ROBERT CYWES M.D., PhD and SHERYL FOX RD ARE clinical PRACTITIONERS in Florida and COVER THE ENTIRE USA AND WORLD VIA TELEHEALTH. Our mission is to educate and treat CARBOHYDRATE ADDICTION in obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Replacing carbs with REAL FOOD while simultaneously replacing carbs as a toxic, harmful response to emotional tension with a diverse healthy set of emotion management tools for lifelong sustainability of mental and physical health, happiness and well-being. Converting people from toxic sugar burners to healthy fat (keto) burners while addressing the CAUSE of addiction to carbs from an emotion management perspective. Sometimes using medications such as GLP-1 agonists and obesity surgery/devices to help people including those who have had bariatric surgery.
Set up a consultation if you are looking for sustainable ways to treat obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, cholesterol and thyroid disease. If you need bloodwork/physician confirmation or if you are considering or struggling after Bariatric Surgery we can assist.

With Carnivore, I no longer throw out any food, before things were always going bad. Averaging out eggs or sardine meals with the meat, ends up being very cost affective. Not to mention going to doctors a lot less, less medication bought etc….
Thanks for this Series Dr Cywes. The timing is impeccable. Today sister in law texted me to tell me she was ready to address her various insulin related issues and wanted to know how to start. I promptly fired this and other materials over for her review and happened to proudly preface it with the fact you’ve been my Dr for the last several years. Thanks for what you do🙏🏻
😊
I really appreciate a MD perspective. I am 2 weeks in to carnivore and feeling disappointed I am not losing weight and my glucose is still 100-115. But I have been unhealthy for years, it won’t happen overnight, at least not for me.
Personally, I am KETO. Max carbs per day is about 40. I stay away from pork products. 70% fat. I am 40 lbs down and easily kept it off. My triglycerides dropped from over 100 to 41. Yes 41. Been Keto for 4 years and I feel incredible. I can't express how healthy I feel. But dirty keto is not good! Clean keto is essential.
Just over a year ago, before I ever saw even one of your videos, I came the the realization that I was a carb addict. Your channel confirmed this. I have not eaten sugar or simple carbs since Feb 1st 2024. I've lost about 40lb, and feel great, and a couple of weeks ago chose to eat a strict carnivore diet during the week, with a little more leeway on weekends. But still no sugar or simple carbs. And it's been easy! I have not had carb cravings for the past year, even though my wife brings them home all the time. For the first time in my life I can just say no!
Wonderful
Love the advice in this video. So glad to hear someone talk about this not being easy. I had a super hard time with the gut adjustment, and my diet was not THAT bad before, but still somewhat carby. Started mostly meat based diet 2 years ago for weight loss. I lose weight very slowly, but my biggest surprise was curing ibs-d, fatty liver and gum inflammation. (My gums have bled forever and I was losing gum tissue, and never bleed now and they have recovered! ) I have lost 23 lbs (went from 210 to 187) but now it comes off soooo sloooow. I have gone thru low carb, to keto and briefly carnivore and back to low carb. I am calling it WFMB whole food meat based. My husband is WFPB with some fish and eggs at my urgence. I separate our groceries just to see the cost difference… he definitely spends less, about $350-$400, and I spend $450-$500. (Monthly - Medium Cost of Living Area.) But I do indulge in prime steaks from time to time. Hope this helps somebody :)
Watching this while eating the fried eggs and canned sardines for breakfast 😊
Excellent
Totally agree. After 13 years of Healthy Keto & IF, it still was rough for the first 9 weeks to shift. Electrolytes and Trace minerals helped a lot. Now week 10 it’s a piece of a cake. Zero finally CRAVINGS!
Intro to the diet: absolutely true and great advice. I started keto almost overnight and was fighting ‘demons‘ for a month or two. However, I persisted by being scared of my high blood sugar and fear of developing diabetes. And it worked. Thank you, Doc.
I've been listening to you for a couple of years... last March I became a carnivore and in April I got rid off ALL cravings, including caffeine. I admire you a great deal. Thank you for all these videos. God bless you
Thanks!
My husband is ready to join me doing keto/carnivore!! 🎉
Be supportive. It can be tough
One of the huge huge benefits of the Carnivore diet and the various other ketogenic diets is Education. In the last 7 years, I have learned so much. Beyond the doctors in my area in regards to my diet.
Thank you so much doc! You are an original thinker and getting others to think for themselves. What better gift to give in life?!
Dr Cywes brings the truth to his viewers and his patients. Thank you Sir!
😊
Excellent video & series. This will be a go-to for new/curious carnivores. (69yo, M, 13-month carnivore)
Carnivore has been A complete paradigm shift for me as a Naturopath.. I appreciate your knowledge and the Saffa humour too.. I miss it a bit over here in Aus. I used to lecture on the importance of fibre and greens.. juice detoxes and at the same time using bioresonance therapy to treat all those symptoms and signs of what I now believe to be mostly due to carbs, antinutrients and food sensitivities. Keep u the education Dr Rob.. I learn a lot from you in this space. Thank you . Mooi bly.
Thank you Dr Cywes.
TH-cam sucks just today I subscribe to your channel. I’ve subscribed your channel and many other channels over and over and over I am a carnivore and today I saw that I was unsubscribed. I don’t know why it has to be this way with this diet that for some reason it’s monetized.
Agreed. Not sure whats going on w them
So true! And adding some fasting is the cherry on top.
I have slept so much better since making the connection between eating carbs and not sleeping well. Slow learner that I am, I went keto several months ago. I noticed better quality of sleep right away. But only in January did I have chips and salsa with a carb heavy Mexican lunch that I put it together. Didn’t sleep that night. My brain was whirring all damn night.
I was the same when I raided my grandsons chocolate....I O.Ded and couldn't sleep. Each time I was about to drop off to sleep, it was almost like a small electric shock went through me and jarred me awake.😮
I have been a patient of Dr Cywes for over a year and half. He is spot on and absolutely correct. He doesn’t sugar coat it, he is straight serous and to the point. This life transformation he is about go into detail over the next 9 videos is priceless and will change your life for the better. 2 years into this and I would never go back. Yes, it can be a little rocky the first 4-6 weeks. But it will be well worth it. The hardest thing, is hearing the audience in your life questioning what you’re doing and trying to pull you back into the Standard American Sh1t diet. Best of luck.
Hey M
Such impeccable timing. I started transitioning to carnivore in October (though I didn't know this at the time) 😂 I stopped consuming all processed carbs, then the rice, pasta etc, then the final stage was the veggies. This is my 5th day, and yesterday I decided that I'm not interested in coffee anymore. I drink bone broth instead. Practice intermittent fasting. Still floundering around protein and fat ratio so very keen to watch the rest of the videos. Thank you so much Dr Cywes ❤️
I've fallen off the wagon a few times, but this video has renewed my confidence to try it again with a more educated strategy! Thanks Dr. C, talk soon 🙂
I like the attitude. Watch the kahlua
@@robertcywes2966 😯👍
I love your frankness and honesty! You're not American at all! Love it.
I am RWandB...just started being an American in Africa😊
Thanks!
Thank you!!
I just liked 👍. Thanks Dr Rob. From one doctor to another, I have learnt so much from your videos. I got the Ketogenic Diet Textbook and there you were making significant contributions to the material. Thanks again
😊
This is good advice, Dr. Cywes! Whenever you're drastically changing your diet, it should always be done slowly (unless you want to suffer while your body tries to make quick adjustments!).
5 months ago, I began a keto diet. But for several months before that, I had already started edging out some of my carbs in favor of more animal protein. As time went on eating keto, I lowered my carbs more and more, and I am now leaning more ketovore (meat heavy keto).
I'm not sure if I will go completely carnivore, but at some point I might give it a try and see how I feel. For now, I am happy and feeling good on ketovore!
Thank you Dr Cywes 🙏 So beautifully presented.. Every time I listen to you .. I see your brilliance and know that Professor Tim Noakes played such great role in your education.. Professor is a great blessing to this space.. thank you for all that you share unselfishly.. blessing from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦 🙏
😊
It would be nice if you could also address healthy insulin-sensitive people (athletes) and your specific recommendations for them in the video series. Especially when it comes to nutrition!
Coming up in this series
@@robertcywes2966 Thank you
Thank You Doc.
The good doctor has absolutely nailed it in this beginning Carnivore video episode #421. Now, off to episode #422.
Thank you for clarification that carnivore should be done cold turkey. It is not any easy lifestyle change but making slow changes I hope to get there.
Three years in, I did my tranistion as you described. I bought human physiology books to understand the science. To me, its an adventure rediscovering new foods that fit this criteria plus enjoying all the benefits of this lifestyle.
Watching from Fiji 🇫🇯. Enjoying as a Dietician
Love Fiji...except on the rugby pitch😊
Love the detail and explanations
Excellent video. Thanks!
Thank you for all you do.
We've had a crap summer thus far in Hawkes Bay. New Zealand. We need more cow farts to warm the air up a bit.
Or wine😊
@robertcywes2966 indeed.😉
Love your vids,your time and your research, thanks
Thank you for sharing your expertis3
Solid advice
Been on it for 10 days. Still have the odd avocado and olives with the meat! I haven’t had to deal with any cravings or sugar detox etc when I did a low carb medium fat and protein keto diet I had horrendous trouble adapting and thought I might actually die! How ever I think that my diet over all was much better this time around or my body already know how to be fat adapted. If I need anything in the day I have a cup of home made bone broth. I think my secret to sticking with it has been thinking a head for 1 day and preparing or at last having something in the fridge ready to cook. I have UC and was having a chronic flare that I haven’t been able to control for months. I have already seen some Improvement in 10 days! Only problem is is my son is vegan 😂😂😂
I love the simplicity of carnivore/ketovore way of eating. I however am a emotional eater and struggle to stay on track my bs was 500 last month which had me at the hospital. so i decided that i was better off taking diabetes medication for a short amount of time (6) months
Went Carnivore 6 months ago. Gave up all caffeine as well.
Eating around 2lbs of 73% ground w/ 5eggs every day.
I take gelatin, collagen, and glutamine several times a day.
I use nicotine gum with a few pieces of Xylitol gum throughout the day.
Do the Colitis cramps last for life? 5 /7 days a week if feels like i was punched right above my belly button.
Get better but make sure thats the cause
Thank you . Appreciate. Very informative, love it ❤
I listen through the ENTIRE video. I learn. I pass it on.
I would love to see a video about people who are super absorbers of plant sterols. Can't really find much on line about this but it causes atherosclerosis ....I have very high plant sterols in my blood so I have to really limit eating plants. I always thought plants lowered cholesterol and for most this is true however for me, I have to eat meat. No wonder I feel better eating meat.
Cholesterol DOES NOT CAUSE ATHEROSCLEROSIS. Plant carbs cause atherogenic vascular inflammation
The fact that nobody talks about book called Health Secrets Industry Hides really gets to me. Always loved doctors that opens our eyes.
Where can you find it? Not on Libby or Audible
❤❤❤
I’m a type 2 diabetic.
Currently on metformin xr, and have been on Mounjaro for 5 weeks.
I have been eating a ketogenic diet.
I just had a meeting with my diabetes doctor, and when I told her I was eating Keto, she said that was BAD.
She said that because Mounjaro is both a GLP-1 and GIP inhibitor, I MUST have some carbohydrates in order for the Mounjaro to work, because it is glucose dependent.
I eat chicken, olive oil, lettuce, cauliflower, bovine collagen for extra protein, and take various multivitamins.
Is this TRUE what the doctor said- that I MUST have other carbohydrates (quinoa, rice, whole grains, etc,) for Mounjaro to work the best for me?
I’m male, 5’11, 22% bodyfat, and weight 222lbs.
Blood sugars run between occasional lows of 66, to as high as 168.
My A1C has dropped from 11.6 to 8.4
Thanks for any “non-medical opinions” (wink, wink,) you can share with me.
@mattpeterson3002. Find a better doctor.
Get another Dr
According to Google you can go low carb on monjouro. However, many diabetics control diabetes with keto...no awful drugs. You might want to talk to a different dr and get off the drugs if possible
I am carnivore.on mounjaro since June and a patient of Dr Cywes. It totally works. Make an appointment with him.
@@mattpeterson3002 Yep...get another doctor.
why is insulin sensitivity good for you?
It is what regulates every aspect of your body's functions
Would enjoy a video from you (an SME on carnivore way of life) on what to do when your carnivore goals are met or exceeded. For instance, how to stop losing weight. Plenty of opinions out there but few backed by tons of experience. For example, are there benefits to intermittent fasting that would be lost if you add a third meal?
Coming up. 9 part series
Hey doc can you speak about high ferritin while doing carnivore?
Its an inflammatory marker. Watch next video in this series
Low carb to ketogenic to ketovore to carnivore
no withdrawal symptoms, no brain shock/fog, no risk of oxalate dumps or kidney stones, and no heavy dopamine cravings, can easier experiment with fasts
Exactly
what happens if you don’t start carnivore slowly?
Real misery. But u can power thru. Most abandon it
I started Tirzepatide low dose. No hunger at all! I and am doing a carnivore diet. After one month I’m so tired! I’m 69, just need to lose 30 lb and get off sugar as I have Alzheimer’s gene and family history of it! I’m going to slow down the carnivore switch over Thank you Dr Cywes!!!
Since you are tired, sounds like you are not in ketosis. If you want to prevent AD, your liver needs to be producing ketones. Stopping carbs should do it. Be sure there are no sugars or starches in anything you eat or drink. It will block ketosis.
Now about that T stuff you take. Eating meat and eggs is good to be sure you get enough nutrition. T raises your insulin and lowers glucagon so is probably blocking ketosis. No AD protection. Take your choice.
Eat fatty meat until it stops tasting good
It’s only a month. Your fatigue will fade as you adjust. Try eating 2 meals a day, over 4-6 hrs , and no food/fast for 16-20 hrs a day.
I'm 74 and it takes a while for an improvement in energy levels.
@ patience. It will happen. Exercise, sleep helps
I was keto then keto carnivore stated like 6 years ago and after years I'm in a Plato done interment fast all along too. even 3 day fast coffee and water only lose 2 lbs.
Set up a visit to review
Is the “Thanks” button here helpful, or not preferred? Just wondering because he didnt mention, but it is my preferred method. I assume so, but not many people I see using it, so I thought maybe I am missing something…
I think with using the "thanks" button, YT gets a cut of the $'s.
@@christinelamb1167 ah, that makes sense :)
Not sure what that is
@ I just asked AI… answer: “TH-cam creators receive 70% of the revenue from Super Thanks, while TH-cam receives the remaining 30%. This split is the same as the revenue share for Super Chat. How creators receive Super Thanks revenue -
Creators receive Super Thanks revenue in the same way they receive ads revenue through AdSense.
Creators can view their Super Thanks earnings by going to TH-cam Studio, then Analytics, then Revenue.
Under Transaction Revenue, creators can see a breakdown of their total Super Thanks earnings. “
I cannot do a complete carnivore diet because wine does not come from an animal 😅
No doubt that LDL goes up unfortunately. However, the HDL also goes up fortunately. Also Total cholesterol shoots up too. I have been in carnivore for years and my Total and LDL cholesterol always was higher than previous test results. I can't do better than what I am currently doing. My lipid panel was in normal range when I was on Keto.
interesting that you say reflux is improved, i find that it makes make mine worse on a carnivore diet.
Same
Binging?
Hypothetically speaking if someone had Autoimmune atrophic gastritis could they benefit ?
Yes but needs formulation
@@robertcywes2966thanks I look forward to your next videos
Sure, one carnivore meal might cost as much as dining in a fancy restaurant, but it keeps me full for two days. This way, I can actually save money by not eating as frequently. 🤣
Went keto seven years ago. Much easier transition to carnivore after that
How has your health been and have you stayed with those diets?
@ yes. Have maintained keto for seven years. Lost 30#, feel so much better than I did before. Age 60, zero pain anywhere.
I went way to fast switching over and I wasn't incredibly healthy either. It made it brutal.
I hit a hard platue in carnivore because of the horrible muscle cramping that would throw me out of bed in the middle of night and cripple me throughout the day. I have no idea how to fix it. Adding carbs back in helped for a little bit, but they are back and will not go away no matter what I eat or drink or move. 😢
Do you take electrolytes ? I not you should
@syllith3077. Get your blood work done. In the meantime, drink more water and use more electrolytes. The blood work is really a great first step.
@@syllith3077 Magnesium always helps with my muscle cramps. Start slowly, some forms a magnesium are harsher than others. I was taking magnesium glycinate, but I don’t seem to need it as much any more.
@@TeeAnn Something funny: for years I've suffered with very painful muscle cramps in my lower legs and feet. I kept hearing "take magnesium", and I did, for years. But it never helped at all!
Well, it turns out the dosage matters. All these years I wasn't taking enough! Recently a new doctor told me to take at least 400 mg a day. I started that, and now a few weeks later my cramps aren't completely gone, but their GREATLY diminished! Ha ha, it turns out I just wasn't taking enough. I'm thinking I might increase my magnesium a bit more, and maybe the cramps will go away completely.
All this stuff that everyone said plus stretch your muscles before getting in bed.
If carnivore, are you risking your kidneys , liver and heart.?? Meat and fats will increase your cholestrrol, trygli, creatinine and uric acid.
I agree glucose will be decreased due to no or less carbo. Kindly reply Dr., thank you
Watch each episode to debunk that falsehood
Carnivore doesn't work for me because I like the flavor that vegetables add to the meat I cook. I do keto.
No issue w that
I haven't lost any weight in over a month on carnivore why?
You are eating or drinking something. Track everything you are putting into your mouth. It’s important to make sure you are moving each day, too. Walks or weight bearing.
I'm 8 months in of Keto/carnivore and no weight loss. I also do CrossFit. I've healed many issues though so am not worried about it. Keep with your carnivore diet and you'll achieve benefits.
Losing weight does not really matter because water weight can make it yoyo. Measuring yourself gives a better idea to see what your body is actually doing. Because as you eat more nutrients dense food your body structure should change, bones become denser, muscle building replacing fat, etc. So you may stay the same weight or gain weight but your clothes fit differently.
@godchosen7145. If I told you that the Carnivore Diet is NOT a weight loss diet, would you believe me? Can it be? Yes.
@@JimWooddell True! It is about HEALING the body by providing true nourishment. People who don't drop pounds right away probably have important healing the body needs to accomplish first.
Feed the body correctly, and it will do what it is supposed to do, but in the body's own time.
The engine analogy was horrible. You can't rebuild an engine and convert a gas engine to diesel.
My uncle had a tractor that could run on diesel, gasoline or kerosene. I think it was built in the 1940s
Also lots of modern multi-fuel engines out there. Gasoline ,diesel,propane, natural gas. Used for backup electricity generators. You have to make small adjustments with valves or switches when changing fuel.
I was thinking this myself. But the message resonated with me. Not many carnivore influencers recognize that this switch over from carb fuels to fat burning is very hard on some of us. They talk about keto flu for a few days, but I had MONTHS and had to take enzymes before my gut was okay with a meat based diet.
Maybe not the 'best' analogy...but you get the idea. C'mon, dude.....he's making a point about adjusting as opposed to going cold turkey. Sheesh........
Yes I agree absolutely. Horrible analogy. If you burn diesel fuel in a gasoline engine or vice versa burn gasoline in a diesel engine the results would be sudden and catastrophic. By analogy, a sudden fatal heart attack.
A better analogy would be trying to burn straight 100% ethanol in a gasoline engine. It may run great with increased horsepower (but lower MPG) for a couple tank fills. However, the increased power and combustion heat will soon burn and destroy the pistons and valves. 100% straight ethanol is also highly corrosive and will soon destroy the rubber gaskets and seals of the fuel system (gas tank, fuel pump, fuel lines). Engines and fuel systems can be tuned and adapted to burn 100% straight ethanol and/or various mixtures of gasoline and ethanol (i.e., flex fuel cars).
Thank you
