into good health.
You clearly don't understand how science works. Nutritional science is not a "joke." Maybe read some actual peer-reviewed literature, instead of getting your information from pop culture and random opinion pieces.
Ehhhhh Abby your math on the daily caloric intake is wrong for the price. It isn't just steak but any kind of animal meat. A really common source for those on the carnivore diet is Liver which is pretty damn cheap and Ground meats which isn't the cheapest but does get you pretty close to your needs fast. But yes it is expensive overall but there are ways to mitigate it.
Liver mixed with ground beef is bangin. I’m not strict I allow seasonings
Jordan Peterson has said that he can’t endorse or recommend this diet because he doesn’t know why it works for him. He says that he has found that it has led to his symptoms for his autoimmune disease to go away, not that this diet will necessarily have the same effect on others. I think this video kind of misrepresents what he says
It really does misrepresent it
I don’t particularly care how he decides to eat. I DO care a lot about his touting it to other, vulnerable people who don’t know how to call bullshit on him. Both those men are dangerous, Peterson and Rogan, I mean.
Yup!
Agreed
Dare you to watch the original video. Let's see if you can and not rescind your comment. He says not to try it and that he isn't an expert pretty much every other sentence. Abbey edited it to remove all his disclaimers.
I started this diet because my girlfriend said so. I'm glad I did!!! I had been out of the gym with joint pain for NINE MONTHS!!! Within 2 weeks of eating this way my joint pain was GONE! I'm back in the gym now lifting with no pain and no stiffness in my joints. My blood pressure has gone down significantly as well. You don't need fiber that is "marketing by the cereal companies" You should NOT watch Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson. I suggest Dr. Berry to learn about Carnivore.
No offense ...BUT ..may I trust an dietician who has health issues?
Supposing that you eat the way you recommend...and you still have so bad health issues...I don't know if it's a good idea in general ,to follow an advice.
Maybe...just maybe...you should consider to give at least a try to the carnivore way of eating.From what I understood...the way you eat now,doesn't serve you too well.
And maybe...just MAYBE..not all the things that are written in the books and learned to get a degree,are the best to follow.
Good luck.
My sister-in-law has been on the carnivore diet for about 6 months now. Her autoimmunity issues have significantly reduced. Her current ANA panels show this change. Point is: If the diet improves the overall health of someone, why are you so against it? Isn't that the point? Living healthier more balanced lives.
I don’t think she’s against it. I think she’s against going on the biggest podcast in the world to advertise one very specific diet as a miracle curall
I wonder though, does the carnivore diet cure autoimmune issues? Or do the symptoms subside because there is nothing left to trigger them? Because in the last case, you're not really solving them problem, but you are depriving yourself from important micronutrients. This is not a judgement, just a genuine question as I don't know the mechanism behind it.
Only six months. A long term lifestyle is something else entirely. Nothing about eating only beef is healthy or well balanced.
I'm more inclined to believe that the carnivore diet 'worked' because it is a sort of elimination diet, therefore, whatever triggering food that may have caused or aggravated the autoimmune issues were removed. I recognize it may be difficult to do an elimination diet to figure out the actual aggravating food, it is worth it in my opinion considering how nutrient deficient the carnivore diet is, which i believe in the long term will cause it's own issues.
@@aoudazbidat6611 this is a great point. People don't seem to consider that just because symptoms improve on an extreme diet doesn't mean they're ultimately being healthy in the long run. You can have some symptoms diminished from certain problems while setting yourself up for some real damage to your body long-term.
