Great information!!! You can gain weight as a carnivore if you’re eating too much dairy and/or snacking in between meals. Exercise is beneficial even if it’s just a 10 minute walk after your meals. Keep track of your protein and fat ratio to make sure you are getting enough. There’s a lot of information out there to help you.
Excellent, clear explanation Ben. My personal experience totally confirms everything you laid out. Low fat diets made me ravenously hunger. I felt like I would kill for food. At some point, I would always go off the low fat diet, binge eat, and gain back any weight that I had lost. With a diet that is very low in carb diet and mostly fatty meats, fasting is amazingly easy. On the one hand, I miss the pleasure of eating, but on the other hand, I am burning my belly fat, I save time on shopping, cooking and cleaning, and I save money. Well worth the self-discipline.
@@Ranch-girl At the beginning, I ate a lot of food - ribs with broccoli and melted butter; seafood with mayonnaise, cucumber, and tomato; sausage, avocado, olives, cherry tomatoes, and celery; berries with cream, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds; and similar meals. After about a week, I finished my dinner around 6 PM on Monday, fasted all day Tuesday, and ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Wednesday. Then I fasted until breakfast on Friday. And so on. So, yes, I cut my calories in half by eating one day and fasting the next day. I like this method because it is very flexible when it comes to social situations like anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, weddings, company picnics, etc. I just eat that day and fast the next day; no big deal. As I mentioned above, once you get used to burning fat the hunger totally changes. Instead of feeling ravenous, I just notice that my stomach is empty. After about 20 minutes, the sensation goes away. I went from 240 pounds to 170 pounds in about nine months.
Dr Bikman, thank you for addressing Diet Doctor. I tried this and it didn't work for me. I was hungry sooner and was back to calorie counting. I focus instead on fasting, and when I eat i prioritize protein. That is working well. Diet doctor has pretty much fallen off the map ever since Dr Scher left.
I can’t stand his religious references. He uses a manipulation tactic called “fauxpology.” It’s so passive aggressive and takes away from his scientific expertise.
@Jupiter_Crash I haven't personally found his religious beliefs get in the way of how he shares his wealth of knowledge with precision and accuracy, even though he has referred to being religious at times. If that's part of his identity, then it's not surprising he would bring it up from time to time. It doesn't bother me but won't disregard how it might make you feel.

Is it good, or helpful, to ask a long question, then to interrupt the answer after just a short time to give lots of personal justification of the question? It seems that the interviewer is not really listening, especially when the answer isn't what he wants. He says he likes to be disagreed with, but he doesnt show it.
I disagree with the critique of others on the interviewer. This was a conversation and i appreciate it. The long questions were just as i would have conversed with Dr Ben.
True. I gained weight on carnivore. Too much calories, not enough excersize. Increased excersize reversed this trend, plus leaner meat and lower volume of meat.
You should have continued even though you were gaining weight. If you were truly eating only high fat/protein, your body was using it where it was needed and you would have eventually started losing weight. That is, if you NEED to lose weight!!
High fat carnivore fixed so many ailments for me, even that keto didn't. I'm happy it works for me, and frankly, animal foods taste great. It's easy to stick to for me. Veggies have never been my thing. I do miss ice cream and candy though. I cannot over-eat on carnivore, unless I eat cheese. So for me, the calorie aspect of it is kinda nill on this way of eating. Whole fruits makes insulin high though. I wouldn't recommend to people trying to lose weight. Also calories are not a thing for humans. Calories are a measurement of heat burning. We're not combustible machines. I would highly disregard calories at all. It doesn't apply to humans. I really enjoy Anthony Chaffee's explanation of this in "You DON'T Need To Count Calories | What To Do Instead... 👉" If you need to count calories and moderate then you're not eating right for your current metabolic health.
+1 on that. For the record nowadays I call carnivore a MIRACLE! Yes, with capital letter. 🙂 Edit: I guess it's worth mention that I also do OMAD. Both "tools" are an amazing path to health. Cheers.
Excellent discussion. Very informative. I had just completed listening to an audio book called The Constant Glucose Revolution. This presentation basically validated and confirmed what Dr. Paul Kolodzik shared. Counting carbohydrate is essential and counting calories less important. Keeping your Blood Sugar stable is essential. Basically under 99 mg/dl. All of this knowledge along with the other audio book the Glucose Revolution was a trifecta. Thanks Yvonne
Few to no TH-camrs who discuss Keto and Carnivore warn about Keto snack processed cookies, bars, cups, you name it. All such products have too many carbs. But ah...on their packages, banners convince us that "net carbs" are really low, even if total carbs are too high. Happily, some start to slow, then stop after spending their first few months on Keto. That was me - I eventually, after a long time of use, started to cut down and down to fewer and fewer of such treats, as I was also indulging in fewer and fewer cheat days and cheat meals. When I found the first vid where the host said to ignore the "net carbs" and use total carbs - It was Dr. Westman, I think, who was the first one - it led to dropping them entirely. Please consider this, all.
I'm with you sister. It's so hard. Just stick with it. You'll still be your healthiest self and sometimes our body needs healing before it'll drop weight. Good luck! I'm just starting so we'll see what happens. Menopause and Hashimoto's makes it difficult but those two things make my insulin resistant big time!
Ladies, please make sure to dump all the processed food and poisonous veggie oils/margarine, carbs... Also dump fruits and vegetables. Generally all that is absolute "crap". 0 (zero) fiber is absolutely amazing! ;-) If on carnivore, which I would really advise. A good dosage of fat (ex. butter, lard, tallow, suet) is not only advisable, it's absolutely fundamental. Remember 80/20, with 80 being fat and 20 the protein! Yep. Might shock some, after decades of demonizing animal fat! Another "tool" to consider is intermittent fasting, an amazing, simple, cheap and extremely effective tool. ;-) Just for example, I do OMAD. And tend to break my fast in the afternoon, with a rather decent chunk of salted butter! The most basic and simple butter I can find, without carotene or anything else other than the added salt. Make sure to use iodine added salt. And additional iodine would be a priority. ;-) Be well, Cheers
I feel you! My doctor has me taking levothyroxin and added liothyroxine and I am feeling better than I have in years! Appetite is down and energy is up. I have lost a bit of weight and just getting into low carb and fasting. Highly recommend the combo if you are struggling.
you stop eating foods that raise insulin: carbohydrates. Mainly those that are highly processed such as anything with flour (bread, cookies, cake, crackers, tortillas, pizza, subs, etc.), starchy carbs such as pasta, potatoes and rice, and of course, sweets. Fruit should be reduced to only the berries as they have the most antioxidants with the lowest sugar content. Carbohydrates are not essential for life so drastically cut the processed ones from your diet. Green veggies are your safest bet as they are low carbs with high vitamin levels. 👍 35:05
Are you menopausal? If so, I think it’s harder to lose weight because the gut’s microbiome has completely changed. At least this is my problem. For the past four years I have taken sugar out of my diet and I eat no refined carbs. My insulin is on the low side. I still can’t seem to lose the 30 pounds I gained in perimenopause. Now I’m trying to just heal my gut to see if that helps. Before my hormones changed, I was on the thin side. Now my body is completely different.
I lost over sixty pounds in three months by first going Keto, then Keto OMAD and after not feeling hungry one evening I did a thirty day water fast. Now, after some years I lost fifteen more pounds. I eat mostly meat two Times a day, one at noon and one at midnight. I eat until I am really full. I have no cravings and I keep my weigth. And my health with 65 is better than before.
My HDL / Trig ratio is 0.53 But I gained weight with 0 or no carbs, and I still have inflamation on top of 30lbs that I don't need. I have to be insulin resistant, or else I would loose that weight. So the low ratio doesn't mean that my insulin is under any control.
I followed this bc, one night I didnt have time to prepare my snacks for the movies and ate a pack of m&m peanuts after adhering to low carb and IF, it took 3 whole days to process that carb load and I felt terribly! 😢 Now, if I dont have time to pre-plan my movie snacks, I won't go. I am inhabit of breaking fast with a lil cheese and yogurt and hour before my meal.
Ugh , I just have to stop listening to Dru. It’s me, me, me. While I appreciate his knowledge, I tuned in to hear Dr. Bikman whose advice is more for all of us. 😢

Fasting insulin is one test. What about your heart do you want to test? Or can you specify with a timestamp in the video where they are referencing the test you want?
@@Jupiter_Crash I don’t know enough about what specific tests for health, heart and insulin to ask for. I’m going to my heart dr for a yearly checkup and want to know what tests to ask for
@@gregbryant1458 - ask for Cardiac iQ. It’s an in depth analysis of your cholesterol numbers including sdLDL particle size, ApoB, Lp(a), arterial inflammation, c reactive protein, and more. If you have any family history or concern about coronary arterial disease you can ask for a CAC (coronary artery calcium.) This is a quick CT scan of your heart and a great baseline to have. CAC are typically inexpensive so if your insurance won’t pay you can ask your doctor to request one and pay out of pocket. Let me know if you have anymore questions. I recommend writing down everything you want and your concerns so you don’t forget anything in the short time you have with your doctor.
@@gregbryant1458 - if your doctor doesn’t think you need any of this or your insurance won’t cover them but you research them and think they are important you can also go online and order the blood work yourself. I think the CAC requires a Dr. referral but the bloodwork doesn’t.
I have to disagree because I went in to this at a 14 a1c and lost plenty of weight...the people who gain weight inevitably and across the board don't follow the diet as designed
Conventional "wisdom" might tell you so. BUT that's a lie and a myth. Cut the ADDICTIVE carbs And make a proper Human diet. I.e. Carnivore. And your "moderation" will return as the body was designed for. On a proper diet the body will tell you when to stop. Something that do not happen on carbs and processed food. Shall we say Oops! ;-)
What I found, that I knew from the beginning was fat will make you Fat. The distinction is are you complete and though in your muscle development women and men, boys, or girls. If one is sedentary and everything is in the proper state of health that Im describing and more Fat than needed will add on. If one is a body builder and wants to shred they can eat more protein without and usually have no transference of energy into fat. But if someone most middle aged people, and mostly sedentary that has stored body fat and eat too much of what most carnivore Dr. Prescribe in a ratio of fat they definitely will stall or not lose fat at all. If the history of a person who has high insulin resistance for a long time then they usually will gain fat because of sustained insulin and will have to adjust accordingly. (Fat will make you fat) if the conditions aren't right. Lastly all of them, all of them, so-called authorities Are full of SHIT on what they have been shouting to the moon don't basically worry about the fat well fk them they directed a lot of people to not lose fat. This particular fat paradigm is only becoming understood now .Baker Chaffee Bart Ken Berry and more "didn't know what they were talking about. There is so much more I just didn't feel to articulate about with this subject. I along with way too many were mislead by the Not experts but so called experts.
Totally agree! I'm healthy and nut fat but I want to heal my body so started my carnivore journey 4 months ago and I never felt better. My focus has become sharper, bloating is gone, energy levels are high, I'm sleeping much better, mood has improved a lot and my bloating is gone! No going back to my old way of eating!
@@RojaJaneman - Absurdly WRONG! Tip: Try it. It's that simple a month or two, of serious trial Will make you come here and correct your statement in a jiffy. LOL 🙂
And be hungry, and also miserable??? I lost 25% of my starting weight after going low carb and not starving myself and only stretching and strengthening and light hand weights because I have back and knee issues; I have a sedentary lifestyle. I went low carb to remit my diabetes and have become metabolically healthy. Amazing that just by cutting the carbs I am now healthier than I have been in the last 35 years.
For god sake people, it’s not insulin! Unless you are in full ketosis, your body runs on glucose. The food you eat almost always has all the three macronutrients. What happens in the normal state of metabolism is that your body burns the glucose or stores the excess as glycogen and given most people eat in caloric surplus, your body will store the dietary fat as body fat and that’s how you gain weight. You can simply test this hypothesis by eating all the carbs you like and keep the fat intake as low as 10 to 30g per day. Go test this for yourself. You can also study a textbook called “High Carb Fat Loss by Rusty Moore” that is a short and sharp textbook and has all the references to studies you want. Please don’t be fooled by these speeches. Go and test it for yourself.
Oh my gosh....do NOT believe R Moore! So dangerous . I found out hard way. Nearly killed me.... it truly IS insulin and why so many have truly found that zero carb has remarkably improved all health markers. Age 65 and over last 4 year of zero carb ... reversed T2 diabetes, lost 80 lbs, zero brain fog , energy thru the roof and excellent labs. Moore's book is garbage and people will find that by the time they reach their 60s will have truly trained their health. Carbs lead to so metabolic problems including dementia.
For Christ sake, so much dogmatic ignorance. Remember to get back in here in some years to correct that statement. ;-) BTW Nowadays I call carnivore a MIRACLE. Yes, with capital letter. Not from a dogmatic book. But from the amazing changes of my well beaten. More than half a century body.🙂
This guy must never research too hard when it comes to finding protein without fats and nature yeah but herd of people eating so much rabbit they die of low fat intake?? rabbits, are extremely low in fat

Dhru shut up! I didn't come here to listen to your long winded monologues. I wanted to hear Dr. Bikman more.
Let the guest speak
If I’m having blood work done, can someone please tell me the test that I should have to check my heart and my insulin?
Fasting insulin is one test. What about your heart do you want to test? Or can you specify with a timestamp in the video where they are referencing the test you want?
@@gregbryant1458 check out Dr. Ken Berry videos on what test to get. Good luck!
@@Jupiter_Crash I don’t know enough about what specific tests for health, heart and insulin to ask for. I’m going to my heart dr for a yearly checkup and want to know what tests to ask for
@@gregbryant1458 - ask for Cardiac iQ. It’s an in depth analysis of your cholesterol numbers including sdLDL particle size, ApoB, Lp(a), arterial inflammation, c reactive protein, and more. If you have any family history or concern about coronary arterial disease you can ask for a CAC (coronary artery calcium.) This is a quick CT scan of your heart and a great baseline to have. CAC are typically inexpensive so if your insurance won’t pay you can ask your doctor to request one and pay out of pocket. Let me know if you have anymore questions. I recommend writing down everything you want and your concerns so you don’t forget anything in the short time you have with your doctor.
@@gregbryant1458 - if your doctor doesn’t think you need any of this or your insurance won’t cover them but you research them and think they are important you can also go online and order the blood work yourself. I think the CAC requires a Dr. referral but the bloodwork doesn’t.
Awesome interview. No cereals for me. 😂
Please son check your ego....you have all these great guests. Especially Ben and all you ever do is wanna talk about yourself .
I have 65 triglycerides , my Dr wants me to for a test and depending on the results he will.put me on stating 😢
Statins will raise blood sugar, but most docs will not tell you that. If you do decide to take a statin also take CoQ10 supplement
I am not do statins.
I have to disagree because I went in to this at a 14 a1c and lost plenty of weight...the people who gain weight inevitably and across the board don't follow the diet as designed
I can’t get through this, and Ben is my favourite health professional. Too much fluff and chatter.
Who has almost 3 hours to listen to this?
Its like listening to the radio. Get on with your day , with it playing in the background and your ears will listen to interesting stuff. 😅
@@anyat686 I listen on my commute to and from work. I just pick up where I left off just like with my audio books.
can we please just hear Dr.Bikman?
Would love to see The Biggest Loser run by Dr B
Who edits this stuff? Not having timestamps is pure amateur.
beans have protien but no fat
And massive carbs~no good
And not all the amino acids, so it's an incomplete protein source.
Beans are considered a carb.
Bags Boxes and Barcodes Beware
Is there something in here about losing visceral fat? I'm 20 minutes in and glazed over.
Lower sugar and carbs to bring insulin down
@@intuitivediane Thank you.
Do HIIT program like sprint combine w/ ketogenic diet. Check Dr Sean Omara for visceral fat burning .
You may watch dr. sean o’mara podcasts: it is specially on visceral fat.
😊
@@elenakomuves4017 not doing no carb, but thanks
Host babbled too long
a lot of people can't moderate their intake of calories so it's no use
Conventional "wisdom" might tell you so. BUT that's a lie and a myth. Cut the ADDICTIVE carbs And make a proper Human diet. I.e. Carnivore. And your "moderation" will return as the body was designed for.
On a proper diet the body will tell you when to stop. Something that do not happen on carbs and processed food.
Shall we say Oops! ;-)
What I found, that I knew from the beginning was fat will make you Fat. The distinction is are you complete and though in your muscle development women and men, boys, or girls. If one is sedentary and everything is in the proper state of health that Im describing and more Fat than needed will add on. If one is a body builder and wants to shred they can eat more protein without and usually have no transference of energy into fat. But if someone most middle aged people, and mostly sedentary that has stored body fat and eat too much of what most carnivore Dr. Prescribe in a ratio of fat they definitely will stall or not lose fat at all. If the history of a person who has high insulin resistance for a long time then they usually will gain fat because of sustained insulin and will have to adjust accordingly. (Fat will make you fat) if the conditions aren't right. Lastly all of them, all of them, so-called authorities Are full of SHIT on what they have been shouting to the moon don't basically worry about the fat well fk them they directed a lot of people to not lose fat. This particular fat paradigm is only becoming understood now .Baker Chaffee Bart Ken Berry and more "didn't know what they were talking about. There is so much more I just didn't feel to articulate about with this subject. I along with way too many were mislead by the Not experts but so called experts.
Carnivore diet. That's it.
No thanks. It’s not proven yet.
Totally agree! I'm healthy and nut fat but I want to heal my body so started my carnivore journey 4 months ago and I never felt better. My focus has become sharper, bloating is gone, energy levels are high, I'm sleeping much better, mood has improved a lot and my bloating is gone! No going back to my old way of eating!
@@RojaJanemanBy who? Scientists? LOL
@@lillian3890 by time. Once a generation has experimented on itself and there’s data, then there’s a chance. Not before.
@@RojaJaneman - Absurdly WRONG!
Tip: Try it. It's that simple a month or two, of serious trial Will make you come here and correct your statement in a jiffy. LOL 🙂
I often hear people saying we should aim for a caloric deficit..................
No, no and NO...😉
And be hungry, and also miserable??? I lost 25% of my starting weight after going low carb and not starving myself and only stretching and strengthening and light hand weights because I have back and knee issues; I have a sedentary lifestyle. I went low carb to remit my diabetes and have become metabolically healthy. Amazing that just by cutting the carbs I am now healthier than I have been in the last 35 years.
Why is the host babbling about himself instead of interviewing the expert? Sheesh
protien in beans does not come with fat
It’s also not very useable and is a poor source of protein.
For god sake people, it’s not insulin! Unless you are in full ketosis, your body runs on glucose. The food you eat almost always has all the three macronutrients. What happens in the normal state of metabolism is that your body burns the glucose or stores the excess as glycogen and given most people eat in caloric surplus, your body will store the dietary fat as body fat and that’s how you gain weight. You can simply test this hypothesis by eating all the carbs you like and keep the fat intake as low as 10 to 30g per day. Go test this for yourself. You can also study a textbook called “High Carb Fat Loss by Rusty Moore” that is a short and sharp textbook and has all the references to studies you want. Please don’t be fooled by these speeches. Go and test it for yourself.
Oh my gosh....do NOT believe R Moore! So dangerous . I found out hard way. Nearly killed me.... it truly IS insulin and why so many have truly found that zero carb has remarkably improved all health markers. Age 65 and over last 4 year of zero carb ... reversed T2 diabetes, lost 80 lbs, zero brain fog , energy thru the roof and excellent labs. Moore's book is garbage and people will find that by the time they reach their 60s will have truly trained their health. Carbs lead to so metabolic problems including dementia.
@JeffEmmersonSocialWork Keep eating like that until you realise otherwise. I hope it won’t be too late by then 🤞🏻
@JeffEmmersonSocialWork Laugh mate! Been there! 😃 One day you will be furious at yourself! 👍
For Christ sake, so much dogmatic ignorance. Remember to get back in here in some years to correct that statement. ;-)
BTW Nowadays I call carnivore a MIRACLE. Yes, with capital letter.
Not from a dogmatic book. But from the amazing changes of my well beaten. More than half a century body.🙂
This guy must never research too hard when it comes to finding protein without fats and nature yeah but herd of people eating so much rabbit they die of low fat intake?? rabbits, are extremely low in fat
What does this even mean?? Rabbits? 😂
