i just checked this video out, bc ur face was thinner, i haven't watch past the ad yet, so i don't know if you lost weight or not, but i do see great changes in ur face, get it gurl!!!
Have you ever tried raw diary? unpasteurized? Just curious.😅❤ i am so happy this works for you. I did Keto too and had a surprise baby😂 this diet, I just have been curious about.
Hey. I feel I have similar issues but not as bad. But the diet that I feel helped me the most is a Paleo diet. It is a non dairy higher fat and moderate protein diet. I am lactose intolerant and get really bloated with dairy and high sugar products. It's hard for me to follow the diet cuz I love chocolate, bread, and rice 😞 but when i focus n eat within the diet it helps me alot. I pray you find something that works for you and make u feel better 🤗
I'm into Paul Saladino's approuch, meat, low oxalate fruits... I added flowers and low oxalates veggies. dairy is no good for me, no matter how raw. and lots of fat does not let lose weight, it's the same like when you do keto for losing weight.. you already have fat to use. Watermelons, Mangoes are great for me. I don't eat anything the plant does not want me to hehe
HELLO FRESH BAD WILL NOT PAY FOR THEIR LABOR
I placed my mother onto a carnivore diet after a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. She was given 3-6 months with no treatment options. That was over a year ago and her cancer is shrinking
Thats amazing
That’s wild. I mostly eat meat. Maybe I’m doing it wrong
@@mermaiddiyartist8119do you have cancer? Why do you think it isn’t working? Are you doing OMAD? Try looking at videos from Dr. Seyfried he speaks on carnivore and cancer and fasting. Best of luck to you 🙏🏼.
@@mermaiddiyartist8119also get Ben Bikmans book “Why we get sick”.
Now that is some great news... Thank you for sharing!
Because of this video I tried carnivore for 30 days. Arthritis pain is gone, I'm off antidepressants, I've lost weight, and my cycle started again. The real test will show if I get pregnant as I've dealt with infertility for 12 years. I'm blown away by how good I feel. My body feels young again. At minimum, cutting sugar helps and I encourage people to get rid of the sugar/processed foods. Thank you, Jaime!
Wow! Congratulations, what a beautiful testimony. I wish you all the best with getting pregnant 💕 God bless!
That is fantastic! Carnivore and Paleo are truly the healthiest ways to eat. So glad it's working for you, and best wishes on your fertility journey! ❤
You’ll likely get pregnant quickly if you stick with it and your husband has healthy sperm.
Dr. Jason Fung has spoken about this on numerous occasions that he witnessed countless women “accidentally” get pregnant from fasting and carnivore after decades of infertility.
Carnivore has a very strong snowball effect. The longer you go, the stronger and better the results. Its really only just beginning at 30 days. 6 months to a year and you will feel reborn.
@@disco4535🙌🙌🙌
Congratulations ! I just hit 13 months carnivore and it has changed my life! i started at north of 715lbs i was stuck in the house for over 2 years and i was on home oxygen 24/7. i had congestive heart failure, reactive airway disease, depression, anxiety, lymphedema, and many other issues. ive lost 262lbs so far, i have my mobility back, im off oxygen, and off all meds, my depression and anxiety is completely gone. everything has healed and is either 95% to 100% healed! A literal answer to prayer ! i love hearing people changing their lives with carnivore too. Keep up the great work!
❤❤❤❤congratulations !! Fantastic job !!! 👍👍👍👍
Omg that is FANTASTIC 😻 IM so happy for your success!!!✨💖🫶🏼
Wow!!! This seems like a miracle diet!! So happy for you! 😊
@@meganrhoden5386 Thank you. I don't consider it a diet. I relate to diets as something that is temporary. This has given me freedom from food addiction and cravings. So is my ne2 lifestyle now.
Way to go! You got your life back and a direction towards health and a life without boundaries 💚🪷💚Keep on going it will only get better.
Omg! 🤣 I had to pause the video to comment. That Dr. Berry poop montage… HILARIOUS! 🤣🤣💀 Thank you for that laugh!
Me too😂almost died
Me too 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha I laughed so hard
Poop montage. 😂😂😂😂
Omg! I was alone at home and laughing out loud! 🤣🤣🤣
So far I'm very impressed with Jaime's restraint in resisting the urge to insert the scene from The Happening where we learn that the plants are out to get us.
lol I’m so sad I didn’t think of this
@@jaimefrenchofficial hey, in the words of Marky Mark, your face is perfect, and this might be all due to the bees anyway.
@@clairepettie "not the bees!"
I LITERALLY was thinking this too! 😂
@@jaimefrenchofficial wHaT? noOo!
i think the reason why vegan and carnivore diets work so well is because it's cutting out processed foods.
*edit* you have all thoroughly schooled me on how much processed food vegans eat lol! i guess i was thinking of how little fast food a vegan would eat. but you can keep your comment about it now, i am aware 😂
Very true!
Meet them in the middle and go paleo
@@netpunk5890yas your gallbladder will thank yoh
100%. And usually people start exercising as well which makes them feel better
Exactly. The processed food addiction is hard to break. Just eat real whole foods.
LOL I had explosive diarrhoea for practically 3 months on and off. But so happy I stuck to it... Rheumatoid arthritis gone, serious heartburn, bloating gone. I have been on carnivore diet for 11 months now. Went from a size 10 to practically a size 4. I am 70 years old and I walk at least 2 hours everyday and I go hiking with my teenaged grandkids. And the most puzzling thing is that my hair stopped turning white and my eyebrows are no longer white so I don't need to use any colour on my eyebrows.
I have RA, this is so great to hear. I am going to try carnivore. 🙏🏻
My dad’s 72 had white hair starting age 50. He never dyed it and it’s now mostly black again. Some grey. It’s weird.
Explosive diarrhea? 😮
@@iamthegreatiam2075is he also doing the carnivore diet or something else that helped him get his hair color back?
@@jac1111 yeah, he eats nothing but steak and eggs.
“No one likes Brussel sprouts” me, sadly in a corner: I like brussel sprouts…
Edit: I’m glad to see so many Brussel sprout supporters 😂😂
Brooooo...Roasted Brussels with olive oil drizzle and salt and pepper. ❤❤
Brussels sprouts are delicious!
Literally love them
Me too
Me tooo!
I am 275 days on carnivore diet. I am 84 years old. I. Lost 27 lbs I. Three months and stopped. New Dr found I am hypothyroidism also. I am five days on my pills and cleaned house today vacuumed and mopped floors .My back pain is also gone. Thank you for your testimony ❤
I'm glad your back feels better.
That's awesome. Raw meat heals more. Raw eggs too..
Wow I need this medication lol I have hypothyroidism and my doctor just tells me to diet and exercise. Even though I tell them THAT ISNT WORKING, obviously lol
So happy to read how well its going for you❤.
@@PeterSosinski I wouldnt want to eat that.
I’m a militant vegan, but I believe in eating for what suits your body. I’m so happy for you! Nothing better than feeling good in your own skin 💜
Love this 💖💖
Yes! I am vegetarian and when I’ve tried high protein/meat diets the weight has fallen off…with huge bouts of IBS and zero energy, so I stay away from meat. I feel so much better without animal flesh
I love this too! TY!
I didn't have enough energy on vegan to be militant about it. But like you said, you do you.
I don’t think you understand what militant means.
Praying for you on your healing journey Jaime 🙏 idk if you’re Christian but hearing you bring up biblical lessons warms my heart, especially coupled with your modest and silly personality ☺️ I really hope you get better and seeing your story is very inspiring for someone who is on a health journey as well 💗 May God guide us through this, in Jesus name, Amen 😌
Carnivore diet changed my life. Not only the weight loss, but my fitness level. I'm 53, off all hypertension and cholesterol meds. Zero body pain, and I have the bloodwork of an 18 year old (according to my doctor). When she asked what changed and I told her she exclaimed "you can't do that!". I asked her if I should stop. Reluctantly she said "no". I also only need 4-5 hours of sleep. I just wake up fully focused with energy. I used to sleep in an entire weekend.
Sounds amazing
I have a friend that was just over 300 lbs and she was going to get the stomach sleeve surgery. The doctors wanted her to lose at least 30 pounds on her own before they would do the surgery. So she did the carnivore diet and she only ate basically meat and eggs. She ended up losing like 50 pounds in three months. She did eventually get the sleeve and she’s doing great today.
50 in 3 months? That’s kinda dangerous no? You sure she wasn’t starving herself?
@@Mama_Bear524 yes, it was crazy. She was literally only eating steak and eggs. Apparently the doctors were okay with it.
@@Mama_Bear524not when you’re 300 lbs. 20 lbs of that was water.
@@Mama_Bear524yes it is... you should only lose 1-2 pounds per week
You lose weight from lack of fiber and shitting all your nutrients out because of too much protein…. People are losing weight from this from essentially over eating protein, which makes you sick. Too much of a good thing makes it a bad thing… this method of losing weight is similar to laxatives… but maybe a little worse in the long run because you’re clogging up your arteries too.
It makes sense that you lost weight so fast at first if you are indeed reactive to plants. Inflammation often makes us look overweight when most of it is water weight. Water weight drops really quickly when inflammation goes down. My dear friend lost 30lbs in a couple months once she was properly medicated to her hypothyroidism, no changes to her diet. I hope you are able to find what unique mix of diet, medication and lifestyle changes you need to feel vibrant and healthy! I am so impressed by how you just keep trying new things. You’ve got this!
I have hypothyroidism and the first thing my doctor told me when I worried about going on thyroid medication was that it perfectly safe. In fact when people have their thyroid removed, they have to go on thyroid replacement for life.
I am legit sitting here around the ~37:00 mark shaking with rage on Jaime's behalf. Like why would these doctor's not think you need replacement hormone when you no longer have the producing organ?!?
@@Kimberly_Sparkles I think she was on thyroid med but it just was doubled. So the dose was way off... I would be curious to know what kind of dosage she has. I take 100-125ug of levothyroxine per day. My thyroid hasn't been removed, I just got hypo in my early 20s.
I honestly wasn't sure from how it was phrased, it sounded like she was on nothing. It 100% sounds like she wasn't given an accurate picture of the monitoring needed or the correct testing for it. It sounds like they weren't doing a full panel (the TSH-3 & 4, etc) regularly and that still makes me enraged because that's the only way to have a full picture of how well the thyroid or replacement hormone is affecting the body.@@noora7773
@@Kimberly_Sparkles I was born without thyroid and have been on levothyroxine my whole life. the problem is you can feel hypo symptoms but your labs come back "normal" and if you have a doctor that only follows labs, you get in a terrible cycle. You really have to advocate for yourself or find a doctor that is willing to listen to you and dose based on your symptoms vs lab results.
@@Kimberly_Sparkles A friend of mine had her thyroid taken out at 16 due to Graves disease. She did get medicine but had better treatment withheld due to doctors wanting to preserve her fertility (that she doesn't want) despite her protestations. I hope everyone gets the treatments they need, but yeah, to withhold info as a doctor to a patient that has to make informed decisions of their own health is reprehensible.
Completely agreed with Jordan P statement about the diet and depression... 3 years ago I was on gastro meds, depression , anxiety and insomnia meds. I tried to push myself hard working out everyday. Lost 5 kilos only. I cook from scratch and most of the time healthy meals.Then suddenly I had a awful hives all over my body due to ( flour base carbs) so I went to keto .... skin hives went away, so reflux meds.... soon after the depression plus lost 10 kilos, I felt amazing... I began eating everything again, after some bad relationships, who was vegetarian and would consume so sugar. All my work went down to drain.... depression is back and strong, gastro issues, weight gain and lost motivation and self worth. Feeling crap, aches and pains, skin rashes very uncomfortable on my body.
Beginning my carnivore journey today. Wish me luck.❤
Best of luck. When you know what works for you. Hopefully if you give it longer and really allow for long term healing, you can get other foods back over time and not need to live so restricted. Listen to your body.
Wishing you best of luck! ❤
So relatable! WISHING YOU THE BEST!
Please get medicated and don't do this stupid thing.
How is it omg
I've been on it for 3 months and it's honestly changed my life both my mental and physical health in such significantly positive ways
What kind of benefits did you notice?
@@TheMelissaWasHere
Mental health benefits; mood is much more stable, less ups and downs, less PMS, less stressed overall, feel so much calmer now
Physical; lost 5kg, lost 7cm off my waist, skin cleared up from blemishes on face and body, skin is less oily, hair is less oily, my hair looks fuller, my periods are less painful and lighter
@@LadyVintageBags Wow! That rocks! Thank you so much for sharing your story.
"You know, when I had THYROID CANCER" I had NO idea, I'm so sorry you went through that!
I know :( I had no idea either
Less people would get less sick (and from less early ages as well), if they ate the proper way.
When you eat normal food (food humans ARE supposed to eat!), your body doesnt run on sugar anymore, but fat.
It burns fat. Fat is fuel. (But you need to be zero carbs, zero sugar, including fake stevia and so on. THEN the body switches to how it was always designed to work, instead of storing sugar/carbs.)
Then it is beginning to heal, and then you develop proper healthy body, healthy mind.
This way of eating isnt about losing weight, (losing weight come as a bonus), but getting your life back by getting rid of diabetes, joint pain, PCOS, gout, obesity, chronic inflamation, etc etc ETC.
It's real.
@@FocusedFighter777run a marathon with a protein/fat only diet and come back and tell me that carbs dont matter 😅 Different things work for different people, dont push your way of eating as the only one, but just be happy it works for you 😄
@@FocusedFighter777I'm 100% sure Jaimie didn't get thyroid cancer from her diet in her youth. Cancer can affect anybody.
@@FocusedFighter777what if I don’t have any of those problems and do consume a moderate amount of sugar/carbs? What makes the diet you speak of better or more right if mine isn’t causing problems? The human body wasn’t “designed” to do anything. We’ve evolved to be what we are.
Worth clicking on for the ken berry poop remix alone. I almost died.😂
That should be its own video maybe she should do it as a short 😂
lol I loved it. I’m actually singing my poop my poop now lol
This video is great in many ways but my favourite part of it was getting little snippets of your and Nick’s relationship, hearing how you’re doing all this together and the little clips of you two just interacting. It’s so sweet :)
Just found your channel today (don’t know how I missed it bc you’ve got a ton of subs!)….
I admire that you did the 90 day carnivore challenge and that you experienced such amazing physical and mental benefits and results during that brief amount of time on this type of Proper Human Diet (Carnivore, Keto or Ketovore) as Dr Ken Berry calls it.
I’m 61, 6’2” and about a yr ago was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes (A1C over 8), fatty liver disease, was morbidly obese at almost 300 lbs with high blood pressure, chronic arthritis in my knees, acid reflux, sleep apnea and snoring, headaches, brain fog, fatigue, and I’ve struggled my whole life with bipolar depression, anxiety and ADHD.
I found Dr Ken Berry’s videos on CZcams, and decided to adopt a Proper Human Diet (PHD) which was initially Keto, and transitioned to Ketovore (10-20 total grams of carbs per day) consisting of mostly meat, fish, seafood, eggs, bacon, eggs with limited non-starchy veg and occasional nuts, cheese and berries.
So what happened over the past year…???
I have not only lost 70 lbs (now 225 lbs, lowest weight since I was in my 20’s!!), I have also…
Reversed my Type 2 diabetes (A1C is now normal at 5.4) and fatty liver disease… my blood pressure is now normal, and I no longer have/suffer from:
arthritis in my knees
acid reflux
sleep apnea & snoring
headaches
brain fog
fatigue
And best of all…
my bipolar depression, anxiety and ADHD has gone into full and complete remission and with the help/consultation of my psychiatrist…
I am now OFF ALL MEDS and feel great!! Brain fog is completely gone, I have incredible mental clarity and focus like never before, and I’ve got seemingly limitless energy.
Sugar, carbs, highly refined grains, seed oils and man-made chemicals cause massive inflammation throughout your body and wreak havoc in the mitochondria which are the power center (batteries!) inside each of you cells.
Once the inflammation is gone through eating a Proper Human Diet, and the mitochondria have repaired themselves, you feel incredible physical and mental energy… it’s almost unbelievable until you actually experience it for yourself.
I hope you’ll one day consider starting (or re-starting/resuming) a PHD and see for yourself what it can and WILL do for you!😊😊
It helped your ADHD??!! Very interested to hear about that. I have a very severe case and am looking for any sort of relief. I’m maxed out on meds and they only help minimally.
I'm kind of appalled that no doctor called the severe hypothyroidism already. Your symptoms are so textbook! I hope this is a turning point in your health journey. ❤
Unfortunately if the Dr sees your tsh levels are "normal" they won't do any further testing unless you are insistent with your dr or find a dr who will do a full thyroid panel
There seems to be this epidemic of under- diagnosed and under-treated hypothyroidism. Idk what is going on in our society, but doctors don't seem to get it yet. It seems like functional medicine docs are more willing to treat based on symptoms rather than lab results while endocrinologists are obsessed with TSH levels.
@@cassie1264 it definitely seems that way. I've been able to find a naturopath that uses both the functional and traditional health approach
@@slouisec That's good! My integrative doctor told me that you can be hypo for YEARS before your TSH drops. Also, antibodies can be through the roof (meaning your immune system is attacking your thyroid).
@cassie1264 thank you so much! The antibodies are rough!! I have hasimoto's as well but I think somehow it's in remission (I have no idea how) but I got a flare up one time and hopefully it was just a one time thing. Navigating thyroid health is so tricky!
You're trip to the carnivore diet really sounds alot like my own. My husband kept suggesting it and i adamantly refused it. I couldn't believe that veggies were making me feel horrible. Finally at a point in my life where i honestly didnt want to be here any more, i was so desperate i decided to try it. It changed my life, for real.
Same. I used to be very plant based. Watched too many videos talking about how healthy plants were and I juiced veggies & drank super high oxalate green smoothies… when I finally realized it and cut them out of my diet, my physical health improved tremendously
@@AllThingsConsidered333 yes!
What are your favorite meals
@mermaiddiyartist8119 i love a good ribeye. But, honestly i keep it simple. I work full time outside of the home and have 2 teen boys with busy schedules. And my family doesnt eat carnivore so im still cooking regular meals for them every night. I cook up about 5 lbs of ground beef and divide it into 10 containers and add a tbsp of butter and salt to taste and keep in the fridge to eat throughout the work week. I eat scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast often and ground beef for lunch and dinner. My life is so busy, the easier i keep it, the more i stick to it.
@mermaiddiyartist8119 also, alot time if I'm cooking my family baked chicken or another type of meat, i just add an extra piece of chicken or two and just eat the meat they're having without the sides.
Hey there, just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experiences. It’s really helpful in deciding what our particular individual bodies work best on and cannot tolerate. Your personal story and the results of the end were so helpful! Thank you.
Carnivore is life changing! Meat, especially beef, heals and as a bonus, your body ends up at the weight you’re supposed to be. It helps depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, autoimmune, arthritis, pain, acne and so much more. It also simplifies life! I really hope you can make your way back and get the healing you need.
i love the channel change jaime did for herself a while back because its led to these more “intimate” feeling videos, i love feeling like she’s having a chat with her friends and im here just lending an ear to her experiences. all of this has been so interesting to hear about and im just glad she feels comfortable enough to share all this with us. i adore her so much! and im so happy to be a part of her community
Well said :) ⭐️
"lending an ear to [their] experience" is such great phrase! i'm tucking that one away for later. 💜
Looks like she is reading a script. Sponsored to push an agenda
PLEASE do a video about your hypothyroidism. I am that one person it could help! I also had my thyroid removed in 2022 due to thyroid nodules that were so large I was having trouble breathing. Anyway, everything you're describing is me. I did keto for 10 months. My husband and son both lost almost 100 lbs. each. I lost NOTHING, and I cooked all the food! It's so frustrating. Thank you for posting this video. I feel like I have somewhere to start from in this journey.
I have hypothyroidism too! Before getting your hopes up, you should know that Mikhaila Peterson is lying and her father admits to abusing her wrt her disabilities throughout her childhood. I was shocked and disappointed to see this video accept her ableist lies uncritically.
@@grittysurrealismoh wow 😮 what exactly do I search to find this specific video
@@grittysurrealism Source?
What truly help is spread the word about the F'd up drug/ food industry.
And this way of eating in order to heal stuff like this, and better yet: never get it in the 1st place.
I have been trying to tell Jamie and others about this way of eating!!!
I have been on it and been searching about it for more than 6 months.
Found a good community that truly cares and help!
Look for the Steak and Butter Gal!
Everyone needs to learn about this (no it isnt only to lose weight, it's so much more: get rid of diabetes, chronic inflamation, joint pain, headaches, PCOS, cravings!!!
ALL OF THAT
Get your life back!
The food and health industry ARE industries.
Keeping us hooked and sick to make MONEY.
Spread the word.
@@FocusedFighter777 Generalizations like that rarely work. I generally believe in balance, because a balanced diet is usually the easiest to follow and stick to permanently, but it doesn't surprise me that some people thrive on a meat diet while others thrive on a plant-based diet. I'm a vegetarian and just the thought of eating that much fat and meat is disgusting to me, but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't help someone else. I have celiac disease but no other dietary issues, but I know that plenty of other celiacs react to dairy, corn, soy... you name it. Diet is very individualistic. Please don't tell people that your very restrictive diet works for everyone.
Girl I hope you can find health and don’t worry about that scale❤️ you are amazing and I really enjoy your content!
I’ve been a carnivore for years and my husband is a strict carnivore. You can supplement daily stuff if you want, I do since having babies. This inspired me to try going off dairy to relieve brain fog. Some results take a long time to go through. I’m healing pcos with carnivore and it has practically wiped out my severe depression and anxiety.
Just think of carbs as an addiction and it makes it easier mentally.
Girl I’ve been struggling with so many chronic health issues and the carnivore diet has been on the back of the mind for a while but I’ve been too scared to start for the reasons you mentioned !! Just discovered your channel and I rarely comment but I’m OBSESSED with your energy and personality and this video was so insightful and honest thank you for taking the time to present your experience 🫶🏻 Definitely subscribed ❣️❣️
I am 100% Carnivore. I did 4 months and felt great! Decided to have what I called “cheat moments” where I would eat whatever I wanted for like a special occasion. Every time I did I felt horrible. I decided to take a break and just watched what I ate for 6 weeks. It was the worst thing! My fibromyalgia, my arthritis, my back, stomach issues, eczema psoriasis… EVERYTHING flared up! It was hard going back to carnivore because of the sugar/carb addiction, but after two weeks, I was good again! I’ll never go back off! I have no sugar or carb cravings and I feel so much better! If I drop weight wonderful but that’s just a bonus. Do it for how good you feel. It will take some time to get through the withdrawals but it’s worth it! Good luck to you and your carnivore journey! 💕
Same!
They say cabbage is so good for your digestive system, besides low in carbs. What if you kept just a little of that in a mostly carnivore diet? Would it keep you more metabolically flexible, to prevent reactions from a strictly carnivore diet?
1. I totally support your comments.
2. After two months 98% Carnivore, I too have found that my taste for carbs has gradually diminished.
3. Our systems are being cleansed & detoxified by an animal meat & eggs diet.
4. In my case, my bloating is gone, losing weight, resuming daily exercise, sleep improvement, mental clarity & overall productivity has convinced me that we have finally found the “Proper Human Diet” at last! 🥩🥚💪
@@clutzfrmr3645
1. I agree with you 100%.
2. My Carnivore “Keto-Cheats” are Sauerkraut (with mustard), Guacamole & Costco A2 full-fat plain yogurt.
3. I don’t eat them everyday, but when I do, I don’t feel any adverse effects like I do when I eat refined carbs.
4. Through time & experience, we all must find the individual diet matrix that works best for each of us.
Yep …I can’t eat anything but red ruminant grass fed organic meat and I feel my best as I suffer all kinds of health issues . However I get too thin and skin gets dry but I think it’s because I was drinking coffee . I am now 3 weeks caffeine free and upping my calories , drinking some raw milk too because I can’t stand being that thin . Noticed my body holds fat and eats muscle on strict carnivore but I’m able to enjoy reduced pain levels . I am sooooo full too so it’s hard.
Once I try to eat something else the pain and issues start again .
That dry cough is a symptom of acid reflux. My husband’s first symptom of it was that constant dry cough and burping. We thought it was allergies at first.
How did he treat it?
Yeah I have the same cough when my acid is bad. When I've been pregnant it's horrendous. I get very bad heartburn and reflux and during the pandemic it was a nightmare coughing and trying to explain it was heartburn and not covid. I am still trying to figure out my trigger, I also have IBS and I feel that both are caused by my stomach acid in someway but cannot find the trigger. I've cut out loads of food. It's ten times worse when I've been pregnant. I don't burp outwards which my partner finds very weird I kind of inwards burp. I cannot make myself burp I don't know how people drink a carbonated beverage and belch. Like I just think it's all linked and it's infuriating when you can't get to the bottom of it. I'm 40 next year and it's literally been years and years now.
@@krystalpresland3723 omg I do this too! I cannot for the life of me burb, I do what I call a backwards burb and it's like a hiccup but not, definitely suck in air instead of expelling it lol. I don't usually have acid reflux but I get very bad, painful bloat... I agree with Jaime, it's the freakin dairy for me.
@@FM-ke1wb Going carnivore got rid of it for me, my mom, and husband. Among other benefits.
My cough is so bad when my acid reflux/GERD is acting up and I'm always like "oh no I'm getting sick again".
I tried carnivore diet a month before giving birth to my baby. I was having constant fatigue and was always sleeping. I wanted to be energetic and have enough strength to take care of my baby. I felt just amazing. I had more energy, I stopped napping during the day. Eventually I stopped but certainly will keep it in mind if I won't feel good to do it again.
Same. Well, kinda... I was having *secondary infertility* aka we had kids but all of a sudden couldn't have more. After 5 years I did carnivore and boom, pregnant in 2 months. Then I stayed *mostly* carnivore. I did add fruit for vitamins and minimal carbs (potato).
It was the HEALTHIEST I have ever been. It was insane.
You are an amazing speaker. Please keep us informed, thanks😊
This was FASCINATING. I think it's really important to take all of these lifestyle changes exactly the way you're taking them. I love that you point out that there is no one size fits all and everyone's body will need different stuff and react uniquely to different lifestyles. People can get so ugly when that dogmatic mindset is present. Your presentation was so, so good. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
I'm plant-based (no meat, but some cheese and stuff) but ever since meeting my husband who has Crohn's, I have realized that not everyone has the same affects from the same foods. He can't eat a lot of the foods that are "healthy".
So, everyone should eat the best way for them.
I'm so happy for you for finding what worked well for you! Yay 💜💚
My friend and I are the total opposites- she's nearly vegan from autoimmune stuff and things like Crohn's; I'm the anti-vegan in that alllll the plant foods I LOVED and ate DAILY tried to kill me a bunch. But milk, cheese, and any kind of eggs or meat? They're fine. I would seriously consider fighting someone in a parking lot if I could eat a muffin without days of food poisoning symptoms. I bet she would do the same if she could have milk in her coffee without needing an ambulance.
Absolutely.
Me too!
I have IBD too, and it was very annoying during my worst flaring to not be able to eat most fruits and veggies! Most people would be so confused as to how simple carbs and lean meats were all I could digest. Definitely something most people don't think about!
I have a friend that cured their mysterious crippling joint pain by going vegan, friends who feel better grain free, and lots of fruits and veggies give me horrible stomach cramps so I feel best eating meat and grains. It’s crazy how different people’s health needs can be.
i’ve never seen any of your videos before, but wow! This was an amazing video! you mentioned so many things I can relate to! I’ve tried carnivore went off of it back to eating carbs. I won’t go in through the whole story it’s too much, but your story really helped me and thinking of what I need to do going forward! Good luck in your journey and I’ll definitely subscribe and watch your journey as well! I hope you and your hubby are feeling good, and having a great start to the new year!
It’s so important to make sure you’re getting enough magnesium and electrolytes while doing carnivore, ESPECIALLY in the beginning. ❤
Stuff like this is so interesting because it's so aggressive individualistic. Nothing works the same for anyone. I think that's kind of beautiful. My sister went on the carnivore diet and lost 40lbs, my dad did the same and his liver started to shut down. I did 4 months vegan and lost 30lbs, my brother- in law did 1 month vegan and gained 15 lbs. I used to do cocaine all the time and I have perfect heart health now that I don't do that anymore. My aunt did coke once and had a heart attack. The human body is fascinating
Going vegan is still substantially better than going into a carnivore diet. The consequences are much worse. Your sister might have lost the weight but at what cost?
@letsgoladies No, so it actually became a joke in the family. My father is the only older man In the family who never had alcohol problems. The dude barely drinks. Like maybe a glass of scotch on Christmas, and that's about it. My uncle's, on the other hand, drink a scary amount. Like a handle+ a day, and they've never had liver problem. So my dad got a lot of ball busting for being the non drinker with liver problems
@letsgoladies if I had to guess though. It was fried food that made my dad's liver weak. The man has been obsessed with French fries since the late 70s.
This was a roller coaster
@@forty_two42High fruictos corn syrup causes fatty liver actually faster than alcohol
I remember a video you posted years ago when you said you accidentally took your dog's thyroid medication and felt GREAT, and ever since then I've randomly wondered why no one ever upped your med dosage. But, I'm really happy you're being treated! Hope Nick is feeling better too!
Lmao this comment killed me. Hahaha omg 😂
Loved your video, I’m researching this lifestyle right now, but the POOP montage!!!!! 🤣😂😅 the best ever 😅
Thank you. I have many of the same issues you struggle with. Although I’m much older I’m sure it’s never too late to try something new. My nephew has been doing the carnivore diet for about a year and he keeps telling me how good he feels. He would never tell me I should do it he will let me come to that idea on my own. After listening to your video I am now more convinced than ever. Who knows how much time we have and I know at 72 I want to squeeze every minute of life I can but I really need to get to a healthier place. Thank you for your honest and interesting video. I’m now more convinced than I was previously. Wish me luck luv. ❤all the best to you.
I went paleo in 2015, went from 215 to 185 in about six months. After 4 years I was down to 155 and felt great. When covid came down, for some reason I started eating corn, wheat and sugar again. I am now back over 200 lbs and I feel those extra pounds especially on stairs and ladders. I turn 55 in two days and will be going back to paleo asap. May you all be well and your days be filled with joy.
I really think Paleo is underrated! It's whole foods minus dairy. I probably will do this very soon
You should also try omad! That will have you dropping weight so fast and it makes you feel amazing (after the first initial week).
When you look back in 5 years, you'll realize your expectations were not appropriate for your timeline of recovery; the window of time you gave yourself was way too short. The starting-out path is almost always iterative. You haven't failed. You're learning tons and doing a great job
I just started my second run of carnivore. Trying to make it permanent. Having a rough time because I can't convert my household. So I feel like a person trying to get sober while living with alcoholics. 😭
Rough. Sorry I eat this way but hubby does NOT so I only have one…. Stay STRONG !!!!!!!
@GeorgiaMyersRealtor thank you. I am doing really good this time, better than I thought. I have moments of weakness, but I haven't slipped. I do allow cooked mushrooms in my diet as a treat on those weak days, and it's really working for me. Thank you for the encouragement. It's always nice to know you're not alone. Be well, fellow carnivore 💪
It gets easier every time you do it. I’ve been doing it for over 5 years, but not consecutively. I’ve done it for years at a time and fallen off the wagon. This time feels permanent. Loving how easy life is now.
@Val.Kyrie. thank you for that. I'm still holding strong! However, milk has slipped back into my diet. I need to cut that out because it triggers my sugar cravings. 😩
First of all you are freaking HILARIOUS!!😊
Second, your honesty and ability to be real and straightforward is super refreshing…
Lastly, I would LOVE to watch future videos documenting your second/next carnivore journey.
I bet that the next time around, based on what you learned the last time plus what you picked up from speaking with Dr Bright (and other experts in the Carnivore/PHD community), you will have even better and longer lasting success and cure your physical and mental health issues like I was able to do by following a Proper Human Diet (which is Ketovore in my case).
Can’t wait to watch these “Carnivore 2.0” videos Jaime!
I have had Hasimoto Thyroiditis for 20 yrs, been on meds the entire time, went through menopause...can't tell you how tired I am of hearing my weight gain and difficulty losing weight is all in my head or I'm just lazy. I feel you! You are not alone.
Just FYI - Dr Ken Berry's wife Neisha (who's an RN) has Hashimoto's as well. She has her own YT channel, as well as being on his quite often, and they have various videos discussing it.
Same! Diagnosed in 1992 just out of high school, not put on medication until 1996 when I basically begged for help. It never has made me feel much better, my weight crazy fluctuates on its own, hair falls out, skin is dry and awful, so many pains in joints, dizziness, major hives outbreak that last a year and then go away... most of the time I feel 100 years old. It sucks so bad!
I felt that similar type of relief when i was finally diagnosed with PCOS after years of being told nothing was wrong. I'm so happy you found a great doctor who helped you!
What you shared is awesome a lot of information! Thanks so much for being so honest and thorough in your journey.
I would so appreciate to hear all rhe things you are currently taking or doing to heal after being diagnosed by Dr. Bright
I was vegan for a few years when I was dealing with chronic illness. It worked great for me and helped me to heal. I tried keto for a bit and while I did lose weigh it absolutely tanked my health. The carnivore diet is so fascinating to me because I know it would mever work for me but I love seeing how much it helps others. The human body is amazing and diets are not a one size fits all. Excited to finish the video and see how your journey goes with it!
Yeah whereas I was a strict vegetarian with a dietitian helping me perfect my diet. I still had anemia so I'd probably do terribly on vegan. I do really well on something similar to the Mediterranean diet and love anytime people find whatever diet they feel best on
Same happened to me. Keto must be done for a while only, it can damage the kidneys… and I feel better with more veggies than protein. For animals sake, too. At least we can try buying free range animals --animals are suffering because of the abominable animal industry.
@kimtalentino1104 tbh, meat is practically a byproduct of producing enough fat to keep the world going and we honestly can't switch that over to plant based on the scale we'd need to ib order to get ride of factory farming. It would actually destroy the environment
@@kimtalentino1104do some research on how many animals die so you can eat plants, more animals, ecosystems die because of crops. Ecosystems and habitats are destroyed permanently so crops can be grown, animals are killed so they don't come in and eat them, they are sprayed with pesticides that kill animals and bugs. It's very sad that the people only see what they want Also look into sustainable animal farming, it is possible to do it humanely.
@@jackiem2899 well actually the majority of crops go towards feeding livestock so taking out the animal products part actually reduces how much crops are consumed
"This diet didn't feel reatrictive at first." This comment makes sense - I don't think any diet feels restrictive when you first start it because you're seeing immediate results; you're feeling good and excited being on that high of losing weight. Reality of the restrictiveness sets in after a time, and your body starts craving everything you cut out.
True and you’re doing something new and novel at the beginning so not really a restriction at first.
Then there’s the plateau. Then you go back to eating normally. Then you put all the weight back on. It’s like the merry go round of a diet that we’ve all done before. I’ve been there. So I see it. I really like Jaime. I hope she gets what she needs so she can feel better. This ain’t it though.
@@tiffanyh1274 I agree completly.
@@taylore6677 it’s hard… and it’s not even like she’s to blame. Diet culture got us all wrapped up. It’s everywhere being pushed on us everyday. Social media is relentless with this stuff. So. It’s to be expected you know.
@@tiffanyh1274 Oh, absolutely. I place no blame on her, or any of us who have been roped into these "miracle" diets that are unrealistic and unsustainable, and ultimately harmful (in more than one way). I'm really rooting for Jaime.
you're hilarious! I really enjoyed watching your video. Thanks for sharing your journey
Oh im so glad i found you.....i too am interested in carnivore diet just havent fully started but watching you is giving me the push i need & im now subscribed so will keep watching your journey 😊😊😊
GURL, I was also just diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I gained like 80 pounds in the last 6 years and just started taking medication for it. Life changing. I hope you also start feeling better soon, I already have alot more energy and my inflammation has decreased. I am so happy for you, it feels like a weight is lifted off of your shoulders because you feel like you are going crazy trying everything and it just doesn’t work. For most of my life I was pretty thin,I actually was a runner at my college and was under 5 min in the mile…so when this started happening I didn’t know what was going on. Again not really congrats on the diagnosis…but I am so happy you are healing.
Hypothyroidism tanks your metabolism. It SUCKS! Since you are a newbie, I'd recommend finding a functional practitioner, getting thorough bloodwork, and watching your iron and vitamin D levels as they will be chronically low. Make sure you get your T3 and T4 tested along with your TSH. If your doc says TSH is all you need.....run. Please get your hormones tested. I had estrogen dominance unchecked for years and it tanked my gallbladder and ovaries. I now take progesterone and testosterone to keep it in balance. I got diagnosed with hypothyroid at 21 and now I turn 40 tomorrow. I want to spare you from the things I learned too late! All the best to you!!
@@brynbailey7132 Thank you, I have been looking into the extra tests and researching more into it. I actually have a family history of hypo from my mom and hyper from my dad. This has helper her too because she has been struggling even with the medication and I think she definitely needs to have extra tests run. I am definitely looking into your suggestions. Thank you so much for the advice!
@@danajohnson8248 my dad got diagnosed at 26 and me at 21! Super hereditary!! He gave me all the good genes lol 😆
Please spread the truth:
When you eat normal food (food humans ARE supposed to eat!), your body doesnt run on sugar anymore, but fat.
It burns fat. Fat is fuel. (But you need to be zero carbs, zero sugar, including fake stevia and so on. THEN the body switches to how it was always designed to work, instead of storing sugar/carbs.)
Then it is beginning to heal, and then you develop proper healthy body, healthy mind.
This way of eating isnt about losing weight, (losing weight come as a bonus), but getting your life back by getting rid of diabetes, joint pain, PCOS, gout, obesity, chronic inflamation, etc etc ETC.
It's real.
Only thing I would warn about is that adrenal fatigue really isn’t a thing according to the Endocrine Society, so be careful about any supplements suggested to you & do some research on them before taking them bc you can mess with your adrenal glands unintentionally. I learned it wasn’t a thing when I was dxed by a dr I didn’t know was naturopathic & decided to look more into the condition to see what I could do to help it.
Why do people feel the way they do if adrenal fatigue is not real? Just curious
Adrenal fatigue is a thing regarless if it isn't recognized by the medical community. I found a DO who helped me out of depression, adrenal fatigue and hashimotos where as my MD just medicated me into being a zombie.
@@krashkal what did you do for adrenal and depression just curious?
@@krashkal I disagree, & adrenal support supplements sometimes prescribed can hurt your adrenal glands & cause issues with the production of hormones that you need. It can take months to reverse. I’m glad that what you’re doing works for you, but that means that your DO has you on a regimen that’s good for you, it doesn’t mean adrenal fatigue is real. A lot of the general advice given for AF are lifestyle improvements that will make anyone feel better.
Hey Jaime, God bless you! Please keep us updated on your journey. 💓
thank you for this advice! Please keep us updated
I’ve been carnivore for a year and have lost 60lbs and am off all anxiety and depression meds 🎉
This was beautiful. So honest and sincere. I own a wellness center in Clearwater FL and support clients who wish to be plant based but as you mention, the plants we eat today are very different than the plants we used to eat. Carnivore is a great diet to those who are looking to eliminate inflammation and simplify their gut microbiome. I loved it and can't wait to go back in it in the New Year. If you are ever in my neck of the woods I would love to gift you a free day of therapies! Huge fan right here lol. Keep keeping it real
This is the first video off yours I watch. I really like your editing and your humor 🙂
Greatings from germany
You are so funny and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you sharing your journey…I’m in the beginning stages of this eating journey and trying to figure out why I want to go against all we’ve been told over the years…I identified with a lot of your struggles and issues that never seemed to have an answer…nice to know you finally got answers
I'm on day 26 of carnivore and I lost the first 25 pounds so fast. It was probably the first 2 weeks. It was water weight and bloating, but now I've been in ketosis and am losing body fat much slower. I've found eating more fat than protein works really well for me and while I am counting my calories and macros, it's mostly because I want to compare data points to look for trends, or if I notice something weird. My goal is 90 days and then I'll evaluate if I want to keep going or stop.
I will say that this way of eating has changed the way I look at food in general. I've sought comfort in food for almost 40 years and now I find my comfort in Jesus. It's a hard mental shift, especially around the holidays, because food is tied to so many memories and traditions, but my health is worth it. Make sure if you do this you have a clear why; why do you want to do it? I want to lose some weight, get my blood sugar under control, and be a better runner, and that's what keeps me going. When I don't see the scale move but my mile is getting faster, I don't feel as deflated.
Great! You have a great attitude. Keep watching videos for encouragement and read comments! Getting thru the Holidays will be great and you will feel empowered
Jesus is a hoax. Find your own ethnic Gods. They have a vested interest in your well-being.
Hey Maggie, can I ask what does a day on carnivore look like for you? I am trying to rely on Jesus for comfort and not food too. I am wanting to start carnivore. Thanks girl
Fasted cardio really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Your body has no energy to go off of. I’ve watched a lottttt of your videos & am genuinely getting concerned with all of this Yo-Yo-ing & I feel like you are so hard on yourself 🫤☹️ sending you all of the good vibes!!! ❤️🫶🏼
Fasted weight lifting has been shown to be far more beneficial than fed weight lifting.
Cardio is garbage.
@@Val.Kyrie. I weight lift between 1.5-2 hours 5x a week. I personally can’t do fasted weight lifting as I have no energy whatsoever lol. I always make sure to have healthy carbs before each weight lifting session for my personal max benefits
Jaime, if you haven’t heard of it yet look into Laryngopharyngeal Reflux, also called LPR or Silent Reflux. I have had all the same symptoms you have (trouble swallowing, coughing, clearing my throat a lot, feeling like I can’t get a deep breath..) and discovered on my own that what I have is LPR. It’s been confirmed by two different doctors now. And how is it treated? You guessed it-diet changes, especially limiting dairy. I know 😩 but we have to take care of ourselves, right?
Also, getting genetic testing was eye-opening for me too. Gives a lot of info that other tests don’t.
PS I’m a thyroid cancer survivor also (2011). So glad you’re here with us to share your wonderful sense of humor with us. Wishing you many many more years of good health and happiness! 🤍
I loved this so much. You are such a lovely person, i'm so happy to have found your chanel❤ good luck on your health journey, i'm rooting for you!
JAIME THE high B12 and low folate could be an indication of MTHFR genetic mutation!!!! You should ask you dr about it because finding it out for my personal health journey has been massively helpful. ❤
Good advice!
I wish more Americans knew about MTHFR
Came here to say this!! There are, of course, several levels of severity when it comes to MTHFR gene mutation and it all comes down to chromosomal inheritance. There's also more than one chromosome that can be affected (that medical research has discovered thus far) and it's a good idea to get phenotyped.
was coming here to say that!
Yes, and if you get a double dose, like my daughter did, it can be overwhelming until it’s identified. Genetic testing can be very enlightening.
I love that Dr. Bright did that deep dive for you. I had a break down the other day and wished I could have that kind of doctor that would take all of that information and investigate it. I feel like I have so many ailments that I deal with and doctors will blame it on my weight but not dig into why I keep facing drastic side effects from dieting (mostly mental health dips.) Like every Dr only wants to look at one thing at a time, it's infuriating. I almost cried when you said she looked at all of your blood work from your entire life. What a godsend! If I could find a doctor like that that I could afford it would be a dream!
It’s so sad to me that doctors don’t just automatically investigate for their patients. No matter the affordability.
I 100% have those exact thoughts and feelings! I too struggle with various medical issues and have prayed for someone to do that kind of deep dive to help! It’s sad that these days most people are treated like a dollar sign 😢
try a DO instead of a DR. they are supposed to treat the body more as a whole than traditional DR
They only look at one thing at a time to keep you going back so they can make more money. And specialists who do deeper research on their patients are not cheap because it takes a lot more time and energy than just keeping the intervention surface level.
Unfortunately the health care system is a business and it's rare the doctors who are there mainly because they care about the profession and other people.
I hope you find one that works for you and helps you feel better.
FKN 💀 at the Dr. Ken Berry mashup 😂
Thank you so much for your content. I've been watching for years and love the evolution!
Thank you for telling us your journey, i really appreciate hearing about it. Can you tell us how you are dealing with your cortisol issue please? xx
Girl yes! Nutritional eating is so healing, and I’m so glad to hear you’re doing so well on this diet!! I know someone who has been on a strict carnivore diet to help battle her autoimmune issues (she’s been struggling with chronic pain, inflammation, skin irritation, and internal infections since childhood) and she’s doing AMAZING!
I would like to add - not every diet works for every person. I do way better on a more plant based diet, but I fully believe different people have different nutritional needs. And I’m thrilled to see that people are becoming more accepting of different lifestyles!!
Going carnivore saved my son's life, no joke. He had been in immense pain for a couple of years with severe GI issues (IBS-C) plus other AI issues such as nerve pain, joint pain, vocal tics, he had intense insomnia, and felt like he had fibromyalgia. He went carnivore October 2022 and immediately felt better. He's in fantastic shape now and rarely has any pain or discomfort. And, he loves to work out and is putting on muscle. He's such an inspiration.
I agree. I believe in an ancestral diet. I am a descendent of butchers and thus do rather well on the carnivore diet.
Starting October 1st I'm going to go carnivore with some modifications to incorporate some dairy and potatoes.
@@skeinofadifferentcolor2090hey me too! Good luck ❤
@@Mrs.and.Mom.of.5 *descendant
Maybe it was just autocorrect, but decedent means "a person who has died"
I actually did an experiment that I made up by myself. I decided to pick foods that are high in nutrients and very nourishing and try to cut out processed food completely. So, my largest portion was meat. The second largest was the vegetable, which I would usually pick sweet potatoes, broccoli, or asparagus. And the smallest portion would be a fruit. So I'd have an apple, or melon, or an orange. Every now and then, I'd have italian garlic pasta, but the pasta was made from vegetable puree and some flour. It was amazing! I started dropping weight like crazy! Not only did I lose weight, but I felt astonishingly better. I had more energy and was a lot sharper in my thinking. The only downfall is that groceries are expensive. I usually don't buy groceries all at once because I live paycheck to paycheck. So I usually like to play everything by ear so I don't overspend. But, I am trying my best to find ways to fit it in my budget because I loved the diet.
This sounds incredible! Could I ask about the pasta? Did you make it yourself or was it a certain brand from the grocery store?
I've been trying to cut processed food out starting this past week, but of course my period depression and hunger made me immediately backtrack and eat all the bagels 😂
Once the red devil is gone it'll be easier to keep trying. It's nice to hear this plan works for someone
This is ideal IMO. Dr. Berg is awesome, and I made an excel sheet for tracking our family's vitamins and minerals. I have to be wary of nightshade and cruciferous veggies due to thyroid issues. Starch is limited for me too and I feel my best. ❤
This is an important comment! Almost any kind of special diet, especially carnivore or whole food plant based or raw vegan, is pretty elitist nowadays. Being able to afford organic produce and to survive without quick, filling foods such as bread or cereal isn't common nowadays. And even if you have the cash, you still need the time to prepare your own food as you usually can't eat out or eat processed snacks. Working full time and having a family often prevents people from having better diets. I wish healthy food was more easy and accessible
OMGoodness! Thank you for sharing! Your video has opened my eyes. I'm 55 and did KETO for 5 yrs and lost 111lbs in the first 3 yrs, then nothing. I will admit that I was doing dirty Keto by the end of my KETO journey. In those last 2 yrs I started to gain weight. I started the Carnivore diet about 5 months ago. I felt I needed a diet that kept me away from Carbs period. In these last 5 months I lost 6pounds. Though I am frustrated, I feel so much better on the inside. I did start an Iodine supplement and am starting to notice better sleep. I will go and have a complete blood work done and check for adrenal fatigue, cortisol and the big not very often done thyroid tests. Thank you for shedding a bright light on things that most aren't talking about. I look at my health journey from a "first you fix the inside and then the outside will follow suit" approach. Weight loss is a positive side effect to healing. Thanks again for all you do!
When I was going through chemo, all I craved was hot meat! Like ripping through chicken drumsticks, steak, I wanted it piping hot, and didn’t even need sauce or seasoning. My body was telling me that I needed meat! I’ve gone through phases of not eating meat, but I’ve pretty much have always been a meat eater. But never craved it more in my entire life then when I was going through chemo, my body was being attacked by cancer, and the drugs to combat the cancer. And it was screaming for HOT MEAT!
I'm a type 1 diabetic. I did carnivore for 2 months once. It was the only time in 19 years where there were some days I didn't even need my insulin and maintained constant normal blood sugar levels. Skin stopped drying out and my hair quit falling out. Mucus in my throat went away. I had more energy than I knew what to do with. My husband said I de-aged. I was 28 and my husband said if he didn't know me, he would have thought I was like 19. Problem is the diet is so freaking hard to stick to. I did great until I started consuming cheese and cream again. It took me a long time after the fact to realize that there was a correlation there.
When you're on carnivore and you still feel hungry avoid pasteurised cheese.. Raw grass fed is the best and you feel great and not eat more than needed.
It's all the beneficial bacteria that helps to balance your hormones.
Yes so hard to stick to it . I did 6 weeks may to June of 2023 and it was so beneficial. Months later I’m still much better for it I can’t Waite to give it a go again . Willpower I sure hope I find you again
Jaime, I love always hearing about you seeking out opinions from multiple doctors when you know something isn't right and telling others to so the same. Many, many people have a doctor they don't like or who flat out doesn't listen, and they don't get a second opinion or change doctors. Maybe that's because it can be a huge hassle or because it's reassuring to hear everything is fine even when deep down you know it isn't, but your health is worth it! Thanks for sharing your stories!
It so ENTERTAINING to watch you recount your experience. Love it! You are REAL & HONEST.
It's like she couldn't believe positive things can happen to her
Wow!!! That was an incredibly detailed video. Thank you so much. It gave me a lot of food for thought. ❤
Great video! I'm really glad you gave it a try and had some good positive takeaways from it. Very sorry to hear that you had some issues as well, but I'm glad that Dr Bright was able to help; she's fantastic.
I did have a couple of thoughts though that maybe could help you or others in the same situation. Obviously any sort of prolonged issues that aren't able to resolve on their own with proper nutrition should definitely get blood work done to see if there are underlying issues like thyroid deficiency, and correct these as needed. It makes a huge difference, and while a lot of people with thyroid issues will improve on a carnivore diet, obviously if you don't have a thyroid then you will be reliant on medications. The reference range is that are normally used from the lab or completely inaccurate because they just give you an average for the community in general. The first few thousand people that come into the lab that year becomes the reference ranges, which is why the reference range is can change yearly, and change from lab to lab. What you want to look at is what is the range for healthy young adults who have no medical issues. Those are very different ranges.
You mentioned that you were finding your self having to force yourself to finish your meals and steaks in order to get enough calories. You really don't need to do this, if meat starts tasting bad then your body is telling you and no uncertain terms that you don't need it and to stop eating. This can be very strange when we are eating a lot less, or sometimes a lot more, than we think we need but if you're eating what you're supposed to eat then you can trust your body signals. When we are losing excess body fat we simply don't need to pull in as much food as we would otherwise. This is very common. Once you get down to a stable body fat percentage most people find that their appetite nearly doubles. I experienced that myself. So until then, just listen to you taste buds, and eat fatty meat until it stops tasting good. Once it stops tasting good, just trust your body that it knows when to stop. However still taste good, you should keep eating until it stops.
As to weight loss, especially when you're working out this can be a bit misleading if you're just looking at the scale. If you're lifting weights and doing regular exercise you will put on muscle which will offset the amount of weight you lose from fat on the scale. I lost 23 lb in the first 10 days just by dropping vegetables, I was already not eating carbs, and after that I stayed the exact same weight for several months but I was changing visibly in the mirror so I recognized that I was putting on muscle and burning fat.
Dairy is definitely a major issue for most people, and a very common cause for stalled weight loss, excess inflammation, and even weight gain on a carnivore diet.
I would actually say that your B12 was in an optimal range, again going back to the reference ranges that the lab uses and the reference ranges that you see when you measure healthy young adults. Most people getting lab tests are unwell and overweight, and that's not who you want to measure yourself against. You want to measure yourself against young healthy people.
Not everyone can metabolize folate properly, and some even have a gene mutation called MTHFR, and if you're in this category what this means is you need to eat a bit of liver once or twice a week. That's really the only supplement you'll ever need on a carnivore diet, it's just a bit more of the good stuff. If you're eating regeneratively raised grass fed and finished meat or eggs this will have many times the amount of nutrients such as folate and likely you won't need liver, but if you're not and your folate is low for whatever reason just add in a bit of liver a couple of times a week and you'll be fine.
Low vitamin d levels has been strongly associated with excess adipose tissue, as it gets sequestered within the fat as it's a fat soluble vitamin. So this can be why circulating levels of vitamin d can be quite low. 27 is very low though, so getting in the sun without sunscreen and taking a supplement is probably a good idea. There is a lot of vitamin d in fatty meat though, especially grass-fed and finished, and butter is a good source as well. Vitamin d is not just a vitamin though, really what it is is a hormone, so it's good to have that in more optimal ranges. Again looking at healthy young adults, a better range is 140 to 180.
Feeling pretty miserable and crummy towards the end with being a long-term ketosis can sometimes be due to electrolyte disturbances, though I more commonly find that when people are having cramps and similars experiences it's more to do with dehydration. But something to keep in mind. If you do take electrolytes, just make sure it's a version that doesn't have any sweeteners or flavorings.
And then last but not least, if you're having trouble with cravings getting back on a carnivore diet try to eat more fatty meat and this will often suppress those. Carbo diction is a real thing, but like any other addiction you get through it before too long. So just make sure you are staying well fed on fatty meat, and if you get carb or sugar cravings just eat some meat or eggs right then and there until that goes away. Usually after a week or two of eating as much as your body is asking you for the carb cravings go away.
Good luck with it and I hope that you are able to get on and feel great as a result!
It’s incredible that you took the time to not only speak with Jamie but that you commented here for her and viewers to see; I hope other doctors follow your example. It’s a true gift to those of us trying to improve our health through this diet. Thank you!! And thank you to Jamie for giving this a shot and sharing your experience with this video!!
Wow. Thank you for so much information.
I think Jaime knew how deadly plants could be when she reviewed The Happening
😂
LMAO
ALLERGIES ARE THE TRUE HAPPENING
This is fascinating, and I hope to hear more about your personal journey! Thank you for sharing!❤
I just started carnivore...loving! Thank you for this video it feels like talking to a gf😊

P.S. yes on the jelly about Bright and Chaffee - it's the only jelly in my day.
Beckyyyyyy 🎉🎉 thanks for all your help!
You seem much happier in this video than your last handful of videos, it made me glad to see 💕 Its all about finding what specific foods will work for YOU, no one diet works for everyone. Also finding the right doctor(s) who can properly diagnose you, which it sounds like you are on the right path! I suffered with chronic illness and it took years of going through doctors, specialists, naturopaths, and even therapists before landing on a Functional Medicine doctor who finally properly diagnosed (and cured) me. I hope, and believe, you are on the verge of a breakthrough! Keep pushing through the hard stuff, and you are going to get there 💪🏻🙌🏻 Sending prayers and positive thoughts, love!!
I did a sort of modified clean Keto diet. Lost over 50 lbs… Then did a mostly high protein (almost 100% carnivore) low oil/butter diet…. While allowing myself to eat basically whatever on the weekends to cycle.
I dropped 30 lbs in about 1 month and a half …. Went from like 185lbs to 155lbs QUICK. No workouts, legit this diet is for realllll
Omg im ded, i usually dont care one lick about potty humor but your joke about dr berry saying poop over and over cracked me up big time. God bless you for making the joke AND splicing some together like that holy crap
Could it be less the Meat aspect and more the absence of processed food in this diet that helps people so much?
that's what i'm thinking!
You would think but a lot of people going into carnivore used to be keto, paleo or vegan. It’s intriguing.
That’s exactly what it is.
Vegetables aren’t processed?
@@chelseaesposito4860it’s a fad
My sister has an actual allergy to red meat. It’s from being bitten by a tick and it’s actually getting pretty common in the US. Fortunately she’s vegan lol
I was wondering if anyone would bring up alpha-gal syndrome.
I heard about that this year! Such a crazy thing. I hope your sister's doing OK.
yep....just got diagnosed last year. sucks.
@@DaniS398i know several people with this where I live. My uncle had it for about ten years and then it just went away. I also know a guy who said acupuncture really helped his symptoms.
The C word can also make you allergic to meat
I'm so glad you're finally finding answers. God bless you ❤
Thanks for doing this video. I can definitely relate. Any update on fixing your thyroid. I can't get in to see doctor Elizabeth Bright till march. Just ordered bloodwork waiting tor the results I'm day 3 and have had thyroid issues since 2003 it hurst to hold a pen right now
Hypothyroid makes so much sense. When you were describing what you felt like near the end - exhausted, burning arms, crabby etc. - that rang the hypothyroid bells for me. You'll probably feel loads better working with a practitioner who can help you to safely elevate your thyroid function.
Right Jamie. You can definitely find a hormone specialist who can prescribe thyroid for you. It’s absolutely essential. Nothings gonna work without it.
Iodine is something all of us, regardless of diet, should be supplementing.
@InsolentVillager, Within safe levels of course. Too much iodine can also damage thyroid function.
I agree. It explains her inability to lose weight and her other issues. If she can get her body regulated she might be able to digest plants which are essential for human health.
@user-jo5ml8et1z Except no plant is "essential". The entire spectrum of all nutrients is available in a meat based diet. Name one that isn't. Conversely, I can name many that you can not get from a vegetarian diet.
This is fascinating. When you think about how everyone's bodies, health struggles and lifestyles are so different from one another, it starts making sense that there's really no one-size-fits-all diet
There is one actually and it's CICO but Jaime has a hard time believing in thermodynamics. The only difference between people is their tolerances, allergies, etc which don't have anything to do with loss or gain but inflammation and other stuff.
My stomach would send me into crippling bouts of pain if I did the carnivore diet so I have to do low fat vegetarian. I say eat whatever makes you feel healthy.
@@HappytravellerkimmyI did the carnivore diet for 2 months and it made me extremely sick to the point of ending up at the hospital (without going into details).
I was following all the principles to the letter, read the books before starting, took minerals and electrolytes every day, etc etc I was so sure I would get super healthy as they all push but it was the opposite. And I also lost a third of my hair. Now I’m on the Mediterranean diet and feel great, almost 20lbs gone.
There is one size fits all and its whats recommended by credible sources: a mixed diet low In cholesterol and high in mixed whole fiber, nutrition and fats, this is pretty consistent among everyone as well as its also the most flexible and diverse (: it excludes processed foods and puts importance on a diverse diet , this also helps the allergy thing too
It's not totally true , we are the same species , we have the same complex system, organs etc.. the carnivore diet CAN work for anyone if someone know really the human body. There is no recipe for everyone and carnivore diet is not a recipe , it's a concept we as human have evolve from it , so each people can need different ratio of fat and proteins , not the same frequency of meal , not the same amount of electrolytes and water, not everyone will take the same time to get 100% carnivore. But everyone CAN get the results others get on that way of living 🎉
Subscribed because of the “my poop” x “fergalicious” sampling 😂 Bless you
Girl you are so freaking relatable and hilarious I love your videos thank you 💕
I wanted to say, thank you for how you talked about veganism in this video…. My diet is vegetarian but, just like you, the dairy, especially, causes me issues. It’s so crazy that there can be so many people saying certain foods give them issues and they can be dismissed. I’m glad you found something that worked for you!😊
"I'm a work in progress." Well said! I appreciate your willingness to be so open and honest about your life, it really encourages me in my own struggles! Thanks so much Jaime!
Jaime, I have to say you had me really worried talking about your weired suffocation sensation, combined with pains in your teeth, jaw, and neck, plus having swollen feet. That sounds CLASSIC heart-related symptoms! However, since you have been diagnosed hypothyroid (is it hashimoto's autoimmune?), it could be related to that. Please keep that checked and have them test you not only for T3, T4, and TSH but also antibodies. I am such a carb addict I have never been able to try an elimination diet to see if it made me feel better. I suck.
Keto/Carnivore has really calmed my Mast Cell Activation. 6 months in, 30lbs down and significantly improved autoimmune disease and Arthritis pain. It's life for me.
Give us an update when you can. Dr Bright is truly bright. She’s amazing. She also comes to steak and butter gang monthly meetings. With her support you can adjust and find what works for you, to heal and long term.
I lost about 100lbs on a primarily meat-only diet. I have MS and it put my condition into remission. I still suppliment with various vitamins and do take medications, but my head is clearer and my energy is coming back.
I'm so happy for you! I have a former friend with MS and it killed me to see the way she ate, because I know those foods are accelerating her condition (sugar, processed carbs, artifical ingredients, etc). It lightens my heart to hear an MS success story like yours though 💕
@LihlSerena Thank you 😊
I discovered I had so many food allergies after I got sick that I overhauled my entire life. I'm not perfect by far, but it makes a huge difference in my quality of life.
I have lost about 40 pounds in about 4 months on keto-vore. But I’m so glad I listened until you mentioned your thyroid! I think that is likely why I have stalled a bit. Thank you for being so detailed and transparent - and hilarious 😂 Love you!
