Been on carnivore for 8 months now. For some reason my eyesight improved and my current glasses are too strong. I have lost weight but still have left side pulse noise in my ear. Mental clarity improved. I was paralyzed through a spinal injury and the carnivore along with weight lifting is helping to restore some of my muscles and nerves.
A prolonged water fasting could help further. Or a fasting mimicking diet for couple for weeks. Tinnitus is related to damage cells/mitochondria/capillaries/nerve endings. A fasting induced autofagy not only clears damaged mitochondria from cells or outright destroys damaged cells, but the following period you experience an massive increase in growth hormones and stem cells that further repair the damages to cells, capillaries and nerve endings. Wont cure outright the problem(at least not immediately) but i believe you going to see great improvement. Either way, what do you have to lose?
@@MetarigI drink occasionally as well but can’t lie it messes up my rhythm. Makes me want to eat bad and not exercise the following day or days depending on how much I drank.
@@Metarigout of curiosity, why do you need to lift your spirits? Booze is so bad for you, so abusive to the liver. It gives nothing, only takes. Is there nothing in your life you can turn to for joy that's not good or drugs?
The two people in diet health i respect and take seriously is Dr Paul Sal and Dr Anthony Chaffee. Its a bit frustrating since some of their knowledge can at times be contradictory. But the best part I think is that they both just want the facts and truth. Hopefully these two can continue to come together and challenge each other more for everyones benefit including their own.
I see carnivore as survivalist or warrior diet. Eventually you have to make a homestead to raise a family. Weston a. Price is carnivore plus fermented vegetables, sourdough bread, soaked or sprouted grains before cooking. Its about the long game. And peace. My engine is always running on carnivore.. adding back calms me down.....I have 2 more weeks of carnivore
Maybe I a m an exception to the rule but going low or no carb, drastically helps me to fall asleep and stay asleep. Also gives me healthy energy, mental clarity, and a sense of calm etc.
Youre not the exception, you are the rule. This channel is basically a gathering for carb addicts who do everything to justify their addiction, talking about how bad no carb is. Its all bullsh*t.
Same here. If I eat carbs, I get sleepy and it has a negative effect on my mental clarity. I can get away with a couple of teaspoons of honey, or a glass of milk a day, but more than that I want to take a nap. Also, I'm also VERY physically active.
I was on strict keto for a few years and i saw results in terms of lean body mass. I started hitting a ceiling and there is a strong possibility it was the absence of whole food carbs missing in my diet. I slowly introduced it with honey and fruits fearing that I would store fat in areas such as belly and chest If I went full on. Fruits, honey and dates has become my staple now. End result is muscle hypertrophy, and good sleep
I have GERD since 20 years, on pure carnivore diet my stomach stays completely closed, no heartburn at all, when I eat any carbs my stomach opens and I get heartburn in like 5 minutes after eating or so
I think carb cycling in rhythm with the seasons and your geographical environment is optimal for most. You can argue so many ways about carbs being essential or non-essential but the truth is it really just depends. If you’re from Canada and it’s January, does it really make sense to eat tropical fruits and honey? Maybe if you live in Costa Rica. Everyone’s situation is different and a one size fits all approach of eating fruit year round doesn’t make sense. Local and seasonal eating is the way to go.
Exactly. Temperature affects metabolism. Exercising in hot weather burns more calories than working out in cold temperatures because it takes more energy to cool your body in the heat.
actually find that carbs are better for winter and no carb is better in summer personally. why doesnt he mention lactose as a carb source what do animal sugars not promote insulin response?
Jack Kruse has been saying that for years. It’s all about understanding Deuterium and Seasonal eating. Humans should eat animals all year long and eat plants that grows locally. Anyone saying otherwise does not understand the laws of physics controlling our health.
@@cradohaps-bb5nd THINK ABOUT IT,, DURING SUMMER YOU'LL NATURALLY GET DE-HYDRATED,,,SO PLANTS/FRUITS PRODUCE GLUCOSE ( CARBO - HYDRATES ),,SO YOU WILL EAT THEM ,,GET ENERGY AND PLANT IT FAR AWAY..SO THAT THE PLANT SUCCEEDS IN SPREADING ITS SEED,, THE FOREST GROWS,, THIS IS A NATURAL HARMONY... > EVEN OUR ANCESTORS ARE NOT PURE CARNIVORES,, WOMEN TEND TO STAY IN THE CAVES,, COZ THEY WERE CONSTANTLY PREGNANTS...THERE IS NO EDUCATION DURING PALEO TIMES (LOL),, SO SHE WOULD COLLECT PLANTS ROOTS TUBERS FRUITS ETC.. > STILL IF YOU ARE NOT CONVINCED,,, LETS SAY THERE ARE 20 HUNTER GATHERER FAMILIES IN A GIVEN AREA,,IF ALL OF THEM EAT MEAT EVERYDAY,,( LIKE PEOPLE WHO ARE EATING ON A TODAY CARNIVORE DIET) THE ANIMAL COUNT WILL BECOME ZERO WITHIN 1 YEAR..SO, YOUR ANCESTORS ARE NOT THAT DUMB TO MAKE SUCH STUPID DECISION TO EAT MEAT EVERYDAY,,, THEY WOULD SPARE THE LITTLE ANIMALS AND ALLOW THEM TO GROW ..

I have lost 10 lbs on my BBBE diet in 5 weeks. But, the nighttime leg cramps were awful even though I was drinking electrolyte water. Yesterday, I took your advice and stopped by the grocery store and bought some organic bananas, blueberries, mangoes, and honey. This morning I stepped on the scale and-boom-down another 1.5 pounds and slept all night without any leg cramps. You’re amazing Dr. S!
I went carnivore keto after being diagnosed with NAFLD for about a year and once I lost 50lbs and started feeling better I reintroduced couple of fruits a day and weekly spoon of honey...I now feel my body is in complete balance... I continue eating BBBE with 2 fruits per day and feel like I'm in my 20's again, pitching tents and all 😂
Yo Paul, your book carnivore code is coming in the mail today. Im on day 4 of meat, organs, dairy, fruit and honey, truly feel a difference already, i feel way way less stressed, less anxiety, more satiated, calmer. Everyday at noon i cant wait to eat that big bite of liver. And at my second meal i have a little goat heart and kidney, the goat heart is eons better than a steak. Its been fun and exciting getting on a good eating path. What ive cut out is a lot of gluten, pizza, pasta, bread, cut out veggies, ate lots of veggies every day with meat, entire body was badly inflamed and stressed. And cut out junky snacks chips, ice cream and chocolate. These last four days my first meal has been ground beef with heritage eggs and melted cheese, some greek yogurt on the side, and 1oz of beef liver, banana, raw honey. Second meal is ground beef creamed with sour cream and a little cream cheese, yellow squash, avocado, and little side of cottage cheese, little goat heart and kidney. Any snacks just apples, bananas, or a lil squirt of honey, or warm glass of bone broth. Already created my second weeks meal plan and shopped this morning. Average $75-80 dollars for each week now. Feels awesome man, thank you. Cant wait to start reading the book later. Me and my fiance just went down such a rocky path with eating. She was a vegan for 7 years, i met her and she got me to go vegan i lasted a year, i went from 175 looking normal and healthy to 130, all my bones showing, weak as hell and my cheeks sunk in, and just slept all day. She moved in and in a month i had us back on steak and eggs haha. And helped her heal layers and layers of health issues. Once we were healthy again we just started eating junk and having fun with food which equally led down a bad path. Went from 130lb vegan back to 170lb normal, now 195, big pot belly, lazy, bad posture, inflamation, stress. 4 days in. And not stopping. No more gluten. No more trash. Lifes worth more than that bullshit.
I’m totally mixed on this topic. On zero carb carnivore I have insane energy and mental clarity, and exponentially better workouts, but I do get the sleep disturbances occasionally. Although I feel so great that even with the sleep disturbances I still operate at 80-90%. This came in handy when I had my first child haha. If I add in carbs my sleep improves greatly but then I get major brain fog and far less energy for workouts. I’ve tried to find a middle ground by adding in a few carbs around intense workouts but it’s very hard to find the sweet spot. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Could it be the timing of your carbs or even the source? Do you workout fasted? Also you can email heart & soil and they are incredible about answering questions. Very knowledgeable. I feel like I’ve asked them a hundred questions my self. When you add in carbs do you keep your fat the same or do you lower your fats? I think one of the problems people have when adding carbs back and their energy tanks is because you have switched from using ketones to using glucose. If you train heavy and don’t get enough glucose then you will train poorly. Are you upping your carbs enough before workouts? There’s probably a sweet spot for everyone with carbs and being flexible is the ultimate goal I think. From a biological point of view we are built to bounce back and forth when needed. This also keeps us insulin sensitive. You can become insulin resistant when you never have carbs. Being flexible is ideal. Maybe experiment with your macros. Add a good amount of carbs on training days and less on non training days. Good luck man!
The crazy thing is that Paul was on carnivore and either lying to everyone or not experiencing many bad things because he kept on saying he felt the best he ever had when he was zero carb. All of the "problems" seemed to be revealed to us later.
I have a little bit of carbs (yogourt & berries) one hour after my last carnivore fat meal (1-2 hours before sleep). This help me having a deeper sleep while not affecting my ketone levels (blood measurements) in the morning.
@@-whackd Jesus what is wrong with you simple minded people!? Have you never changed your mind? And initially he probably did feel better because he got rid of crappy food. Let’s use some common sense here. Even vegans feel great at first for the same reason but as time goes on they don’t. It’s getting really annoying that people are so boxed in and judgmental! And personally I think people who leave stupid comments like these are just jealous.
I have got Crohn's disease and since I stopped eating carbs and went on a full ketovore diet with limited protein and high fat I have got no more pain in my gut and I feel a lot better. You miss the mark on a lot of things Paul.
I have adrenal PCOS and have high cortisol most of the time. Strict carnivore, fasts and prolonged ketosis elevate my cortisol. Waking up at 3 pm, trouble sleeping, cramps,.constipation,... Adding some fruit back did help. Having elevated cortisol one aims to not stress the body more. That's why fasts and keto is not the best option fir everybody.
I was 5 days into carnivore when my pulse climbed, had 0 energy and felt like I was on the verge of panic till around 10am....then it improved. It seemed to kick my body into a state of anxiety. Ended up on medication. I added in carbs and cortisol came down. Still feel internally anxious after 3 months. I eat raspberries and pumpkin and a sourdough gf muffin , no sugar, each day and the rest meat. So ketovore. Wish my body would calm down as my bloods look great, but feel not great anxiety wise.
John Yudkin was born in 1910, in the East End of London. His parents were Russian Jews who settled in England after fleeing the pogroms of 1905. Yudkin’s father died when he was six, and his mother brought up her five sons in poverty. By way of a scholarship to a local grammar school in Hackney, Yudkin made it to Cambridge. He studied biochemistry and physiology, before taking up medicine. After serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps during the second world war, Yudkin was made a professor at Queen Elizabeth College in London, where he built a department of nutrition science with an international reputation. John Yudkin had sounded the alarm on sugar back in 1972, in a book called Pure, White, and Deadly. When Yudkin looked at the data on heart disease, he was struck by its correlation with the consumption of sugar, not fat. He carried out a series of laboratory experiments on animals and humans, and observed, as others had before him, that sugar is processed in the liver, where it turns to fat, before entering the bloodstream. He noted, too, that while humans have always been carnivorous, carbohydrates only became a major component of their diet 10,000 years ago, with the advent of mass agriculture. Sugar - a pure carbohydrate, with all fibre and nutrition stripped out - has been part of western diets for just 300 years; in evolutionary terms, it is as if we have, just this second, taken our first dose of it. Saturated fats, by contrast, are so intimately bound up with our evolution that they are abundantly present in breast milk. To Yudkin’s thinking, it seemed more likely to be the recent innovation, rather than the prehistoric staple, making us sick. “If only a small fraction of what we know about the effects of sugar were to be revealed in relation to any other material used as a food additive,” Yudkin wrote in his book, “that material would promptly be banned.” His book did well, but Yudkin paid a high price for it. Prominent nutritionists like Ancel Keys combined with the food industry to destroy his reputation, and his career never recovered. He died, in 1995, a disappointed, largely forgotten man.
In recent years, the misrepresentation of LCHF as keto diet is to confuse the population. In addition to this our body prefers and categorizes fat into long chain and medium chain, not PUFA, MUFA or SFA. Most people are doing dirty keto, long chain and refined which is bad.
@@wilsont1010 Just use the FMSW-protocoll: - fatty meat (when hungry/until satiated) - 100% unrefined salt (to taste) - high quality mineral water (when thirsty) The proteïnes inside the meat are the building blocks of the human body. The colagen inside the meat is the glue that holds your body together. The fat inside the meat is the intermediate between the fat souluble vitamins and your body. Tip: you don't need those electrolyte powders & sport drinks wich are chemical and unnatural. Lemon juce also contains a lot of electrolytes and is a natural product. Filling your water bottle with a mixture of 5% freshly squeezed lemon juice & 95% high quality mineral water gives you a very tasty natural sport drink.
I really feel like you need to make a longer video on this because I’m left confused. I don’t think you’ve made your case yet. My doctor wants me on one meal a day with around 30 grams of carbs a day. I’m 50 yr old female not active enough with memory issues and just crossed over into prediabetic range. I think making a video like this can have people who are older and not as active reaching for too much fruit and honey. You have to understand most people don’t have time to spend hours being as active as you. The average person does not have the time or money to live such a fun life we are wondering how to afford our steaks each month. Please make a video for people specifically who are not metabolically perfect as you. Most of us are sick and trying to heal from one thing or another. This video is fine for a teenager but they eat whatever they want because they can still. We are here because we want to get metabolically healthier so this video left much to be desired for me at least.
@@justme4171 As she mentioned she is slightly confused with all the variations of diet, so I put to her in a simple way of what really works. A low carb diet coupled with good clean fat. It has been proven time and again and is quite straight forward.
@@DHendo214you surf 2-3 hours a day and skate around all day? You live in the tropics and walk around bare footed and soaking up Vitamin D? Not all of us are rich and in perfect health living the high life. She asked a legit question.
It is insane to me how tribal people get when it comes to diet!! Paul prefers some fruit in his diet and suddenly lots of carnivores and keto dieters get upset. It is okay to have differing opinions. We are all here to optimise our health!!! Do what works for you 🙂
Que él prefiera comer frutas y tomar .iel y demás,está bién,pero que no exponga razones de salud o de energía para ello...sencillamente está drogándose con azúcar,cada uno que se drogue con lo que quiera,pero sin justificarlo con el cuento de la salud y la energía
Been following this way of eating for about 3 months now and my chest hair is suddenly growing like mad 😂 I’m a 26 year old male so I’m sure this is a good sign! I also had pure OCD (intrusive thoughts) and I’ve had 0. My head feels completely clear and it’s just amazing to feel so normal for a change.
@@krystalgable I’ve had similar things where my best times (no intrusive thoughts) are when I’m eating fats and animal products. Last year I went of track and did more plant foods and less animal and I was suicidal and intrusive thoughts for about 1 year straight! It went away in about 2 weeks into animal based it’s insane! A side not- I’ve had pure ocd since about 17 years old so it’s a long tough road but with how I’ve been feeling I really think diet makes a huge impact along with 0 alcohol, no drugs and exercising regularly as we all know! All the best!
I am SO disappointed with this video. Your book "The Carnivore Code" has been incredibly helpful for my personal healing. Removing all plants and carbs from my diet was the key to resolving ALL my digestive issues, sleep issues, menopausal symptoms, and mood swings. My health is steadily improving, leg cramps are resolved with less and less exogenous magnesium, any carbs or fruit I've tried results in night sweats, bloating and severe disgestive disturbances. I'm glad it's working for you, but I'm terribly disappointed I can no longer count on you as an amazing Carnivore resource. :(
Yep, people hwre forgrt that most carnivores are absolutely thriving and theres only a very small group that finds benefit in adding carbs back in. He just looks very manipulative to me
I’ve been carnivore for 4 years and I had a lot of the same issues as Paul when I included organs on the regular. Have not had organs for a couple of years and I have 0 issues and feel the best I’ve ever felt.
@@blaz988: He said he started having problems when he strictly carnivore which caused him to add fruit and honey. Electrolyte imbalance caused by too much organ meat.
@@JonWRoweThanks, I understand now. It doesn't sound good to be a pure carnivore with no organs. Especially if you only eat steak haha. Missing vitamins and other compounds found in organs...
Fun fact you don’t need any carbs to get proper insulin signaling. But you do need it to sell a bunch of organ supplements. A large portion of meat will cause the right insulin response via the protein
It’s called gluconeogenesis. The body can convert proteins, and fats into needed glucose. This process does not always occur in everyone. There are many people who haven’t been able to trigger this process. Some simply cannot eat enough to do so. It seems nothing is one size fits all, and Paul sells these supplements for individuals who cannot consume important organs meats because of their squeamishness. Many have had incredible benefits from these high nutrient organ supplements. He has stated numerous times that if you can eat organs, then you don’t need his supplements. They also help for traveling. They are a shelf stable, and easy convenience for travelers. Stop being so judgement, and actually try to understand someone’s position.
@odious5317 Anyone can spike their way out of ketosis by eating enough meat in one sitting. Paul clearly did not. However, this still does not mean that carbs are essential for humans. Consuming carbs every day is by no means ancestrally appropriate. We evolved on protein and fats, and ever since adding grains into our diets, we've practically devolved.
@@malikinvictus2647 you’re absolutely correct and I believe Paul knows this too, but he has a business to run and getting people addicted to carbs is a much easier way to broaden his scope to his audience. It’s a shame because I truly believe he will harm himself and others
@@malikinvictus2647 Firstly, there are some people who cannot. That is a fact. Secondly, there is anthropological evidence that shows we ate fruit, and honey consistently as we evolved until migration into areas with winter temperatures, then we ate berries, and what not in the spring, and summer, but went into ketosis in the winter. It became cyclical. Paul went, and stayed with a hunter-gatherer tribe called Hadza who ate only honey, and meat. They are the closest representation of how we ate evolutionarily. Thirdly, I agree, and so does Paul, that consuming carbohydrates from grains, and even potatoes leads to metabolic dysfunction, so I’m unsure if you’re just ignorant of Paul’s position, or you’re intentionally misrepresenting Paul.
There is a tiring portion of the audience that simply complains in their spare time, behind the anonymity of their cell phones and computers. They take their jab and run away. None of those people have channels that feature them explaining their views. I respect a guy who changes his views because he grew, and he grew because he kept searching for answers.
I recently added back in 2 apples, 1 mango, and tbs of raw honey a day and I feel like a turbo has kicked in. I'm 51, workout everyday, and losing weight. My 48 yo wife, also on the diet, looks amazing and was mistaken for being 35 last week.
Does it make sense to eat mangoes for people living in Canada or Northern Europe, or most of North America, with cold or mild climate where no mango will ever grow ?
When I was strict Keto, I had the best bloodwork panel in my life. When I added some carbs back into my diet, my numbers declined significantly. A1C shot up, HDL dropped, LDL increased, triglycerides increased. Unless you work out 2 hours a day like Paul, carbs will not do you any good.
lol outrageously ignorant statement but you know that anyway. Assuming you're a woman your experience is hardly relevant to everyone. Nice projection though.@@madeleinegrayson8372
A lot of "natural" fruits and vegetables are the result of thousands of years of selective breeding. Just because it came out of the ground doesn't mean it's great to eat.
just a thought... people eating a carnivore diet are feeling better, not because they are eating meat, but because they stopped eating sugar and processed food. Maybe its about what your not doing vs what you are doing.
Just started eating carbs again. Feel much better. The 10 weeks carnivore was hard and depressing. Now I sleep better, have motivation again, and overall feel good. The sugar did make my pollen allergy way worse though and today I took my first pill of anti histamine. I am hopeful to get rid of this allergy eventually. If I eat a few more years 100% natural.
When I cut out carbs and ate a mostly animal protein diet, I developed a hypnic jerk and sleep disturbances. When I added certain fruits, millet grain and rice, those sleep disturbances disappeared.
when you stick to a pure carnivore diet, the generous protein intake triggers sufficient insulin release, making it quite uncommon to easily slip into a ketogenic state. Surprisingly, you don't necessarily require carbohydrates to prompt insulin production. Notably, individuals like Dr. Shawn Baker have adhered to this diet for many years, and if any detrimental effects were to arise, we would likely have observed some decline in their health over time. It's worth noting that they don't even resort to electrolyte supplementation.
Me neither. I’m 100% carnivore for over 2 years now. No supplements. I’ve never felt better. There is no essential carbohydrate. SALADino is just addicted to carbs so he has to justify them in some way. But sugar is sugar.
Shawn Baker is deficient in numerous vitamins and minerals, such as A, E, folate, K, C, and minerals calcium, magnesium. These could easily be corrected with vitamin supplements. So maybe he supplements. Carnivore dieter Lex Rooker developed prostate cancer. Baker needs to run his diet through one of the online calculators, and show us exactly what his micronutrients are. He hasn't been on his diet long enough to ascertain whether he will have long term problems. What does his blood work show?
@@chrisbr1969 Sugar is definitely not sugar. Enormous difference between sugar from fruit and honey and things like table sugar or high fructose corn syrup
On carnivore I never have sleep disturbance. I actually sleep way better without carbs. No farting in the middle of the night being the biggest benefit.
I agree with this after doing raw carnivore for couple years, I noticed that my inflammation when done after eating honeycomb and friuts. This was after what I believe when I became insulin sensitive and my a1c went up. I think that at the beginning of your journey and when you lose fat to get where you need to be its needed but later it's ok to eat fruit and honey but not as a reward or something but I eat it literally because I need sugar too. Still no rice, grains, or potatoes or vegetables
absolutely no 100 grams of carbs and I will not sleep at all I will have heartburn, lose no weight at all, no, ketosis is imperative for me at this time to control arthritis and so much more. Maybe one day when I have lost all the weight and am metabolically healthy that may change I am open to the possibility but that seems a long way off. My libido with carbs for me is literally zero, only returns on less than 20 carbs a day. I think we absolutely need more studies in relation to men vs. women in this arena.
Completely agree!! After being vegetarian then omnivore then vegan then carnivore then keto ....my best is meat and fruit. I reversed my fatty liver disease, diabetes and lost two dress sizes and still losing.
Typical bouncing around from fad diet to fad diet and one extreme to the other until you’ll finally come around to a healthy well balanced diet from all food groups. Your still not there yet it’s going to take somebody like you a couple years to finally figure it out
Having obsessed over carbs with keto, I find it's a mental challenge to let myself eat fruit without guilt and remorse. But fruit is definitely something I enjoy, and if I can make meat+fruit+dairy work long term, I'm all for it. Vegetables seem completely optional though. 😊
Re the study on rice: I'd say it's separating carbs and fats that avoids activating the Randall cycle. So this is not the whole picture at all. Because most people can't avoid fats or carbs in a mutually exclusive way, the study was short term so they didn't get malnutrition but what about fertility? A woman can get thin and infertile on a restricted diet.
I like that you look at the whole picture. Dr berry is also right that on the short term, no carbs is beneficial. Basically everyone in this space can just stop putting out redundant content. Eat fish, meat, good fats, home-fermented vegetables and milk. Food can be used as medicine. As such, if you have fatty liver , maybe some intermittent strong veg could be beneficial. Let’s not take hours of life out of what’s important. Laugh, live, improve
I was strict keto for 3 months. Lost 25lbs but had two periods in one month and had leg cramps often. I was using electrolytes and taking extra salt too.
Eat more protein and gluconeogenesis will provide all the glucose you need while also preventing electrolyte wastage via the insulin bump that high protein provides. 4 years carnivore basically carb-free and I have no issues whatsoever.
There are so many threats to our safety in this age. What we eat is just another threat. I have to admit that going carnivore was the easiest ever to lose those stubborn pounds that kept me from "lookin good Girl". What attracted me to carnivore was the testimonies of people overcoming auto-immune disease. I love the good eating, but it still won't make me free. Being cut free from every fear is freedom indeed. Jesus the Christ is ultimate freedom. Food won't cancel it. Praise the Lord.
I started carnivore because of Dr. Paul to feel better and lose weight. I lost 120lbs but I didn't "feel" well. As a matter of fact, I felt worse. Anxiety, depression, fatigue, brain fog, slurred speech, insomnia and more. So... I been added back carbs and eating 3x a day helped me feel normal. I was also skipping breakfast and sometimes lunch, Omad. My body did not like this along with carnivore or keto. Listen to your body!!!
I started the keto journey 2 years ago, eventually went to a keto-vore diet and slowly transitioned to a full carnivore which i have been for longer than 4 months now, I saw amazing benefits and have slimmed down immensely whilst retaining most if not all my muscle mass but recently i found myself hitting a wall... I started to get more and more muscle cramps, i was seemingly having to consume more salts and magnesium supplements and my libido was also starting to get affected... So today i have made the decision to slowly reintroduce honey and fruit I have already eaten 2 bananas and some honey and i already feel as if some stress is starting to leave my body.
Abit soon to claim the benefits but I do relate to what you're saying. I've been on carnivore 11 months and find myself getting muscle cramps quite alot now, especially when I'm in bed. Also noticed my labido has dropped too. I'm taking electrolytes each day and adding plenty of rock salt to my meals, maybe I'm overdoing it I duno.
Think I'll stick it out for the full 12 month then I might try adding some fruit here and there and see how that goes.. Do you eat fruit everyday with every meal, or just once a day or certain days of the week? Have you set to a schedule or just throw it in to your diet whenever you feel like it? I'm currently doing 2mad and 1meal on a Friday looking to get down to 1mad daily, full carnivore with a little dairy now and again.
The keto/carnivore community is filled with neurotics. I did the strict carnivore for 7 months. Felt great at first, but then came the sleep disturbances, zero libido, low energy, and heart palpitations. I decided to give fruit a try after watching many of your videos throughout my carnivore journey. I felt much better instantly. All the problems I listed went away. Although after depriving my body of carbs for 7 months. I had a very hard time stopping myself from eating fruit even after I was full. My body craved it very strongly for the first week. After that, though, it's no problem for me to eat a few bananas, orange, and an apple a day with no cravings.
I am not opposed to carbs and am recently transitioning to carnivore from keto, however there are people who have been carnivore for years and do not struggle without carbs so it isn't a one-size fits all topic. Carbs perhaps are generally 'essential' but not for everyone. @@madeleinegrayson8372
I'm a T2 diabetic and Paul still seems to think that taking carbs is good for diabetics. He cites a study done decades ago about feeding people white rice and sugar. I can tell you for me that would be suicidal. My blood sugars spike when I take sugar or rice and if I wanted to have my diabetes raging again I would take his advice. I think if you are insulin sensitive his advice might work for some. For those of us that have T2 diabetes, or at least for me, it doesn't make sense at all. I put my diabetes into remission 3 months after being diagnosed with diabetes. Now a year into it I'm still controlling it reasonably with an A1C between 5.5-5.7 (It was 13.2 in June of 2022). Anyone else that is T2 that has tried Paul's suggestion (obsession) to eat so much fruit and honey and had good results? Maybe this might work later on as it's only been 14 months for me low carb-animal based diet.
He does not promote white rice and sugar. He specifically speaks against all grains and processed sugar. He promotes carb consumption through fruits because their sugar content is not the same as processed sugar. Come on...even you could have figured that one out.
@@bizwiz1014 Even I could figure it out...?? How condescending of you. He talks about this study and says that eating carbs even in that ridiculous state can help control diabetes. That is absurd. I know he talks about fruit (ad nauseum) but that also delivers large doses of fructose/glucose to our bodies. I think he's running at around 300g of carbs a day. That would be incredibly high for a diabetic. My comments were to talk to other diabetics not those who are still metabolically healthy. Come on, even you could understand that.
Just because you have avoided carbs and dropped your A1c to a reasonable level what makes you think your diabetes has gone away? Im not trying to pour cold water on your parade but the underlying problem for T2 diabetics is the insulin resistance so has your insulin sensitivity improved or you dont know?
@@888jucu I did say that I put my diabetes into remission. I didn't say I cured it. I don't know what my fasting insulin was when I was first diagnosed since my doctor didn't order that test and still to this day only talks about A1C. He's not very helpful. I did go somewhere else and my fasting insulin was at 10.1 µIU/ml which is pretty good. I don't know if I'll ever fully reverse or eliminate diabetes (I doubt it) but if I can keep these numbers I should be grateful. I'm sticking with the change of lifestyle as it is getting great results for me. Maybe in the future I will have to change but I'm happy with where I am now physically. I would NOT have had such a transformation if I would have taken my doctor's advice (or lack thereof).
Doesn't many how many years ago The Rice Diet was used. There are still many people using that program who come off their diabetes medications in very short period. Dr McDougall has helped many do it.
I went carnivore and lost all my excess weight. Then I tried your diet and gained a lot of weight. I did get lazy with exercise, but the amount of carbs you are advocating does not appear to be feasible for a lot of people. Am I the only one who has gained weight on your diet?
@@Fuzzirasorry, i hadn't watched it when I commented. it was a rant. now that i've watched it, i'm pleased to see that he has mentioned different ranges. 100 g is about 4 bananas. still seems high to me. i think i was only eating about 100g when being inactive and a ton of weight came on. i guess everyone needs to experiment with their own bodies and activity levels.
Agree. Although I think carnivore/zero carb or almost zero carb keto is an excellent plan for obese, metabolically unhealthy people. Perhaps ideal. But once you have gotten lean and metabolically healthy, it's better to include some carbs. Especially if an athlete and focused on performance.
Yep and this is the truth re: all one-note and super restrictive diets. Once you start prioritizing fitness (for me that only came once I'd lost a good amount of weight and wanted to recomp) you realize restrictive diets actually hurt you
Have tried strict carnivore and i just don’t feel as good as when i have some carbs, like you said I can’t sleep on carnivore and I actually get anemic 😮 how does that work? Anyway I’m feeling great with a reintroduction of 40-80 grams of carbs a day, muscles stronger, energy better and no anemia now.
I was initially against you for flip-flopping between diets, but now I see the wisdom in eating tropical fruits. These don't make me addicted to sugar like other fruits have. I'm not sold on honey yet since it used to trigger my gout although I love it. Even adding fruits has helped me break through a weight-loss wall I hit recently. And tropical fruits allow me to eat non-organic since I don't eat the skin (pineapple, banana, papaya).
I never liked fruit or vegetables. Once in a while I could eat an apple if it wasnt mealy. I have been strict carnivore for 5 months now and have no problem sticking with it due to the wide choices of animals available. My mainstay is ribeye, shrimp, lobster, scallops wrapped in bacon and homemade beef jerky dipped in butter. Grains are out of the question as I am a carbohydrate addict and will only result in me eating junk and putting on fat. I guess I can slowly add some honey to my coffee and see how that goes.
@@Mousehansen While this may be true I also enjoy edible cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms. And I drink tequila straight up maybe once a month even less depending on time of year. The body can easily handle infrequent use . It's the repetitious use of sugar and seed oils every day that will steel your health. Plants are medicine not food. All work and no play can kill you too. Lol
@@Mousehansen I have been adding local honey to my morning cup of coffee for a couple days now, I'm not big on the taste, I'll try it for a week or two and see how I feel.
Valued this thank you, I absolutely cannot have such hight levels of fat that many Keto/carnivore advise. Plus the activity for a lean person and insulin signalling - lack off, adding in berries, some other fruits if I choose I am pretty certain will be a gamechanger for me.
Everyone is different depending Genes, Ancestors, Blood type etc. You need to experiment to find out what works best for you. A food elimination diet such as carnivore in the beginning is a good place to start as it gives your digestion a rest and kills off bacteria overgrowth such as SIBO. After a few weeks or months, you can then start introducing one food at a time and see if you get bloated or suffer any inflammation. And now we are back to a balanced diet of meat, fruit and veg.
Prior to the Agricultural Revolution, modern humans would have never eaten a significant amount of carbohydrates. A diet where 30% of calories came from carbohydrates would be the upper end of even the most aggressive estimates. Thus modern human physiology and biochemistry evolved in and from this “low” carbohydrate, low glycemic, low insulin environment. The default diet of modern humans in the wild was a low carbohydrate diet. If we look at what the world eats now we can see carbohydrates dominate. But perhaps surprisingly there are just four “foods” that contribute to the majority of carbohydrate consumption: wheat, corn, rice, and sugar. Wheat, corn, rice and grains are thought of as ancient foods, daily staples since the beginning of human existence. But if you put all of human existence (since Homo habilis~3 million years ago) on a 24 hour clock, they didn’t become any significant part of the human diet until 5 minutes ago. For 23 hours and 55 minutes, humans didn’t eat wheat, corn, rice and grains. Besides requiring agricultural techniques to consume in any meaningful way, they are laced with plant toxins and antinutrients to prevent herbivores (and humans) from eating the plant’s offspring (the seeds). However, 5 minutes ago we took these plant seeds and made them a significant part of the human diet by artificially breeding and selecting for size and abundance. Then in the last second, during the Industrial Revolution, we began refining them, thereby further concentrating carbohydrates and their prepackaged toxins. In this last split-second we altered them even further. We began genetically modifying them. Now about 90% of major crops are GMO. We’ve engineered new traits into plants that wouldn’t otherwise naturally occur. We’ve engineered higher lectin loads to deter insects. We began spraying them with pesticides, insecticides, and fungicides. We’ve added preservatives, so we can store and ship these foods around the world. And all of these changes came with a heavy price: - We know sugar - and thus carbs - are addicting. - We know that carbohydrates are a nonessential nutrient. - It’s clear that simple sugars, fructose, and refined carbohydrates dysregulate our hormones and appetites, lead to overeating and obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes, and are implicit in the most deadly diseases today including heart disease, cancer, and dementia.
What about when you have already too much insulin in your blood, insulin resistant? You keep eating carbs to push your pancreas producing even more? I dont think so
I found that after years of doing LCHF, increasing carbs and calories significantly improved my recovery after workouts and enabled a nagging shoulder injury to finally heal. My lifts have gone up. Didn't notice any adverse affect on body fat. Energy arguably levels are better with more carbs. It's an experiment in progress, but so far so good.
How in the hell are people like Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Ken Berry etc doing so well? Is it that their livers are producing adequate glucose through gluconeogenesis? Are damaged livers the real issue or what in the hell is actually going on? Thanks
None of those look good and healthy. Berry is super red and inflamed looking, Baker’s skin looks dull, Chaffee looks tired when you see him without filters, plus the thinning eyebrows. And baker’s labs are not that great from what I remember.
@@alenakarpekina4907 So gluconeogenesis is not adequate for optimal health & I should be consuming a half a cup of sugar a day in fruits to get my necessary carbs?
@@alenakarpekina4907 Genetics determine 90% of your looks.I think you're reading way too much into their looks. You have no proof that they're unhealthy.
I'm unconvinced. My sleep, libido, and all other metrics improved greatly on pure carnivore, anytime I've eaten carbs I feel bloated and heavy, headaches, anxiety, and poor sleep. Insulin resistance is primarily caused by processed foods which is the combination of seed oils and processed sugars, together they cause all the metabolic dysfunctions required for IR.
It's because you're eating too many carbs. Having 100 grams of carbs a day is a healthy balance. He just said this in the video. You were probably binging on carbs like the average American. 50 grams of carbs or less is keto. 50-100 grams of carbs is low carb. 100-100,000 is high carb and where 99% of Americans live in their diet.
@@lke4907 The last example I can think of was eating some fish and chips with my mother at a local shop that makes their own products and has fresh fish. I ordered fish for myself, and there were chips on the table from other orders. At the end there were some chips left over and I ate maybe 100-150 grams of chips because my mum was insisted and I thought what the heck. All the negative symptoms I described to you was what I experienced over the the next day or two. I'm otherwise a nearly entirely carnivore diet - I only include a banana in my egg shake in the morning.
@williambelmont9601 stay away from oils. I eat only butter and olive oil. Fried food makes me feel terrible, too! Carbs I'm talking about would be sweet potatoes and vegetables and fruits. Those are where you get your 100 grams from. Not bread.
The Plains Indians of the 19th century were some of the tallest men in the world, without dairy consumption. The staple food of North American Plains Indians was the bison and they ate virtually the entire carcass. The Plains Indians consumed high amounts of animal food on average (76-85%). A man requiring 3000 daily kilocalories consuming one pound of bison meat (26 % of his daily energy expenditure) would obtain 134 grams of high quality animal protein and 23 mg of zinc, exceeding the DRI for zinc by 8 mg. Eating one and a half pounds of bison meat (40.1 % of daily energy requirements) he would achieve 201 grams of protein, 34 mg of zinc (more than twice the DRI). It seems unlikely that Plains Indians had access to 200 g / d fruit & honey many days a year.
Paleo propaganda. Tribes were all different, many were hunter/gatherers/traders and ate lots of fruits and vegetables. By the way, their life expectancy was nothing to brag about....high 40s.
@@JoeS97756 Fiction. Assertion devoid of even minimal facts. Why bother? Everything in my post is verifiable. You got one part right, they hunted...bison first and foremost. There were twenty million of them on the central plains into the early & middle 19 century. Where do you think those fruits and veggies came from? The non-existent irrigated farms in California that must ship refrigerated produce across America? The non-existent irrigated corn fields of the central U.S? The non-existent fertilized pesticide assisted genetically-modified monocrops of industrial agriculture subsidized by a vast central U.S. government? LOL. You've given this a lot of thought, haven't you. Cheers!
@@beautifulgirl219 I guess you don't know what the gatherer part of hunter gatherer meant? Farming isn't a modern invention. Here it is from Wikipedia if you don't believe me. Plains Indians or Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies are the Native American tribes and First Nation band governments who have historically lived on the Interior Plains (the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies) of North America. While hunting-farming cultures have lived on the Great Plains for centuries prior to European contact, the region is known for the horse cultures that flourished from the 17th century through the late 19th century. Their historic nomadism and armed resistance to domination by the government and military forces of Canada and the United States have made the Plains Indian culture groups an archetype in literature and art for Native Americans everywhere. Then there were the domesticated crops and wild foods. While there were many nomadic tribes that thrived on hunting and gathering, many others became advanced farmers, developing special techniques like irrigation, terracing, and crop rotation to have enough food to survive through winter. Farming in unison with gathering - from simple berry picking to more complicated processes like tapping trees for maple syrup - provided these indigenous people with a variety of healthy sources of food. Important crops and wild foods included pumpkins, wild rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggs, honey, a variety of nuts, cranberries, strawberries, wild plums, roots, greens, and a huge variety of other fruits and vegetables.
@@JoeS97756 You my friend are misinformed. WILD foods in the central plains have a relatively brief growing season and a much shorter ripeness season of around a month. When the U.S. government finally subdued the Native Americans it was primarily from a single tactic--hunting into non-existence its nearly sole food source--the American Bison. That is fact. They didn't need to search out the negligible supply of wild berries for a brief period, there were no vast fields of pumpkins tended by natives, honey & maple syrup is pure sugar, not a nutrient, & if you believe wild roots and wild plums made up more than an incidental supplement, essentially a garnish, to a diet of animal protein and animal fat, you are flatly uninformed. The .1% of the world's wild edible plants that are consumed are historically consumed during famines and food shortages. The potato wasn't grown in Europe until 1600, in the U.S. it was 1720 when Irish immigrants brought it over. The idea that the plains indians had a long cultural history of widespread, persistent, dietarily essential agriculture, is untrue.
Thank you for this. I started carnivore after ten years of eating dirty keto. I would eat chocolate and peanut butter every day. After I went carnivore, I got really sick from oxalates dumping. Then I just got incrediblyconstipated. I had already decide to eat a small amount of fruit. So this comes along at the right time for me.
I was carnivore. Weight ok but A1c is not going down at all. I added 70 carbs of fruit and honey a day. So it is working to bring my sugars down. Carbs & honey sounds crazy but it works for me. My husband does well on carnivore.
A1C is used as an indicator of insuline resistance, but many factors cans cause a higher or lower a1c. Anemias, Deficiencies. Menopause. Sleep. Even good health. If your red blood cells live longer then a1c will report back higher as it accumulates over months. More Months due to higher life span of RBC , higher A1c. A CGM could give you more clarity.
I was doing keto with basically salad as my only trace carb for a while. Recently started slowly switching to the animal based diet. I just had frozen blueberries and honey and it was the best thing ever.
What’s the minimum daily requirement?? It works for you. But since more than half of the West is insulin resistant and (even more are heading that way ) it means this isn’t a good idea for hardy anyone.
@@SullivanKelly85 yep - full keto for too long can chronically raise cortisol. That’s not what anyone is talking about. But the fact remains the Western diet is to high in carbs. When people cut that they improve. Always .
I noticed that when I started eating keto, I would feel like crap unless I hit 80-150 grams of carbs per day. Felt weak below that and just felt sluggish above. Maybe it depends on the person and their activity level...
I'm on Day#4 carnivore, and finding it boring. But with no real health issues, I've decided that basic hunter-gatherer is the way to go, as I have fruit and nuts on my land. It makes sense to eat these in their season from my land (no purchased fruit), eat the pheasants, squirrels and rabbits too, and buy locally produced, mostly organic meats.
Before taking this into consideration it would be advisable to do a HOMA-IR test. You need to check whether you are at, or approaching, insulin resistance
I went back to low carb. Going to be 50 and the struggle is real. I keep it around 50 to 75 grams a day. Only been a few days though. Mental health benefits are noticeable. I also like my exercise for mental health benefits so I need a bit more carbs.
Won't your blood glucose lower, regardless of diet, if you lose weight when starting at obese? Also, they're getting fat when they lose weight. They're body uses the fat they've been holding onto. What was their blood glucose level compared to others or compared to a low carb/carnivore after they lost weight a few years later? As someone who lost weight. I went from 320 to now 130 (5'3), I tried three methods. I started with Keto. It was extremely easy. I got down to 200 in a year. Then I dropped another 20lbs in the next few months after that. I got blood work done and it was far better than when I was at 320 as you can imagine. Everything. At 185, I stayed there for a bit by deciding to take a break and eat "healthy" with carbs. I found myself getting depressed again, and when I decided to lose weight again, I didn't go keto and it was extremely hard. I couldn't get back on track. I then decided to go on an extremely low calorie diet to shed as much as I could in a 3 month time. In those 3 months I ate what I wanted but limited my calories to 700-1200. I did eat rice, sweet potatoes, chicken etc. I did lose the weight because it's low calorie. I got to 165 in 3 months. I felt awful. I got my blood work done and all was good. But I had a skin infection arise that I never had. I was extremely depressed, anxious, tired. I mean all the symptoms that come with being malnourished, but my lab work was still "good". I went off of it and decided to try carnivore. I still lost weight, but far more quickly. I finished the last 20lbs in just 2 months and another 10 over the next 2 months. I was feeling great. My lab work is far better than at any point. Even my blood work is amazing. I got pregnant in Oct-Nov and listened to doctors and added "healthy" carbs back in. I added berries all organic as I could, tomatoes, avocados, and peppers were the only vegetables. Then I added some grains like rice. I added these slowly. I ended up having a miscarriage. I don't think it was due to anything I ate but I will say, I gained 10lbs extremely quickly and I really wasn't eating that much. When I was taking it slowly, I saw no real difference in mood or weight with berries, tomatoes, avocados, peppers. I only saw a difference when I added rice and pasta. My blood work was fine. 3 weeks later, I had my blood work taken multiple times and during this the less grains I ate, even though my blood work was fine throughout, it got better. I'm in the process of losing those 10lbs I gained during the pregnancy/miscarriage. I can't eat any carbs including fruit without gaining weight. Milk I can have a glass in the morning but any mid day or night, I gain weight the next day. Even if all I change is the one glass of milk at differing times. I'm having my blood work again next week and I know it will be better than at any point because I've stuck with carnivore. I will say that I don't think fruit or honey or dairy if you can handle it is bad. I've seen no difference on blood work or mood. I don't even see a difference in weight as long as I'm not trying to lose weight. For example if I'm 130, eating high fat, add fruit, honey, or milk, I stay at 130. However, any other carbs and I'm doomed. I plan to add fruit and honey back in once I get to my goal weight. My point is I don't think the answer is so obvious and I don't know if that study is the full picture. Also want to point out that I quit smoking as well around the 185 range, and recently before my pregnancy quit coffee (that made a world of difference as well). Then I took up drinking coffee again after the miscarriage, but then quit again and I haven't had a cup since. That improved my sleep more than anything.
Paul saladino is the reason why my life changed. Meat fruit and honey is a game changer. I only eat once a day and im very satiated. If im truly starving i will eat plain greek yogurt with organic honey which also fixes my sweet tooth.
Same here. I was doing carnivore to lose weight which I did but I started struggling to lose any more weight then I found Paul Saladino and added fruits and honey and the weight fell off quick
After years of keto & low carb, Ive started to cycle in some sprouted brown rice...much more grounded & balanced....❤ Everyone is different, fine tune your diet for you!
Everyone credits you for helping them introduce meat and organs into their diet and the amazing benefits that come from it. Which is great. However I honestly feel what you have done for carbs and fruit is even more important. Most people eat meat already but most people have become afraid of carbs and fruit. Especially fruit which clearly has so many benefits and we have eaten throughout all of human history. I was one of those people who was afraid of fruit i've barely touched fruit or carbs for almost a decade. Believing there weren't low GI and that fruit and carbs 'fed' candida and parasites. Eating Quinao three times a day for my carb source and having ongoing gut issues and dysbiosis. Thanks to you I have completely removed quinao and now eat lots of fruit and honey and my blood sugars have improved, my digestion has improved and I my microbiome is improving. There are so many myths in the health industry. I think fruit is like the eggs of 20 years ago. We will come to understand that fruit sugar is very different to refined sugar over the coming years. Thank you for getting the importance of fruit out to the world 🙏
Eaten throughout human history? What about those nine or so months every year? Or the countries where the fruit does not grow? Or the animals that never eat fruit? Well?
@@Cryptoscammersbeware his point is that it's not ancestral food or anything that has been with us so abundant (and with that much sugar) like these days..
@@Cryptoscammersbeware @althe was referring to the OP's comment amount "fruits being eaten throughout human history", and you counter that with "it's 2023". LOL. Forrest Gump's mom was right: stupid is as stupid does.
I was doing alright on low carb, for a long time, decades ago. I still needed caffeine to prop myself up, but I could sleep, workout, etc. Once perimenopause hit, everything changed. Now without ample carbs I face insomnia, hot flashes, fatigue, sluggish digestion, just feel terrible. With adequate carbs, all of that stops, all the usual menopause woes. I won't do HRT or take drugs to cope so I had to experiment with diet and lifestyle to manage this drastic change. Even workouts have had to change, a lot.
You don't need to eat carbs. Your liver will make ketones which serve as fuel by breaking down fat in the absence of carbs when your body doesn't have enough sugar to run on. FYI, adding more salt to your diet will eliminate the cramps you'll experience when eating a carnivore diet. I make my own salt capsules and take two once a day. It has eliminated the cramping.
if you are lean and u were jabbed as a kid added carbs work better none of us natural human beings we are all injured and altered only few people can get away with near 0 carb and not be death door lean, also everytime you eat a big meal your ketones lower so ur not gonna be in the mythical "deep ketosis" 24/7 insulin is normal stop watching dr berg videos
Hi Paul, loved this podcast clip! I recently added more fruit to my diet, and feel great. I'm an audio engineer, and noticed that your audio was doubled when you shared your screen. You can configure your streaming software to mute your audio feed to the screen share video channel.
The body can store up to 150g of carbs in the form of glycogen in the liver alone not including what gets stored in muscle tissue. We use up most of our stored glycogen from the liver in one night of sleep. It would make sense to me to at the very least replenish that the following day if you arent active. Obviously the body can convert protein to glucose but you likely wouldnt able to convert enough to replenish what your body uses on a daily basis especially if youre active. Its no wonder lack of carbohydrate could cause sleep disturbances. Unless youre in ketosis every cell in the body is using carbohydrate whether youre actively consuming carbs or not. The brain especially requires alot of carbohydrate.
I like Paul a lot but am not sold on everything he says. You have to remember that he's very active, lifts weights and is extremely physically fit. He's does not have a "normal" family with 3 kids/commuting to work every day/family dinners weeknights/running to kid's activities etc. type of life. I'm mostly carnivorous (eggs, beef, fish, chicken, venison), eat some small pieces of fruit and a half of sweet potato (with farm fresh real butter!!), and perhaps some arugula with olive oil and parmigiano reggiano and fermented veggies on a daily basis. I do cheat every now and have something sweet or organic egg noodles with cream sauce, but that is the exception, not the rule. I'm 50 this year and feeling wonderful. Blood pressure is consistently in the 117/75 range and resting heartbeat is 55. I think we just need to remember to limit/eliminate most sugar from your diet and to exercise (walking 30 minutes a day), reduce seed oils. Don't beat yourself up if you have a small sliver of cake or cookie from time to time and try to fast every so often if you can. Of course, if you are more active, you likely can indulge in more fruit and honey.
I had all those issues as well. Been on and off keto and carnivore over the past 15 years. It's weird but the longer I stay in ketosis the worse I feel, even with all the knowledge i've gained it seems keto does me worse now than ever. Zero carb carnivore nowadays causes electrolyte imbalances within a week, if I do 50 grams a day on keto it'll take a month, at around 100 grams of carbs a day I feel much better. The problem is that my skin is worse with the carbs...always a catch 22 with diet. My eyes are also really dry on zero carb, although my inflammation is non existent. The amount of electrolytes I was supplementing was absurd, I remember when i initially did keto in 2008 with no real online community to get info from and I did fantastic with 0 electrolyte supps. So I tried 0 supps again and that didn't work nowadays, keto/low carb can be tricky, i gotta accept that doesn't work as well as it used to for me...which sucks because my skin is so much better in ketosis.
So I have the same issue as you. So years of trial and error, the carbs that work for me, funny enough, is white rice. Idk if because I’m Asian, but it works for me. So my best diet for me is, fish, meat, chicken with just white rice. No issue what so ever. We’re all different, we need to find out which works best for us. There is no cure all diet.
were you getting electrolyte tests? if not , how do you know you had electrolyte imbalances ? also were you eating a lot of organ meats ? that will cause electrolyte imbalances
@@upyours1256 yes organ meats. Everybody is different bro. If your good on a pure carnivore diet, then good for you. Not me. I was on carnivore for 2 years and I train 5 days a week.
I’ve been on a zero carb diet going on five months now. I’m 50 years old and have never felt better. Blood glucose is back to normal. Arthritis inflammation gone. Sleeping better. More energy. The list goes on. I can assure you that your videos will not be in my recommendations anymore. 👍
Paul, some people literally cannot eat carbs, I think I might be one of them, everytime I go higher carbs, my joint inflammation flares up, and my acne comes back, I’ll stick with low carb

What are humans designed to eat? Here are 2 hints: 1st hint: For several decades now healthcare has told us to cut down on fats, especially saturated fats, avoid red meat, eat a diet consisting of whole grains and starches, and lots of fruits and vegetables. Since we have followed these recommendations obesity, diabetes and a host of other diseases and chronic illness have exploded. 2nd hint: Our brains exploded. I’ll explain. 2.5 million years ago and earlier hominid fossils show that our cranial cavities remain fairly constant in size. But 2.5 million years ago our brains begain to explode in size. Growing to 4 times their ancestors size. So what happened 2.5 million years ago? About 2.5 million years ago the world cooled down and the series of ice ages began which lasted until roughly 10k years ago. So for 2.5M years even places close the equator would have had a climate similar to that of Greenland today. With long cold winters and short cool summers, there would have been very few plant foods for much of the year. It was inevitable that animals like reindeer, bears, rhino, mammoths had to become our prominent food source. Ice Age animals tended to be fat, and their fat provided both insulation against the cold and energy reserves. It was this fat that humans ate that built our brains. Animal fat is a source of ready-made long-chain fatty acids, including 20 and 22 carbon chain fatty acids like AA, DTA, EPA, DHA essential for brain development and found only in animal foods. The longest chain in vegetable oils - linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) are 18 carbon fatty acids. Humans, just like all mammals can chain elongate and desaturate these to produce the longer chain fatty acids but we’re very inefficient at it. By eating meat, we fed the brain with preformed 20 and 22 carbon fatty acids. We no longer had to endogenously synthesize these fats from the 18 carbon plant fatty acids. Our brain growth could never have happened without these fats. Now for the scary part of the story. 10k years ago we invented agriculture at the end of the last ice age. We traded our high-energy, fat-rich foods of animal origin for grains which became our staple food. In the last 10k years, which is basically overnight in terms of our evolutionary history, our brain has shrunk well over 10%. I’ll let you decide what you think we are designed to eat. Sometimes the evidence isn’t right in front of our eyes - but right behind them.
There are 2 ways to lower insulin low carb or low energy, if somebody thinks that eating only rice and fruits and under 1000 kcals a day, for which Kempner was beating up his patients to continue the diet go ahead. Main problem of Paul is he becomes overly dogmatic for which diet he follows at a specific point in time, before it was meat and organs (he couldnt handle even dairy due to his eczema breakout). Now it is all about fruits honey dairy as primary (lets be honest he eats more sugar/fruit/honey then meat). The cherry picking science is also great, I guess the science and clinical trials showing that keto is putting into remission or at least improving diabetes, epilepsy, schizophrenia, bipolar etc does not matter I guess and we can just disregard it. If Paul was so open-minded as he says he is, he would not bash something that is helping and has helped a ton of people, that does not mean that everybody should follow it but you should be open to the possibility that it is helping many people. It is no wonder that he is not debating or at least inviting someone who is doing low carb/keto/carnivore long term and/or knowledgable people such as Anthony Chaffee (20 years), Robert Sikes (7 years) and many others I could mention. But dont worry Paul, evidence will continue to come out in favor of the ketogenic diet, many trials on their way especially on bipolar and depression.
Can’t speak for your situation. People metabolisms are destroyed these days and we dont know how much that plays a factor or not. Groups of the wild humans that we’ve been able to make contact with seem to eat fruit and honey and don’t gain weight and are terrific athletes. I dont know of any purely meat eating people currently or historically. Doesn’t mean they didn’t exist. But it would seem carbs found a way in our diet most of our existence, so we can’t discredit them.
Hey Paul Saladino, I’ve just started following you after following many other carnivore influencers- the ones who don’t eat fruit or honey. I will be visiting friends and family in a week and I’m really thankful that my diet won’t be as strict. I’ve been eating a fresh fruit salad and some potatoes. It’s sure nice to have these extra things in the diet. I hope they don’t disagree with me. I bought honey but I haven’t used it yet. I want to get away from Stevia or monk fruit in my coffee, so that’s where I’ll use the honey. But it looks like you actually eat it on a spoon. Very interesting.
It all depends, I like Paul throws unconventional ideas here and there. What he is promoting now is just cleaner version of Paleo (minus vegs unless you tolerate them very well). I find his advices really helpful based on my own personal experience. I felt best on no veg, keto/lc BUT with rice and banana after workout. I couldn't find back then anyone doing it, but it was working for me. If there is no season for fruits where I am, I wouldn't eat it. But now living in tropical climate, and without fruits I was constantly dehydrated. Coconut is literally life saver. People who avoid debates with PS may have various reasons but be aware of ALL of them including PS, they are looking for some hype and click-profits. Fasting was fency, now everyone makes devil out of it. Fasting IS good, beneficial and simple, also... FREE. Is fasting for 7days and doing rough strenght training like PA was smart? answer yourself.
Here is an interesting experience when I consume very low carbohydrate (rice) like when in keto diet: I rarely get morning wood! So based on my personal experience, I typically experience morning wood every day. However, I’ve noticed that drastically reducing my carbohydrate intake, rice in my case, seems to have an effect on my libido. I'm from South East Asia, I eat rice every day, probably two full plates a day.
Saladino will come full circle and embrace his true heritage soon enough. Salad. I'm guessing he will jump on the beet green, garlic, and olive oil train. He will be warmly greeted by Thomas DeLauer and many colabs will follow.
The basic idea is to eat in a way that optimizes for digestion and nutrient density while also minimizing any antinutrients. This turns out to be, meat, organs, fruit, and honey.
I can't believe it I bought the Carnivore code last week and today he is on five channels saying he is saying eat fruit honey carbs Can you tell me what is going on please.

Been on carnivore for 8 months now. For some reason my eyesight improved and my current glasses are too strong. I have lost weight but still have left side pulse noise in my ear. Mental clarity improved. I was paralyzed through a spinal injury and the carnivore along with weight lifting is helping to restore some of my muscles and nerves.
A prolonged water fasting could help further. Or a fasting mimicking diet for couple for weeks. Tinnitus is related to damage cells/mitochondria/capillaries/nerve endings. A fasting induced autofagy not only clears damaged mitochondria from cells or outright destroys damaged cells, but the following period you experience an massive increase in growth hormones and stem cells that further repair the damages to cells, capillaries and nerve endings. Wont cure outright the problem(at least not immediately) but i believe you going to see great improvement. Either way, what do you have to lose?
That's amazing that your eyesight improved!!
Good stuff. Blessings
Amazing brother. Thanks for sharing. Do not let limiting belief hinder you, your body will keep restoring itself, given the right circumstances.

The two people in diet health i respect and take seriously is Dr Paul Sal and Dr Anthony Chaffee. Its a bit frustrating since some of their knowledge can at times be contradictory. But the best part I think is that they both just want the facts and truth. Hopefully these two can continue to come together and challenge each other more for everyones benefit including their own.
I see carnivore as survivalist or warrior diet. Eventually you have to make a homestead to raise a family. Weston a. Price is carnivore plus fermented vegetables, sourdough bread, soaked or sprouted grains before cooking. Its about the long game. And peace. My engine is always running on carnivore.. adding back calms me down.....I have 2 more weeks of carnivore
Maybe I a m an exception to the rule but going low or no carb, drastically helps me to fall asleep and stay asleep. Also gives me healthy energy, mental clarity, and a sense of calm etc.
Youre not the exception, you are the rule. This channel is basically a gathering for carb addicts who do everything to justify their addiction, talking about how bad no carb is. Its all bullsh*t.
Yes, I'm the same.
@@oranges557 exactly, WHAT I EAT IN DAY: mango, bananas, mystery fruits, honey
Same here. If I eat carbs, I get sleepy and it has a negative effect on my mental clarity. I can get away with a couple of teaspoons of honey, or a glass of milk a day, but more than that I want to take a nap. Also, I'm also VERY physically active.
I was on strict keto for a few years and i saw results in terms of lean body mass. I started hitting a ceiling and there is a strong possibility it was the absence of whole food carbs missing in my diet. I slowly introduced it with honey and fruits fearing that I would store fat in areas such as belly and chest If I went full on. Fruits, honey and dates has become my staple now. End result is muscle hypertrophy, and good sleep

Many are the same as you. But if Paul find something that works for him he becomes religious in his beliefs.
You have said it.

@@AndrewCasti Let's say he goes for the absolute worst carbs in terms of triggering GERD, like fruits.
What has been your strategy to CURE GERDs?
I think carb cycling in rhythm with the seasons and your geographical environment is optimal for most. You can argue so many ways about carbs being essential or non-essential but the truth is it really just depends. If you’re from Canada and it’s January, does it really make sense to eat tropical fruits and honey? Maybe if you live in Costa Rica. Everyone’s situation is different and a one size fits all approach of eating fruit year round doesn’t make sense. Local and seasonal eating is the way to go.
Exactly. Temperature affects metabolism. Exercising in hot weather burns more calories than working out in cold temperatures because it takes more energy to cool your body in the heat.
@@climate-civilizations so more fat during winter and carbs during summer...

I have lost 10 lbs on my BBBE diet in 5 weeks. But, the nighttime leg cramps were awful even though I was drinking electrolyte water. Yesterday, I took your advice and stopped by the grocery store and bought some organic bananas, blueberries, mangoes, and honey. This morning I stepped on the scale and-boom-down another 1.5 pounds and slept all night without any leg cramps. You’re amazing Dr. S!

Just magnesium homie. Water sources depleted of minerals these days. The sweets will cause glycation over time.
I went carnivore keto after being diagnosed with NAFLD for about a year and once I lost 50lbs and started feeling better I reintroduced couple of fruits a day and weekly spoon of honey...I now feel my body is in complete balance...

Yo Paul, your book carnivore code is coming in the mail today. Im on day 4 of meat, organs, dairy, fruit and honey, truly feel a difference already, i feel way way less stressed, less anxiety, more satiated, calmer. Everyday at noon i cant wait to eat that big bite of liver. And at my second meal i have a little goat heart and kidney, the goat heart is eons better than a steak. Its been fun and exciting getting on a good eating path. What ive cut out is a lot of gluten, pizza, pasta, bread, cut out veggies, ate lots of veggies every day with meat, entire body was badly inflamed and stressed. And cut out junky snacks chips, ice cream and chocolate. These last four days my first meal has been ground beef with heritage eggs and melted cheese, some greek yogurt on the side, and 1oz of beef liver, banana, raw honey. Second meal is ground beef creamed with sour cream and a little cream cheese, yellow squash, avocado, and little side of cottage cheese, little goat heart and kidney. Any snacks just apples, bananas, or a lil squirt of honey, or warm glass of bone broth. Already created my second weeks meal plan and shopped this morning. Average $75-80 dollars for each week now. Feels awesome man, thank you. Cant wait to start reading the book later. Me and my fiance just went down such a rocky path with eating. She was a vegan for 7 years, i met her and she got me to go vegan i lasted a year, i went from 175 looking normal and healthy to 130, all my bones showing, weak as hell and my cheeks sunk in, and just slept all day. She moved in and in a month i had us back on steak and eggs haha. And helped her heal layers and layers of health issues. Once we were healthy again we just started eating junk and having fun with food which equally led down a bad path. Went from 130lb vegan back to 170lb normal, now 195, big pot belly, lazy, bad posture, inflamation, stress. 4 days in. And not stopping. No more gluten. No more trash. Lifes worth more than that bullshit.
I’m totally mixed on this topic. On zero carb carnivore I have insane energy and mental clarity, and exponentially better workouts, but I do get the sleep disturbances occasionally. Although I feel so great that even with the sleep disturbances I still operate at 80-90%. This came in handy when I had my first child haha.
If I add in carbs my sleep improves greatly but then I get major brain fog and far less energy for workouts.
I’ve tried to find a middle ground by adding in a few carbs around intense workouts but it’s very hard to find the sweet spot.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Could it be the timing of your carbs or even the source? Do you workout fasted? Also you can email heart & soil and they are incredible about answering questions. Very knowledgeable. I feel like I’ve asked them a hundred questions my self. When you add in carbs do you keep your fat the same or do you lower your fats? I think one of the problems people have when adding carbs back and their energy tanks is because you have switched from using ketones to using glucose. If you train heavy and don’t get enough glucose then you will train poorly. Are you upping your carbs enough before workouts? There’s probably a sweet spot for everyone with carbs and being flexible is the ultimate goal I think. From a biological point of view we are built to bounce back and forth when needed. This also keeps us insulin sensitive. You can become insulin resistant when you never have carbs. Being flexible is ideal. Maybe experiment with your macros. Add a good amount of carbs on training days and less on non training days. Good luck man!
The crazy thing is that Paul was on carnivore and either lying to everyone or not experiencing many bad things because he kept on saying he felt the best he ever had when he was zero carb. All of the "problems" seemed to be revealed to us later.
I have a little bit of carbs (yogourt & berries) one hour after my last carnivore fat meal (1-2 hours before sleep). This help me having a deeper sleep while not affecting my ketone levels (blood measurements) in the morning.
@@-whackd Jesus what is wrong with you simple minded people!? Have you never changed your mind? And initially he probably did feel better because he got rid of crappy food. Let’s use some common sense here. Even vegans feel great at first for the same reason but as time goes on they don’t. It’s getting really annoying that people are so boxed in and judgmental!

I have adrenal PCOS and have high cortisol most of the time. Strict carnivore, fasts and prolonged ketosis elevate my cortisol. Waking up at 3 pm, trouble sleeping, cramps,.constipation,... Adding some fruit back did help. Having elevated cortisol one aims to not stress the body more. That's why fasts and keto is not the best option fir everybody.
So do i!
I heard butter is excellent for lowering cortisol.
I was 5 days into carnivore when my pulse climbed, had 0 energy and felt like I was on the verge of panic till around 10am....then it improved. It seemed to kick my body into a state of anxiety. Ended up on medication. I added in carbs and cortisol came down. Still feel internally anxious after 3 months. I eat raspberries and pumpkin and a sourdough gf muffin , no sugar, each day and the rest meat. So ketovore. Wish my body would calm down as my bloods look great, but feel not great anxiety wise.
John Yudkin was born in 1910, in the East End of London. His parents were Russian Jews who settled in England after fleeing the pogroms of 1905. Yudkin’s father died when he was six, and his mother brought up her five sons in poverty. By way of a scholarship to a local grammar school in Hackney, Yudkin made it to Cambridge. He studied biochemistry and physiology, before taking up medicine. After serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps during the second world war, Yudkin was made a professor at Queen Elizabeth College in London, where he built a department of nutrition science with an international reputation.
John Yudkin had sounded the alarm on sugar back in 1972, in a book called Pure, White, and Deadly. When Yudkin looked at the data on heart disease, he was struck by its correlation with the consumption of sugar, not fat. He carried out a series of laboratory experiments on animals and humans, and observed, as others had before him, that sugar is processed in the liver, where it turns to fat, before entering the bloodstream.
He noted, too, that while humans have always been carnivorous, carbohydrates only became a major component of their diet 10,000 years ago, with the advent of mass agriculture. Sugar - a pure carbohydrate, with all fibre and nutrition stripped out - has been part of western diets for just 300 years; in evolutionary terms, it is as if we have, just this second, taken our first dose of it. Saturated fats, by contrast, are so intimately bound up with our evolution that they are abundantly present in breast milk. To Yudkin’s thinking, it seemed more likely to be the recent innovation, rather than the prehistoric staple, making us sick.
“If only a small fraction of what we know about the effects of sugar were to be revealed in relation to any other material used as a food additive,” Yudkin wrote in his book, “that material would promptly be banned.” His book did well, but Yudkin paid a high price for it. Prominent nutritionists like Ancel Keys combined with the food industry to destroy his reputation, and his career never recovered. He died, in 1995, a disappointed, largely forgotten man.
In recent years, the misrepresentation of LCHF as keto diet is to confuse the population. In addition to this our body prefers and categorizes fat into long chain and medium chain, not PUFA, MUFA or SFA. Most people are doing dirty keto, long chain and refined which is bad.
@@wilsont1010 Just use the FMSW-protocoll:
- fatty meat (when hungry/until satiated)
- 100% unrefined salt (to taste)
- high quality mineral water (when thirsty)
The proteïnes inside the meat are the building blocks of the human body. The colagen inside the meat is the glue that holds your body together. The fat inside the meat is the intermediate between the fat souluble vitamins and your body.
Tip: you don't need those electrolyte powders & sport drinks wich are chemical and unnatural. Lemon juce also contains a lot of electrolytes and is a natural product. Filling your water bottle with a mixture of 5% freshly squeezed lemon juice & 95% high quality mineral water gives you a very tasty natural sport drink.
I really feel like you need to make a longer video on this because I’m left confused. I don’t think you’ve made your case yet. My doctor wants me on one meal a day with around 30 grams of carbs a day. I’m 50 yr old female not active enough with memory issues and just crossed over into prediabetic range. I think making a video like this can have people who are older and not as active reaching for too much fruit and honey. You have to understand most people don’t have time to spend hours being as active as you. The average person does not have the time or money to live such a fun life we are wondering how to afford our steaks each month. Please make a video for people specifically who are not metabolically perfect as you. Most of us are sick and trying to heal from one thing or another. This video is fine for a teenager but they eat whatever they want because they can still. We are here because we want to get metabolically healthier so this video left much to be desired for me at least.

Fun fact you don’t need any carbs to get proper insulin signaling. But you do need it to sell a bunch of organ supplements. A large portion of meat will cause the right insulin response via the protein
The fact that he believes a diet with carbs every day is in any way ancestrally appropriate is beyond me. Something else is obviously going on here.
It’s called gluconeogenesis. The body can convert proteins, and fats into needed glucose. This process does not always occur in everyone. There are many people who haven’t been able to trigger this process. Some simply cannot eat enough to do so. It seems nothing is one size fits all, and Paul sells these supplements for individuals who cannot consume important organs meats because of their squeamishness. Many have had incredible benefits from these high nutrient organ supplements. He has stated numerous times that if you can eat organs, then you don’t need his supplements. They also help for traveling. They are a shelf stable, and easy convenience for travelers. Stop being so judgement, and actually try to understand someone’s position.
@odious5317 Anyone can spike their way out of ketosis by eating enough meat in one sitting. Paul clearly did not. However, this still does not mean that carbs are essential for humans. Consuming carbs every day is by no means ancestrally appropriate. We evolved on protein and fats, and ever since adding grains into our diets, we've practically devolved.
@@malikinvictus2647 you’re absolutely correct and I believe Paul knows this too, but he has a business to run and getting people addicted to carbs is a much easier way to broaden his scope to his audience. It’s a shame because I truly believe he will harm himself and others
@@malikinvictus2647 Firstly, there are some people who cannot. That is a fact. Secondly, there is anthropological evidence that shows we ate fruit, and honey consistently as we evolved until migration into areas with winter temperatures, then we ate berries, and what not in the spring, and summer, but went into ketosis in the winter. It became cyclical. Paul went, and stayed with a hunter-gatherer tribe called Hadza who ate only honey, and meat. They are the closest representation of how we ate evolutionarily. Thirdly, I agree, and so does Paul, that consuming carbohydrates from grains, and even potatoes leads to metabolic dysfunction, so I’m unsure if you’re just ignorant of Paul’s position, or you’re intentionally misrepresenting Paul.
There is a tiring portion of the audience that simply complains in their spare time, behind the anonymity of their cell phones and computers. They take their jab and run away. None of those people have channels that feature them explaining their views. I respect a guy who changes his views because he grew, and he grew because he kept searching for answers.
I recently added back in 2 apples, 1 mango, and tbs of raw honey a day and I feel like a turbo has kicked in. I'm 51, workout everyday, and losing weight. My 48 yo wife, also on the diet, looks amazing and was mistaken for being 35 last week.
That’s a recipe for an extreme laxative effect.
so you added those items back in to an existing carnivore diet?
Does it make sense to eat mangoes for people living in Canada or Northern Europe, or most of North America, with cold or mild climate where no mango will ever grow ?
Did you came from total carnivore?
@@captainjaber5610 Nope
When I was strict Keto, I had the best bloodwork panel in my life. When I added some carbs back into my diet, my numbers declined significantly. A1C shot up, HDL dropped, LDL increased, triglycerides increased. Unless you work out 2 hours a day like Paul, carbs will not do you any good.
False. Everyone thrives on carbs. Everyone. You're subbing coffee, grean tea and cortisol spikes for carbs, all of you. Don't even try to deny it.

@@lke4907 Carbs are sugar plain and simple.
A lot of "natural" fruits and vegetables are the result of thousands of years of selective breeding. Just because it came out of the ground doesn't mean it's great to eat.
just a thought... people eating a carnivore diet are feeling better, not because they are eating meat, but because they stopped eating sugar and processed food. Maybe its about what your not doing vs what you are doing.
Not eating something artificial is way more important than eating something healthy
Exactly
Just started eating carbs again. Feel much better. The 10 weeks carnivore was hard and depressing. Now I sleep better, have motivation again, and overall feel good. The sugar did make my pollen allergy way worse though and today I took my first pill of anti histamine.
I am hopeful to get rid of this allergy eventually. If I eat a few more years 100% natural.
I haven't had carbs for over a year and feel wonderful. To each his own. My husband needs some carbs. I don't.
When I cut out carbs and ate a mostly animal protein diet, I developed a hypnic jerk and sleep disturbances.
When I added certain fruits, millet grain and rice, those sleep disturbances disappeared.
when you stick to a pure carnivore diet, the generous protein intake triggers sufficient insulin release, making it quite uncommon to easily slip into a ketogenic state. Surprisingly, you don't necessarily require carbohydrates to prompt insulin production. Notably, individuals like Dr. Shawn Baker have adhered to this diet for many years, and if any detrimental effects were to arise, we would likely have observed some decline in their health over time. It's worth noting that they don't even resort to electrolyte supplementation.
Me neither. I’m 100% carnivore for over 2 years now. No supplements. I’ve never felt better. There is no essential carbohydrate. SALADino is just addicted to carbs so he has to justify them in some way. But sugar is sugar.
Shawn Baker is deficient in numerous vitamins and minerals, such as A, E, folate, K, C, and minerals calcium, magnesium. These could easily be corrected with vitamin supplements. So maybe he supplements. Carnivore dieter Lex Rooker developed prostate cancer. Baker needs to run his diet through one of the online calculators, and show us exactly what his micronutrients are. He hasn't been on his diet long enough to ascertain whether he will have long term problems. What does his blood work show?
@@chrisbr1969 Sugar is definitely not sugar. Enormous difference between sugar from fruit and honey and things like table sugar or high fructose corn syrup

Maybe for you but not for me. Do enough weight lifting and cardio and protein itself isn't enough
On carnivore I never have sleep disturbance. I actually sleep way better without carbs. No farting in the middle of the night being the biggest benefit.
I agree with this after doing raw carnivore for couple years, I noticed that my inflammation when done after eating honeycomb and friuts. This was after what I believe when I became insulin sensitive and my a1c went up. I think that at the beginning of your journey and when you lose fat to get where you need to be its needed but later it's ok to eat fruit and honey but not as a reward or something but I eat it literally because I need sugar too. Still no rice, grains, or potatoes or vegetables

Completely agree!! After being vegetarian then omnivore then vegan then carnivore then keto ....my best is meat and fruit. I reversed my fatty liver disease, diabetes and lost two dress sizes and still losing.

Having obsessed over carbs with keto, I find it's a mental challenge to let myself eat fruit without guilt and remorse. But fruit is definitely something I enjoy, and if I can make meat+fruit+dairy work long term, I'm all for it. Vegetables seem completely optional though. 😊
that study about rice was almost 70 years ago and we know that most of the foods we eat now are nowhere near the same as 70 years ago.
Re the study on rice: I'd say it's separating carbs and fats that avoids activating the Randall cycle. So this is not the whole picture at all. Because most people can't avoid fats or carbs in a mutually exclusive way, the study was short term so they didn't get malnutrition but what about fertility? A woman can get thin and infertile on a restricted diet.
I like that you look at the whole picture. Dr berry is also right that on the short term, no carbs is beneficial. Basically everyone in this space can just stop putting out redundant content. Eat fish, meat, good fats, home-fermented vegetables and milk. Food can be used as medicine. As such, if you have fatty liver , maybe some intermittent strong veg could be beneficial. Let’s not take hours of life out of what’s important. Laugh, live, improve
I was strict keto for 3 months. Lost 25lbs but had two periods in one month and had leg cramps often. I was using electrolytes and taking extra salt too.
Eat more protein and gluconeogenesis will provide all the glucose you need while also preventing electrolyte wastage via the insulin bump that high protein provides.
4 years carnivore basically carb-free and I have no issues whatsoever.
There are so many threats to our safety in this age. What we eat is just another threat. I have to admit that going carnivore was the easiest ever to lose those stubborn pounds that kept me from "lookin good Girl". What attracted me to carnivore was the testimonies of people overcoming auto-immune disease. I love the good eating, but it still won't make me free. Being cut free from every fear is freedom indeed. Jesus the Christ is ultimate freedom. Food won't cancel it. Praise the Lord.
you are delusional
lmao
I really felt inspired and felt like you had good intentions. Why did you have to ruin it ???
Lol Susan
We love you
I started carnivore because of Dr. Paul to feel better and lose weight. I lost 120lbs but I didn't "feel" well. As a matter of fact, I felt worse. Anxiety, depression, fatigue, brain fog, slurred speech, insomnia and more. So... I been added back carbs and eating 3x a day helped me feel normal. I was also skipping breakfast and sometimes lunch, Omad. My body did not like this along with carnivore or keto. Listen to your body!!!
So why are so many stricked carnivores , so healthy?
They're not. Look into their blood tests. Chronically elevated cortisol and lower sex hormones.
Because you don't need carbs.
@malikinvictus2647 yes Paul has a sweet tooth 😋
How many studies of long-term 'strict carnivores' have been done? I suspect not much.

I started the keto journey 2 years ago, eventually went to a keto-vore diet and slowly transitioned to a full carnivore which i have been for longer than 4 months now, I saw amazing benefits and have slimmed down immensely whilst retaining most if not all my muscle mass but recently i found myself hitting a wall... I started to get more and more muscle cramps, i was seemingly having to consume more salts and magnesium supplements and my libido was also starting to get affected... So today i have made the decision to slowly reintroduce honey and fruit I have already eaten 2 bananas and some honey and i already feel as if some stress is starting to leave my body.
Abit soon to claim the benefits but I do relate to what you're saying. I've been on carnivore 11 months and find myself getting muscle cramps quite alot now, especially when I'm in bed. Also noticed my labido has dropped too. I'm taking electrolytes each day and adding plenty of rock salt to my meals, maybe I'm overdoing it I duno.
Think I'll stick it out for the full 12 month then I might try adding some fruit here and there and see how that goes..
Do you eat fruit everyday with every meal, or just once a day or certain days of the week? Have you set to a schedule or just throw it in to your diet whenever you feel like it?
I'm currently doing 2mad and 1meal on a Friday looking to get down to 1mad daily, full carnivore with a little dairy now and again.
Exactly the same issues for me, and wall was around 4 - 4.5 months - eating carbs again and feel really good
The keto/carnivore community is filled with neurotics. I did the strict carnivore for 7 months. Felt great at first, but then came the sleep disturbances, zero libido, low energy, and heart palpitations. I decided to give fruit a try after watching many of your videos throughout my carnivore journey. I felt much better instantly. All the problems I listed went away. Although after depriving my body of carbs for 7 months. I had a very hard time stopping myself from eating fruit even after I was full. My body craved it very strongly for the first week. After that, though, it's no problem for me to eat a few bananas, orange, and an apple a day with no cravings.
Carbs are essential, despite the bri science cult. You cannot thrive without them. Glad you found your way back to what your body needs
I am not opposed to carbs and am recently transitioning to carnivore from keto, however there are people who have been carnivore for years and do not struggle without carbs so it isn't a one-size fits all topic. Carbs perhaps are generally 'essential' but not for everyone. @@madeleinegrayson8372
Still Life all the way. Btw, check out Aajonus Vonderplanitz's work if you haven't.
Adding fruit definitely helped me with heart palpitations I had often on carnivore.
This is the problem of too much long chain fats in your body, switch to unrefined medium chain and it makes all the difference.
I'm a T2 diabetic and Paul still seems to think that taking carbs is good for diabetics. He cites a study done decades ago about feeding people white rice and sugar. I can tell you for me that would be suicidal. My blood sugars spike when I take sugar or rice and if I wanted to have my diabetes raging again I would take his advice. I think if you are insulin sensitive his advice might work for some. For those of us that have T2 diabetes, or at least for me, it doesn't make sense at all.
I put my diabetes into remission 3 months after being diagnosed with diabetes. Now a year into it I'm still controlling it reasonably with an A1C between 5.5-5.7 (It was 13.2 in June of 2022). Anyone else that is T2 that has tried Paul's suggestion (obsession) to eat so much fruit and honey and had good results? Maybe this might work later on as it's only been 14 months for me low carb-animal based diet.
He does not promote white rice and sugar. He specifically speaks against all grains and processed sugar. He promotes carb consumption through fruits because their sugar content is not the same as processed sugar. Come on...even you could have figured that one out.
@@bizwiz1014 Even I could figure it out...?? How condescending of you. He talks about this study and says that eating carbs even in that ridiculous state can help control diabetes. That is absurd. I know he talks about fruit (ad nauseum) but that also delivers large doses of fructose/glucose to our bodies. I think he's running at around 300g of carbs a day. That would be incredibly high for a diabetic. My comments were to talk to other diabetics not those who are still metabolically healthy. Come on, even you could understand that.
Just because you have avoided carbs and dropped your A1c to a reasonable level what makes you think your diabetes has gone away? Im not trying to pour cold water on your parade but the underlying problem for T2 diabetics is the insulin resistance so has your insulin sensitivity improved or you dont know?
@@888jucu I did say that I put my diabetes into remission. I didn't say I cured it. I don't know what my fasting insulin was when I was first diagnosed since my doctor didn't order that test and still to this day only talks about A1C. He's not very helpful. I did go somewhere else and my fasting insulin was at 10.1 µIU/ml which is pretty good. I don't know if I'll ever fully reverse or eliminate diabetes (I doubt it) but if I can keep these numbers I should be grateful. I'm sticking with the change of lifestyle as it is getting great results for me. Maybe in the future I will have to change but I'm happy with where I am now physically. I would NOT have had such a transformation if I would have taken my doctor's advice (or lack thereof).
Doesn't many how many years ago The Rice Diet was used. There are still many people using that program who come off their diabetes medications in very short period. Dr McDougall has helped many do it.

How do you respond to carbohydrates?
Women, especially, need some carbs in their diet.
I went carnivore and lost all my excess weight. Then I tried your diet and gained a lot of weight. I did get lazy with exercise, but the amount of carbs you are advocating does not appear to be feasible for a lot of people. Am I the only one who has gained weight on your diet?
Did you even listen? Why would you add in a bunch of carbs if you're not gonna "use" them and then not expect to gain weight?
@@Fuzzirasorry, i hadn't watched it when I commented. it was a rant. now that i've watched it, i'm pleased to see that he has mentioned different ranges. 100 g is about 4 bananas. still seems high to me. i think i was only eating about 100g when being inactive and a ton of weight came on. i guess everyone needs to experiment with their own bodies and activity levels.

Agree. Although I think carnivore/zero carb or almost zero carb keto is an excellent plan for obese, metabolically unhealthy people. Perhaps ideal. But once you have gotten lean and metabolically healthy, it's better to include some carbs. Especially if an athlete and focused on performance.
Agree
Yep and this is the truth re: all one-note and super restrictive diets. Once you start prioritizing fitness (for me that only came once I'd lost a good amount of weight and wanted to recomp) you realize restrictive diets actually hurt you
Have tried strict carnivore and i just don’t feel as good as when i have some carbs, like you said I can’t sleep on carnivore and I actually get anemic 😮 how does that work?

I was initially against you for flip-flopping between diets, but now I see the wisdom in eating tropical fruits. These don't make me addicted to sugar like other fruits have. I'm not sold on honey yet since it used to trigger my gout although I love it. Even adding fruits has helped me break through a weight-loss wall I hit recently. And tropical fruits allow me to eat non-organic since I don't eat the skin (pineapple, banana, papaya).
I never liked fruit or vegetables. Once in a while I could eat an apple if it wasnt mealy. I have been strict carnivore for 5 months now and have no problem sticking with it due to the wide choices of animals available. My mainstay is ribeye, shrimp, lobster, scallops wrapped in bacon and homemade beef jerky dipped in butter. Grains are out of the question as I am a carbohydrate addict and will only result in me eating junk and putting on fat. I guess I can slowly add some honey to my coffee and see how that goes.
Why do you drink coffee? An addiction to stimulants is a sign that your diet is sub-optimal.
@@Mousehansen While this may be true I also enjoy edible cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms. And I drink tequila straight up maybe once a month even less depending on time of year.

Everyone is different depending Genes, Ancestors, Blood type etc. You need to experiment to find out what works best for you. A food elimination diet such as carnivore in the beginning is a good place to start as it gives your digestion a rest and kills off bacteria overgrowth such as SIBO. After a few weeks or months, you can then start introducing one food at a time and see if you get bloated or suffer any inflammation. And now we are back to a balanced diet of meat, fruit and veg.
"Everyone is different" is the corniest sentence ever. The modern mantra of bonkeritude.
Prior to the Agricultural Revolution, modern humans would have never eaten a significant amount of carbohydrates. A diet where 30% of calories came from carbohydrates would be the upper end of even the most aggressive estimates. Thus modern human physiology and biochemistry evolved in and from this “low” carbohydrate, low glycemic, low insulin environment.
The default diet of modern humans in the wild was a low carbohydrate diet.
If we look at what the world eats now we can see carbohydrates dominate. But perhaps surprisingly there are just four “foods” that contribute to the majority of carbohydrate consumption: wheat, corn, rice, and sugar.
Wheat, corn, rice and grains are thought of as ancient foods, daily staples since the beginning of human existence. But if you put all of human existence (since Homo habilis~3 million years ago) on a 24 hour clock, they didn’t become any significant part of the human diet until 5 minutes ago.
For 23 hours and 55 minutes, humans didn’t eat wheat, corn, rice and grains. Besides requiring agricultural techniques to consume in any meaningful way, they are laced with plant toxins and antinutrients to prevent herbivores (and humans) from eating the plant’s offspring (the seeds).
However, 5 minutes ago we took these plant seeds and made them a significant part of the human diet by artificially breeding and selecting for size and abundance.
Then in the last second, during the Industrial Revolution, we began refining them, thereby further concentrating carbohydrates and their prepackaged toxins.
In this last split-second we altered them even further. We began genetically modifying them. Now about 90% of major crops are GMO.
We’ve engineered new traits into plants that wouldn’t otherwise naturally occur. We’ve engineered higher lectin loads to deter insects. We began spraying them with pesticides, insecticides, and fungicides.
We’ve added preservatives, so we can store and ship these foods around the world.
And all of these changes came with a heavy price:
- We know sugar - and thus carbs - are addicting.
- We know that carbohydrates are a nonessential nutrient.
- It’s clear that simple sugars, fructose, and refined carbohydrates dysregulate our hormones and appetites, lead to overeating and obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes, and are implicit in the most deadly diseases today including heart disease, cancer, and dementia.
What about when you have already too much insulin in your blood, insulin resistant? You keep eating carbs to push your pancreas producing even more? I dont think so
I found that after years of doing LCHF, increasing carbs and calories significantly improved my recovery after workouts and enabled a nagging shoulder injury to finally heal. My lifts have gone up. Didn't notice any adverse affect on body fat. Energy arguably levels are better with more carbs. It's an experiment in progress, but so far so good.
How in the hell are people like Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Ken Berry etc doing so well?
Is it that their livers are producing adequate glucose through gluconeogenesis?
Are damaged livers the real issue or what in the hell is actually going on?

@@alenakarpekina4907
So gluconeogenesis is not adequate for optimal health & I should be consuming a half a cup of sugar a day in fruits to get my necessary carbs?
Instead of dirty keto choose clean keto with unrefined medium chain fat, it makes all the difference.
@@alenakarpekina4907 Genetics determine 90% of your looks.I think you're reading way too much into their looks. You have no proof that they're unhealthy.
I'm unconvinced. My sleep, libido, and all other metrics improved greatly on pure carnivore, anytime I've eaten carbs I feel bloated and heavy, headaches, anxiety, and poor sleep. Insulin resistance is primarily caused by processed foods which is the combination of seed oils and processed sugars, together they cause all the metabolic dysfunctions required for IR.
It's because you're eating too many carbs. Having 100 grams of carbs a day is a healthy balance. He just said this in the video. You were probably binging on carbs like the average American. 50 grams of carbs or less is keto. 50-100 grams of carbs is low carb. 100-100,000 is high carb and where 99% of Americans live in their diet.
@@lke4907 The last example I can think of was eating some fish and chips with my mother at a local shop that makes their own products and has fresh fish. I ordered fish for myself, and there were chips on the table from other orders. At the end there were some chips left over and I ate maybe 100-150 grams of chips because my mum was insisted and I thought what the heck. All the negative symptoms I described to you was what I experienced over the the next day or two. I'm otherwise a nearly entirely carnivore diet - I only include a banana in my egg shake in the morning.
@williambelmont9601 stay away from oils. I eat only butter and olive oil. Fried food makes me feel terrible, too! Carbs I'm talking about would be sweet potatoes and vegetables and fruits. Those are where you get your 100 grams from. Not bread.
The Plains Indians of the 19th century were some of the tallest men in the world, without dairy consumption. The staple food of North American Plains Indians was the bison and they ate virtually the entire carcass. The Plains Indians consumed high amounts of animal food on average (76-85%). A man requiring 3000 daily kilocalories consuming one pound of bison meat (26 % of his daily energy expenditure) would obtain 134 grams of high quality animal protein and 23 mg of zinc, exceeding the DRI for zinc by 8 mg. Eating one and a half pounds of bison meat (40.1 % of daily energy requirements) he would achieve 201 grams of protein, 34 mg of zinc (more than twice the DRI). It seems unlikely that Plains Indians had access to 200 g / d fruit & honey many days a year.
Paleo propaganda. Tribes were all different, many were hunter/gatherers/traders and ate lots of fruits and vegetables. By the way, their life expectancy was nothing to brag about....high 40s.
@@JoeS97756 Fiction. Assertion devoid of even minimal facts. Why bother? Everything in my post is verifiable. You got one part right, they hunted...bison first and foremost. There were twenty million of them on the central plains into the early & middle 19 century. Where do you think those fruits and veggies came from? The non-existent irrigated farms in California that must ship refrigerated produce across America? The non-existent irrigated corn fields of the central U.S? The non-existent fertilized pesticide assisted genetically-modified monocrops of industrial agriculture subsidized by a vast central U.S. government? LOL. You've given this a lot of thought, haven't you. Cheers!
@@beautifulgirl219 I guess you don't know what the gatherer part of hunter gatherer meant? Farming isn't a modern invention. Here it is from Wikipedia if you don't believe me. Plains Indians or Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies are the Native American tribes and First Nation band governments who have historically lived on the Interior Plains (the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies) of North America. While hunting-farming cultures have lived on the Great Plains for centuries prior to European contact, the region is known for the horse cultures that flourished from the 17th century through the late 19th century. Their historic nomadism and armed resistance to domination by the government and military forces of Canada and the United States have made the Plains Indian culture groups an archetype in literature and art for Native Americans everywhere. Then there were the domesticated crops and wild foods. While there were many nomadic tribes that thrived on hunting and gathering, many others became advanced farmers, developing special techniques like irrigation, terracing, and crop rotation to have enough food to survive through winter. Farming in unison with gathering - from simple berry picking to more complicated processes like tapping trees for maple syrup - provided these indigenous people with a variety of healthy sources of food.
Important crops and wild foods included pumpkins, wild rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggs, honey, a variety of nuts, cranberries, strawberries, wild plums, roots, greens, and a huge variety of other fruits and vegetables.
@@JoeS97756 You my friend are misinformed. WILD foods in the central plains have a relatively brief growing season and a much shorter ripeness season of around a month. When the U.S. government finally subdued the Native Americans it was primarily from a single tactic--hunting into non-existence its nearly sole food source--the American Bison. That is fact. They didn't need to search out the negligible supply of wild berries for a brief period, there were no vast fields of pumpkins tended by natives, honey & maple syrup is pure sugar, not a nutrient, & if you believe wild roots and wild plums made up more than an incidental supplement, essentially a garnish, to a diet of animal protein and animal fat, you are flatly uninformed. The .1% of the world's wild edible plants that are consumed are historically consumed during famines and food shortages. The potato wasn't grown in Europe until 1600, in the U.S. it was 1720 when Irish immigrants brought it over. The idea that the plains indians had a long cultural history of widespread, persistent, dietarily essential agriculture, is untrue.
Thank you for this. I started carnivore after ten years of eating dirty keto. I would eat chocolate and peanut butter every day. After I went carnivore, I got really sick from oxalates dumping. Then I just got incrediblyconstipated. I had already decide to eat a small amount of fruit. So this comes along at the right time for me.
Constipation is real folks. Very bad. 😱
I was carnivore. Weight ok but A1c is not going down at all. I added 70 carbs of fruit and honey a day. So it is working to bring my sugars down. Carbs & honey sounds crazy but it works for me. My husband does well on carnivore.
thats because your insulin is high
A1C is used as an indicator of insuline resistance, but many factors cans cause a higher or lower a1c. Anemias, Deficiencies. Menopause. Sleep. Even good health. If your red blood cells live longer then a1c will report back higher as it accumulates over months. More Months due to higher life span of RBC , higher A1c.
A CGM could give you more clarity.

@@SullivanKelly85 drop carbs gets rid of it.
@@simonmcintosh6565 actually quite the opposite. It can chronically raise cortisol which in time makes you more insulin resistant.
@@SullivanKelly85 yep - full keto for too long can chronically raise cortisol. That’s not what anyone is talking about. But the fact remains the Western diet is to high in carbs. When people cut that they improve. Always .
I noticed that when I started eating keto, I would feel like crap unless I hit 80-150 grams of carbs per day. Felt weak below that and just felt sluggish above. Maybe it depends on the person and their activity level...
I'm on Day#4 carnivore, and finding it boring. But with no real health issues, I've decided that basic hunter-gatherer is the way to go, as I have fruit and nuts on my land. It makes sense to eat these in their season from my land (no purchased fruit), eat the pheasants, squirrels and rabbits too, and buy locally produced, mostly organic meats.
Before taking this into consideration it would be advisable to do a HOMA-IR test. You need to check whether you are at, or approaching, insulin resistance
I went back to low carb. Going to be 50 and the struggle is real. I keep it around 50 to 75 grams a day. Only been a few days though. Mental health benefits are noticeable. I also like my exercise for mental health benefits so I need a bit more carbs.
What struggle? I'm 50, feel 20
Women and menopause needs are different and I'm still trying to find the right balance after going carnivore late 2019.
@kjkernSerendipity Yes exactly.
Won't your blood glucose lower, regardless of diet, if you lose weight when starting at obese? Also, they're getting fat when they lose weight. They're body uses the fat they've been holding onto. What was their blood glucose level compared to others or compared to a low carb/carnivore after they lost weight a few years later?
As someone who lost weight. I went from 320 to now 130 (5'3), I tried three methods. I started with Keto. It was extremely easy. I got down to 200 in a year. Then I dropped another 20lbs in the next few months after that. I got blood work done and it was far better than when I was at 320 as you can imagine. Everything. At 185, I stayed there for a bit by deciding to take a break and eat "healthy" with carbs. I found myself getting depressed again, and when I decided to lose weight again, I didn't go keto and it was extremely hard. I couldn't get back on track. I then decided to go on an extremely low calorie diet to shed as much as I could in a 3 month time.
In those 3 months I ate what I wanted but limited my calories to 700-1200. I did eat rice, sweet potatoes, chicken etc. I did lose the weight because it's low calorie. I got to 165 in 3 months. I felt awful. I got my blood work done and all was good. But I had a skin infection arise that I never had. I was extremely depressed, anxious, tired. I mean all the symptoms that come with being malnourished, but my lab work was still "good". I went off of it and decided to try carnivore. I still lost weight, but far more quickly. I finished the last 20lbs in just 2 months and another 10 over the next 2 months. I was feeling great. My lab work is far better than at any point. Even my blood work is amazing.
I got pregnant in Oct-Nov and listened to doctors and added "healthy" carbs back in. I added berries all organic as I could, tomatoes, avocados, and peppers were the only vegetables. Then I added some grains like rice. I added these slowly. I ended up having a miscarriage. I don't think it was due to anything I ate but I will say, I gained 10lbs extremely quickly and I really wasn't eating that much. When I was taking it slowly, I saw no real difference in mood or weight with berries, tomatoes, avocados, peppers. I only saw a difference when I added rice and pasta. My blood work was fine.
3 weeks later, I had my blood work taken multiple times and during this the less grains I ate, even though my blood work was fine throughout, it got better. I'm in the process of losing those 10lbs I gained during the pregnancy/miscarriage. I can't eat any carbs including fruit without gaining weight. Milk I can have a glass in the morning but any mid day or night, I gain weight the next day. Even if all I change is the one glass of milk at differing times.
I'm having my blood work again next week and I know it will be better than at any point because I've stuck with carnivore. I will say that I don't think fruit or honey or dairy if you can handle it is bad. I've seen no difference on blood work or mood. I don't even see a difference in weight as long as I'm not trying to lose weight. For example if I'm 130, eating high fat, add fruit, honey, or milk, I stay at 130. However, any other carbs and I'm doomed. I plan to add fruit and honey back in once I get to my goal weight.
My point is I don't think the answer is so obvious and I don't know if that study is the full picture. Also want to point out that I quit smoking as well around the 185 range, and recently before my pregnancy quit coffee (that made a world of difference as well). Then I took up drinking coffee again after the miscarriage, but then quit again and I haven't had a cup since. That improved my sleep more than anything.
Paul saladino is the reason why my life changed. Meat fruit and honey is a game changer. I only eat once a day and im very satiated. If im truly starving i will eat plain greek yogurt with organic honey which also fixes my sweet tooth.
Same here. I was doing carnivore to lose weight which I did but I started struggling to lose any more weight then I found Paul Saladino and added fruits and honey and the weight fell off quick
After years of keto & low carb, Ive started to cycle in some sprouted brown rice...much more grounded & balanced....❤ Everyone is different, fine tune your diet for you!
This sounds reasonable. I had carb anxiety. No longer. 😱
Everyone credits you for helping them introduce meat and organs into their diet and the amazing benefits that come from it. Which is great. However I honestly feel what you have done for carbs and fruit is even more important. Most people eat meat already but most people have become afraid of carbs and fruit. Especially fruit which clearly has so many benefits and we have eaten throughout all of human history. I was one of those people who was afraid of fruit i've barely touched fruit or carbs for almost a decade. Believing there weren't low GI and that fruit and carbs 'fed' candida and parasites. Eating Quinao three times a day for my carb source and having ongoing gut issues and dysbiosis. Thanks to you I have completely removed quinao and now eat lots of fruit and honey and my blood sugars have improved, my digestion has improved and I my microbiome is improving. There are so many myths in the health industry. I think fruit is like the eggs of 20 years ago. We will come to understand that fruit sugar is very different to refined sugar over the coming years. Thank you for getting the importance of fruit out to the world 🙏

With adequate carbs, all of that stops, all the usual menopause woes. I won't do HRT or take drugs to cope so I had to experiment with diet and lifestyle to manage this drastic change. Even workouts have had to change, a lot.
We can produce our own carbs and insulin as we need it, especially when we are properly hydrated 😝
Thank you for an honest updates on healthy diet! I really like your books!
You don't need to eat carbs. Your liver will make ketones which serve as fuel by breaking down fat in the absence of carbs when your body doesn't have enough sugar to run on. FYI, adding more salt to your diet will eliminate the cramps you'll experience when eating a carnivore diet. I make my own salt capsules and take two once a day. It has eliminated the cramping.
if you are lean and u were jabbed as a kid added carbs work better none of us natural human beings we are all injured and altered only few people can get away with near 0 carb and not be death door lean, also everytime you eat a big meal your ketones lower so ur not gonna be in the mythical "deep ketosis" 24/7 insulin is normal stop watching dr berg videos
your body will make carbs from protein (excess) anyway, it needs to. But you don't need to eat carbs, that's true
I think its funny how people think since they eat carnivore without any carbs and are totally fine then everyone else should be fine too. Small minds
Hi Paul, loved this podcast clip! I recently added more fruit to my diet, and feel great. I'm an audio engineer, and noticed that your audio was doubled when you shared your screen. You can configure your streaming software to mute your audio feed to the screen share video channel.
The body can store up to 150g of carbs in the form of glycogen in the liver alone not including what gets stored in muscle tissue. We use up most of our stored glycogen from the liver in one night of sleep. It would make sense to me to at the very least replenish that the following day if you arent active. Obviously the body can convert protein to glucose but you likely wouldnt able to convert enough to replenish what your body uses on a daily basis especially if youre active. Its no wonder lack of carbohydrate could cause sleep disturbances. Unless youre in ketosis every cell in the body is using carbohydrate whether youre actively consuming carbs or not. The brain especially requires alot of carbohydrate.
I like Paul a lot but am not sold on everything he says. You have to remember that he's very active, lifts weights and is extremely physically fit. He's does not have a "normal" family with 3 kids/commuting to work every day/family dinners weeknights/running to kid's activities etc. type of life. I'm mostly carnivorous (eggs, beef, fish, chicken, venison), eat some small pieces of fruit and a half of sweet potato (with farm fresh real butter!!), and perhaps some arugula with olive oil and parmigiano reggiano and fermented veggies on a daily basis. I do cheat every now and have something sweet or organic egg noodles with cream sauce, but that is the exception, not the rule. I'm 50 this year and feeling wonderful. Blood pressure is consistently in the 117/75 range and resting heartbeat is 55. I think we just need to remember to limit/eliminate most sugar from your diet and to exercise (walking 30 minutes a day), reduce seed oils. Don't beat yourself up if you have a small sliver of cake or cookie from time to time and try to fast every so often if you can. Of course, if you are more active, you likely can indulge in more fruit and honey.
I had all those issues as well. Been on and off keto and carnivore over the past 15 years. It's weird but the longer I stay in ketosis the worse I feel, even with all the knowledge i've gained it seems keto does me worse now than ever. Zero carb carnivore nowadays causes electrolyte imbalances within a week, if I do 50 grams a day on keto it'll take a month, at around 100 grams of carbs a day I feel much better. The problem is that my skin is worse with the carbs...always a catch 22 with diet. My eyes are also really dry on zero carb, although my inflammation is non existent. The amount of electrolytes I was supplementing was absurd, I remember when i initially did keto in 2008 with no real online community to get info from and I did fantastic with 0 electrolyte supps. So I tried 0 supps again and that didn't work nowadays, keto/low carb can be tricky, i gotta accept that doesn't work as well as it used to for me...which sucks because my skin is so much better in ketosis.
So I have the same issue as you. So years of trial and error, the carbs that work for me, funny enough, is white rice. Idk if because I’m Asian, but it works for me. So my best diet for me is, fish, meat, chicken with just white rice. No issue what so ever. We’re all different, we need to find out which works best for us. There is no cure all diet.
Also, my skin was the best on a carnivore diet. It was so clear and glowing, but carnivore for a long time messes up with my electrolytes.
were you getting electrolyte tests? if not , how do you know you had electrolyte imbalances ? also were you eating a lot of organ meats ? that will cause electrolyte imbalances
@@upyours1256 cramps! My muscles would just moved a lot.
@@upyours1256 yes organ meats. Everybody is different bro. If your good on a pure carnivore diet, then good for you. Not me. I was on carnivore for 2 years and I train 5 days a week.
I’ve been on a zero carb diet going on five months now. I’m 50 years old and have never felt better. Blood glucose is back to normal. Arthritis inflammation gone. Sleeping better. More energy. The list goes on. I can assure you that your videos will not be in my recommendations anymore. 👍

Paul, some people literally cannot eat carbs, I think I might be one of them, everytime I go higher carbs, my joint inflammation flares up, and my acne comes back, I’ll stick with low carb
What are you eating exactly that is carbs and causing inflammation flare ups
@@RinaValentina it's mostly rice, paratha, noodles and bread. I'm asian
@@shun2240 does the paratha & bread have seed oils in them? Also if the noodles have wheat make sure you get organic because of the glyphosate, same with soy sauce, switch to tamari
@@RinaValentina well I don't make it myself, so I don't know the ingredients, but carnivore is easy to implement, don't need to buy that many different spices and ingredients
@@shun2240 Yeah, but you know in the future if you take breaks off carnivore it’s best to avoid seed oils in ingredients so always read the labels on stuff… canola oil, soybean oil etc are highly inflammatory and they sneak it in everything 🙃
Wow...this is amazing...i agree and have found the same...i have found osteoarthritic lumps have not become worse with carb consumption
What are humans designed to eat? Here are 2 hints:
1st hint: For several decades now healthcare has told us to cut down on fats, especially saturated fats, avoid red meat, eat a diet consisting of whole grains and starches, and lots of fruits and vegetables.
Since we have followed these recommendations obesity, diabetes and a host of other diseases and chronic illness have exploded.
2nd hint: Our brains exploded. I’ll explain.
2.5 million years ago and earlier hominid fossils show that our cranial cavities remain fairly constant in size. But 2.5 million years ago our brains begain to explode in size. Growing to 4 times their ancestors size. So what happened 2.5 million years ago?
About 2.5 million years ago the world cooled down and the series of ice ages began which lasted until roughly 10k years ago. So for 2.5M years even places close the equator would have had a climate similar to that of Greenland today.
With long cold winters and short cool summers, there would have been very few plant foods for much of the year. It was inevitable that animals like reindeer, bears, rhino, mammoths had to become our prominent food source.
Ice Age animals tended to be fat, and their fat provided both insulation against the cold and energy reserves. It was this fat that humans ate that built our brains.
Animal fat is a source of ready-made long-chain fatty acids, including 20 and 22 carbon chain fatty acids like AA, DTA, EPA, DHA essential for brain development and found only in animal foods.
The longest chain in vegetable oils - linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) are 18 carbon fatty acids. Humans, just like all mammals can chain elongate and desaturate these to produce the longer chain fatty acids but we’re very inefficient at it.
By eating meat, we fed the brain with preformed 20 and 22 carbon fatty acids. We no longer had to endogenously synthesize these fats from the 18 carbon plant fatty acids. Our brain growth could never have happened without these fats.
Now for the scary part of the story.
10k years ago we invented agriculture at the end of the last ice age. We traded our high-energy, fat-rich foods of animal origin for grains which became our staple food.
In the last 10k years, which is basically overnight in terms of our evolutionary history, our brain has shrunk well over 10%.
I’ll let you decide what you think we are designed to eat.
Sometimes the evidence isn’t right in front of our eyes - but right behind them.
Not all humans lived in the cold areas during the ice age.
For the long term, it’s best to eat everything in moderation, plus lots of vegetables. And not much processed food.
Thank you Paul for your hard work and research and trailblazing. I am done with carnivore legalists. Hail Fruit and honey!
Bought his book yesterday, guess I’m returning it to Barnes and Nobles today.
It’s the combination of fat and sugar while eating which causes metabolic disorders.
As long as you’re not over eating and eating only 2-3 times per day it’s fine
There are 2 ways to lower insulin low carb or low energy, if somebody thinks that eating only rice and fruits and under 1000 kcals a day, for which Kempner was beating up his patients to continue the diet go ahead. Main problem of Paul is he becomes overly dogmatic for which diet he follows at a specific point in time, before it was meat and organs (he couldnt handle even dairy due to his eczema breakout). Now it is all about fruits honey dairy as primary (lets be honest he eats more sugar/fruit/honey then meat).
The cherry picking science is also great, I guess the science and clinical trials showing that keto is putting into remission or at least improving diabetes, epilepsy, schizophrenia, bipolar etc does not matter I guess and we can just disregard it. If Paul was so open-minded as he says he is, he would not bash something that is helping and has helped a ton of people, that does not mean that everybody should follow it but you should be open to the possibility that it is helping many people. It is no wonder that he is not debating or at least inviting someone who is doing low carb/keto/carnivore long term and/or knowledgable people such as Anthony Chaffee (20 years), Robert Sikes (7 years) and many others I could mention. But dont worry Paul, evidence will continue to come out in favor of the ketogenic diet, many trials on their way especially on bipolar and depression.
I tried this 100 grams carbs from fruit and gained 39 pounds in three months. Knocked off the fruit and I have lost 37 pounds in seven months.
You have to burn thru the carbs by working out hard
Can’t speak for your situation. People metabolisms are destroyed these days and we dont know how much that plays a factor or not. Groups of the wild humans that we’ve been able to make contact with seem to eat fruit and honey and don’t gain weight and are terrific athletes. I dont know of any purely meat eating people currently or historically. Doesn’t mean they didn’t exist. But it would seem carbs found a way in our diet most of our existence, so we can’t discredit them.
Do more surfing. Be Paul.
Hey Paul Saladino, I’ve just started following you after following many other carnivore influencers- the ones who don’t eat fruit or honey. I will be visiting friends and family in a week and I’m really thankful that my diet won’t be as strict. I’ve been eating a fresh fruit salad and some potatoes. It’s sure nice to have these extra things in the diet. I hope they don’t disagree with me. I bought honey but I haven’t used it yet. I want to get away from Stevia or monk fruit in my coffee, so that’s where I’ll use the honey. But it looks like you actually eat it on a spoon. Very interesting.
You will do fine and it will work better. I'm doing the same now and no longer carb adverse. 😱
@@jeffj318 I like it: no longer carb adverse. I’m happy.
It all depends, I like Paul throws unconventional ideas here and there. What he is promoting now is just cleaner version of Paleo (minus vegs unless you tolerate them very well). I find his advices really helpful based on my own personal experience. I felt best on no veg, keto/lc BUT with rice and banana after workout. I couldn't find back then anyone doing it, but it was working for me. If there is no season for fruits where I am, I wouldn't eat it. But now living in tropical climate, and without fruits I was constantly dehydrated. Coconut is literally life saver.
People who avoid debates with PS may have various reasons but be aware of ALL of them including PS, they are looking for some hype and click-profits. Fasting was fency, now everyone makes devil out of it. Fasting IS good, beneficial and simple, also... FREE. Is fasting for 7days and doing rough strenght training like PA was smart? answer yourself.
Here is an interesting experience when I consume very low carbohydrate (rice) like when in keto diet: I rarely get morning wood!
So based on my personal experience, I typically experience morning wood every day. However, I’ve noticed that drastically reducing my carbohydrate intake, rice in my case, seems to have an effect on my libido.
I'm from South East Asia, I eat rice every day, probably two full plates a day.
Saladino will come full circle and embrace his true heritage soon enough. Salad. I'm guessing he will jump on the beet green, garlic, and olive oil train. He will be warmly greeted by Thomas DeLauer and many colabs will follow.
That's funny!
What’s wrong with olive oil
@@DigitalWaqf Olive oil contains a lot of oxalates. Listen to Sally Norton, is great knowlegde!
You really need to debate with Dr. Paul Mason, he's got an opposing view on this and is very knowledgeable in this field.
I read carnivore code couple years ago. Paul seems to have shifted his views since then. Is there an updated book?
The basic idea is to eat in a way that optimizes for digestion and nutrient density while also minimizing any antinutrients. This turns out to be, meat, organs, fruit, and honey.
I can't believe it I bought the
Carnivore code last week
and today he is on five channels
saying he is saying eat fruit honey carbs
Can you tell me what is going on please.
@@lindapestridge3073 its called experience and evolving. It might be frustrating to you but its actually a good sign. Nobody gets it exactly right, EVER, its always a process of adjustment and refinement.
Bart kay gave a good review of this video. For those that want to look at this from another perspective.
Look up Danny Roddy and Georgi Dinkov ---> Cortisol and inflammation are the main issues in diabetes.
