- We all know it's harder for older people to lose weight, right? Well, not in my experience. I've managed to lose 70 pounds in 7 months on the carnivore diet, and I'm 60 years old. My health has improved, too!

☆ ABOUT ME ☆
I am a former tech worker who lived in NYC for 30 years. When I reached 50, I set out my own and created a business selling on Amazon using their FBA program. Great fun, but neither career left much time for healthy living.
I turned 60 last year (2023). I found myself 110 pounds overweight and seriously out-of-shape, pre-diabetic, with sky-high cholesterol, and unable to walk for more than 20 minutes without resting.
I decided to make some major changes. I shut down my Amazon business and started living frugally. Health is more important than money, especially as we grow older. In August 2023 I started the carnivore diet and lost 65 pounds in 3 months.
Now I’m hooked! I can walk for miles without a rest now. My cholesterol is within normal levels as is my blood pressure. I am no longer pre-diabetic, and I feel 30 years younger!
After experiencing the benefits, I’ve become passionate about sharing my story to help others.

16 year carnivore here. Meat and eggs only. I'm 65 years old and in outstanding health and fitness. I will never eat plants again.
Bravo! I can't see why I'd ever change and I'm only 9 months in. Feels ridiculously good and makes life easy because of how minimalist, cheap, and time saving it is. Wish I wasn't allergic to eggs.
61 year old. I started carnivore in January. So far have lost 15lbs, went off blood pressure medication, my mood has improved. I love this way of eating, no longer have to meal plan, just eat whatever I have in the freezer. My husband and I did realize that we do not really like chicken, so gave it to my children. Will continue this way of eating for the time being.
Yes, that’s one of my favorite things about it, how simple it is!
Yeah most carnivores seem to go off chicken. I think because it lacks the nutrients and your body becomes better at signalling what you need.
@nathansmith6914 Yeah, nothing against chicken or pork, but it's just bleh compared to juicey red meat. I like a tuna or Salmon steak occasionally with my beef steaks. Pork skins/cracklins or fresh sliced pork belly/bacon for snacks.
I’m 65 & never imagined I would weigh 126 LB again let alone rid myself of a cane, diabetes, & depression, but have been Carnivore for a year & now run & do whatever I want😀💪🥩.
Thanks for spelling it out. You are so right my man❣️
That’s great!
Very good video. I started started carnivore in 2016. I was very ill and doctors were no help, so I decided to do the opposite of what they told me. My health improved remarkably, in a year I was completely changed. Every day I see people who seem to enjoy illness. They identify with their problems "my cancer, my diabetes "its in group mentality. Getting outside the group is scary for some people and for some reason diet is a big identifier. I am a formerly obese diabetic cancer survivor, now I am just one of those guys. 65 years old 6'2" 200 lbs ,fit strong and healthy, my life is better than at any time in the past. God gave me a new life and every day is a blessing!
I love your way of looking at things! And it’s so true, many people do start identifying with their problems in a way that’s not helpful. I’m glad you were able to transcend old patterns.
It’s a shame that the whole world doesn’t know this truth. It’s like knowing the greatest secret, that’s free, and not only does nobody know it, they don’t even want it. Keep on stacking up the evidence based proof that this is such a healing lifestyle, and the word will spread. Good job
i'm still fearful after hearing about fat negatively since the 80's. i have heart and thyroid disease. i'm meat based for weeks but still eat a few carbs (avocado, olives, kimchi, type stuff). 1st day on just meat had aural migraine and 1st night woke up with racing heart (took some metoprolol and went back to sleep). 2nd day another migraine and evening skipped heart beats (they bug me but not dangerous), again woke up with racing heart). i ordered some electrolytes. i do have salt, potassium and magnisium already but maybe i need more. i'm just going to take it day by day. i've got 100 extra pounds stuck to me for the past 7 years. funny how gorging on bags of chips (old me) never cause migraines etc...the body is weird.
94 days on carnivore. feel great. 70 yr female. keep up the good work
Awesome!
I am 59 and I lost 135 lb 10 years ago on carnivore and have continued and maintained and reversed all the medical issues. I have friends that saw me transform too and they still argue 😂 we have our life back 💪
Funny how that happens. I have one friend who still insists on coaching me about my diet, telling me which vegetables I need to add. I always cut those types of conversations short.
@@Jaylwoodworth me too - I know what I know
Congrats! Thriving carnivore here at age 61! Meat heals
Yes it does
82nd comment... I'm 81 and carnivore going on 3 years in May.. never been better and it's never too late to start.👍🥩🔥. Good video, thanks so much for sharing.
You started at 78? Good on you!
Good for you!!!! I’m almost 79 and I am thriving on meat too.
I was talking to a women in a hospital waiting room once. she had type 2 diabetes and I gave her some suggestions. her response was she couldn't give up her donuts, can you believe it !
There are a lot of people like her.
Makes absolutely no sense 🫤
Yes, I can! My wife's niece is in her 40s, severely obese, and T2D with many serious health problems. She won't do carnivore or keto because she can't give up McDonald's food and Coca-Cola!
well there is such a thing as food addiction. if it was an alcoholic or druggie that wouldn't give it up, you might understand the addictive struggle. food addicts exist. i've been one most of my 65 years. yes i've been on a million diets and lost weight but it always came back and more. right this moment i'm watching carnivore vids at 1am. i'm pretty much ketovore now but i am night eating burger patties with salt. hope and pray it ends and i have the relief a lot of you get and able to stop eating early in the day!!!!
Hello Jay, my WHY was med problems, Rheumatory arthritis, 220 lbs, pre diabetic, Acid reflex, High blood pressure, feet pain, Snoring, fatty liver and morbidly obese. On 9 different meds, 2 were injections.
At 56 I had to do something or I was going to quit my job because of pain. I went keto under 20 carbs a day, . Lost most of my med problems 160 lbs, but still had high BP, At 59.5, I went full carnivore and quit all alcohol. 3 years later at 62.5, I am free of all of my meds and no med problems. Weight holding at 140. Now 63 and loving this lifestyle! No more carbs, alcohol or sugars for me, just meat and water.
Wow, that’s great! I never got to the point of having so many problems, but I’m sure I would have if I didn’t start carnivore when I did.
We're a people that insist that our own species doesn't have a species appropriate diet, even though, at the same time, we acknowledge that every other species does. Carnivore for life!!!!
60 yr old forever chubby girl here. Been on carnivore for 4 months now, and so easily list 35 lbs. I feel fabulous and confident. My vegan friends are driving me absolutely crazy, but I just have to say "you do you"
Carnivore is the best the
Keep going, it gets even better.
Hey Jay.. 64 here too..i have to say I watch a lot of content creators.. 14.5 months in and never going back.. down 106 pounds.. loving it..
Great work! I’ve got another 30-40 to go.
@@Jaylwoodworth I have to say, there hasn't been a day where it has felt like work.. this woe was made for m..
Hi, Jay -- I'm sure your video will be encouraging to so many over-60s who feel that they're "stuck" with being overweight. I am over 70, and am now weigh less than I did in high school! Over the years, I've often heard that after about age 40, it's very difficult to lose any weight, and that you might need to settle for a higher weight for the rest of your life. After adopting the Carnivore diet, though, I am no longer yo-yo dieting, my blood work is much better, and grocery shopping is much easier -- beef, butter, bacon, eggs, and occasionally chicken. I never thought in a million years I could give up carbs and sugar. It was the toughest thing I ever did, but the best thing I ever did.
So true, but it’s only really hard for a few weeks. Once you cross a certain threshold, you don’t even want carbs anymore.
I`m an 81 year old Englishman residing in Czech Republic but wishing I was in the USA. However, I`m living vicariously as an American through your channel now and enjoying all aspects especially your carnivore tips😎
Glad you’re enjoying it!
I’m 41 - carnivore for 8 months - gaining muscle like I was 21 💪
I gaining muscle too, but more slowly
@@Jaylwoodworth I lift heavy weights and lots of kettlebell training…. I feel like I’m on TRT it’s crazy. I bet if I got my testosterone levels checked from a year ago they have gone way up. I have also been implementing sauna, intermittent and two 96 hour water fasts. I feel like a new man. I am convinced this is the healthiest diet for humans. Keep up the good work my man!
I am 71. I have been on this for about 6 months. Love it !!
Hi guys ! 61 and back in ! A couple of years ago I did the carnivore diet for 3 months and lost 60 lbs ! I just got bored with the diet and well gave up ! Back to my weight of 350 so here goes again ! Thanks for the great commentary!
Stick with it!
You've not only lost weight, but your body had gotten so much healthier. You have lessened your rick of all diseases including heart and cancer😊 There are so many people, my fiance, my family, and my coworkers and friends say they cant do it.
Each person has to find their own path…
I find it hard to watch in others when I finally know the cure to all they are obviously dealing with. I can read people's medical makeup to a degree now having done non emergency medical transport for awhile now. So much unnecessary suffering is a real bummer.
everything you said was right on the money, good job turning things around :)
Thanks!
Hello another 60 yr old here :) 4+ yrs carnivore and lost over 100 lbs also back to what I was :)
Life changing for sure congrats on making the change my fellow 60 yr old carnivore :)
Good for you losing 100+ pounds. I hope to be there by the end of the year.
@@Jaylwoodworth sure ya will or very close to it :) I know I ended up losing more than I thought I could or was told I could :)
Holy moly. I’m 70 and on carnivore
First of all, loved seeing Elizabeth Park! I lived in West Hartford for many years and was able to walk there from my house. How I loved that park! We now live in beautiful, WARM Myrtle Beach, but Hartford will always be home. Thank you for an honest, informative video. I, too, am in my early 60's. I have been on and off keto for a couple of years and keep losing and regaining the same 20 pounds. I never quite get to my goal weight because I end up letting the keto treats and "dirty" keto foods creep back in. Let me tell you, that's a slippery slope. So I have committed to at least 30 days of true carnivore, beginning April 1, which is tomorrow. Today (March 31) I will take the measurements and photos, and continue to eat my keto/ketovore Easter dinner. I am already in ketosis so the "flu" symptoms have passed. It is absolutely the emotional/psychological component that's the hardest to change. Looking forward to more content. Thanks again!
Carbs are an addiction for some of us, and it is a slippery slope. If you feel like you can, try going 3 months. It was during month 3 that I saw the biggest improvements. I know 3 months seems like a long time, so do the 1 month first, and then, if it feels right,make the commitment to do 3 months. That’s what I did and I’m glad I stuck with it. Good luck!
Female, 67 in July, I’m down 25# in 8 weeks, started due to a rare autoimmune disease, this way of eating is literally the only way I can eat to feel good and stay out of the hospital, best wishes 😊
Sorry to hear, but I’m glad it’s helping you.
Congratulations to you on the video you have just presented. Well worth watching. It left me wanting to share my journey with you, and anyone else who might be interested enough to read.
For so many years I followed the recommended "Standard Western Diet" based on the Food Pyramid that the Australian Health Department put out there. Which was largely based on research that was funded by the U.S. sugar, grain growers and farming organizations as well as various drug companies.
During that time my health slowly deteriorated to the point where I had gained so much weight, had difficulty moving around and ended up having a mini stroke, which has, still to this day, messed up my balance and vision.
16 months ago, I was 130kg (286lb), pre diabetic, had high blood pressure, underactive thyroid, psoriasis, sciatica, fatty liver and inflammation.
On December 1st, 2022, my 65th birthday, I cut out all sugar, grains, fruits, vegatables, seed oils and alcohol.
I switched to the carnivore diet. I only eat meat, fish, eggs and other unprocessed animal products such as liver, kidneys, hearts, and giblets etc.
Apart from a bit of onion, garlic and a few spices for flavouring, I do not eat any fruit or vegetables at all. I don't count calories and eat as much as I want until I am comfortably full. When my brain says I've had enough I stop eating and only eat again when I feel hungry. As it has turned out for me, I only eat once a day, during a one-hour window around midday and I no longer have any cravings for snacks in between.
As of this morning, I am now down to 90kg (198lb), which is a loss of 40kg (88lb) and all of the above conditions are gone. I feel more like I did when I was in my 30's and 40's, my bloodwork and blood pressure are pretty well spot on and I now enjoy getting out and about, going for long walks, a bit of fishing and other outdoor activities. My balance and vision issues are still there from the stroke but I am able to cope with that well enough.
It is not my intention to influence anyone into following what I have done to improve my health. I only wanted to share what is currently working for me. If there is any need for me to adapt to something else in the future, I will do so. But for now, I am good with what I am doing.
We are all different to a certain extent and each of us needs to find our own way. I wish everyone all the very best of luck in finding their own way to better health and a longer life.
Kindest regards to everyone.
I love your comment and the way that you look at the diet. Your experience is similar to mine. Isn’t it great to get a second youth.
I agree that we each have to find our own way. Shares like this are so helpful in that process. Best of luck!
68 here and agree with you about feeling more spry with Carnivore. It’s freeing to be healthy once more and know I’ll never be overweight and ailing again. Great story, Jay.👏
Great job Jay. I'm 65 and I'm loving this! I'm getting lots of grief from family and watching my sister and her fiance starting the " get your food , including protein packed cinnamon rolls in the mail diet. Hundreds of dollars and this will be try number 5 for her ....she can't say enough good things about it
Back to reality, I'm carnivore completely now and I'm going from size 10 to an 8 right now .17 years ago,size 24.... ❤️💖🙏
Great job!
Great job! I’m 60 and 6 months into carnivore….everything you said is Spot On!
Glad you’re sharing my experience. Thanks!
You touched on some important topics here. Great video! You have an easy going, non-“meat militant” style. Keep ‘em coming. People need to hear it.
I try not to be militant anything. It turns off all but the already committed. Best just to share my results and answer whatever questions come up. Thanks for the comment!
I just love the way you communicate your message. I look forward to watching each video. So keep em coming. Have an awesome day!
Thank you so much!
Hi im sixty two a not so healthy lady I've been sixteen/eight fasting since last year and made a few life style changes. Lazy keto has helped but im on the cusp of carnivore you've inspired me thanks .
Give it a try. The first couple weeks may be difficult but in a couple months you should see some good changes 🙂
You are right about the mindset as we grow older, making it more difficult to lose weight, but I have to add that I believe we spend decades messing up our hormones with the standard diet and they need to be sorted out before we can lose weight effectively. I was losing VERY slowly and stalling until one day I decided to up my intake of good fats, e.g. adding butter to coffee and meat dishes, and within one month, although I hadn't lost any weight, I lost an entire dress size and over 14 inches off my waist, bust, hips, arms and legs. It's SO counter-intuitive to what we are taught but it worked and now I am losing at a nice easy pace :)
I agree, we do mess up our metabolisms. I think this may be one of the reasons carnivore is so effective - cut the sugars and carbs completely.
Absolutely! @@Jaylwoodworth
When people bring up balanced and the food pyramid just tell them about Kellog , Ancel Keys, and the sugar memos. Cavemen to the Comanche, Mongols, and Innuit all carnivore. 53 years old and I lost 100 lbs with a laundry list of health conditions and a disability all resolved on carnivore. I started July 2nd, 2023, btw. Like everyone else that finally finds this, I so wish I knew how good I could feel years ago.
That’s great, and you started just a month before I did.
I was obese a year ago. I’m normal weight now. I did intermittent fasting for a few years, and dropped from my peak weight of 246 to 200, but I couldn’t keep the weight at 200, and it went back up to 226 and stayed there for over a year with just intermittent fasting, eating one or two meals a day, no snacking. In previous decades in my life, I lost and regained 75 pounds 3 different times in my life. The weight loss could only be maintained for several months, before I gained the weight back, plus additional weight.
Just 14 months ago, I added the carnivore diet to the intermittent fasting, at the age of 68. At that point in time, my weight was 226 for over one year, locked at that weight. I had many health problems.
The first 30 days on the carnivore diet, I lost 22 pounds. I lost the severe daily lower back pain that I had for many years. In the following months, I lost more weight. I lost the intermittent knee pain. I lost the daily fatigue and have lots of energy. I lost the eye floaters. I lost the frequent headaches. I lost the sluggish body feeling. I lost the body odor. Now, I have zero underarm and foot odor even when working in the garden all day in the summertime in Florida. Overall, my health is drastically improved in the past year.
My weight is about the same as it was at age 13. I’ve been overweight or obese almost my entire life. I added one cauliflower per day after the first month of the carnivore diet due to severe constipation problems. I also occasionally eat chopped up sweet onions. Those are the only non-meat things that I eat, besides eggs. I cut out the cheese because it was stalling the weight loss.
My total weight loss is about 92 pounds. In the past 14 months on the ketovore diet, nearly carnivore, I lost 68 of those pounds. I’m now 69-1/2 years old and I am the best health in many decades, including excellent bloodwork. My doctors were not thrilled with the carnivore diet, but when they saw the dramatic improvements in the past year, they stopped talking negatively about the carnivore diet, or ketovore diet in my case.
It’s tough to convince people that are obese or overweight to try the carnivore or ketovore diet. The old food pyramid diet is totally ingrained and they are unable to see the example in front of their nose what changing to the carnivore or ketovore diet can drastically improve the health and drop the excess weight.
The eating is very easy. No counting calories. Just eat until you’re full. No sugar. No vegetable or seed oils. No bread. No pasta. No grains. No fruits. No vegetables, other than cauliflower and sweet onions for me. My weight is now 155 to 158, and I’m 5’-10”. That’s normal weight for my age and height. My maximum waist size was 44, now it’s 32. My maximum T-shirt size was XXL, now it’s M. I had to replace all my baggy clothes.
It feels great, doesn’t it! Thanks for your comment.
inspiring! i've been trying to go carnivore for months but always end up with some low carb veg. my problem i can see now is eating too much...too many meals and eating at late night. it maybe burger meat and salt but it is too late to be eating. hoping this naturally resolves!!!
71 and in my third week eating meat and eggs. 4 weeks ago I I went to sleep fit healthy and playing pickleball every day and next day I woke up cripple with Polymyalgia Rheumatica. Most autoimmune painful condition! I researched and many are completely getting rid of autoimmune disorders, inflammation, with carnivora, by . I expect to beat this, with God's blessing and this 0 carb diet.
In America there is a real food addiction! Mainly addiction to carbs. I'd bet your friend has food addiction. If anyone can't think of changing their diet is because they're addicted to what they're eating.
Yes, I’ve heard that carnivore can be really helpful for conditions like this. Good on you for having the courage to try something new. The best results take 3 months or more.
Change is scary, but necessary for progress. That's what your friend needs to understand.
Yep, it seems so simple once you have gone thru the transition and realized there was nothing to be afraid of. But it took me until 60 to finally do this diet. Wish I’d started earlier!
Hi JAY. Thanks for sharing your great results. I’m 78 now so you are just a pup to me! The best thing to me now that I’m carnivore is the mental clarity and the calm happy feeling carnivore brings. This comes with ending of inflammation too. I heartily recommend carnivore to anyone who will listen.
Yes, that clarity and calmness is something I like too.
That’s fantastic ❤ congratulations 🎉
Thanks!
Keep up the good work..I'm following you here from Virginia..
Motivational 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
New subscriber here. I'm soon to be 57, overweight, and diabetic. I started the carnivore diet 6 days ago and have already lost 10lbs and I'm feeling great! When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a few years ago I mentioned a low carb diet to my Dr and she absolutely flipped out! She said NO! That will kill you! She suggested a low to zero fat diet with lots of vegetables. Fast forward 3 years and my blood sugar is as bad or worse than it's ever been. I haven't checked it yet, but I can tell just by how I'm feeling that my numbers have to be improving! Looking forward to losing around 50lbs and getting my glucose in check and then revisiting her to see what she has to say. 😁 Thanks for your channel!
My blood sugar went from borderline diabetic to normal after 3 months. I lost 50 lbs. My blood pressure went down and my cholesterol also went from sky-high to normal. My doctor still freaked out when I told him about my diet.
Obiesity, High Blood Pressure, and Diabetes are all considered leading causes of early death. I still can’t figure out why he thoughts I was in such a worse place after eating meat for 3 months when these three issues had all cleared up.
From that point I decided to stop listening to what my doctor said and start doing what was working for me. I do keep testing my blood every 3 months or so and things have been steady.
Remember, we are all different, so you might not see the same results. But it’s certainly worth a try. Also, I lost 10 lbs in the first week, and then hit a plateau l for the rest of the first month. It was the second month when I really started losing weight - like 25 lbs, and another 15 in the 3rd month.
Good luck!
Yes, I'm 60 also, nearly five year carnivore, lost 40 lbs. Works good, especially for us old people.
Yeah… whatever…. You’re NOT old!!! Remember…. You’re only as old as the woman you feel…. Or something like that…. I’m also 60… T1D for 41 years…. I point blank refuse to accept that I am old!!!
@@brucemckay6615 I'm the same way Bruce. Stay young.
Thanks Jay!
Ill be 70 in June. Im going to start carnívore again on monday. Im morbidly obese and found your vídeo very encouraging. My problem is not being able to stay on this WOE, but Im determined to keep trying and be successful.
That’s where I was. And the hardest part was working with my own mind. After a couple months I saw enough positive changes that it was easy to continue.
if you fall off get back on asap. that's the phase i'm in and it helps. i'm 65 and determined. have a lot of fat to lose. i hope you were able to keep on it!
I'm 66 and started this diet five weeks ago. People say eating meat only must take an enormous amount of will power. That's not my experience. This is the most effortless way to eat imaginable. People who have a passion for junk food have an addiction problem. This is not a love affair with this type of food. As soon as you get off dense carbs and eat just meat you no longer desire that crap. Not only do you not crave carbs, the feeling of being in control of your food intake is absolutely empowering!
I found it difficult for the first month, but didn’t miss carbs at all after that.
@@Jaylwoodworth I seemed to adapt to this right off the bat. One CZcamsr recommended weaning off of carbs gradually over a month or two. For me, eating any carbs is like playing with dynamite, It doesn't take much to slide down a slippery slope.
Thanks Jay for another interesting video.
You’re very welcome!
Turn 60 in a few days... started Carnivore 11/2/23 and will never go back to the SAD. Never felt better! I needed to drop a few lbs but weight loss was not my focus. I had lost the weight previously with keto. What's really cool is that at 60, my abs are showing! I was a gym rat as a young man and could never get ripped enough for a 6 pack. When I walk or work I can feel my abs engaging! Super cool!! Keep it up!
I think I’ve got another 20 lbs to go before my abs start showing, but I’ll get there!
@@Jaylwoodworth You will!
OMG I knew in my early 40’s that I ate way too much and it was the worst foods. Started getting constant pain, weight was always persistently up then saw my PSA rising. Went to 2 urologists who both screamed at me there was no way to lower my PSA and that I needed a biopsy! Fast forward 2 years I cut my PSA in half to within normal range with KETO OMAD and longer fasts, now I’m carnivore since January 1st and am getting lean and feeling good at 58 years young! Save yourself! Eat meat!
Glad things are going better and that the diet is helping
Don't worry about your HDL/LDL. Triglycerides are the real issue.
I'm also 60 carnivore 3 years now.
Most people,s payoff is the instant gratification obtained by what they have just eating, whether it be the taste and feeling full, or the emotional high one can temporarily feel when eating.
The funny thing is, we might enjoy the sugary dessert while we eat it, but a few minutes later we crash.
yes this is me! although as soon as it's gone there is no gratification only remorse. i think i read a stuffed belly releases endorphins?
I’m starting my Carnivore journey today age 57, 5’11, 93kgs.
Good luck!
lets not confuse the carnivore diet with a diet void of processed foods. both will make you feel tremendous
Congratulations on your weight loss!
35 here but I see my 59 year old mom and need to lose some weight and prevent all the things I could potentially have later on. Trying to convince her and myself, since she's got fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, pernicious anemia, knee replaced, needs hip surgery. Great scenery and content. Thanks!
That’s a great way of looking at it. My mom had a lot of problems related to obesity and mobility, and seeing what she went thru was one of my main motivations to lose weight as well.
I’m 60 in a couple of months …
My N of 1
During the extreme lockdown here in the Philippines, January 2021 I was obese type 2, 94Kg/207lbs, (I’m only 5’6”) with pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. I was suffering from metabolic syndrome. I understood the comorbidity I had as a 57 year old would greatly affect me if I contracted the Rona. I had to lose fat, reverse hypertension, reverse my NAFLD and reduce my HbA1c.
Sitting in my armchair at the beginning of lockdown I saw that the keto/ketovore/carnivore diet claimed it could ‘cure’ my ailments. I watched a bunch of videos and tried to understand the linked papers supporting the claims. End result was that it simply made a lot of sense to me.
After procrastinating for a couple of weeks I saw a video by Ken D Berry, MD where he said ‘Just do it’! … so I did 🤓
8 months later, whilst still sitting in my armchair (most of the time). I had lost the 30kg/66lbs of fat that was required to get me down to a ‘normal’ BMI, I GREATLY improved my blood pressure to the point it raised my wife’s eyebrows, she’s a First Responder. My blood sugar was well back in to the ‘normal’ range and I vastly reduced inflammation. My energy levels went up dramatically.
I also reversed IBS that had controlled my life for 40 years (I lost jobs because of it), got rid of decades long debilitating heartburn, my Testosterone went up drastically and I stopped snoring … my wife is happy 🤓 I was ‘foggy’ & forgetful, I sometimes also slurred my words and forgot what I was talking about mid sentence, possible early stage MCI ? This has completely reversed! Undiagnosed but recognised by my family I got out of a bad case of lockdown depression.
A year ago I further decided to cut out most vegetables from my meat heavy Keto WOE, only adding on occasion a little onion, garlic, green peppers, tomato and a pickle here and there for some flavour… always salting to taste. Improvements are continuing with a pace with better mental health, blood markers, skin conditions (skin tags have also disappeared) etc.
Most recently I have noticed pain improving in my back associated with osteoporosis in my lower spine. I don’t sweat like I did earlier in life, slimmer or overweight. Also I am using old prescription glasses as I can see through them better, eye floaters are disappearing… possible eyesight improvements? I don’t go lobster red peel and go back to pale white after being in the Sun anymore … I hold a slight tan. Spider veins are clearing up on my outer thighs.
Simply eating nutrient dense meat, HEAVY in animal fat, eggs, seafood, salmon … single ingredient real food is all it took …
Whilst cutting out processed food, sugar/carbohydrates and seed/‘vegetable’ oils and most dairy.
We THRIVE when eating our evolved, species specific Proper Human Diet along with some intermittent fasting to mimic the way our ancestors survived.
I’m sure there are thousands upon thousands of people that have similar anecdotal stories to tell … Please tell them … get the message out there!
Wonderful story with some great non-scale victories!!
Great job sticking to the diet and making the changes to improve your health! It really is incredible, isn’t it!
Good man, and welcome to 60 in a couple of months...I find being 60 kind of traumatic!
@@ClassicJukeboxBandI'm 69.5 and find 70 traumatic! All the best from Germany
Great job dude!!
Hey, Jay! I really enjoyed this video and have looked at several others since. I did carnivore for 79 days and then gave into eating my homemade spaghetti that I prepared for guests (my son and his girlfriend). Went off for 12-14 days, a big disappointment in myself! Unfortunately, my guests are still staying in my home so I have been buying and preparing foods for them (on My dime, by the way!). I'm trying to get back to my carnivore, but it's very hard with them here. Why am I putting myself through this? I can't feed them my way of eating and it's too expensive to buy for their foods in addition to mine. My son and his girlfriend are supposed to be getting their own place, but it's taking longer than expected. They've been at my place since March 6th and I just want them to leave because my health is my priority. I love solitude and doing whatever I want and I am very unhappy, not only with the food, but also with the lack of exercise, which I used to do every day but now am unable to do while they're here. Any advice? I'm a good person but am being taken advantage of.
You’re being very generous. If it were me I would tell them that they’re responsible for their own food, and then just buy and cook for yourself. You’re doing more than enough just by letting them stay in your house. Carnivore involves good boundaries, and this would be a good boundary.
Congratulations on your journey so far🎉 I have been watching a vast selection of CZcams clips on this subject to learn over a broad range of opinions of what's good bad etc. I am very new to all this and enjoying this new way of eating. Even after 10 days the measure tape says things have moved slightly ☺️ next month is my 65th birthday. Best present I could give myself ❤ I have subscribed as I am looking forward to viewing more of your content ☺️
Great! The first month was hard for me, but by month 3 I felt so much better!
Nice work fella!
Congratulations 🎉
Thanks!
This was a very.
Great video. I'm hoping in the future you discuss. Also, health benefits of the carnivore diet along with weight loss. As just a consequence of eating a proper human diet, more people need to know that they can cure or put things in remission. And it's just not a weight loss diet.
I’ve been trying to stick to my own personal experiences up to this point, but I agree that it’s time for me to start talking about the benefits more. There are many.
59 here and have been Carnivore for 4 years now, a year of keto before that, all is good now, blood sugars are good, choleserol is still abouve normal and im still alive, love your channel Jay, greetings from Tasmania Australia.
My cholesterol went back to normal levels, but I wouldn’t be too worried if it was a bit high. I do still get my bloodwork done every three months. If my cholesterol suddenly shoots up I may have reason to be concerned, but so far so good.
Good onya Jay..! Everyone’s an expert when it comes to their own health. It’s well nigh impossible to get someone to question their accepted narratives - especially if they have invested many $$$’s in treatments and drugs etc.
Yep, I’m healthier and no one made any money. I even spend less money on groceries than I used to. Win win from my perspective.
After decades of metabolic abuse,
Carnivore is the very therapeutic and rejuvenating....
I'm now going 3o ....for the second time.
Happy seconds to everyone.
Glad it’s helping!
@@Jaylwoodworth
It's healing.
One year in, consuming one meal a day. Mostly saturated fat ,first thing in the morning / break of day....fasting when I feel like it.
Seriously, I feel better now that I did at 3o...I'm 61 .
Jay is speaking truth. I've had a similar experience. You have to change the way you see yourself and how you see food and movement in order to make profound and lasting changes. It's not just "going on a diet". It's a whole mindset and way of life where you have different values than eating crap and sitting on your ass.
Very true. I actually subletted an apartment in a different city during my first three months on the diet to get away from my old life and mindset. Was very effective.

The big problem is that doctors are usually way behind the latest research and info on nutrition and health. There's the ever present danger that if they stray from accepted dogma they may get sued by patients that develop problems. Better to keep safe and avoid complications. If something happens they can always claim that they followed the accepted protocols......
Yes, exactly. Great comment!
I live in Vermont, there few and far carni's here in the NE. I'm 66 and have been carnivore for about 4 year's. I have many health improvements and, at my age, can do anything I want to do physically! Love this way of life!
Bet you have some great farm raised grass fed meat around you!
Yes we do!
Thanks Jay! Nice pep talk. I'm not carnivore, but I'm waiting for someone to convince me it's the right direction. I don't need to lose weight, more for diabetes and heart disease prevention. It's talks like yours that make the most sense to me. It's from the heart.
Give it a try and keep an eye on your bloodwork while you are doing it. We are all different and respond to diets differently. But I can say that carnivore has worked wonders for me!
Convince yourself. Don't wait till you get sick or sicker. Like me😢.
@@paratrooper73 I'm trying, but I need to come to a conclusion with other peoples real experiences and data. I can't make any health decisions on the fly. I have medical issues that can be negatively impacted by the wrong decision.
@@PardieDiem I get ya. There are multiple facebook groups with thousands of members. Starters and people who are in it for years, they can tell you all about it. Yup, also with your condition. The carnivore way , carnivore diet newbies, carnivore diet representatives, carnivore diet way of eating woe beginners, carnivore recipes. It's all there mate, just put on those shoes and discover that journey👍
@@paratrooper73 Thanks Trooper!
Have a great day!
Thanks for the visit
Hey Jay, I'm 63 and April 1st will make 1 year on carnivore. I feel great, last month I went hiking in the snow in Norway. Not sure I could have done that a year ago.
It’s an awesome feeling, isn’t it?
@@Jaylwoodworth I actually feel like I'm getting younger, it's pretty amazing
Excellent advice. I saw an acquaintance yesterday a few years older than me in his early 70s. He’s so sickly and falling apart hobbling along. I told him I’ve gone carnivore and he was horrified. I think most people believe their doctor and do everything they’re told, accept that they’re ageing and come to terms with it. I’m too cynical stubborn and curious. My dr is not my master. Best way to teach people is through example. You know the saying..you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. It’s entirely up to the individual. Have a great day 😊
I agree, most people don’t want to have to think for themselves, they want someone to tell them what to do.
The real problem I have is that the quacks recommendations are killing people it's like smoking in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. The doctors aren't telling patients the truth, so they can not make informed decisions. That's the real crime.
Meat heals, carbohydrates kill.
IDK about carbs kill. Junk carbs kill but carbs exist for starvation situations and lack of ability to get any meat. i messed up my metabolism with junk carbs so now i need to avoid most all carbs. but if i was in starvation situation, no meat and my body fat gone i'd be very glad to find some carbs.
Another great video, Jay.
Perhaps keto for your friend as a gateway drug 😅.
Jokes aside carnivore as a concept are shocking for new people. Let the idea marinade for some weeks and recommend that x rugby playing doctor. Anthony Chaffee, my guess is a lot of girls would enjoy hearing about our lifestyle from a handsome brain surgeon!
Yes, we shall see what she says as time goes by. I think for some people
It’s very hard to imagine such a different diet from what they’re used to.
57 years old, lost some weight on carnivore 4+ years same weight as college. Biggest thing I noticed is waking up like a 13 year old. Great feeling for a man. Have not had t-levels checked but can tell they have significantly increased on carnivore 😊
Great work!
40 years of brain washing is hard to reverse. Ask me how I know 😊
Yes, for me too. But now I’ve experienced the results, so easy to let the brainwashing go.
I've been a carnivore for 13 months now, and what woke me up was when I cleaned out my parents' home when they died and saw all the tablets they took for heart and diabetes and many other things. I'll be 60 years old this year and live in Sweden and as you say I feel well, exercise and my health values are at a good level.😊
My parents were the same. it’s scary to think about needing to take all those pills.
@@Jaylwoodworth yes it's crazy! but what did they know then that we know now
58 and going strong. My mobility Is back. I lost 60 pounds and my gout attacks are gone.
Awesome!
62 just started last Sunday
Good luck with it!
@@Jaylwoodworth ty
Hey jay,,,,,58 years old, on carnivore down 30 pounds (191-161 ) feeling great medication free
That’s great!
By following the food pyramid you become a walking pyramid 😂
😊😊😊😊
NICE : )
Thanks for the great video! I'm 61 and feel that most of the vids posted by folks under 50 don't really apply to me as I think
you can get away with almost any diet up until 50. Have you found that carnivore helps with arthritis? I've been fasting
done some carnivore, but have not done it exclusively so I wonder if I did would it help arthritis? thanks !
I don’t think I have had arthritis, but I have had different joint aches (knees and one of my fingers) as well as lower back pain. All of this pain has cleared up.
What type of meat I can buy in bulb to get ribeye steaks?
I am 68 today. Just started Carnivore!!
I’m not sure. At my Costco it’s the same price in bulk as it is in rib steaks, so I never bothered to remember, but maybe someone else will know?
Carnivore is great, but the hip replacement can be dealt with better with structural manipulation and proper structural exercise.
Good job dude ! But how about muscle loss on carnivore diet. Im 69 and tempted to try it but I absolutely don't want to lose muscle. Anybody know one way or the other I would like to hear opinions.... thoughts.... experience's on the subject.
I’ve been putting on muscle, slowly but surely. My weight loss has slowed down over the past 3 months but I still lost a couple inches around my waist. It would be good to hear other people’s experience with this.
I rebuilt an entire lower right quadrant of my body after a week and a half in my sciatic nerve in my right hip popped back into place. I'm now running uphill sprints. I couldn't stand or even really walk on my right leg for 15 years so hip to ankle was completely atrophied. Nothing on the planet can built muscle better and faster than fatty red meat. Also the large quantities of taurine will make your bones denser. My sensitive teeth are now steel able to eat very hard pork cracklins like they are potato chips. You legitimately cannot lose muscle on carnivore unless you under eat and that is a problem for older folks. Your average man should be eating about 1.5 to 2 lbs of fatty meat per day.
I'm 50 😉. Carnivore Day 34
Keep it up!
Your friend isn't in enough pain, it seems, to be serious about trying something that is counter to the medical narrative. But bless you for trying. Maybe she will hit bottom and take carnivore seriously later. Hope that happens before she goes through surgery.
I hope so too. Some people never get there.
Drink raw milk from grass fed cows and goats daily.
I love raw milk. Gotta watch the carbs from the lactose though.
People r stupid, cant fix stupid, the cognitive dissonance of some people!
Your friend is addicted to junk that’s all.
