@@echopeakbicycling85 take a slice of bread. Squeeze it repeatedly in your hand, for about 5 minutes. What happens? Now imagine that in your colon? Constipation is caused by carbs gumming up the works so to speak. Meat is so thoroughly digested it doesn't even make it that far. There is no essential carb. You don't need a shred of fiber. Everything you need can be obtained easily from decent quality ruminant meat.
KenDBerryMD, thanks for the video & the keto drops info, had a question regarding minerals, I make my own magnesium oil, wondered since its Magnesium Chloride I use to make it, can I also add salt(ie Sodium Chloride) and my supplemental potassium( potassium chloride) to the oil recipe? I figure it's an easy way to get them all through the day and avoid the issues with eating too much magnesium at once and having to run through the bathroom, would appreciate your take on it, thanks.
Foods you can eat: Beef, eggs, butter, liver, bacon. Use salt to taste, drink water, still or sparkling, coffee and tea. No other foods for at least a month. One or two very large meals a day within a 6-hour window. Fast 18hrs. No sweeteners, no breaded meats. Avoid all carbs. Got it! thank you!!
Video starts at 4:25 Eat all the Beef you want Eat all the whole eggs you want of any kind Eat organ meat as much as you want Eat Bacon as much as you want Use grass fed Butter and real pink salt You can drink black coffee, tea and water No other foods whatsoever Eat once or twice a day within a six hour window. Make sure you are comfortably stuffed to remain full.
@@ArtLoverScotland Ha, good question. I fell off the wagon and had to do it again. Went up to over 18 stone but I'm down to 17 now. It works well BUT discipline is an issue too. Good to see your an art lover. I just picked up a brush for the first time this year. Small acorns etc etc. Best wishes from Darkest South Glasgow
@@GenRN I understand completely. It is somewhat jarring at first but you adapt quicker than you think. 14 days goes by very quickly. It's a benefit that is proportionate to the sacrifice in the end I would suggest. Dabble with Atkins or Carnivore and go from there. Your not under an obligation to keep going if it doesn't suit. I'd try it.
I can testify that this does work. My doctor had diagnosed me with diabetes and put me on medication that was making me feel like a zombie, and I still had high sugar levels. Well, I remembered that back in my younger days when I used to do powerlifting, I used to only eat animal products and never had any of these illnesses. So, I decided to reverse my diabetes and told my doctor I would not take any more medication. I then started watching videos by Ken Berry that showed me I was doing the right thing. Of course, I experienced sugar withdrawal symptoms, but I stuck with it. In one month, my diabetes was gone, I lost 25 lbs of fat, and I have felt healthier than I have in years. Next month, I will be 64, and I have the energy of a 19-year-old athletic man. Try it, and you won't regret it.
Raymond, you've done Carnivore for this improvement? Or did you do some Keto veggies? Struggling to get hubby's sugar down. I think he has to go carnivore.
@@tarathompson8192 I am a T1 diabetic. Since starting a low carb/ketogenic diet, my blood sugars have dramatically improved. Every 3 months or so, I go in for my A1C. Every time, they have dropped on average 1 full point. Before keto I was routinely in the 9s. I then went to 8.7, 8.0, and my most recent 6.8. I still have work to do, but I am trending in the right direction. IMHO, if you can get your husband to start cutting carbs, he should see great improvements.
@@tarathompson8192 no not doing carnivore more or less just keto eating as low of carb that i can i really like sweets but have cut those out good luck he can do it
DR. BERRY'S TIPS FOR THE BEST WEIGHT LOSS (very low carb/zero carb) EAT ONLY: 1. Meat from Ruminent Animals (beef, lamb, goat, venison, etc) 2. Eggs 3. Butter 4. Organ meats (liver etc) 5. Bacon 6. Drink water (sparkling or still) 7. Use Salt as much as you like 8. Can drink coffee or tea without any sweeteners * Do for 1-3 months at least. * Do intermittent fasting (one meal or 2 meals a day within less than a 6 hour window). * Eat until comfortably full. * Ensure you get enough electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, sodium).
I love that you mentioned sugar and carb addictions. I have both issues, and people think it's a joke when I say it, but I literally feel like a sugar crackhead.
I'm definitely a sugar junkie. I've quit sodas so many times I've lost count, and all it takes is one soda to get me started again. I've come to understand why alcoholics have such problems.
Oh it’s true. I’m a sugar addict as well. People who are not don’t even understand the struggle. Like not buying any candy on purpose so I won’t get tempted, but then at 2 am (after struggling the whole day) just getting in my car and driving to a gas station to buy every candy imaginable and stuffing my face in it like it’s crack!!!! And literally getting that drug high. The struggle is real. It’s a proper addiction. Fasting helped. Going carnivore even more. But once pms hits for a few days I just can’t resist and I have some candy. But like 1/4 oft what I’d eat before. Baby steps haha
Husband started this diet hack with the plan to do just the 30 days. It started 1/1/2022. Today is 8/13/2022 and he's lost over 120 pounds without ANY cheating! He has no urge to cheat. Started in the high 300s. He is happy, fully of energy, off a ton of medications. His shirts were 4X and now the 2X are LOOSE. His waist was in the high 40s and now is at 38. He looks so good! (I should say that after month one he did add a larger range of Carnivore meats and added lots of Salmon, chicken and any other meat you can think of. His favourites are Pork Belly and LIVER. Yum
@TRUST I melt some butter in a skillet and brown sliced beef liver for just a couple of minutes...it cooks fast and you don't want it overdone. Chicken livers can cook a bit longer.
@TRUST I do it on the skillet; if I don't eat it like that, I place it in the food processor with melted salted butter and a bit of salt... it's delicious in my opinion. I do it so it lasts 2 or 3 days, not more. Y eat a spoonful with any other meat or boiled eggs, for example.
THIS is the Video that started All my weight loss. 70 lbs. Down, 57 years old, inflammation in my knees, GONE! Haven't taken OR Needed Prescription for Acid reflux since February 2019. I recommend it! I've Intermittent Fasted, OMAD, Carnivore, IT ALL WORKS!!!
How long did it take you on this diet to get rid of the inflammation I haven’t really really bad in my back and some in my knees so I’m going back to drinking apple cider vinegar and doing this
@@fourthtunz I "Noticed" it from the second into the third month. I had better range of movement and no pain. By that time I lost a good 30-35 pounds. Hope this helps. STAY WITH IT!
@@danscalone8110 thanks for the reply! I just went to Mexico for stem cell treatment , 3 herniated disks, cysts on my hips, and arthritis in hips in back. Quit smoking and drinking 3months ago, started apple cider vinegar and am now fasting 3 days and then will do this diet! I need to lose 25 lbs too! Thank you Daniel for the info!
Love this Dr! Not here to sell supplements, collagen, drinks, special additives. Dr Berry seems to be in 100% to getting people healthy and so he along with a few select other Drs. I wish blessings upon and thank from the total of my being.
PLEASE, KEEP, KEEPING ME UP TO DATE, I HAVE DECIDED I WILL START MINE IN ABOUT 2 DAYS, SO YOUR UPDATES WILL KEEP ME MOTIVATED, THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU, SO PROUD OF YOU AGAIN FOR THE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT LOSS
Day 6 of this weight loss hack - I've lost 10.5 lb. I'm in full ketosis and burning pure fat. I'm a Type II diabetic, and my morning blood glucose usually runs anywhere between 140 and 180. This morning it was 96! I actually had to skip my diabetes meds because they would have sent me into a hypo. I'm actually starting to reverse my insulin resistance! I haven't felt this good in over a year. If you're looking for these kinds of results, give this a try. It's hard, but not as hard as being fat!
16 days in and I’m down 16.5 lb. I’m laser focused on this. Right now I’m just following the plan, but I think I’m ready to kick it up a notch with some exercise. I have never lost this amount of weight this quickly. Starting to see and feel the changes in my body, both inside and out.
10th day on carnivore diet. Went from completely regular food, to eggs, chop meat, bacon, steak, chicken and a little cheese OVER NIGHT. Trying to stay hydrated with water, electrolytes, magnesium, and one tbs apple sider vinegar a day. THATS IT. Probably Zero CARBS, Zero SUGAR. Lost 11 lbs since start. Nothing in inches.. Keto flu started about the 3rd or 4th day. Still feel pretty crummy, but trying to power through. Don't know how much longer I can deal with this Keto flu. I've been testing for Ketosis with the strips and only still registering small amount. I thought I would have been full-blown ketosis by now. I had cancer back in 2014. went thru chemo, radiation, and pumping bottles of Ensure through a tube into my stomach, for three months. If I did that, I have to be able to do this. Going to keep powering thru this. Let's see what happens. They're either going to find me dead on the floor or making a success of this.
Hi Mike. Just checking in on you. Similar start off for me on May 6, so I am two weeks in. I hope you are sticking with it, but if not and you want to try again, may I offer something to consider that just boosted me right into ketosis. I saw some videos on 3 day Sardine Fast. Now, this was not an easy consideration as no one in my entire network has ever eaten a sardine to my knowledge. They were repulsive to me. My I thought...it is 3 days and the benefits looked fantastic. So I did it and I am ecstatic at my progress. I even went back and bought more just to keep on hand, in my car, in a drawer at work. So handy and non-perishable. They were very filling and killed the snarling lion that used to live in my stomach. Sure made IF and ketovore so much easier. I am doing ACV and lemon water with electrolytes since I lean carnivore right now. My Dr Boz ratio has been in the 20's for over 10 days straight. That is unbelievable. Many blessings to you. Keep up the good fight. 💪💪💪
You don't need the magnesium supplements, you get plenty in the food. Keto flu will pass, you went to far, too quick, your body needs a week or two to adjust the Microbiome
My husband and I have been on Keto for 5 months. He went from 231 to 194 and I went from 211 to 177 SO FAR. We're NOT done and we're never going back to eating all of that crap that made us FAT! We feel so healthy and energetic now.
Checking back in, we're doing great. Still eating keto. We did splurge a bit around the holidays, which I learned was really not worth it but back on track now. The only hard part about keto is the week or so it takes for your body to get into ketosis. I love keto!
My favorite part of these types of videos are the comments. They really let you know it's a good decision. God bless all who are successful, and thank you.
@@angeldahnke3496 dairy can still have some tolerance and/or inflammation issues with people. Not just lactose intolerance either. So this eliminates all that from the equation. After the 30 days, you can try and add the heavy cream back in to see if you notice any changes, good or bad...
Barely over 4 months and I've lost 57 pounds doing this!! Got 35 more to go. Best lifestyle change ever, I don't miss any of the carbs and believe it or not, it's cheaper, if you shop carefully! Thanks doc, for greatly improving my life!!
Can you have sausage as well or just bacon. Can you share your meal tips, I would love to know so I can prep my meals due to my evening work schedule. I am really excited to try this diet.
Im 64 years old and this is the video that, three years ago, started me on the path to the first real fat loss I've experienced in my adult life. I was 270 lbs at my heaviest and I got below 210. I've relapsed a bit and gotten up to 230, but I'm recommiting today and going back full keto.
Way to go! I started at 266 May 4, 2023 and down 11 pounds in 25 days. I'm 65 and have slow metabolism but already have much more energy. Soon I will be able to exercise more. This lifestyle change has been so easy for me. Even my wife said that I look thinner. 😎👍🏻
I'm definitely going to try this. My doctor just told me that I'm type 2 diabetic. This has to change! I love pasta and sweets, especially chocolate so I'm gonna fight hard to break that. Wish me luck😊
From 3/20/22 to 7/2/22 I have lost 50lbs on keto and I.F. I have tried every diet on the planet and was never able to loose weight so fast and feel so good. My skin is more youthful, I feel so energetic and youthful. This is the best way to live ever! I wish I had found this years ago. It’s Amazing.
Zero carb (carnivore) broke my plateau from keto. I only stick with carnivore and fasting. Fasting got me weaned off caffeine and reset my taste buds to enjoy different foods like sardines, herring, pork (Foods I hated before) 200lbs down since feb 2017
Donna Warren I love and appreciate Dr. Berry’s work because if I say that a carnivore diet works, people yell at me and say that I’m not qualified to give out health information, so then I just post Dr. Berry and he says the exact same stuff with an MD lol
The taste-buds thing is an important point. I broke my carnivore diet as an experiment and went back to the Sad American Diet for a few days. In less than a week all of the liver and heart I used to find appetizing is now hard to swallow again. Bottom line: what/how you eat radically modifies taste and satiety!
This is my exact story. For me this carnivore eating plan fixed my A1C, my cholesterol and triglycerides: 4 eggs in 1/4 cup butter with 1/2 pkg of sugar free bacon EVERY DAY for Bfast, steak/meat in bacon grease/butter everyday at 1-2pm. Done!
@@tiam3663 It's best to stay away from cheese at least the first 30 days and then after that maybe add it in and see how you do. Cheese stalls many ppl.
Thanks! I tried the BBBE Challenge for 1 month and lost 10 lbs.!!! Now, I'm primarily carnivore but chose to do ketovore when variety is needed. Still moving the scale with minimal exercise!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the masses as you were instrumental in getting me started with carnivore!
@@gardeninginthedesert keto is low carb, moderate protein, high fat. You can have some low carb veggies on keto. Carnivore is just animal products. No veggies no matter how low carb.
i am having issues with my knee as well. I had imaging done, and there was no bone on bone or arthritis issues. the inside ligament is causing the pain i suspect it is inflammation, that can be helped by a meat diet. I am unsure if there is any thing else to do about it?
@@patriciapeters2152 It can’t hurt to try an all meat diet. After about 3 months you should be able to feel if it does reduce the inflammation to your knees.
@patriciapeters I have inflammatory response to many things and found an all meat diet assisted with the treatment of neuropathy after major back surgery. I am using this approach in hopes of discontinuing medications I have been using for years. I hope you have some relief.
I have been on this EXACT diet for 7 days....I have lost ONE pound a day. I am NOT exercising just doing my regular routine.17/7 fast or 18/6 most days. I eat 2 meals until I am FULL....FULL...meat, sausage and eggs and a little hard cheese...water, tea coffee. I am RARELY hungry. Just stunning to me.
A R I started eating protein and low carb veggies. I eat 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. I was afraid I would get hungry. I stated intermittent fasting by not eating after 7 pm till breakfast. Gradually my fast went longer. My need for food decreased so I found myself overtime naturally fasting an average of 22 hours a day and eating one big protein meal and one snack in a 6 hour window. Limited carbs under 20 grams a day. Lost 40 lbs rather fast. Now 6.0 A1C
This video changed my life..doing it since 30 days.. 80% reduction in inflamation More focus in daily life Sleep is improved Lost weight I craved for healthy foods (which was not the case before this diet) Now i do not get angry at all on people Carnivore diet+OMAD=life😍 Thanks doc😎
I’am down 32lbs since February and it’s the beginning of May now. Hope to loose and 50 by the end of the year. I have never felt better so full of energy. No diet has ever done this for me. Glucose levels are 89. BP is on target. All blood levels are excellent. Thank you so much Dr Berry! Your a true God sent.
I'm pretty much following this diet as I don't really like vegetables, I'm also considerably overweight, was in the 300 club. I started this and cut almost all carbs, light vegetables and a \ lot of meat, down 28lbs in 21 days so far. May take it to the next step and go strictly carnivore and see how that goes now that I'm past the sugar and carb detox.
@@jasonlangworth2542 I eat a lot of eggs and hamburgers with no bun. I make my own sauces, Olive oil Mayo and Frank's hot sauce mixed 5:1 is awesome. I also live in Oklahoma so most of my meat I buy as half a cow/pig, steaks and everything works out to under $4/lb. Several families around me sell fresh eggs.
@@SaltySirenFloriduh I made it to the 2's. Took a break due to some gout inflammation issues and the holidays. Goal for 23 is to make it to 220, then just hold 210-230 the rest of my life.
Thanks for this video. After one month of beef, eggs, bacon ,butter salt, coffee and water I've lost 28.5lbs. I started at 283.5 and this puts over half way of my goal of 230.
Thank you, I started carnivore in June of this last year, I have loss 57 lbs....thank you for your videos. From 242 to 185, and off B/P and cholesterol meds, at 71 I'm feeling great
@@meilysumantri9819 I usually have 2 eggs for breakfast with 7 or 8 slices of bacon ...hamburger patties for lunch...I don't eat after 4:00 , no SUGAR, BREAD, OR POTATOES...very low carbs, no more than 10 to 15 grams a day.... Saturdays I'll have a 12 to 16 oz ribeye and salad...this is pretty much my routine every day...I do change up my meats tuna one day, chicken another...what I do might not work for you but it did for me good luck...and I'm not hungry during the day...I also fast one day a week for 16 to 24 hrs...I hope this helps...also I do brown butter if I get really hungry ( just a few 2 or 3 pieces) I also drink water or unsweetened tea
@larryivey1329 I tried this anx it does work. I noticed I never craved sugar either. But it took one time to eat something sweet and I failed. And once I had sugar I wanted it more and it is hard to stop.
I completed the 30-Day Carnivore Challenge with great success and I'm not stopping. I feel so incredibly amazing all the time now. I lost 20 lbs, my waist went down 2 inches, I sleep so much better and my stress level has declined tremendously. My blood pressure is a non issue and my resting heart rate has finally dropped down to an excellent level, for a 59 year old man. I was just starting to wear XL again, now I can fit into Medium shirts, little tight but loosing up more and more. I'm not stopping. I feel absolutely amazing, energy levels now are like when I was in my 20s - 30s... Thank you so much for all you do Dr. Ken...
Were you on medication for high blood pressure before the carnivore diet? My hubs is and we’re worried about him doing carnivore with lots of fatty red meat and his high blood pressure.
@@melissaholcomb48 yes I was and I still am my doctor is in the background aware of what I'm doing. I'm blessed with that. Honestly my body felt calmer and my over anxiety and stress decreased tremendously once I was fully fat adapted. For the past 36 days I haven't had any sugar or any processed foods whatsoever. I feel amazing my doctor will do blood work at the end of this month. I'm trying to convince everyone to do this.
Dr Berry..I bless the day I came across this video. I am a 53 yr old woman, struggling to stop the gradual weight gain despite my efforts. 6 months later after following this exact plan, I've lost 18 kilos and am feeling strong and healthy. I was keto before carnivore and now that I have lost the weight I am maintaining myself on ketovore. thank you for telling us the truth about food and nutrition.
Hi Dr. Berry! Thanks for your advice. I lost a little over 50 pounds in 2 months. 257 now. I discovered that I had a gut issue that probiotics helped fix. Then the massive weeks of gout attacks. All in all, I am very thankful that my wife referred me to your video. Thanks again!
Started keto July 19th, 2022. Lost 102 lbs. Converted to carnivore August 2nd, 2023. 2 weeks yesterday and scale stopped moving up and down. Now it's definitely moving down. -3 lbs overnight. Lol, doing 23/1 for last couple of days. Pretty much by accident. Thanks Dr Berry for putting your knowledge out for us.
What great advice. For just under 2 years, I've been Keto/Carnivore and have learned that I need to fine tune as I go. What you just shared was instrumental in helping me lose 114 pounds. Wonderful that others will know about this hack without the trial and error of getting there. Thank you for all you do!
I’m so excited to share my numbers with someone who can relate! My blood sugar was always around 287, my A 1C was in Diabetic range, after 2 weeks it’s at 151! My blood pressure ON meds was around 140/92 now with no meds…134/80! I’m consistently losing a pound and a half per day and in 2 weeks have lost 11pounds! I’m not hungry! I’m almost to OMAD also. My skin tags are shrinking and I FEEL better and better and I’m starting to look younger! 🙌🙌 Thanks so much for putting your work out there! Many blessings to you and yours!
JimL…thanks for asking. I struggled at first and would occasionally have a cookie or banana but I finally decided that I was only hurting myself by doing that and in my mind now I say “that’s poison ☠️ don’t take it” and I have not had a speck of sugar unless it’s hidden in things like my vitamins. Yes, vitamins have some version of sugar 🙄 I am having a keto fat bomb daily to fill a sugar craving and that works. I am fasting and mostly doing OMAD. I have gotten used to it. I need to measure my body to keep track as I am not losing tons of pounds but I am losing inches. Got new clothes that I couldn’t wear before! I was so heavy that you have to lose a ton before anyone else can see it, but people are finally starting to comment and that feels so good 😊
I feel that at 58 years old I have been lied to. I started off on my weight loss journey and fitness kick by saying to myself I am going to be fitter and thinner than I have ever been. I have gone full carnivore and very quickly I lost weigh. I swim every day even when I don't feel like it and I can't begin to tell you how well I feel. Once you understand that fats and meat are extremely good for you the weight just melts away and not only that , but it melts away quickly.
Thanks Dr. Berry! I did KETO with Intermittent Fasting eating One Meal a Day (OMAD) from August 2020 to December 2020 and lost 50 pounds. Transitioned to Carnivore January 2021 to present and lost 40, total 90 pounds with no exercise.
@@TheMerlynb My understanding isn’t that they lost 50 pounds on Keto in about 5 months, then went to the stricter Carnivore for about 5 months and lost an additional 40 pounds. They didn’t state the exact duration or the days of the month that they started and finished on, but it seems like they may have lost about 10 pounds more on Keto. Initial weight does seem to come off easier than when you hit a plateau eventually. Maybe that occurred?
Oooh, How have I missed this channel for this long? I'm subscribed and bingeing all of the videos that I can. Thanks so much for caring about patients that you will probably never meet in your practice. You're much appreciated.
I joined your BBBE weight loss "Hack" 13 days ago today. IVE BEEN KETO for 3 1/2 years, but with all the keto junk food and breads, out of my 120 lb weight loss, 20lbs krept back on. Ive lost 10 pound in 13 days. Have 10 more to go. (My photo is recent).My blood pressure is down to 110/62. My A1C is now 5.5, throid levels from Hypothyroidism to normal. IM Doing OMAD, With just coffee in the morning and iced tea and Electrolytes all day.
Been doing this for not quite 2 weeks. I cannot tell you the weight loss because I have stayed off the scales. But I was wearing 42 jeans 2 weeks ago and yesterday bought 38s. My BP was OUTRAGEOUS. I know some will say no way but it was averaging 175/95...has been as high as 215/105. In TWO WEEKS it has dropped SIGNIFICANTLY. This morning my wife said "you look 15 years younger". THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEOS.
A general rule of thumb is 8 maybe 9 pounds will cause you to go up or down a size. 42 jeans to 38 if I am not mistaken that is two sizes for men’s sizing, you lost around 16-18 pounds at minimum in two weeks. That is amazing.
- Intermittent 18/6, two meal, pure carnivore diet OR omad pure carnivore diet - Works for me very well... when I want to manage and get rid of inflammation, drop body fat, feel energetic and very clear headed ... I do that too
I was never fat or overweight, I’m only 29, but my parents got on this diet from Dr. Berry and haven’t shut up about it. So I tried it, I always work out 4-5 times a week lifting weights, some cardio, some Olympic lifts etc. I’m about 5 weeks into it , and I gotta say I’ve realized things about my body that were so obvious but I didn’t know until now. I was absolutely more insulin resistant than most people. I feel so much better as far as mood, I have more energy from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. I’m losing the fat in places that I haven’t ever been able to shred it off of. I literally have never had visible abdominal muscles until this point in my life and I freaking did it eating bacon? It makes me mad that this diet is being suppressed in basic weight loss media, it’s so simple, and truly effective within a week it seemed like.
Similar story for me, im a skinny body type but I am now almost on week two and my abs are showing for the first time in my life. Even the veins on my forehaed are coming through, and my mental clarity is way up. My breath hardly smells at all in the mornings. Im in tune with what my body needs
I had to get off the diabetic medicine Wednesday which was January 18, 2022. And I’ve been doing pretty good but not good enough and I am so thankful that God sent your video to me today because I need something like this right now. I’m starting this tomorrow. Thank you for everything that you share. I pray that God will bless your life for helping others. I also pray and hope that you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. .
I'm 72. Doing this makes me feel like I'm 30 again. UNBELIEVABLE!! I've never been overweight but I had other issues. Skin issues, prostate issues. You name it. I do consume a few carbs but a very few. Thank you Dr. Berry. 🤣😁😆
@@skyblueeyes9968 I do pretty much a 16/8 fast everyday. I eat homemade beef jerky and deviled eggs about 11 am. Enough to be satisfied. At 6 or 7 pm I'll eat a large meal consisting of a variety of things all week. Steak, ground beef, lamb, pork, chicken wings, shrimp, fish, bacon and eggs, etc. I no longer eat plants or carbs. Although I will eat a few strawberries for dessert occasionally. No recipes really. Extremely simple preparations.
I am a serious follower and "on line student" of Dr. Berry. I'm from Colombia living in USA. This is my 2nd. week on carnivore diet. I'm taking all steps gradually; still feel so weak and nauseated just with the smell of meat & fat. Small portion once a day. I don't know if it's because I don't have my gallbladder, but not good feeling after eating my portion. I won't quit!! This is my best decision in years in order to be healthy. Thank you Dr. Berry.
This way of eating is magical. It took some time for the scale to move, but once it did, I was so happy and relieved. Thank you for your support and videos! Keep ‘em coming!!
I started this plan on Saturday - as in, 3 days ago - and I have already dropped 10 lb......TEN POUNDS!! I have done keto before, and I had amazing results, but nowhere near as rapidly as this. My energy level has gone up dramatically, and my blood glucose and blood pressure have both plummeted. I am excited to see what the next 27 days bring! Thank you, Dr Berry!
@@ффф-з7и I am eating eggs, bacon, beef and butter. I can’t do organ meat. I eat between 10 am and 4pm. It’s not easy, but neither is being 100 lb overweight. It’s not for everyone, but it works for me. My options are very limited, and I have a specific time frame for eating, which is exactly what I need. I hope you can find your own success!
Just found this. I wanted an elimination diet and my body wanted meat. Two werks in and I'm feeling fabulous. Not doing this for weight loss, but health.The fat loss is a bonus!
I started keto May 2018. After a few months I could go upstairs easily and even run them. I could lift stuff better and do other physical activities easier. This was during doing NO time at the gym but some walking and had little weight to lose. I’m 70 yo woman and this state of improved physicality was noticeable and now I realize it was the muscle sparing effects of keto. Wow. It works. I’m never really tired except for the workout tired feeling I love. Try it, people. I feel fabulous inside and out. 😀😀. Well fed too. Not hungry. NO energy crashes
You are an amazing role model! Thanks for the inspiration! I've been playing with primal, keto, carnivore for years now and I'm still learning how my body works/responds...my biggest problem is sugar addiction, just the tiniest amount puts me into a (sickening) tailspin!.... then I start over...Again!
Congratulations - that's awesome! I've lost over 60 pounds and now run up and down our stairs as opposed to the very slow pain filled way I used to go up and down them. I am no longer in pain and my knee arthritis is completely gone. I used to need cortisone shots in my knees every 6 months to prevent them from getting fluid filled (had to get them drained back then as well.) I have been on Keto for over 1 1/2 years now and my arthritis has never returned! :)
Congratulations Janet ! I am a woman your same age, and I'd like to know if you also ate pork (other than bacon) and chicken while doing this? I have lots of pork chops in the freezer that I would like to use!
@@westcoastpicker167 You are wonderful! I am your before. Pain-filled climbing of stairs. Ouch! My right knee is bad. I really am sad about the pain. I need to lose about 40. This woe does give me a bit of scary thoughts. How hard is it really? Again - what a great story!
@@themandigirl Pork chops do not have quite as much nutrition as beef, but is not bad. The major downside is they are probably too lean. If you cook them in a quality oil like lard, tallow, ghee, etc. and smother the chop in real butter, you should be good. I would mix some beef in here and there though.
Lost 20 pounds in a couple weeks. Went back to my addiction when I started stressing 😢 so i know what’s the real problem. Starting back over not going back to the Carbs they’re killing me! This definitely works. I’m going to stick with it until I kick my sugar addiction all the way
I am a stress eater to. I followed this and was doing great and didn't crave anything sweet. I felt really good. I started to stress about personal things and noticed me slowly eating things I had avoided. Now having to start all over again. It's so hard.
I've been a person who struggles with weight loss for many years. I will give this a try and never done the carnivore diet before. I will start tomorrow and come back on an update in a month. I currently weight 290lbs. Wish me luck.
@@amymay2442 count your totals carbs, not "net". I started at 220 lbs, and went to 154 lbs by keeping my carbs to 20 grams a day, IT (intermittent fasting), and OMAD (one meal a day). And I binged on Dr Berry videos. Best wishes.
@@monicacollins8289 Thank you so much for your reply Monica! I am for sure going to count my whole carbs..I think that will be more beneficial for me and my weight loss journey :)
@@nancyissa4781 Thanks for asking. It took me about nine months. First I learned what not to eat, then learned OMAD and IT. I also discovered that Bragg's apple cider vinegar is a magic bullet for weight loss. I didn't exercise, but as I progressed I became more naturally active because I could do so without pain. At the 50 lb mark, I climbed Mt. Konocti with my daughter, and the following month was in a 5K obstacle course with my granddaughters. I was 65 at the time. And I went from size 16/18 jeans to size 8. No more bloat, acid reflux, joint pain, carb binges, and avoiding socializing. I hope this helps and encourages you.
I’m 59, I started following Dr Berry and his guest speakers for a little over a year now. I was 290-298 and this morning I weighed in at 240. In just I had a Life Scan Physical and blood work done. All levels are in normal range -Finally!! My Chronic Fatty Lover is now borderline sever, and looking much better according to the scan. Testosterone is over 500 and I feel energetic and the clothes in my closet fit for the first time in many years! Some I had to replace as they were no longer in style- To YOU- Do It, Do It NOW!
I can not say how grateful I am Dr. Berry :)!!! Started this style of eating two weeks ago. As a full time worker AND student I have never felt so focused and without a brain-fog which made my studies much harder. And I am FINALLY on my way to a six-pack. Thank you a thousand times :D!!! Update 15.09. I am now in the middle of my first 72 hour fast, half way through and feeling really good :). I have even trained already two times after starting my fast, no problem at all, may a bit slower, but feeling fine.
@@KJV1776WASP This week I had my first 36 hour fast and it was actually funny :), next week I want to make a 48 hour fast. I consumed a lot of green and herbal tea as well as ginger water with lemon which was in fact quite satiating.
I'm one month into my 3 month experiment. So far I've healed my Baker's cyst, chronic bone and muscle pain, lost 2+ inches off my waist, have crazy energy and mental clarity and even a better attitude about life! I prayed and prayed for almost 2 years to be healed. Finally I prayed to be shown how to heal myself and BOOM!! Carnivore OMAD ftw!! I've tried literally everything else.
@@angelagrant2943 Stick to it, friend! I'm almost through the 90 days now and I've lost many inches, I'm stronger, and I feel so much better. Pretty sure I'm going to stick with it. I ate 5 tortilla chips and got the worst earache of my life for 2 hours! It's crazy, but now I can experiment and find out what hurts me. It's such a blessing!
2 weeks in . . . . you have taken the chronic out of my pain. :-) Please don't ever stop sending this message. When I think of the global issues and consequences . . . . (I'm 63 and that's a recent pic of me).
It seems to me it’s different than just keto because of the focus on lots of fat. Sure keto wants lots of fat, but the proportions of fat on this diet are higher still. I believe that’s why it doesn’t include things like chicken or fish.
@@MargieSchneider that's because fats go to the skin and muscles and signals growth hormones, which tells the body to burn stored fat. It is not absorbed into the current fat stores due to omad fasting which is the second part of this diet. Also for so many who keep asking in case they see this, vegetables are ok to eat as well, just stay away from fruits.
Just started cv diet 25 days ago and have lost 11 lbs. I'm convinced it's working for me and will continue at least 65 more days. Thank you Doctor Berry. 😎👍🏻
Being on keto for 2 yrs did you experience any hormonal imbalance with regards to your monthly cycle and any hair loss or hair thinning for that matter.
@@nausheenmasood6189 I did for a short time. The hair loss was due to eating too few calories over an extended time though. Once I upped my calories (above 1200 a day) my hair all grew back. I have an IUD so I didn't have a period before I started keto, now I do for a few days a month. (I didnt really want that back, but I see how this diet is great for women trying to have a baby)
Went from 236 to 213 in January 2022. Daily carbs less than 15 gms and 18 hr fast. Took a break x1 wk to prevent thyroid down regulation no regains and will hit it again to get under 200. Pickle juice helps electrolytes replacement
On March 31 I weighed 240 lbs I cut out all sugar went low carbs. I dropped down to 213lbs got stuck went into IF went down to 209 got stuck went into 16 8 IF and dropped to 199lbs on May 26th.and I ate like this DR said
Congrats on the weight loss and thank you for sharing your success. So we're not allowed to eat vegetables? Simply stick with exactly what Dr. Berry said, and no condiments or spices either?
Been on this Carnivore/Keto diet now for 3 weeks. Got my blood work results back. Red Blood cells were healthy. Liver & Kidney enzymes were “perfect” (doctors words). Triglycerides were at healthy levels. My HDL & LDL Cholesterol was also “perfect” and I have no trace of Diabetes at all. Oh, and I dropped 12 lbs! Thanks Dr Berry!!!
@@robjohnson212 That's awesome! If you are willing, I'd love to hear how your blood work turns out. I'm a nurse and this diet is so far removed from my nutrition teaching. Even so, I've done keto, so I do tend to go against the grain. :)
@@susanb4213 Absolutely. I'm happy to post my results. I'll should get them the last week of July when I go in for my blood draw. Off topic but I also give 1 Pint of blood every 90 days. Been doing that consistently for the last 2 years.
I just ran into the bbbe challenge this morning already have my grocery list going. I'm going to do this! Ive been stuck for over a year now matter what I've done. I gave up all sugar all grains and no snacks. This helped my binge eating like a miracle but I didn't really lose weight. Thanks Doc
I found dr.Berry and switched from.9 yrs whole food plsnt based to carnivore next day , triggeringvsn xenobiotic obsenegen dupping of toxins in less then 6 days!!! Sizec22 to a size 2-4 by day. 4 REAL!!!
@@Awholeadult what exercise? in case you are totally clueless, a high-protein/low carb diet will burn stored fats with nothing more than daily routines. The most exercise I did was walking the length of Atlanta/Hartsfied Int'l Airport 2-3 times a day on my job
I have lost 116 pounds by using 10 different diet programs . every week I would change my program , but this carnivore program is my favorite program. I am never hungry and I have lost weight on it.
I just want to say after dabbling into keto that I have been on this diet for a little over a month and since I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in mid-march of this year I have lost 33 pounds. I feel absolutely fantastic and it's all thanks to you and your wonderful advice and knowledge
Thank I am one of the Diabetics will try. I love meat so I think is a no brainer I don’t have to count anything. I did not hear anything about fruits, vegetables, cheese, MCT oil, and different butters example almond.
3 years late... but am here... now 6 weeks into keto/OMAD... eating all the goodies and fat....incredible...unbelievable.... no carbs, no sugar.... lost 30 pounds ... and sugar level almost back to normal.... love preparing all that food.....love shopping for food....I live at the Med.... from Spain
Since February 10th 2021 I've lost Over 40 pounds on this carnivore lifestyle is awesome! I'm not stopping anytime soon! Thanks for all your information. I'm on a 5 day fast day 3 and I feel great!
Fully agree on the sugar/carb addiction. I can conquer it if I go cold turkey. After about 3 days, I don't crave either nearly as much as the first day. The key is also to having handy the right alternatives as called out in the video by the doc!
I'm on day 5 of this weight loss hack, and I'm down 12 lbs (I have a lot to lose), and once I got over the hump, I'm feeling great. This has caused me to come head to head with my emotional eating... I didn't realize how much I ate due to emotions and not true hunger until I couldn't eat for 18 hours in a day... Totally do not feel deprived on this plan... I am just being forced to handle my emotions in a healthier way... And that's a very good thing. Thank you so much for your videos. I find them so helpful, and I share them with my family and friends.
@@liyacarolyn6055 thank you for your message. I'm currently not following the plan (which I hate, because the plan works so beautifully) due to taking a financial hit. In my neck of the woods, one family package of chicken (with the skin on) costs about $16. I never felt so good energy wise and health wise than when I was following this eating plan. On a positive note, I'm starting therapy to help work through the emotional eating issues at a local low cost clinic. I've found that when I was doing the diet, my incidents of anxiety attacks and depression lessened greatly. Any suggestions on how to do this diet cheaply (even hot dogs near me cost $6 / pack unless on sale), I'm all ears. I'm even considering relocating for financial reasons. Anything to be able to get back on this diet, because it was soooo working for me.
angelsiren319 congratulations how’s it going now I just started 10/1/19 going good so far and hoping to see results I’m insulin resistance and thyroids too 🤦♀️
How can so many people eat so much meat and don't feel sick !?? I just can't do it :(( when i was a tren and în my 20s i used to eat more meat, but now I'm down to 3 times or less per week. When i eat more meat my blood pressure goes up, i'm nervos, more aggressive and unhappy/moody. I know this sounds weird to meat lovers, i do like meat, but my body hates it.. And let's not forget the amount of added amount of growth hormones în the meat these days, unhealthy when you think about it
I agree. While eating as much as you want is a good way to wean off carb cravings at the beginning, after a while, you should be content with less food. For older folks, I think 3 meals a day is just too much opportunity to overeat, so 2 or 1 meals is a good goal to strive for. Also reprogramming oneself to permit salt again takes a while to implement, because the extra salt can help curb the appetite. I've found the keto diet requires more diligence on maintaining electrolytes. So I've taken up the habit of using No Salt (potassium chloride) in equal proportion to regular salt (Real Salt) to keep potassium up. While I used to think that taking calcium was what was necessary to prevent muscle cramps, I find it takes mental diligence to keep taking magnesium and potassium to prevent cramping. To some degree, I think that the benefits of coffee are overblown a bit, because coffee is an anti-electrolyte, and so if you drink a lot of coffee, you need to drink a lot of electrolytes to make up for what the coffee drains out of you. I don't know what to think about black tea. I also have a theory that one should be taking cod liver oil regularly when eating lower quality beef which might be quite high in omega6/omega3. This is because the cod liver oil has 100% omega 3. So try to rebalance the ratio a bit if you can.
Something weird happened on this carnivore diet my eyesight improved I could see 83 m opposed to the 20 m I needed to see a number plate on a car to drive legally. My prescription on my glasses stopped working properly and I had to take them off off to see. my long vision really improved but my short Vision got a lot worse this was after two weeks and then I broke my fast and started eating sweets for for 5-days and carbohydrates and my eyesight went back to what it was before needing my glasses again so I've started this carnivore diet Again 3 days ago and I'm looking forward in two weeks to get in my better eyesight back I will stick to it from now on.
Inflammation can mess with eyesight in some people. (Me as an example) when my health drops and I suffer from inflammation in the body my vision decreases and I have to rely on my reading glasses more and more. The better my health is and absence or minimisation of inflammation my eye sight returns to 20/20 and usually above average. Sounds like a similar thing is happening for you.
When my blood sugars improved from around 9 to mid-6 level (IF and mainly LCHF -- not yet carnivore) my eyesight definitely improved -- so much so I needed to change prescription. But as Jayne mentions, my vision quality does fluctuate I think with inflammation too.
That's crazy! When I was in the middle of keto last year, I quickly lost 20 lbs, but it looked like a lot more, because somehow or other, it slightly changes your body shape...especially the abdomen. My energy was greatly improved and my eyesight was stable, but since veering off, my energy level is way down and my eyesight is way worse. I've started back and want to stay on track this time! Keep up the good work!
Here is another video about this very powerful fat-loss hack: th-cam.com/video/JDpRJWdpkiQ/w-d-xo.html
Love the info., Dr. Berry. But, what do you do for constipation?
Now, I have to convince my bread lovin' wife to convert! :)
@@echopeakbicycling85 take a slice of bread. Squeeze it repeatedly in your hand, for about 5 minutes. What happens? Now imagine that in your colon? Constipation is caused by carbs gumming up the works so to speak. Meat is so thoroughly digested it doesn't even make it that far. There is no essential carb. You don't need a shred of fiber. Everything you need can be obtained easily from decent quality ruminant meat.
Thanks Doctor! I was wondering what you think of an A1C of 5.6 (Canada) all Carnivore. Does this seem high? I am normal weight woman in my 40s.
KenDBerryMD, thanks for the video & the keto drops info, had a question regarding minerals, I make my own magnesium oil, wondered since its Magnesium Chloride I use to make it, can I also add salt(ie Sodium Chloride) and my supplemental potassium( potassium chloride) to the oil recipe? I figure it's an easy way to get them all through the day and avoid the issues with eating too much magnesium at once and having to run through the bathroom, would appreciate your take on it, thanks.
FYI - Correct Lose to Loss 🙌
Foods you can eat: Beef, eggs, butter, liver, bacon. Use salt to taste, drink water, still or sparkling, coffee and tea. No other foods for at least a month. One or two very large meals a day within a 6-hour window. Fast 18hrs. No sweeteners, no breaded meats. Avoid all carbs. Got it! thank you!!
Thank you 🙏
No. Thank YOU! 🙏
Bloody hell I am vegetarian 😂😂😂
Sounds keto😅

I have just weighed in on the morning of day 8 of BBBE. I have lost 14 lb’s (a stone in the U.K) Amazing. Greetings from Scotland
That is brilliant. How you doing now?
@@ArtLoverScotland Ha, good question. I fell off the wagon and had to do it again. Went up to over 18 stone but I'm down to 17 now. It works well BUT discipline is an issue too. Good to see your an art lover. I just picked up a brush for the first time this year. Small acorns etc etc. Best wishes from Darkest South Glasgow
@@mongolmcphee7791it does seem extreme. I don’t think I could do that for a month.
@@GenRN I understand completely. It is somewhat jarring at first but you adapt quicker than you think. 14 days goes by very quickly. It's a benefit that is proportionate to the sacrifice in the end I would suggest. Dabble with Atkins or Carnivore and go from there. Your not under an obligation to keep going if it doesn't suit. I'd try it.
Are you male or female? Male's lose weight quicker.
I can testify that this does work. My doctor had diagnosed me with diabetes and put me on medication that was making me feel like a zombie, and I still had high sugar levels. Well, I remembered that back in my younger days when I used to do powerlifting, I used to only eat animal products and never had any of these illnesses. So, I decided to reverse my diabetes and told my doctor I would not take any more medication.
I then started watching videos by Ken Berry that showed me I was doing the right thing. Of course, I experienced sugar withdrawal symptoms, but I stuck with it. In one month, my diabetes was gone, I lost 25 lbs of fat, and I have felt healthier than I have in years. Next month, I will be 64, and I have the energy of a 19-year-old athletic man. Try it, and you won't regret it.
how you doing?
@@harryharry3193 I am still doing great, thank you.
@@JAvoices thats AWESOME.
Nine weeks ago my blood sugar was 300 this morning it was 89 and since December I have lost 40 lbs

Raymond, you've done Carnivore for this improvement? Or did you do some Keto veggies? Struggling to get hubby's sugar down. I think he has to go carnivore.
@@tarathompson8192 I am a T1 diabetic. Since starting a low carb/ketogenic diet, my blood sugars have dramatically improved. Every 3 months or so, I go in for my A1C. Every time, they have dropped on average 1 full point. Before keto I was routinely in the 9s. I then went to 8.7, 8.0, and my most recent 6.8. I still have work to do, but I am trending in the right direction.
IMHO, if you can get your husband to start cutting carbs, he should see great improvements.
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
@@tarathompson8192 no not doing carnivore more or less just keto eating as low of carb that i can i really like sweets but have cut those out good luck he can do it

@@nikkib7112 none, I even take the elevator at work instead of the stairs. 😂😂
I love that you mentioned sugar and carb addictions. I have both issues, and people think it's a joke when I say it, but I literally feel like a sugar crackhead.
I hear you..sugar is my high..I've tried so hard to stop..but I fail
I do to a true addict
I'm definitely a sugar junkie. I've quit sodas so many times I've lost count, and all it takes is one soda to get me started again. I've come to understand why alcoholics have such problems.
Oh it’s true. I’m a sugar addict as well. People who are not don’t even understand the struggle.
Like not buying any candy on purpose so I won’t get tempted, but then at 2 am (after struggling the whole day) just getting in my car and driving to a gas station to buy every candy imaginable and stuffing my face in it like it’s crack!!!! And literally getting that drug high.
The struggle is real. It’s a proper addiction.
Fasting helped. Going carnivore even more. But once pms hits for a few days I just can’t resist and I have some candy. But like 1/4 oft what I’d eat before. Baby steps haha
Sugar is more.addictice than cocaine I have been sugar addicted since a child im 48 still.fighting it
Husband started this diet hack with the plan to do just the 30 days. It started 1/1/2022. Today is 8/13/2022 and he's lost over 120 pounds without ANY cheating! He has no urge to cheat. Started in the high 300s. He is happy, fully of energy, off a ton of medications. His shirts were 4X and now the 2X are LOOSE. His waist was in the high 40s and now is at 38. He looks so good! (I should say that after month one he did add a larger range of Carnivore meats and added lots of Salmon, chicken and any other meat you can think of. His favourites are Pork Belly and LIVER. Yum
yessssssssssss!

@TRUST I melt some butter in a skillet and brown sliced beef liver for just a couple of minutes...it cooks fast and you don't want it overdone. Chicken livers can cook a bit longer.
@TRUST I do it on the skillet; if I don't eat it like that, I place it in the food processor with melted salted butter and a bit of salt... it's delicious in my opinion.
I do it so it lasts 2 or 3 days, not more.
Y eat a spoonful with any other meat or boiled eggs, for example.
Are you allowed to use spices or sauces when you cook? Do you use grass fed beef? Congratulations to your husband!

Day 6 of this weight loss hack - I've lost 10.5 lb. I'm in full ketosis and burning pure fat. I'm a Type II diabetic, and my morning blood glucose usually runs anywhere between 140 and 180. This morning it was 96! I actually had to skip my diabetes meds because they would have sent me into a hypo. I'm actually starting to reverse my insulin resistance! I haven't felt this good in over a year. If you're looking for these kinds of results, give this a try. It's hard, but not as hard as being fat!
16 days in and I’m down 16.5 lb. I’m laser focused on this. Right now I’m just following the plan, but I think I’m ready to kick it up a notch with some exercise. I have never lost this amount of weight this quickly. Starting to see and feel the changes in my body, both inside and out.
@@hemidancer64 great job! what was your starting weight?
@@hemidancer64 Can you please share what you eat in a whole day please
I do carnivore, and the initial weight for the first 2 weeks or so is purely water weight, not fat loss
It's been 7 months. Care to give us your current status?
10th day on carnivore diet. Went from completely regular food, to eggs, chop meat, bacon, steak, chicken and a little cheese OVER NIGHT. Trying to stay hydrated with water, electrolytes, magnesium, and one tbs apple sider vinegar a day. THATS IT. Probably Zero CARBS, Zero SUGAR. Lost 11 lbs since start. Nothing in inches.. Keto flu started about the 3rd or 4th day. Still feel pretty crummy, but trying to power through. Don't know how much longer I can deal with this Keto flu. I've been testing for Ketosis with the strips and only still registering small amount. I thought I would have been full-blown ketosis by now. I had cancer back in 2014. went thru chemo, radiation, and pumping bottles of Ensure through a tube into my stomach, for three months. If I did that, I have to be able to do this. Going to keep powering thru this. Let's see what happens. They're either going to find me dead on the floor or making a success of this.
Hi Mike. Just checking in on you. Similar start off for me on May 6, so I am two weeks in. I hope you are sticking with it, but if not and you want to try again, may I offer something to consider that just boosted me right into ketosis. I saw some videos on 3 day Sardine Fast. Now, this was not an easy consideration as no one in my entire network has ever eaten a sardine to my knowledge. They were repulsive to me. My I thought...it is 3 days and the benefits looked fantastic. So I did it and I am ecstatic at my progress. I even went back and bought more just to keep on hand, in my car, in a drawer at work. So handy and non-perishable. They were very filling and killed the snarling lion that used to live in my stomach. Sure made IF and ketovore so much easier. I am doing ACV and lemon water with electrolytes since I lean carnivore right now. My Dr Boz ratio has been in the 20's for over 10 days straight. That is unbelievable. Many blessings to you. Keep up the good fight. 💪💪💪
Hye, are you okay?? How are things going???
You don't need the magnesium supplements, you get plenty in the food.
Keto flu will pass, you went to far, too quick, your body needs a week or two to adjust the Microbiome
Keep going. You can do it.
@@mikejw58 are you still with us
My husband and I have been on Keto for 5 months. He went from 231 to 194 and I went from 211 to 177 SO FAR. We're NOT done and we're never going back to eating all of that crap that made us FAT! We feel so healthy and energetic now.
How you doing now ? 🙂
Beautiful doing it together and seeing results like this! Feel great?
Hello from 1 year in the future. Hope all is well.
Checking back in, we're doing great. Still eating keto. We did splurge a bit around the holidays, which I learned was really not worth it but back on track now. The only hard part about keto is the week or so it takes for your body to get into ketosis. I love keto!
@@primowendy
Have you measured your fat percentage ? If so , what does that look like now 🤔 ...🙂
My favorite part of these types of videos are the comments. They really let you know it's a good decision. God bless all who are successful, and thank you.

Has anyone said why we can’t have dairy with this hack? As in heavy cream for coffee..? Zero carb, high fat like bacon.. 🤷♀️
@@angeldahnke3496 dairy can still have some tolerance and/or inflammation issues with people. Not just lactose intolerance either. So this eliminates all that from the equation. After the 30 days, you can try and add the heavy cream back in to see if you notice any changes, good or bad...

Barely over 4 months and I've lost 57 pounds doing this!! Got 35 more to go. Best lifestyle change ever, I don't miss any of the carbs and believe it or not, it's cheaper, if you shop carefully! Thanks doc, for greatly improving my life!!
And so quick and easy to shop, cook, and clean.

@@carolg5178 sausage is a type of meat..carnivore

Sausage has meat in it, however a lot of times it has fillers in it as well. Sugars are very common. Read the label carefully
Im 64 years old and this is the video that, three years ago, started me on the path to the first real fat loss I've experienced in my adult life. I was 270 lbs at my heaviest and I got below 210. I've relapsed a bit and gotten up to 230, but I'm recommiting today and going back full keto.
How are you doing 5 months later?
How is it going for you? Still on track?
Way to go! I started at 266 May 4, 2023 and down 11 pounds in 25 days. I'm 65 and have slow metabolism but already have much more energy. Soon I will be able to exercise more. This lifestyle change has been so easy for me. Even my wife said that I look thinner. 😎👍🏻
Relapsing is a stress issue. Stress is real so we need to learn how to recognize when stress is likely and prepare for it.
I'm definitely going to try this. My doctor just told me that I'm type 2 diabetic. This has to change! I love pasta and sweets, especially chocolate so I'm gonna fight hard to break that. Wish me luck😊
Been eating like this for 5 months now. I am off all med's (Thyroid / Blood Pressure / Cholesterol) 83-Glucose / 65 / 115 @ 55-bpm :-)
Fantastic! I've just started looking at this info the last few days. You have inspired me so much. (Greetings from Australia.)

So no veggies? I know they have carbs but I just want to make sure.
1) Beef, Butter, Bacon, Eggs, Liver, Salt, Water, Tea, Coffee, Electrolytes
2) 1-2 Meals Per Day, Eaten In A 6 Hour Window (18-6)
Thank you 🙏🏼
Me too. 18/6 every day.
Thank you
From 3/20/22 to 7/2/22 I have lost 50lbs on keto and I.F. I have tried every diet on the planet and was never able to loose weight so fast and feel so good. My skin is more youthful, I feel so energetic and youthful. This is the best way to live ever! I wish I had found this years ago. It’s Amazing.
Zero carb (carnivore) broke my plateau from keto. I only stick with carnivore and fasting. Fasting got me weaned off caffeine and reset my taste buds to enjoy different foods like sardines, herring, pork (Foods I hated before)
200lbs down since feb 2017
That’s amazing MsSarcasticity!!
Donna Warren I love and appreciate Dr. Berry’s work because if I say that a carnivore diet works, people yell at me and say that I’m not qualified to give out health information, so then I just post Dr. Berry and he says the exact same stuff with an MD lol
🙌🙌🙌🙌 Amazing!
Wow, that is great!
The taste-buds thing is an important point. I broke my carnivore diet as an experiment and went back to the Sad American Diet for a few days. In less than a week all of the liver and heart I used to find appetizing is now hard to swallow again. Bottom line: what/how you eat radically modifies taste and satiety!
Thank you for not charging me extra for helping me get my blood sugars back to normal levels.
This is my exact story. For me this carnivore eating plan fixed my A1C, my cholesterol and triglycerides: 4 eggs in 1/4 cup butter with 1/2 pkg of sugar free bacon EVERY DAY for Bfast, steak/meat in bacon grease/butter everyday at 1-2pm. Done!
1 month in and I’ve gone from 173 to 160. My knees feel so much better.
@Terri Musick, the Dr did not mention cheese, did you add in cheese or would that defeat the purpose because your adding more fat??
@@tiam3663 cheese is ok in moderation. Mainly because it can be an unknown allergen. Try to stick with the harder cheeses instead of the soft cheeses.
@@tiam3663 It's best to stay away from cheese at least the first 30 days and then after that maybe add it in and see how you do. Cheese stalls many ppl.

So true
i am having issues with my knee as well. I had imaging done, and there was no bone on bone or arthritis issues. the inside ligament is causing the pain i suspect it is inflammation, that can be helped by a meat diet. I am unsure if there is any thing else to do about it?
@@patriciapeters2152 It can’t hurt to try an all meat diet. After about 3 months you should be able to feel if it does reduce the inflammation to your knees.
@patriciapeters I have inflammatory response to many things and found an all meat diet assisted with the treatment of neuropathy after major back surgery. I am using this approach in hopes of discontinuing medications I have been using for years. I hope you have some relief.
I have been on this EXACT diet for 7 days....I have lost ONE pound a day. I am NOT exercising just doing my regular routine.17/7 fast or 18/6 most days. I eat 2 meals until I am FULL....FULL...meat, sausage and eggs and a little hard cheese...water, tea coffee. I am RARELY hungry. Just stunning to me.
8 weeks ago diagnosed with type2. Number was 240. Today 115 fasting rate at 23 hours. Lost 18.5 lbs so far. Feeling good
How did you start? I'm type 2, numbers in high 300s? Any advice,
A R I started eating protein and low carb veggies. I eat 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. I was afraid I would get hungry. I stated intermittent fasting by not eating after 7 pm till breakfast. Gradually my fast went longer. My need for food decreased so I found myself overtime naturally fasting an average of 22 hours a day and eating one big protein meal and one snack in a 6 hour window. Limited carbs under 20 grams a day.

Hi Dr. Berry! Thanks for your advice. I lost a little over 50 pounds in 2 months. 257 now. I discovered that I had a gut issue that probiotics helped fix. Then the massive weeks of gout attacks. All in all, I am very thankful that my wife referred me to your video. Thanks again!
Was the gout post-BBBE or just in general?

JimL…thanks for asking. I struggled at first and would occasionally have a cookie or banana but I finally decided that I was only hurting myself by doing that and in my mind now I say “that’s poison ☠️ don’t take it” and I have not had a speck of sugar unless it’s hidden in things like my vitamins. Yes, vitamins have some version of sugar 🙄 I am having a keto fat bomb daily to fill a sugar craving and that works. I am fasting and mostly doing OMAD. I have gotten used to it. I need to measure my body to keep track as I am not losing tons of pounds but I am losing inches. Got new clothes that I couldn’t wear before! I was so heavy that you have to lose a ton before anyone else can see it, but people are finally starting to comment and that feels so good 😊
Also…wanted to add… my heart palpitations are gone. 🙌
I feel that at 58 years old I have been lied to.
I started off on my weight loss journey and fitness kick by saying to myself I am going to be fitter and thinner than I have ever been.
I have gone full carnivore and very quickly I lost weigh.
I swim every day even when I don't feel like it and I can't begin to tell you how well I feel.
Once you understand that fats and meat are extremely good for you the weight just melts away and not only that , but it melts away quickly.
Thanks Dr. Berry! I did KETO with Intermittent Fasting eating One Meal a Day (OMAD) from August 2020 to December 2020 and lost 50 pounds. Transitioned to Carnivore January 2021 to present and lost 40, total 90 pounds with no exercise.
What was your starting weight?
Well Done !!!
So, if my math is correct, you lost more in a month on keto than doing carnivore?
Ok. Whatever works!🤷🏽♀️ Congrats 👏
@@TheMerlynb My understanding isn’t that they lost 50 pounds on Keto in about 5 months, then went to the stricter Carnivore for about 5 months and lost an additional 40 pounds. They didn’t state the exact duration or the days of the month that they started and finished on, but it seems like they may have lost about 10 pounds more on Keto. Initial weight does seem to come off easier than when you hit a plateau eventually. Maybe that occurred?

Been doing this for not quite 2 weeks. I cannot tell you the weight loss because I have stayed off the scales. But I was wearing 42 jeans 2 weeks ago and yesterday bought 38s. My BP was OUTRAGEOUS. I know some will say no way but it was averaging 175/95...has been as high as 215/105. In TWO WEEKS it has dropped SIGNIFICANTLY. This morning my wife said "you look 15 years younger". THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEOS.
A general rule of thumb is 8 maybe 9 pounds will cause you to go up or down a size. 42 jeans to 38 if I am not mistaken that is two sizes for men’s sizing, you lost around 16-18 pounds at minimum in two weeks. That is amazing.
Allowing your resting BP to be that high is deadly-dangerous for both numbers, hope you’ve permanently gotten your BP to a healthy number! Eeek!

Works for me very well... when I want to manage and get rid of inflammation, drop body fat, feel energetic and very clear headed ... I do that too
I was never fat or overweight, I’m only 29, but my parents got on this diet from Dr. Berry and haven’t shut up about it. So I tried it, I always work out 4-5 times a week lifting weights, some cardio, some Olympic lifts etc.
I’m about 5 weeks into it , and I gotta say I’ve realized things about my body that were so obvious but I didn’t know until now. I was absolutely more insulin resistant than most people.
I feel so much better as far as mood, I have more energy from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. I’m losing the fat in places that I haven’t ever been able to shred it off of.
I literally have never had visible abdominal muscles until this point in my life and I freaking did it eating bacon?
It makes me mad that this diet is being suppressed in basic weight loss media, it’s so simple, and truly effective within a week it seemed like.
Similar story for me, im a skinny body type but I am now almost on week two and my abs are showing for the first time in my life. Even the veins on my forehaed are coming through, and my mental clarity is way up. My breath hardly smells at all in the mornings. Im in tune with what my body needs
So basically carnivore?
Suppressed because there is too much money to loose if everyone all of a sudden get healthy!

Just found this. I wanted an elimination diet and my body wanted meat. Two werks in and I'm feeling fabulous. Not doing this for weight loss, but health.The fat loss is a bonus!
I started keto May 2018. After a few months I could go upstairs easily and even run them. I could lift stuff better and do other physical activities easier. This was during doing NO time at the gym but some walking and had little weight to lose. I’m 70 yo woman and this state of improved physicality was noticeable and now I realize it was the muscle sparing effects of keto. Wow. It works. I’m never really tired except for the workout tired feeling I love. Try it, people. I feel fabulous inside and out. 😀😀. Well fed too. Not hungry. NO energy crashes
You are an amazing role model! Thanks for the inspiration! I've been playing with primal, keto, carnivore for years now and I'm still learning how my body works/responds...my biggest problem is sugar addiction, just the tiniest amount puts me into a (sickening) tailspin!.... then I start over...Again!
Congratulations - that's awesome! I've lost over 60 pounds and now run up and down our stairs as opposed to the very slow pain filled way I used to go up and down them. I am no longer in pain and my knee arthritis is completely gone. I used to need cortisone shots in my knees every 6 months to prevent them from getting fluid filled (had to get them drained back then as well.) I have been on Keto for over 1 1/2 years now and my arthritis has never returned! :)

@@themandigirl Pork chops do not have quite as much nutrition as beef, but is not bad. The major downside is they are probably too lean. If you cook them in a quality oil like lard, tallow, ghee, etc. and smother the chop in real butter, you should be good. I would mix some beef in here and there though.
Doing this since March 21. Lost 30 and would like to lose 20 more. Feel good and not missing all the crap I was eating before. Keep up your good work!
One month progress results for me: feeling great and down 16.5 lbs.
Lost 20 pounds in a couple weeks. Went back to my addiction when I started stressing 😢 so i know what’s the real problem. Starting back over not going back to the Carbs they’re killing me! This definitely works. I’m going to stick with it until I kick my sugar addiction all the way

I've been a person who struggles with weight loss for many years. I will give this a try and never done the carnivore diet before. I will start tomorrow and come back on an update in a month. I currently weight 290lbs. Wish me luck.
If his directions are followed then you'd lose a lot of weight.
Go girl! Good luck beautiful being xxx777 💕🌹💕
Any luck with the diet?😃😃
It’s been a month. How did it go?
@crystalu how are you doing so far?
I lost 20 pounds the first 30 days!
Can you tell me your meal plan?
Been on Keto six months now and I’ve lost 50 pounds… started at 198 pounds and I couldn’t agree more! Intermittent fasting certainly helps!
That is fantastic Lady Chris!!! I am at your starting weight..did you count net or whole carbs? Did you exercise?
@@amymay2442 count your totals carbs, not "net". I started at 220 lbs, and went to 154 lbs by keeping my carbs to 20 grams a day, IT (intermittent fasting), and OMAD (one meal a day). And I binged on Dr Berry videos. Best wishes.
@@monicacollins8289 Thank you so much for your reply Monica! I am for sure going to count my whole carbs..I think that will be more beneficial for me and my weight loss journey :)
@@monicacollins8289 how long it took you and did you exercise?
@@nancyissa4781 Thanks for asking. It took me about nine months. First I learned what not to eat, then learned OMAD and IT. I also discovered that Bragg's apple cider vinegar is a magic bullet for weight loss. I didn't exercise, but as I progressed I became more naturally active because I could do so without pain. At the 50 lb mark, I climbed Mt. Konocti with my daughter, and the following month was in a 5K obstacle course with my granddaughters. I was 65 at the time. And I went from size 16/18 jeans to size 8. No more bloat, acid reflux, joint pain, carb binges, and avoiding socializing. I hope this helps and encourages you.
I’m 59, I started following Dr Berry and his guest speakers for a little over a year now. I was 290-298 and this morning I weighed in at 240. In just I had a Life Scan Physical and blood work done. All levels are in normal range -Finally!! My Chronic Fatty Lover is now borderline sever, and looking much better according to the scan. Testosterone is over 500 and I feel energetic and the clothes in my closet fit for the first time in many years! Some I had to replace as they were no longer in style- To YOU- Do It, Do It NOW!
I can not say how grateful I am Dr. Berry :)!!! Started this style of eating two weeks ago. As a full time worker AND student I have never felt so focused and without a brain-fog which made my studies much harder. And I am FINALLY on my way to a six-pack. Thank you a thousand times :D!!!
Update 15.09.
I am now in the middle of my first 72 hour fast, half way through and feeling really good :). I have even trained already two times after starting my fast, no problem at all, may a bit slower, but feeling fine.
How's it going
@@KJV1776WASP This week I had my first 36 hour fast and it was actually funny :), next week I want to make a 48 hour fast. I consumed a lot of green and herbal tea as well as ginger water with lemon which was in fact quite satiating.
I'm one month into my 3 month experiment. So far I've healed my Baker's cyst, chronic bone and muscle pain, lost 2+ inches off my waist, have crazy energy and mental clarity and even a better attitude about life! I prayed and prayed for almost 2 years to be healed. Finally I prayed to be shown how to heal myself and BOOM!! Carnivore OMAD ftw!! I've tried literally everything else.
He’s the one guy who makes sense in my head. So thankful for him and I prayed also. He is our answer to prayers!
@@janicewalters9665 Agreed! I just recommended his book to my chiro. :)
Amen, me to...been praying and was led out of nowhere to his wife and then him .....binge watching. Thank you Jesus
@@angelagrant2943 Stick to it, friend! I'm almost through the 90 days now and I've lost many inches, I'm stronger, and I feel so much better. Pretty sure I'm going to stick with it. I ate 5 tortilla chips and got the worst earache of my life for 2 hours! It's crazy, but now I can experiment and find out what hurts me. It's such a blessing!
How are your..ahem...bowels?
2 weeks in . . . . you have taken the chronic out of my pain. :-) Please don't ever stop sending this message. When I think of the global issues and consequences . . . . (I'm 63 and that's a recent pic of me).
Thank you, I'm new to the carnivore diet. This is my 12 day I feel amazing not bloated and losing weight.
You and Dr Berg are my parents now
Hahahaha...
Which one of them is your Mother?
Aahhaaaaaahaaaaa, mine too!!!👍🥰🌟
@@LueezBee007 hahahah 😂😂😂😂😂
😀😂🤣
Thank you doctor berry. You have helped me loose fat that I never thought that I would loose...!
* lose *
Wow! I needed this today. After 18 months of keto and being “stuck” I am ready to do this! Thank you Dr Berry!
How did you go?
This diet is keto
@@bluevanity2154 the only difference is this restricts ALL carbs. Keto allows a very small amount if you want, no more than 20 grams
L ml no no llllkkmm)//ll in
Beef/lamb/bacon eggs butter salt, tea water only 1 month 1 or 2 meals a day within a 6hr window only. No sweetner, No carbs
Basically intermittent fasting along with cutting the carbs 30-90 days.
It seems to me it’s different than just keto because of the focus on lots of fat. Sure keto wants lots of fat, but the proportions of fat on this diet are higher still. I believe that’s why it doesn’t include things like chicken or fish.
Yes that’s it. I cut out carbs 12 months and intermittent fastin for 11 months and lost 135 pounds.
@@MargieSchneider that's because fats go to the skin and muscles and signals growth hormones, which tells the body to burn stored fat. It is not absorbed into the current fat stores due to omad fasting which is the second part of this diet. Also for so many who keep asking in case they see this, vegetables are ok to eat as well, just stay away from fruits.
Is this like Adkins?
@@nancydegrassi5151 Adkins extreme.
Just started cv diet 25 days ago and have lost 11 lbs. I'm convinced it's working for me and will continue at least 65 more days. Thank you Doctor Berry. 😎👍🏻
Intermittent Fasting with Keto or Carnivore are amazing weight loss hack! Almost 2 yrs in and I just love it! Can't preach it enough!
I was just about to post this question. I have a lot of weight to lose (200lbs) is this as achievable on Carnivore as Keto?
@@sunkat76 100% Yes! 127 down so far! 65 more to go for my goal! :]
Being on keto for 2 yrs did you experience any hormonal imbalance with regards to your monthly cycle and any hair loss or hair thinning for that matter.
@@nausheenmasood6189 I did for a short time. The hair loss was due to eating too few calories over an extended time though. Once I upped my calories (above 1200 a day) my hair all grew back. I have an IUD so I didn't have a period before I started keto, now I do for a few days a month. (I didnt really want that back, but I see how this diet is great for women trying to have a baby)
Thanks!
Went from 236 to 213 in January 2022. Daily carbs less than 15 gms and 18 hr fast. Took a break x1 wk to prevent thyroid down regulation no regains and will hit it again to get under 200. Pickle juice helps electrolytes replacement
On March 31 I weighed 240 lbs I cut out all sugar went low carbs. I dropped down to 213lbs got stuck went into IF went down to 209 got stuck went into 16 8 IF and dropped to 199lbs on May 26th.and I ate like this DR said
Fantastic!!
Did u gain the weight back?
@@docharris6608 no the weight is still coming off but at alittle slower rate
How has your blood work been if u did have it tested before u started ur weight loss
Congrats on the weight loss and thank you for sharing your success. So we're not allowed to eat vegetables? Simply stick with exactly what Dr. Berry said, and no condiments or spices either?
Been on this Carnivore/Keto diet now for 3 weeks. Got my blood work results back. Red Blood cells were healthy. Liver & Kidney enzymes were “perfect” (doctors words). Triglycerides were at healthy levels. My HDL & LDL Cholesterol was also “perfect” and I have no trace of Diabetes at all.
Oh, and I dropped 12 lbs! Thanks Dr Berry!!!
Are you still doing well on the Carnivore diet?
Yes. I went from 362 lb down to 301. Still feeling great and no more stomach bloat at all. I’m going in for another blood work at the end of July.
@@robjohnson212 That's awesome! If you are willing, I'd love to hear how your blood work turns out. I'm a nurse and this diet is so far removed from my nutrition teaching. Even so, I've done keto, so I do tend to go against the grain. :)
@@susanb4213 Absolutely. I'm happy to post my results. I'll should get them the last week of July when I go in for my blood draw. Off topic but I also give 1 Pint of blood every 90 days. Been doing that consistently for the last 2 years.
I just ran into the bbbe challenge this morning already have my grocery list going. I'm going to do this! Ive been stuck for over a year now matter what I've done. I gave up all sugar all grains and no snacks. This helped my binge eating like a miracle but I didn't really lose weight. Thanks Doc
Takes time! Keep going- you can do this!!
I found dr.Berry and switched from.9 yrs whole food plsnt based to carnivore next day
, triggeringvsn xenobiotic obsenegen dupping of toxins in less then 6 days!!! Sizec22 to a size 2-4 by day. 4 REAL!!!
Can you drink alcoholic beverages
How has it been going for you?
No
You are extremely enlightened Dr. Berry, I lost 65 lbs in 12 weeks on this diet. That was 1994, time to lose it again!!
Wow were you exercising too how much how long? Were you fasting as he mentions to in the video
@@Awholeadult what exercise? in case you are totally clueless, a high-protein/low carb diet will burn stored fats with nothing more than daily routines. The most exercise I did was walking the length of Atlanta/Hartsfied Int'l Airport 2-3 times a day on my job
@@grumpydudebryant name checks out. Okay Grumpy
I have lost 116 pounds by using 10 different diet programs . every week I would change my program , but this carnivore program is my favorite program. I am never hungry and I have lost weight on it.
Can you name the programs you've done?
@@simplesandy please whats your program
I just want to say after dabbling into keto that I have been on this diet for a little over a month and since I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in mid-march of this year I have lost 33 pounds. I feel absolutely fantastic and it's all thanks to you and your wonderful advice and knowledge
Awesome! Please share your story with the world because so many diabetics jjust don’t know!
@@KenDBerryMD absolutely spreading the word to anyone I meet now
Thank I am one of the Diabetics will try.
I love meat so I think is a no brainer I don’t have to count anything.
I did not hear anything about fruits, vegetables, cheese, MCT oil, and different butters example almond.
@@mwadiyakin-malebo4135 Root vegetables and fruit are a no go. So potatoes are included. Fats, greens, proteins. That's really it.
@@mwadiyakin-malebo4135 nut butters like almond butter are very high in omega 6, inflammatory, so should not be eaten much if at all.
3 years late... but am here... now 6 weeks into keto/OMAD... eating all the goodies and fat....incredible...unbelievable....
no carbs, no sugar.... lost 30 pounds ... and sugar level almost back to normal....
love preparing all that food.....love shopping for food....I live at the Med....

Thanks
*Thank you*
👍👍 Been working for me.
@old dude #7 not really...you will be burning the fat...not building it up nor storing..
What about pork?
Fully agree on the sugar/carb addiction.
I can conquer it if I go cold turkey.
After about 3 days, I don't crave either
nearly as much as the first day.
The key is also to having handy the
right alternatives as called out in the
video by the doc!
I'm on day 5 of this weight loss hack, and I'm down 12 lbs (I have a lot to lose), and once I got over the hump, I'm feeling great. This has caused me to come head to head with my emotional eating... I didn't realize how much I ate due to emotions and not true hunger until I couldn't eat for 18 hours in a day... Totally do not feel deprived on this plan... I am just being forced to handle my emotions in a healthier way... And that's a very good thing. Thank you so much for your videos. I find them so helpful, and I share them with my family and friends.
How are you? Any updates?
@@liyacarolyn6055 thank you for your message. I'm currently not following the plan (which I hate, because the plan works so beautifully) due to taking a financial hit. In my neck of the woods, one family package of chicken (with the skin on) costs about $16. I never felt so good energy wise and health wise than when I was following this eating plan. On a positive note, I'm starting therapy to help work through the emotional eating issues at a local low cost clinic. I've found that when I was doing the diet, my incidents of anxiety attacks and depression lessened greatly. Any suggestions on how to do this diet cheaply (even hot dogs near me cost $6 / pack unless on sale), I'm all ears. I'm even considering relocating for financial reasons. Anything to be able to get back on this diet, because it was soooo working for me.
That's whay I'm doing right now and I'm sick of it, but then you'd think of quit, right?
angelsiren319 congratulations how’s it going now I just started 10/1/19 going good so far and hoping to see results I’m insulin resistance and thyroids too 🤦♀️
How can so many people eat so much meat and don't feel sick !?? I just can't do it :(( when i was a tren and în my 20s i used to eat more meat, but now I'm down to 3 times or less per week. When i eat more meat my blood pressure goes up, i'm nervos, more aggressive and unhappy/moody. I know this sounds weird to meat lovers, i do like meat, but my body hates it.. And let's not forget the amount of added amount of growth hormones în the meat these days, unhealthy when you think about it
Remember that as much as you want is not the same as, as much as you can.
It really doesn't matter. Doctor can explain why.
@@Christineeve From my own experience as much as i can didn't help me none
I agree. While eating as much as you want is a good way to wean off carb cravings at the beginning, after a while, you should be content with less food. For older folks, I think 3 meals a day is just too much opportunity to overeat, so 2 or 1 meals is a good goal to strive for. Also reprogramming oneself to permit salt again takes a while to implement, because the extra salt can help curb the appetite.
I've found the keto diet requires more diligence on maintaining electrolytes. So I've taken up the habit of using No Salt (potassium chloride) in equal proportion to regular salt (Real Salt) to keep potassium up. While I used to think that taking calcium was what was necessary to prevent muscle cramps, I find it takes mental diligence to keep taking magnesium and potassium to prevent cramping. To some degree, I think that the benefits of coffee are overblown a bit, because coffee is an anti-electrolyte, and so if you drink a lot of coffee, you need to drink a lot of electrolytes to make up for what the coffee drains out of you. I don't know what to think about black tea.
I also have a theory that one should be taking cod liver oil regularly when eating lower quality beef which might be quite high in omega6/omega3. This is because the cod liver oil has 100% omega 3. So try to rebalance the ratio a bit if you can.
@@BelCantoLari that works, I would say from personal experience of omad its slightly passed satiety. But that's me though.
It did not meatter ,maybe at first no ,but it did matter ,that way atkins fail even he was on good track
Something weird happened on this carnivore diet my eyesight improved I could see 83 m opposed to the 20 m I needed to see a number plate on a car to drive legally. My prescription on my glasses stopped working properly and I had to take them off off to see. my long vision really improved but my short Vision got a lot worse this was after two weeks and then I broke my fast and started eating sweets for for 5-days and carbohydrates and my eyesight went back to what it was before needing my glasses again so I've started this carnivore diet Again 3 days ago and I'm looking forward in two weeks to get in my better eyesight back I will stick to it from now on.
Inflammation can mess with eyesight in some people. (Me as an example) when my health drops and I suffer from inflammation in the body my vision decreases and I have to rely on my reading glasses more and more. The better my health is and absence or minimisation of inflammation my eye sight returns to 20/20 and usually above average. Sounds like a similar thing is happening for you.
When my blood sugars improved from around 9 to mid-6 level (IF and mainly LCHF -- not yet carnivore) my eyesight definitely improved -- so much so I needed to change prescription. But as Jayne mentions, my vision quality does fluctuate I think with inflammation too.
I’ve heard other people say the same thing.
😭
That's crazy! When I was in the middle of keto last year, I quickly lost 20 lbs, but it looked like a lot more, because somehow or other, it slightly changes your body shape...especially the abdomen. My energy was greatly improved and my eyesight was stable, but since veering off, my energy level is way down and my eyesight is way worse. I've started back and want to stay on track this time! Keep up the good work!
