My Grandmother lived to 101 years old. Doctors kept telling her she shouldnt drink so much coffee but she didnt care. She drank 2 cups in the morning instead of eating breakfast, she had 2 cups with lunch and 1 cup with dnner. So she drank a lot of coffee and really she fasted without realizing it since she didnt eat breakfast. So my take away is drink coffee and maybe you'll live to 101 also! By the way she was healthy and was tap dancing until 94 years old. Unfortunately Covid took her life but I believe she would of lived a few more years.
Covid or the vax?
Neither. Old age did it
@Shwa44 Yes, she was very old, and no one lives forever. However, she was extremely healthy. She got covid, and within days, she died. Just like it killed people I knew in their 50s. My 1st post was just to say I don't believe coffee is bad for you and not debating if covid or the shot is worse than the other.
Thank you for sharing about your grandma. Sorry someone had to bring the c/v "debate" into it. ❤
@barbarafenton1775 Thank you! I shared only because I wanted people to see and take away that..."Hey....if coffee was really bad for you, then there's no way someone could live to 101 years old drinking that much coffee a day!" That's the takeaway message I was hoping people had. No political viewpoint was intended.
The most important thing is to consume no sugar, no sweeteners, no seed oils, no fast food, no grains, no fruit juices, no sodas, no processed foods and no snacks

Lions don't drink coffee because they can't operate the Keurig machine. Paws are too big. As a runner, I gave up coffee as a test and found out that my running performance declines when I don't drink coffee. So if lions drank coffee, they would probably be more effective hunters. I'm sticking with my coffee.
How long did you let yourself try to readapt it can take awhile for the adrenal gland to heal and recalibrate...

😂omg you made my day lions dont drink coffee because they can’t operate a keurig.
When I migrated from Keto to Carnivor and then OMAD I started drinking coffee as appetite suppressant. About two cups of black coffee daily allows me to comfortably eat OMAD. Lost over 150 lbs over two years. All lab work good!
People do not know what OMAD is.

I gave up my wine. I am not giving up my coffee
Like having a binky.
I cherish my 2 cups each morning with my husband. It’s how we start our day ❤️
I've been drinking coffee since I was 4 years old. I'm still here, age 71 and doing fine.
Haha 😂 Sry to tell you but you're only middle aged
I love coffee but one of the few times I have it, it gives me severe leg cramps. So I can’t have it 🥀
But because I wanted something hot in the morning, I switched to mushroom coffee, spoiler alert , it’s expensive, and I also got LMNT “hot chocolate and coffee electrolyte mixers, also expensive, but it’s so worth it.
Now I’m able to have a nice hot cup of a coffee alternative, that actually keeps my leg cramps a bay.
If you suffer from severe leg cramps like i have, try adding Celt salt to your water too along with trace mineral drops. After 18 years of these agonizing cramps they’re gone.
I found out from a blood test that I have low blood sodium which was giving me the cramps. So now electrolyte salts and Celtic salt have cured me.
I spent hundreds of $$ on potassium, magnesium, magnesium teas… and they didn’t help a bit. Salt and electrolytes are the answer. I don’t even have to drink 96 ounces of water a day, like I use to, and be up peeing all night long. Lol .
I’m free! 🎊 🥳🥳

Cannot break my coffee habit thank you for sharing your grandmas story feel less guilty now
I've been drinking it since I was 3 days old. I wouldn't sleep so my grandma gave me a little bit and I went out like a light. I can still drink a cup and go right to sleep.
😊 I've been drinking coffee since I was 10 years old. I'm doing Carnivore and I feel great. All my labs are spot on. My doctor said how can this be?
I feel like it’s up to the individual. Try going without it. Do you notice a difference? No? Then keep having it. Feel better & have better results without it? Then ditch it. My grandpa drinks copious amounts of black coffee literally DAILY and he just turned 100 back in October. I’m tellin’ ya, it’s all up to the individual.
Exactly! Just like my grandmother, who lived to 101...proved to me that coffee isn't really bad. I believe its all the sugar that people use in coffee that is. Glad you still have your grampa around!
I started keto a year ago then started carnivore 6 weeks ago. I weaned myself off coffee for lent. It was my last vice and my last chronic pain (knee pain). I am finally pain free after a year and 3 mths.
Did you put cream in? Because I suspect I have dairy sensitivity that causes inflamation.
@@kirstenpeterson3894 The only way to know for certain what is problematic for you is to eliminate that food category from your diet for as long as 6 weeks. If you journal, then you will be able to be reasonably objective about any improvement in symptoms; otherwise it is difficult to assess.
If you really find that you need additional fat intake to facilitate OMAD, then you might want to consider MCT oil in the coffee. It is usually derived from coconut oil and is liquid at room temperature.
That will be the carnivore diet sterting to work after 6 weeks, I suspect .I appreciate that everyone is different, but my joint pain disappeared after starting carnivore whilst drinking coffee.
@@stephenthompson4952 I agree. I observe no difference between carnivory with or without one cup of black coffee per day. Too much caffeine can alter your cortisol and seratonin cycles. Cream is a snack, imo.
6 months into Carnivore, I quit caffeine after 54 years. Almost 4 weeks now. Don't miss it and notice some good changes like better sleep and heartburn at times is gone.
I never had those issues but no energy pills effect me caffeine even 50 ounces in a red bull within an hour had never woken me up. The only benefit I get is like a caffeine pill before I sleep sometimes I wake up way more rested it's a pill I got a bunch of samples from at Sam's club.
I don't think caffeine really affects me never noticed a difference when I got off of it it's hard for me to drink coffee without like stevia but I don't need anything other than that my coffee sometimes I put protein powders in it to curve my appetite.
Marijuana doesn't affect me a lot of pain pills don't affect me. I am of Irish descent I probably have the bliss gene. My chemistry is different I probably metabolize caffeine in a much higher rate which is why I never feel a crash if I don't have coffee I never feel energy if I do have it. I've gone weeks months years without coffee I've waited 3 hours after waking up to have coffee like a double shot of espresso at a Starbucks with the largest size they have the grande.
Some of us just get the health benefits and none of the negatives. It doesn't matter if I ruin an entire pot of coffee and then drink it in 2 hours I don't feel a thing even as I'm sitting there trying to clean the hell out of my house and scrubbing everything you think that I would stop yawning but no.
I do not care what people say.
Coffee worka for me. Five or six times per day I get my coffee and my results are flawless. It boosts my ketone levels, overall performance and keeps me fasting for 20 hours just like that. Running 50-70 km per week requires some motivation and coffee provides enough for me.
Stop running and start sprinting !
Look up Dr Sean OMara !
Good luck !
After doing keto for a couple of years I am carnivore and since I don't like coffee I've never drank coffee (why should I?) and I'm 71. Carnivore, like keto, is a dietary lifestyle and not a religion and yet so many seem to want to make it like a religion complete with dogmatic and judgmental "thou shalt nots" claiming how dare you eat anything that is NOT an animal product in the same way a vegan would scoff if you ate any animal product and yet called yourself a vegan. It just gets old after a while. Just do keto or carnivore the best you can and if you're not satisfied with the results, try and do it better. But don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Such a good piece of advice. Thank you
@@maureenlewis4300 You are welcome.
I screen shoot it your comment. Fantastic!!!
@@patrycja2696 Thank you. It's what I believe.
Steve, I think that is GREAT advice. I started doing a couple of these things Keto, OMAD a couple years ago. I didn't realize OMAD was a thing. I just realized that if I delayed lunch until early to mid afternoon, I was fine with 1 meal. But, I wanted it to be sustainable. I'd eat a chicken sandwich many days, WITH BUN. I figured, I'm eating soooooo much better than I was, one bun is not going to kill me. It clearly didn't and I consistently dropped 1 - 1.5 lbs per day. The one "thou shalt not" for me was Soda. I am such a soda addict that I didn't think I could survive an indulgence here and there. And, I was right. I eventually fell off the wagon and it was super hard to get away from it again.
I'm on a Carnivore diet, but I can't give up on my coffee. It's actually more about my enjoyment than about coffee.
This has nothing to do with anything, but I do really like the video setting, a very calm and ambient atmosphere.
Yes, it’s a very good visual set. Always like to see Dr W looking wonderful 😊
I’ve been drinking coffee since I was a toddler. Every morning. Now in my 70s I’m still healthy. Carnivore for 6 years.
Coffee, black, no SUGAR, 2 cups per day before 10:00 am seems to work for me. Peace Out.
Haha
The way people defend their diet choices you would think people are insulting their family. I like coffee
Do they actively defend or are they just sharing their experiences? Thoughts like this make us sound like we’re defending our cult. Not like this at all.
@@AnneMB955ever talk to a vegan? Lol
@@AnneMB955 vegis and vegans are, (full generalisation), but yeah, they go full send!
You need to settle down bud. If you want to drink coffee then go right ahead. It's gross and not good for you in the short and long run. Makes you stupid.
I drink about 3-4 cups of coffee a day usually before 10 am. I see no noticeable effects other than alertness and an enjoyable ritual. I don't put anything in my coffee (no butter, cream, coconut oil or MCT oil). I just enjoy the taste of black coffee or espresso.
Lifetime drinker of coffee here. I'm 67 years old, started drinking it in my teens.
I've been carnivore for 3+ years now. I gave up coffee for many months (maybe 6-8 months), then started drinking it again (one cup in the morning) a couple of weeks ago. Here are my personal observations:
When I was caffeine-free, I noticed my energy levels were more even. When I woke up in the morning, it didn't take long for me to get in gear. I was immediately alert, and my energy seemed high throughout the day.
These past few weeks with caffeine have been a little concerning. When I wake up now, I feel a little groggy, until I have a cup of coffee. I still feel fine the rest of the day, but I noticed that my sleep isn't as good. I'll wake up after 8 hours of sleep, but instead of feeling refreshed like I used to, I want to just lay there for awhile.
Personally, I think I do better without coffee in my life. I enjoy the ritual of making a good cup of coffee, and I love the smell and taste of a freshly brewed cup, but it's not worth it. I just finished a bag of beans, and I'm going to pack up my grinder, scale, filters, and V60.
You could consider decaf instead. I found one that I like and now I get to enjoy the taste and smell without worrying about the caffeine.
Yeah me too maybe withdrawals I can live without it have a sharper brain 🧠 I hope
I feel like 1 cup of good organic quality coffee a day is fine, just use a heavy fat cream, no sugar, and that's it.
What destroyed my carnivore results was eating too much. When I started tracking macros based on my body fat percentage, weight, and ideal weight, I started losing weight at the rate of two pounds a week. I weigh, measure and record everything I eat. I discovered when I started tracking that I had been deceiving myself about how much I was eating every day. What’s great is that I had been eating carnivore for six months, probably consuming from 2000 to 3000 or more a day and didn’t gain weight. So when I reach my goal of losing 20 pounds, I will be interested to find out how much I can get away with without gaining weight. By the way, I drink coffee (decaf) and diet soda every day. I’m over 70 and petite. I also have ADHD and my brain needs a shot of caffeine midday.
I cured my ADHD with the carnivore diet. I should say, I'm able to manage it and it even comes in useful at times now. Not enough nutrients to the brain was the primary problem. I was not getting vitamin K2 from ruminant animals with four chambers stomachs capable of digesting play a material, filtering out plant defense chemicals, anti-nutrients, and even some environmental toxins... while also making those nutrients more absorbable or bioavailable to me... and my brain. Soda will kick you out of ketosis. Ketones are our brains favorite fuel type. Allowing any glucose into your bloodstream that you can't work off with exercise, will enter the brain fogging your mind, and also causing high insulin, keeping you out of ketosis. Cognitive and regenerative brain functions increase dramatically while in ketosis. I also became very aware of my surroundings. My Hashimoto's and restless legs went away, etc. It wasn't until I locked myself away in a bubble that I realized how much chemicals and toxins in our environment affect brain function. We need good brain function and fully powered brains running ketones in order to repair our whole bodies properly, and optimally. While I would agree that coffee is not the worst thing you could have... Coffee is still a stimulant, spiking or dopamine, and making it difficult to remain calm in stressful situations. Our brains and bodies have to regulate and adjust for changes made by the different chemicals in coffee. I believe dealing with these inflammatory stressors may confuse, or even inhibit some repair functions. I already know those addicted to coffee are going to defend their coffee... If your brain is saying give me coffee, give me coffee... It might be taking time away from important healing or cognitive thought processes.
Diet cola against the carnivore isn't a big help with the adhd. Please let that go?
I've given up enough stuff, I am not giving up very dark low carb chocolate or coffee. Ever. I given up everything else and I'm ok w/ that, but I'm drawing the line at coffee.
Baker's unsweetened cacao bar with a drop of monk fruit - with coffee ☕️ 🍫 😊
I do enjoy an unsweetened piece of bakers chocolate! Haven’t had any since going full carnivore but I think when I get to the end of my 90 days of carnivore I might add it back in. I also love my coffee. I’m happy with my carnivore results and don’t feel the need to give up everything. If my body starts having problems, I will re evaluate - until then, I have no reason not to enjoy coffee, tea, and unsweetened chocolate in moderation. I certainly don’t binge eat unsweetened bakers chocolate, so there’s no temptation there!
As long as you can control it I doubt that is any problem. My opinion. Some things I can't stop eating. I don't eat them.
ahhh me too. and dark chocolate and greek yoghurt. it does not affect me:) but now I can't sleep:)
Yep...!!! MeToo...!!! 🙂👍 I couldn't have said it better myself.
But since Coffee is one of THE MOST PESTICIDE SPARYED Foods we consume,

Butter in coffee is delicious 😋 try it Dr Westman 😜
Depends on your taste. I tried it and wasn't keen. I prefer - just a little - heavy cream in my morning coffee. Later coffee is always black.
As an aside, I wonder what Nepalese tea with Yak butter in it tastes like. Anyone tried it?
This is keto -Grass fed butter in organic whole bean dark coffee ,-grind the beans fresh. Brew then put in blender, and it comes out frothy like A gourmet coffee drink! 2 cups in am . Decaf Green tea in pm. With fresh lemon ,fyi Dark beans have less caffeine, half way to decaf, I think. Works for me, no sugar! Ps I put some organic ground ginger and cinnamon in with the grinds too. Then
Brew electric drip. Delicious, healthy. Do keto, intermittent fasting. Live healthy n long good luck! Thanks to the makers for the video
If you proved to me without a doubt that caffine will cut years off my life.... I'd still drink it.
You would have a lot of company
Laughed out loud, heartily
I tried not drinking (black) coffee in the morning and I was so hungry mid day , I had salts and ate enough keto carnivore food but my cravings for unhealthy food was so bad.
I’d rather have coffee than be fat and unhealthy again 😊
Coffee turned out to be the cause of the patch of eczema behind my left knee that i just. Could. Not. Get. Rid. Of. Carnivore took care of all the other stuff, but it was coffee causing that one little patch.
Is coffee the reason I keep itching? Doctors don’t know why I am itching. Well I have to get off of coffee and start with carnivore!!! For real this time. 😅
@@user-vg9on3je9u Could be!
@@user-vg9on3je9uHow long have you been itching for?😊
How you make your coffee is very important. According to Melita using a brown paper filter and a two pour stove top drip traps 90% of the oil from coffee. Oil is what makes the coffee taste bitter. Also it traps oxalates and some of the plant sterols.
You can also roast egg shells, crush them and add to the grounds. It absorbs the oils and makes the most bitter coffee smooth.
I drank multiple coffees a day for 35 years. Gave it up overnight over a year ago along with all the other plant based foods I loved. Meat, Eggs, Butter, Salt and Water exclusively since then and haven’t missed the coffee at all.
I roast and grind my own coffee. 24oz a day. 1 oz of coffee keeps me alive for 1 hour
That’s what I’ve started doing, and I’ve cut down loads now because I’ve got a hand grinder and it kills my arm😂 so now I have about 2 cups today instead of 12. I am worried though because I’m starting my carnivore diet tomorrow and I don’t wanna give up coffee because I’ve already given up cigarettes and sugar
I like my coffee black. Don't need it for my butter. I just eat butter by the slab with a sprinkle of salt.
I have been trying the carnivore diet for 31 days. I now struggle eating because I barely enjoy the food. I love having 2 to 3 drinks of coffee a day but if I have to give up one more thing I am pretty sure I won't survive...
So go LC_HF inated were you can ass low card veggies + +
Been there! Are you coming from SAD? Or [like most of us] from Keto? If from SAD… yeah the first 30 days will be pure hell! Bad enough from Keto ! [at least that was my experience]. TRUST ME! You want to get past this!! [because it’s SO worth it!!]
SOoooo mix it up! And for heavens sake keep your Coffee! You can decide LATER. Do yourself a favor and forget about removing coffee, NON issue! And if you can’t look another piece of steak in the face?? Look at keto alternatives!! [just stay away from the “fake’ keto trash [processed shit with “Keto” written on it LOL].
I’ve been Carnivore for a year and I’m not going back! In the first months I had green salad with homemade oil and vinegar dressing… I made Texas chilli and added a can of black beans [yes full of oxalates, I know] flavored with spices typical of Texas Chilli … I did some hard cheeses [not much]. I even had a VERY occasional shot of whiskey!! And the list goes on… did it wreck my results? NO.. I’m doing so much better that I will never give this lifestyle up! While I am working on removing my occasional vices? I’m doing great! WAY WAY better than when I was eating SAD!
I tried dumping my 2 cups of decaf/am a month ago. I am addicted to the routine and having a place to hide my butter!
Drink your coffee and eat when you're hungry. Eat for nutrition not for entertainment.
@@Studio51media
Super good advice, IMO. agreed that as long a folks keep carbs low and eliminate the worst offenders, most will get improved health outcomes!
I don't understand what all the is about reducing the butter or cream for weight loss. Doesn't that contradict the whole idea of low carb carb high fat?
Science is showing that coffee has many health benefits from the antioxidant in coffee, even a small amount of caffeine is showing benefits.
I am a carnivore, and I would add a comment. But first...coffee.
Love Dr Westman! No profanity.! What a relief! A gentleman Doctor!
Thank you Dr Westman ❤
I stopped drinking coffee for 3 months……..couldn’t see any difference….. I’m back on organic coffee with heavy cream butter salt and Cheyenne pepper
I love it ❤
We’ve tried stopping coffee but saw no improvement so we still enjoy our coffee.
I gave up an entire menu for carnivore, my results are epic and I feel awesome. I drink coffee all day, 1 cup of caffeinated in the morning and decaf the rest of the day with butter in it. Nope, ain't gonna happen.
I have been drinking coffee since I went into the military many years ago. I drink black coffee and I will probably never stop. I love it. It's a part of my everyday morning ritual. It's peaceful and wonderful to watch the sunrise watch my birds the squirrels with a cup of coffee. Yep, still drinking coffee. Always will and it hasn't hurt my carnivore diet.
I think that this type of division in the circle of carnivore influencers does a lot more harm than good. Aren't we divided over enough nitpicking things already?
This type of content just drives people away from the whole concept and is no more than sensationalism produced to get more clicks. You want coffee, drink coffee, you don't want coffee, don't drink coffee.
If coffee allows you to maintain a healthy lifestyle, doesn't trigger cravings or binging, and you drink it without a load of sugar and chemicals, more power to you. You're grownups, after all.
💡- N - ☝ Nah, I don't really mean it, but it was advice I was given, inexplicably, recently. ;-)
Sorry to not be able to stick around for the Live last night. It seemed pretty lively for the time I was there.
Caffeine barely affects me, so giving it up was fairly easy. It was the sugar that kept pulling me back to soda at first.
Damn that sugar. I can have a cookie and the next morning I have minor inflammation. Sugar ugh!
Am Carnivore. I drink 3 or 4 coffee a day. Not stopping! I have never needed it sweet , thank god.
Great video. When I started carnivore 9 months ago I decided to continue to drink coffee ( black), and I would not give up avocado or dairy. I have lost 38# when I never could otherwise. And like many women that I have talked to about this, we like variety in meat. I do try to limit dairy because it will slow weight loss. Works for me 😊
She did a great job! And how good were all of the people she asked?
All straight talking common sense answers. Not one of them said anything stupid, unlike the plant based "experts"!!!
When I had adrenal insufficiency and migraines, and ate plant based, just one coffee would send me hyper and gave me ocular migraines. Then for years a coffee with paracetamol was the one thing that would stop a migraine. Now, 3 years carnivore and one cup a day max, and I have no issues with coffee and no migraines. It also doesn't give the kick it used to. Some days I'll have black coffee with an egg yolk.
🍫🍫Dark chocolates and 🍵🍵 award-winning Japanese Green Tea and Matcha are what I love and believe these 2 Superfoods are definitely better for me. Not coffee in my case. 😊
I have 1 cup of decaf a day with sugar free creamer. Not giving it up. I enjoy it too much.
I live in Thailand. In the last 2 years I noticed that there was only sweetened heavy cream available. there is no fatty yoghurt. all only slim products. The last mayonaise that does not contain sugar is usually sold out immediately. I no longer buy cheese because it is imported and subject to luxury tax. You can't tell whether it's real cheese because the list of ingredients is covered over. Grass fed beef is rare - comes from Australia. Everything is grain fed. There are organic eggs, but for 6 months the egg white has been like water and the yolk has 3 colors - so I can't trust that either. I no longer eat vegetables because the Thais use a lot of glyphosate, even though it is banned. Every now and then I have bananas and papayas from my garden
The effects of caffeine, for most people, is grossly exaggerated...
? What do u even mean
"Influencer" Hate that term!
If you keep telling people, you may influence how much it's used!
@@darkpatches ... drats ... you're right!
It was impossible to stop drinking coffee entirely. I needed a cup every second day. I have no idea if it is easier now, 15 years later.
I think the pragmatic approach is preferable to the dogmatic. I am amazed often that although we are all the same species, we are all so different.
I stopped drinking coffee because I didn't like how my teeth were darkening. It just so happened that since I've stopped coffee, ive lost 4 pounds without changing anything else!
Were you adding anything to the coffee? Or were you drinking it black?
@@jobrown8146 black coffee!
It’s individual. I know it negatively effects but I’m still it. It is the hardest drug to quit for me
The source is certainly important. Some people are sensitive to mould that can be on the coffee beans.
Has anyone tried roasted chicory to replace coffee? Chicory is a prebiotic so it's healthy for the gut. It has a hearty taste. I put 1 tsp of organic roasted chicory into 2-3 cups of boiled water while it's hot. I make it the night before so it steeps all night. Play with the ratio of water to chickory. Use it just like coffee. We add organic milk and a tiny splash of cream. It's a great time to get your spices too by adding turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper. My husband gets caffeine buzz so we switched to this morning drink and he loves it. I add a scoop of collagen powder to mine and the spices.
I just learned about chicory I have ordered several different types do experiment with but in general I only use instant coffees so I'm hoping that will work out with The Chicory
Good to hear different perspectives.
I really enjoy your insight, knowledge, unbiased view, and humor in your videos. I used to drink 2 cups of coffee first thing in the morning and 1 cup in the afternoon. The Caffeine was causing me a lot of anxiety, stress, crashing, and other issues and the acidic side of coffee caused me a ton of heartburn, indigestion, other gastrointestinal issues like constant diarrhea and vomiting for no reason. I switched to tea which calmed a lot of the gastro issues but still had issues with the caffeine even though it is much less than coffe it was still affecting me. So, i switched then to cacao and all that went away fairly quickly since i had already slowly tapered and removed caffeine and now I sleep better, no gastro issues, stress and anxiety has improved, mood is better, and no crash. For me this worked wonders because apparently im really caffeine sensitive and my gut is still in the process of repairing itself from the ulcers and acid damage and is still easily prone to imbalance as well as my hormones. Going carnivore and switching to cacao has been a game changer for me personally 😊. Nothing against coffee or tea, I sadly just cant do either.
When you say cacao, what are you making exactly?
@elizabethwhite1068 a drink brewed similarly to coffee but with raw lightly roasted chocolate/cacao beans ground like coffee and (I find this to be the best way) used in a French press and brewed like coffee that way. Basically hot chocolate without all the chemicals and other stuff. It's bitter like coffee with a chocolatey taste because it's chocolate. It's pretty good and it has helped me to still have something to wake up with, but without the issues the caffeine and acid in coffee and tea cause me. I was a super heavy coffee and tea drinker for a long time, but my body never really reacted quite right to it, so it's been nice having another alternative. I hope this info helps a little ☺️.
@@Ryebread37 Ooh that sounds delicious! Thank you for taking the time to respond, I will have to give it a try!
@elizabethwhite1068 you're very welcome! If you get a chance to try it and remember, let me know what you think! There are a few brands I know of that preroasted and packaged (its a bit more expensive than doing on your own) CrioBru and Choffy are two of the bigger name brands and you can also find raw cacao nibs and lightly roast them in the oven (there are some websites online that explain the best ways to roast them and such and how to best make the roasts at home) and grind them in a burr coffee grinder relatively coarse to make your own if you want a cheaper route. I started with Choffy brand to see if I liked it and I'm going to start making it myself soon and see if I am able to get good results or not. I've seen some conflicting information about doing it at home and that it can be hit or miss but it's worth a try to save some money if you have the time to do it and it makes your house smell like chocolate 🥰
@@Ryebread37 Thanks for the extra info, that's actually very helpful. I will be looking into it!
Goodness me, the same channel was saying no butter, no eggs just meat! Honestly I get eat a low carb diet and could cope with mostly protein but really couldn’t do without eggs and butter. I have two cups of organic coffee in the morning but if for any reason I’m rushing I don’t miss it. I’d rather take advice from yourself and Dr Berry .
One of your better video's. Thank you.
Thank you, Dr. Westman. My lab/doctor allows black coffee for fasting labs. :( I will have only water on my next labs! Usually I only drink one a day... One pot! ;)
Always remember your hedonistic tendencies are not concerned with your overall health until it's obvious, even then, resistance ensures.
I switched to decaf a couple of years ago due to migraines but I love the taste, warmth and ritual of it. I feel it has actually helped me on my Keto diet because I often use it in place of snacking between meals if I start to get a little hungry. I add a little half and half instead of heavy cream so it's not quite as fattening. And usually that's all I need to get me by until dinner.
I've been a big coffee drinker since I was an adolescent. I'll be 70 this summer, and in the last 8 or 10 years I've backed off some as I felt it was making me jittery. The last 3 or 4 years I've drunk almost exclusively decaf.
Recently, I'm trying to get off my PPI (again!), with some difficulty. I've noticed that too much coffee affects my GERDS, so I've reduced the amount even more, and having my last cup earlier in the day. It seems to help.
BTW, and I got this from Dr Berry, chewing sugar-free gum has helped greatly to reduce the discomfort I feel from not using my PPI. I probably chew 5 or 6 pieces a day.
I am in agreement with Dr Bright, coffee is a vehicle for butter. Though, I am addicted to the caffeine too. I cannot seem to give it up. If I did, I would have to go cold turkey. Which means, I would need to plan for that so I don't expose others to how cranky I would be.
I think the only way to find out is to quit coffee for a month.
What is keeping me from drinking coffee again is the 2 days of severe headache that I get when I quit coffee again..
Same
It took me a year to S-L-O-W wean myself from coffee so I wouldn't get those damn headaches.
That's called ediction 😅
😂Meant to say, E-gano
In his book, "Caffeine Blues" Stephen Cherniske makes the case against consuming more than 300 mg of caffeine daily. he includes quite a lot of peer reviewed science in support of his conclusion. I gave up coffee after January 6th of this year and am noticing some positive changes. I am 71 and have been a seriously heavy caffeine user since age 12. Namaste.😎🦋
"I'm not a crack addict when it comes to caffeine." Lord, I love Dr. Berry. Some people need to be careful before cutting out caffeine. You may feel horrible and get constipated.
What a lovely video dr Westman.
I quit 2 years into Carnivore and had HUGE gains!
when I had tried to quit before I did not notice the difference?
to me its maybe you heal enough at some point you can start to notice the difference
here I am 4+ yrs carnivore no way I will get back to drinking coffee
I say TRY to stop and repeat along your journey and see what happens and decide
not everyone wants optimum results some just want better results and some might not notice?
its a personal thing bottom lin
Coffee has been investigated a lot, one time it is bad, next time it is good, so I think it is everyone's personal decision. There is a difference depending on the way you prepare it. In the old fashioned way, with grinded coffee in a paper filter, then pouring on hot water, some chemicals, that may raise your blood pressure, are adsorbed by the paper. I prefer not to drink coffee put in a cup for a coffee machine by the manufacturer, because that is processed. I eat carnivore now, but I still enjoy my coffee.
Stop reading biased funded studies- just use anthropological logic. Did our ancestors drink coffee?? Was it ever in their bodies?? Amazes me how clueless people think things that were never in our bodies in human history are gonna be ok.
I went onto decaf, that has made a difference, but I enjoy it with some butter whipped into it. I like butter because I like cream in it, but cream doesn’t agree with my gut. Funny how butter does.😊
I quick coffee, my plan will be only drink once a week only on Saturdays. Will see what happens and if I can moderate and tolerate.
Two thoughts:
1) heavy metals and toxins like to adapt to nerves ... when someone is not fully detoxed, coffee will be not first choice at carnivore or keto-diet. You always have to consider your own individual state of health.
2) When our mouth can detect five tastes, sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umam. How does a carnivore-human can ever taste sour and bitter again? Butter tastes sweet, meat umam, salt salty, but the other two?
Heavy whipping cream in my coffee & no sugar . Sometimes butter . Cold winter days & my coffee intake goes up .
I just eat to much Goat Cheese .
Yes , when I was young I got the day old Bread in a bowl with coffee lots of sugar . ( Island cereal ) lol , not good .
I like the new background👍🏼
When on Fasting of 3 to 5 days or IF of 16:8 to 20:4 (I advocate doing 18:6 or 20:4 IF), it's best to refrain from drinking coffee or stimulants. Just water fasting is used.
Fyi, I am into 18 years of Immunology and Immunotherapy research work in Asia.
Individually, some people benefit from coffee in small amounts, whereas some cannot tolerate coffee, mainly due to its caffeine side effects.
Personally, in my own situation I quit coffee since age 7 due to insomnia and gastric after drinking coffee although my parents and my sister comtinued to be heavy coffee drinkers.
In addition, i don't like the bitter taste although i like to smell the aroma.
Dark chocolates and award-winning Japanese Green Tea and Matcha are what I love and believe these 2 superfoods are definitely better for me.
Cream in your coffee may not be too bad, if it's real cream - but what is sold in grocery stores as "heavy whipping cream" is just skimmed milk, with a bit of cream added back, plus a ton of toxic emulsifiers.
Tibetan Tea is made with butter and salt instead of Milk and Sugar - sounds gross but not so bad. Cream in coffee tastes good but i find that sparks my carb addiction - I notice I keep increasing the amount. My preference is a splash of MCT oil - that's a lovely combo ! having said that, I find a cup of green tea a better way to start the day, and then coffee with breakfast. This was a good video, I'll definately be looking more into it.
Used to be a heavy coffee drinker. However, 4.5 months into carnivore and 1 fine day when I went to fix myself a cuppa, it tasted like dirt (similar to Laura Spath's testimony). Needless to say, I poured it down the sink. I then experienced 3 days of muscular pain due to withdrawal symptoms. It's been 30 days, and I do not miss it. I feel free!
My mom was Italian, but her parents died prematurely. She had toast and coffee every morning.
Her death at almost 100 was not health related. It was her colon. She ran into issues and didn't have symptoms until it was too late. Otherwise she'd probably be here now, and WALKING! Nobody believed that she was walking around, still black hair (some gray), at 99. She got a kick out of people asking her beautify secrets!
She did have one, though: she had a belief in baking soda and lots of exercise. She'd say never stop moving, or you'll stop moving against your will.
I personally drink organic water prossessed decaf coffee daily. Love it
I am addicted.. i dont want to loose weight on carnivore i add cream to the coffe to get more calories... my reason for being on diet is health. And its really improving.
I was super attached to my organic French roast but since my doc is optimizing my thyroid levels and increasing my t4 and t3, I am noticing it doesn’t taste good to me anymore, and I’m not even wanting it. It’s worth noting that I generally drank it black, since I’m losing weight presently. But I used to love the taste, and it evaporated from my taste buds. I am using it medicinally on the rare occasion I get a migraine - which it now helps because I’m no longer habituated to constant caffeine intake. I am curious if being off of it will lower my triglycerides at my next blood test. I prepare my coffee without a paper filter which is known to have possible cholesterol impact. But it’s clear to me that I was addicted due to very low physiological energy levels (low thyroid) and the caffeine was stressing my adrenals as well to have to jump start with caffeine all the time. This feels much better, and it’s been beneficial to my IBS to be off the coffee as well.
Step away from the Hot Bean Juice!😁
My top tip,, before quitting and when reintroducing, take it black, unsweetened obviously too.
Much easier for your taste buds to recognise it for what it is to you. If you're like me it actually does start tasting like bitter dirt. Then it becomes much easier to quit properly. Your irritated kidneys and urinary system will thank you.
That sounds reaonable
I have been on and off coffee since my 20’s. I’m now nearly 73. After starting Carnivore nearly 2 years ago, I tried it last August but after a while it began to affect my digestion so I stopped and haven’t gone back to drinking it. My digestion is much happier for sure
In the Journal of Psychdelic Drugs, there is the photos of spideres feed flies induced with different drugs. The spiders that were feed caffeine induced flies, couldnt make a spiders web resulting in the spiders death! MESCALINE induced flies made the spiders make the most efficient spider web. Caffine also causes tinnitus.
Maybe more important is that the coffee is organic!! " First, conventional coffee is among the most heavily chemically treated foods in the world. It is steeped in GLYPHOSATE, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides - a real mouthful with a bad taste. Not only does the environment suffer from this overload, but so do the people who live in it AND those who drink that coffee" ---September 2023
As a toddler I was given coffee occasionally but it was half milk and sugar. I love the taste of coffee but no sugar or milk or cream now. I like it for its diarhetic (sp?) property
I watched this and gave up coffee. Tough first three days. But now i feel so so much better. Lost many inches on my waist. Chocolate is in same bean category. The warehouses store wet beans in sacks, mlld is inevitable. Bean may be washed again or not but dead mold is bad too
My kiddo was diagnosed with Grave’s Disease and although it magically went away after she went full carnivore in 2019 I still keep her way from caffeine because no one seems confident enough to say Grave’s wont return. There was so much bad advice and they wanted her to take meds that caused other risks and side effects and everyone was saying changing diet ONLY would not heal her, but it did. VERY ODD. But, I wanted to mention here that I switched to decaf and it was easy peasy. Also, my daughter & I both found teas that we enjoy and heavy cream can be added to teas as well. I’m sure you can slap some butter in here if desired. It’s helpful for many people to have an option for the social aspect. When friends wanted to go out for coffee or have you over for coffee, bring your teas! Or order decaf. Or just have a water. You wont die. 😝
And if coffee doesn’t bother you, no anxiety, no heart or diabetes issues then have at it with the coffee. Totally an individual choice. I’ve quit coffee before and I’ll do it again. But it’s not high on my list of issues. All of the other crap that was keeping me sick was very important to get rid of over the years and coffee definitely played a part in making all of those changes possible. Or easier at least.

2 years ago I was over 770+ lbs (ERR on scales). I've lost 495 lbs and I'm currently 275 lbs. I used to drink a long back every morning. But just felt I didn't want it every day so I naturally stopped. I still enjoy a coffee socially with friends while they eat their sweets! It doesn't seem to affect me either way. Everyone's journey is different :)
Hi Dr. Westman
There's a new 2024 documentary called "Feeding Tomorrow". It seems to be from the plant based food industry. In two places it suggests to minimize the consumption of red meat. They show all kinds of vegetables and fruits as if they were the only suitable foods. I'm sure you will have a reaction to that.
I keep coffee in my diet for social reasons.
* Thanks Dr Westman for the point on ' no coffee when going in for fasting blood work.'
I've been guilty of this. I never gave it a second thought. Ooops.
I use Robert Timms instant coffee at home.
I made lousy coffee in the coffee maker so ditched the machine. ☕🤷😁
Try boiling freshly ground coffee on an ordinary pot. Experiment on much coffee that suot your taste. My grandfather and grandmother has always done that.
I drink coffee for all of my adult life and part of my childhood...use to drink my Daddy's coffee. Never had a problem with chest tightening, on the contrary, I feel very relaxed after my coffee. Not giving that up.😊
Well I have heard all that I needed to completely cut coffee ☕️ out of my diet, she mentioned common underlining conditions like thyroid and inflammation should best avoid coffee 😮 more than 70% of American have this problem anyway, who thinks they are perfect they done their physical yet” so I think it’s good to just do decaf if you just can’t give up the taste. Relying on coffee to feel better in the morning is just a way to cheat lack of sleep 🛌 try to get at least 7hrs worth of sleep and an orange 🍊 in the morning will give you all the mental clarity and sharpness you need🎉
Day 5 no caffeine, first 3 days sucked, worse headache I've ever had. Finally feel normal and more clear minded. Going to go 30days without and reintroduce. Only added 1cup HWC to coffee.
