- In this extended, respectful discussion, Dr Paul Saladino & Dr Ken Berry discuss the Carnivore Diet and whether fruit & honey fit into a carnivore diet. Dr Saladino & I agree that meat/eggs should make up the majority of a Proper Human Diet, but we disagree on a few of the details...

I just went to the ER for an infection. They did blood work on me. I am a still little heavy still so the doctor was shocked at how good my blood work and blood pressure was. I told her I eat 10 grams of carbs a day and all of those from live fermented veg, and all other calories from meat and mostly fat. The look on her face was priceless.
Lol. This is great. 😊
😍
Western doctors are so clueless on nutrition it's scary. They are only trained to prescribe drugs. When I went to a doctor for psoriasis years ago the "specialist" had no idea that too much sugar in your diet causes inflammation. She was quick to prescribe a cream though.
you won't have an infection if you're not eating carbs
@@ebuka212 Both wrong and stupid.
Thank you for being the only carnivore doctor to actually talk with Saladino. It’s very important that we work together in this community and explore each and every idea, whether good or not, so we can truly know what that ideal diet is for us.
the people that don't discuss ideas that go counter to theirs, should not be trusted. Thank you for this. We must always be open to new ideas.
I learned a lot. Dr. Berry was good at debating in a positive way.
Saladino is ghosting prof Bart Kay. He might just be ghosting other people aswell.
@@allolp Interesting, you think Saladino might be ghosting them? I always got the impression he welcomed debate and outside ideas.
@@forrestbirnbaum434 I know for sure he is ghosting Bart at least because Bart has invited a debate publicly many times in his critique videos on Saladino and they used to talk, at least one show together when Paul was carnivore. So I speculate he might be ghosting others.
Bart is unique in that he is a professor and has studied physiology for 25+ years hes done a lot of science, written stuff for textbook that med students would use and thought physiology to med students. Ken Berry reached out to Bart to ask him to look into the science to see if a1b test are actually sensitive to fructose as Saladino claims (they have low sensitivity it turns out) because Berry doesn't have the training to understand scientific papers. Bart mentioned this in his critique video on Saladino called "Paul Saladino Makes A FOOL of Himself !!!". However much i like Berry I think Saladino saw him as low hanging fruit you could say. He is strategic. Just look at his affiliation with liver King and then pretending to be shocked when its revealed he's taking steroids and then ditching him behind. It's about the bag.

18:31: 🥦 The video discusses the failure of traditional diets based on the premise of eating less and moving more, and highlights the success of the keto and carnivore diets in activating satiety hormones and promoting weight loss.
27:35: 🥑 Avoid consuming plant seed oils for health optimization and longevity.
37:11: 🥦 The speaker discusses the potential health effects of consuming a high fructose diet and the benefits of a paleo diet.
1:22:30: 🍯 The speaker discusses a study on the metabolic effects of consuming honey, sucrose, and high fructose corn syrup.
46:18: 🤔 The speaker is in awe of the complexity of the human species but also frustrated by people who neglect their health.

Recap by Tammy AI
Any plant is an immediate toxin for ME. Joints inflame something awful.
Thank you!
Thanks for posting...... Saved me plenty of precious time.
Thanks buddy
Thanks for the breakdown!!
This is the most respectful “battle” I’ve every witnessed, but I guess that’s to be expected when your brain isn’t inflamed and full of seed oils
Always was told, "Eat your vegetables". Never wanted them. Always craved meat. Especially beef.
I like both but prefer meat, eggs and cheese over plants.
And why dont the parents ever eat THEIR veggies?
There it is.
@@Magneticlaw That's it, my friend. My parents always told me this same thing. "Eat your vegetables". Alright, where is yours? 😂
I almost never crave meat, but I eat it because I need to.
I'm a 61yo female who has maintained 99.5% carnivore diet (no honey or fruit) for 3 1/2 years. My most recent blood work revealed fasting insulin level of 2.0 uIU/mL, HbA1C of 4.8%, LDL of 278 mg/dL, Triglycerides of 45 mg/dL, and HDL of 88 mg/dL. Of course, my doctors are very concerned about my elevated LDL. I'm not worried about it at all!
Yup. Good job, fantastic.
So many people cave in to the LDL fearmongering. Good that you know not to worry. Your numbers look great.
Yes, triglycerides and HDL great numbers! 👍
Ya, if there's no glucose in the blood to interact with the LDL then there's no problem with it, at least that's what I've learned thus far.
Grats!, The only doctors now i trust are Ken Berry, Paul Mason and Anthony chaffee, all the doctors i saw in my life were leading me to a premature death.
I love doctor Berry, he never closes his mind, always learning and adjusting. Brilliant man
Maybe Paul could make a point if he could get a word in edgewise. Every time he tries to reply he gets talked over
@@leslierendflash I noticed that, too. Poor Paul couldn't get HIS TURN to make his (very VALID) points!
Exactly. Berry preaches the same generic keto information as everyone else. 400 pound man becomes a 300 man on fat bombs and whipping cream, but Saladino’s tribe strives
He has already closed his mind and thinks that plant-based diets are a mythology @2:00
@D B Plus, Paul is in a very unique situation. 2-3 hours of surfing burns a massive amount of calories. Dr. Berry is approaching this from non-athlete type people and their diets. So, in a country with active people or just with active people in general, you can get away with a lot more carbs, and as an athlete, Paul needs those carbs more than a non athlete.
7 years carnivore, and the very first thing I cut out was the fruit, and immediately I started to feel better. Sugar was next and then veg. At each stage I felt better. I just did it slowly and methodically until the only thing I was left eating was meat and fat. At the start I had 20 ailments, some very debilitating. 3 were lifelong progressive according to the specialist at the hospital. All of them are now resolved and my blood pressure is optimal, and I am on zero meds at the age of 65. I accidentally became carnivore and am in the best health of my life. We have been lied to all our lives folks.
I'm in my sixties, as well. I did it a little differently. I didn't want to go through strong carb withdrawals (I'm a lifelong carb junkie), so I used oranges and apples to get me through the first month, gradually weaning off them. I am extremely mad about how we were lied to about food. 😡
Saladino wants to enjoy life, so he lies to himself about fruit and honey. On the other hand because he's active and still relatively young, he can get away with it.
@@Perceptions-2.0 I think you are right.
@@Perceptions-2.0he did objectively worse on pure carnivore. Look at his blood results and his self report of how he was feeling. You think that’s him “lying to himself”
@@constantthought6082 he looked way healthier on carnivore. His sugar diet has aged him rapidly
Im a 60 year old nurse, I work 4-10 hour workday. I started this carnivore journey almost a week ago. I have noticed a loss of cravings, I can walk past breads, donuts, cookies brownies and not want it and that is a big change for me. I have a weightloss of 3.5 lbs, not hungry like I use to be. I don't have GERD in the morning and don't need a Pepcid anymore. Bowel movements are every other day instead of daily and not as much. No more uncomfortable bloated feeling in abdomen.
I hope i can maintain it. I think it is good for me. One thing is good for me is I love animal fat. I always felt guilty loving the beef fat on a steak.
Appreciate our nurses!🌸
I'm 63 morbidly obese female, now 3 weeks in carnivore. You're right about cravings. I've read HUNDREDS of comments on Berry's videos about this and innumerable, unbelievable life changes. I ALWAYS stop at fast food and/or the bakery on my way home. Last 2 times I was there, I passed rt by. Just no desire. Surprised myself!
Sounds like you love food too much
I'll be 49 soon and premenopausal. I relate with your comment tremendously. From the cravings to the bm and other things that have gotten better on carnivore. 😊
@@khrystalkhoury62 remember ppl fall off carnivore when they don't take enough fat. When you start out on carnivore, you have enough fat for your body to burn thro. When your body has burned thro this fat, you must take in enough fat otherwise you fall off. You're replacing carbs with fat, not protein - that's the idea. If you eat 8 eggs fried in an excessive amount of tallow everyday, and dousing your meats in excessive amounts of butter; if you're eating butter, drinking ghee everyday; you'll do well on carnivore. It's a fat diet, not a meat diet

I’m a Ketovore like your wife. My last Lipid panel was low Triglycerides, high LDL and High normal HDL. My doc was left scratching his head. Then the fasting insulin was low and A1C was perfect. Actually he said that my entire Metabolic panel was perfect and if he didn’t know better he would think that he was looking at the labs of a 30 yr old marathon runner! Lol I’m 63. This is actually very easy and can be fun!
I love testimonies like this. Congratulations!
Ralph Kassing, can I ask, what is your daily meal routine? I fast daily until noonish, drink Alot of ginger water, but I'm going to start the carnivore journey this coming week. Any suggestions?
Lol my dr put me on statins and blood pressure meds. I keep trying to convince him he’s wrong. He won’t take time to listen or look at the research I send him. He barely looks up from his lap top
@@bobtosi9346 hopefully your low carb and quite the meds☮️
@@bobtosi9346 find a new doctor.
One thing not mentioned in this video is mitochondria health. Paul's habit of being in water and sun and also barefoot for several hours everyday is incredibly beneficial for the mitochondria. Compare that to your average human spending most of their day in shoes (no grounding) and under artificial lighting all day. I think this is another factor in the whole discussion.
Go back to 49:02 .
@@TheTylerGeissler just because he says the word mitochondria does not mean they discussed the things she mentioned, lol.
yep yep
Yes. This discussion shouldn’t be about food, it should actually be about adopting an “ancestral lifestyle”. We aren’t just adapted for certain foods, we are adapted for a particular set of life ways. Things like outdoors, barefoot, 12,000-16,000 steps per day, and surrounded by a community that functions like a “tribe”. The closer we can get to that the healthier we will be. Food is an important part of it, but only part.
@@brawndothethirstmutilator9848 Agreed
We live in Ecuador 30 miles from the Equator and follow a high meat, egg, cheee and fruit diet all from our farm. I am 60 have never been healthier
My opinion is fruit and honey are fine in moderation because they are processed through the system much faster than refined and synthetic sweeteners. Honey is very good for the body and don't forget animals love them too.
@@tyty0071THANK YOU for sharing that! I have had to add fruit back into my diet and some raw honey.
How much fruits do you eat a day?
@trendycauzy3099 the key isn't how much but rather consider it's digestion rate. Fruit goes through the system very quickly, so it's best to eat it in between your main meals or consider it for lunch and then eat your usual dinner. Fruit stuck in the gut will ferment which is not good for gas but also from a toxin perspective. KEEP YOUR COLON CLEAN and you will live a happy healthy life.
@@tyty0071 I keep my gut clean with a liter of Raw milk kéfir per day!
I have done this diet both ways. Both ways have been good. Both ways have a negative. However, the absolute biggest problem with eating the fruit and honey is the “no hunger” aspect of carnivore is gone which could lead down a destructive path. I love the no hunger carnivore.
yes I agree, once I started to add some fruit and such back into my diet I had the feeling of wanting to snack on food all day. compared to carnivore where I never had that feeling
Totally agree.
Yes!
@@garrettohyeah7365 Some of us are skinny and need to gain weight. We need to stop talking about carbs and snacking like they are bad.
@@haroldgarling1063 ok
Just had a thought occur to me. When I was a kid, our neighbors had a horse that they were discussing. They said it had "foundered". Meaning that it just kept eating, past the point of being physically full. Intestines were blocked and they eventually had to put the animal down. This animal was fed oats, and corn based feed. It was probably never "satisfied" because horses are meant to graze on grasses for the most part. They normally do not eat the high carb, sugar laced diet that they are fed in captivity. When I was a carb addict, I sometimes would eat until I could not hold anymore, but was always unsatisfied. Since going "Ketovore", I am rarely hungry. I also don't stress eat anymore, because I am rarely depressed and full of anxiety, even in anxiety prone situations.
Yup. We had a miniature pony that broke into a sack of oats and nearly died. Blew up like a balloon. Founder. Yup
A colleague of mine spoke about a deer that had gotten sick and died of starvation whilst it only ate deer corn. I am not surprised about the horse. Corn just isn’t food. The same thing affects cats and dogs which are primarily built to eat meats. Most pet foods have a base of corn or brown rice. Nowadays dogs are diabetic.
You ever watched a horse eat sugar cubes
I often think about that because my mom always feeds her horses oats and in my head I’m thinking why? That’s not natural
100% ... this diet is satisfying.
Carnivore is helping me successfully manage Prediabetes and PCOS consequences. My blood glucose is around 100 down from 117. Weight 225 down from 269 since midAugust 2022. Carnivore works for me.
I am 16 months into the Carnivore Lifestyle and my Type 2 is improving each and everyday and the only bad thing is all my clothes are now to big for me. At the start of this Carnivore Diet I was 375# and now I am 260#, this is the only Diet out of the others that has ever worked.

Find me a person for whom it doesn't work!
I took of 40 lbs easily with keto. But I fatten now extremely quick, without gluttony. I proved it. And the fat I put back on is lumpy and full of fluid, and I was developing heart failure. This is new for me. My inflamation multiplied horribly. My body began to swell, and my legs became almost dead weights. This occured when I went back to limited carbohydrates for 6 mths. I am broken. Don't do as I did. It is much harder this time to deal with my metabolic syndrome and severe insulin resistance, to the point of weight loss.
I committed to carnivore for the first time. Prayers are appreciated.
It's not the carbs, it's the excess weight. Otherwise you wouldn't have vegans reversing their diabetes. Fat over-spills from the liver into the pancreas leading to insulin resistance and diabetes. You can read Roy Taylor's conclusions about it. He's been researching it since the 80s.
@@spamuraisensei322 Wrong on every level in my case.
Good luck
What works for you doesn’t work for everyone. And please don’t tell us a small amount of carbohydrates created insulin resistance..BULLSHIT!
@@melindalemmon2149No that is NOT wrong. It’s called Glyconeogenesis.
I'm convinced I am a carb addict, Keto and IF has helped me lose 18kg and improve quality of life but if I cheat once, I. Can't stop. I will spiral. It's black and white - I need to step up to carnivore but I spent 15 years of vegetarianism. Been eating meat for 4 months now and I feel great but my conscience is not happy about it, thanks Dr B for all you do 🇬🇧
Carnivore works better for me...started with keto worked well for me lost about 25lbs..was a slippery slope sometimes tho..keto treats etc.. Carnivore has been a game changer. Im a carb addiction so abstaining from carbs works better personally
Eventually you'll be completely eaten by other creatures. You are actually being eaten by many creatures this very moment. Just not enough to kill you. Its the nature of life. Don't be guilty.
Congratulations. Your conscience should be clear! Humans were designed to eat animals.
🤣🤣you are a carb Addict...dont think.
@Hos, I feel you about your conscience. I was vegan for near 10 years , for health and moral reasons. When I realized that my health was suffering on that diet, I tried eating steak, it's was game changer on the physical and psychological level, but I had hard time to accept eating meat. You are an animal too, who need to eat what is good for you, it's not for pleasure. Please let go that guilt , you are only an animal living his life on this earth.
I’m thankful that Dr. Berry stood on the Proper Human Diet! We need that!!
Heavy fruit for 10 years while “eating healthy”! I added Manuka honey every day for allergies (I was told it was good for allergies). Then came the blood test with high ALT and AST, which was from a fatty liver and high insulin. Keto healed my liver in a few months and now 1.5 years latter I’m carnivore and thriving.
Thanks for the wisdom doctor berry!
Also allergies are gone now also👍
HUZZAH!
So you started eating enough protein and fat ? Did you lack those on the fruit including diet?
When I started Keto in 2017, the first thing than changed, was the healing of my chronic sinusitis! The second thing I noticed, was the disappearing of allergies, then I reversed pre diabetes... I am now carnivore. I occasionaly can eat an orange or a hand full of berries, that's all! Milk and sugar are huge triggers for carb cravings. The addicition is real. It is not worth it to trigger those addiction symptom.
@@jaysbakes37 yea grains and seed oils contributed, but fructose is what gets the liver the worst
@@jaysbakes37 I used to eat nothing but fruit and meat and then stopped eating plants and dropped 60 lbs. Fruit is sugar as delicious as it is.
I stayed strict carnivore for 4 months, and was doing better than I was on keto, but the brain fog and lack of energy/low mood made it hard to function. I had to add honey and fruit back in. My body was begging me. Doing much better now. Everyone has to find their own way of making this work for them. My keratosis pilaris on my legs is clearing up and I feel so much stronger!!
You guys are my two favourite carnivore docs by the way 🥰🥰
Absolutely agree with you. Fruits and honey are amazing ❤
@@amazingautumn12 all that beautiful fructose gives us a spark of life 💫💫
If you felt weak you did Something wrong. Simple sugars like honey are poison
Saladino is not a carnivore
@@Isaac5123 it's not about labels, it's about finding what works for your individual body. Both me and my boyfriend feel monumentally better having fruit and honey in our diet, but that's not going to apply to everyone.
What a pleasure to hear two of my health gurus hashing out thoughts in a respectful and truth-seeking way. This is one of the huge benefits of our current technology and times.
Meat butter 4eggs daily
260 lbs down to 215 My waist is finally 35 inches my height of 6'. No meds. My fair lady has had similar results. It is all from listening and learning from you both definitely can't argue with all the great testimonials.
Definitely need more doctors like you.Thanks

Not even sure why it has anything to do with weight... I could never gain weight eating carbs.. I do eat mostly beef and eggs but I cannot live without pizza or lasagna
Congrats and thank you, given me the motivation to follow this way if eating. I'm 230lbs and wanna get to 170
@@otallono I feel like I need fewer calories and lose weight less easily after having stopped eating refined sugar. But it could be coincidental, and I don’t weigh much.
Many years ago when I gave up smoking, I put on an unwanted fifteen pounds. Without consulting anyone, I cut out sugar and starch and the weight came off with ease, and without undue hunger stress. Now I know that was a low carb diet! Instinctively I knew what would work, and I can’t understand why it’s taking mainstream medicine to realise. Thank goodness for doctors like Ken Berry 🙏
I appreciate that these two minds got together to have a respectful discussion on their different views and beliefs. These kinds of talks are crucial to share information and shed light on different ideas. I think Dr. Berry makes the most impactful comment when he says, “We are all just fumbling around in the dark.” I appreciate both points of view, they both have very good arguments. More importantly, I very much appreciate that these men and many more are using their expertise to keep fighting for the truth through all the lies we have literally been fed for decades. These talks have been invaluable to my own journey and I am grateful for it.
I failed my first attempt at carnivore because I was stopping before full satiation. When I started eating to the point of being stuffed, the weight began coming off and my energy level rose significantly.
Makes sense. The more you eat the faster the wight will come off
That helps. I just realized that I'm not eating enough meat when I eat it.
Your body stopped being in starvation mode
I myself have to give up cheese, Im not able to lose weight eating that. So I switched to pork rinds and hard boiled eggs if I get hungry after my OMAD
Oh that's what I'm doing wrong then, I need to eat until I'm stuffed. I wasn't and kept getting cravings and give in to them!
I've tried both strict Carnivore and Dr. Saladino's diet. I'm better and thriving on Paul Saladino's version of "Carnivore/animal based. I'm less hungry, have more energy, Especially when I work out, I perform way better with fruits on my diet. I can fast longer. It works so much better on me.
fascinating, for so many it's the opposite. Different genes I suppose
@@enzogonzales608I think a lot of it is psychological with people on pure carnivore. It’s such a strong community and the dogma is so profound
@@fireeye33 Me too. I train in Brazilian jiu jitsu and Muay Thai fights. Carnivore alone wasn’t enough for me. I needed to add in fruit, honey, and raw cheeses. I think it depends on your lifestyle. If you’re a slug and don’t get out and exercise, then you probably do not need the extra fruit and honey added into your diet.
@@EastCoastPGS I don't do liver, and raw dairy (almost no dairy), minimum eggs mainly bc of Vit A toxicity. Look up Nutrition with Judy talk about Vit A toxicity. i only do mainly steak & chicken. Liver caused me hair loss & vision blurry.
@@fireeye33 I do eggs, beef, chicken, turkey, raw cheese, raw milk, fruit and honey. But like I said I am extremely active with weightlifting and fighting 6 days a week. So I need different nutrients than the average joe.
Dr. Saladino, you are a very healthy and extremely active man. Good for you! For folks like me extremely insulin resistant and, who gain weight by just looking at food, I listen to Dr. Berry. However, there are folks who get away with eating carbs. I know I am not one of them. Thank you both for doing what you are doing!
Exactly. The world is not black and white. I see comments bashing Saladino because he eats fruit. That is ridiculous. We need to be non polarized. Meaning we need to allow and remove some nuances related to our own needs.. i am carnivore, transformed my health. Now I also introduce some fruit at specific times of day and my health is as amazing on pure beef and fat..
@@KAiROS_717 same, I can eat carbs fine and don't get cravings.
I severely limit them, so I am actually in ketosis near 100 percent of the time. Not everyone can or should.
Diets should be individual and apply general guidelines and principles
Watermelon eaten on its own isn't going to make anyone fat.
yeap, i am the opposite of you, i'm 6'2 and i will easily drop to bellow 155lb without carbs, so if i need them in the diet i just use fruits and honey(only fruits with the least ammout of fiber that i can find), with pure carnivore my mental focus is still amazing, i'm very calm, no anxiety, my dermatitis was goone in two weeks, joint pain in the left wrist and both knees also gone,but i feel i little weak sometimes and it get's harder to sleep overtime, but for people with issues losing weight a pure carnivore should work best for sure
@@KAiROS_717 Well that's a really dumb opinion. Why let fact defying statements stand? Why give misinformation room to breath?
I added some fruit and honey back in a couple months ago and it wrecked me. I became obsessed with my next meal, trying to justify adding something sweet to everything I ate. Total disaster. It took my body about 6 weeks to recover…. Not doing that again.
Wow so what do you eat to give you energy
@@Det1911 When you’re fat adapted, you eat fat for energy. If I need a turbo boost, I drink coffee.
@@Det1911Red Meat.
Same!! I stupidly drank chocolate milk 😣
Red meat isn't glucose and the liver has to convert protein to glucose if there isn't enough from your diet
Two very intelligent Doctors agreeing to disagree at times on a very professional level. Enjoyable!
One is a practicing Dr. The other has never practiced medicine.
A great example of how people can share differing ideas while be respectful.
The issue is Paul isn't fat and has never been fat. His theory works for a skinny person surfing 3 hrs a day. He's not getting the fact that we as a nation are already damaged and obese so we need systems and ideas that are applicable to the needs of those people. Once we're all skinny then sure we can strut around with our shirts off earing honey and some fruit. Dr Berry is trying to help where the help is needed.
Agree with you one hundred percent!
Same here! 👍🏻
I am and have tried his diet, I lost 20 pounds
100% this. You're doing no favors saying eat fruit everyday to the overweight, pre-diabetic, insulin sensitive population of the US which btw those categories combined are almost everyone. Fruit is a beneficial treat for the healthy and active, detrimental to the not.
Agreed there. Doesn't mean his wrong, just means you have to tweak his ideas to suit your body type and exercise levels.
I tried Pauls life style for four months. I ate fruit and honey everyday.i even bought four months worth of his liver and tallow tables. I was all in. I never lost any weight. I felt good but no weight loss. Several years ago i lost 50 pounds doing very low carb. 20 or less a day. Ive gone back to that and in two and a half months ive loss 25 pounds. So, for me super low carbs work best of me.
cuz your workouts were weak as shit.
For majority of us! If you don't surf for 3 hours a day, forget about 🙌.
Im not a moderator at all- after a bit of fruit i will be ended up with bag of chocolate of 1kg of Ice cream.
So- for some of us- is no way option.
I love when great minds have conversations, and respectfully disagree. The truth is, there is NO one "diet" that fits all...so it's okay for there to be many different eating protocols available to everyone so that each individual can find what works best for them individually. We need to stop trying to be "right" or the "superior diet"...just find what works for your health and support others who are caring for their health, even if it looks different from your own journey.
Yes. I often tune Dr Berry out for awhile because he can get pretty culty sounding sometimes, which encourages me when I need that, but makes my life feel awful and boring to the gifts of food culture. I pace myself as to rules of engagement….. having once been lauded for my cooking and given many fundraisers for political entities….. food, to me, often is a beautiful thing…a gift. But that’s modern day culture and not the life saving meal making of my ancestors. So although I seldom leave my strict regimen, and that’s usually veggie pig outs, NEVER sugars. And carbs at 10-15 max daily and that seems to appease the chef inside me for months.
I’m so happy Berry is here because I know he’s sincere and educated and subliminally cares about the likes of me ♥️
" two acorns and half a rats tail " ! I just love Dr Berry ❤️
I'm with you Doc Berry. Fruit makes me fat. I removed it from my diet 15 years ago. People thought I was crazy not to eat fruit. Thought I was even crazier when I said I gain weight on it. Nice to know that I wasn't crazy all these years. Oh, and back then I ran approximately 25-30 miles/week, weight trained 5 days a week and taught a weight training class at my local YMCA 2 day a week. Yep, some of us just get chubby a lot faster than others.
You nailed it with SOME. People are NOT the same. Some folks might thrive on all meat and it might kill others.
How were you putting on weight eating fruit when you did all that exercise?
@@sherrylivering4149 I guess it depends how much fruit you eat.
@@olddouchebag that's called starving
Yes. yes yes. I just did a podcast with Shawn Baker. I am a elite track athlete training every day. I added fruit into my carnivore diet last year and in a year ive gained 6 pounds, sleeping poorly, headaches, energy low. I had no idea what was causing this. I decided two weeks ago to take fruit out and I feel 100% better!!! At least I now know... I tried the fruit thing. Doesn't work for me. I feel 100% better without it.
I'm watching both of your videos as fast as I can implementing everything I can as I learn the Carnivore way of TRULY LIVING. I have hope for healing after years of illnesses and more "diagnosis" than I can remember.
Thank you both for contributing to saving my life, truly.
But I wanted to be snarky and remind us that the "medical community " DID quite recently restrict our breathing on a National level, while simultaneously destroying mental and physical health worldwide. So my friends out there, listen to any doctor bucking the system with honestly and a true desire to heal our fellow man. I salute you gentlemen!!!❤
I am on a carnivore diet for last one year now and i have lost around 55 pounds. I did not feel so good in the beginning but I introduced some honey in my bullet tea and also some small portion of fruit and i feel much better and I have not seen any spike in my weight or anything. Most of my diet is Mutton and eggs and butter and cheeses and sometimes chicken thighs. Along with that I also eat some olives and I feel just good. Not all bodies are same and I am 50 years of age
Thanks for this info. How long did you do strict carnivore before you added the honey and fruit? Also, do you have a rough daily carb intake that you have found that works best for you?
Good point.... Although right now I'm choosing to be all carnivore, The occasional fruit is not going to do any harm, and could be beneficial
I will try for one month then have my blood tested....CURIOUS
I've done the same on a vegetarian diet .
Carnivore helped clear my skin. After a while my stomach felt gross. Adding fruit made me feel so much better
This is my favorite conversation on the topic. I can’t wait for the science to catch-up. As someone with a much higher activity level I found myself craving fruit months into just eating meat. When I added small amounts of fruit and honey, I felt that I really benefited with performance and recovery. Thank you both for really pushing the envelope!
Maybe it ages you faster, zo
I imagine you do multiple fruits per day or is it more like a banana a day, an apple another day, maybe some berries or berries throughout?
Or were you actually eating enough to not care about ketisis at all?
I’m coming to this conclusion regarding my own overall health since discovering Dr. Berry and starting carnivore. When I reintroduced berries to my diet in moderate amounts, I felt much better overall (sleep, mood, satiety) but then I don’t struggle with overweight. I have added raw coconut, berries, and mango into my diet and they seem to work for me. Haven’t gotten into honey, though I am not opposed to considering it
It wasn't fruit you craved, it was sugar.
Me too. I quit craving chocolate and dairy sweets but really want just a bit of fruit after dinner. Usually just a 1/4 cup blueberries or I add 1/4 tsp fig preserve to my butter bites (1-2 per day) I have no digestive issues and my insulin is good.
Thanks so much for this video! During my last quarterly doctor visit a few weeks ago, I was down 45lbs (below 200 for the first time in more than 20 years). My a1c came down from 10.7 to 7.2, without the 4 shots of insulin that I had been taking for several years. But my doctor still tried to push Ozempic on me. I was so disgusted by this that I have tried to find a new doctor, so far unsuccessful. Anyway, I still have work to do with my a1c, but I am going to continue doing keto-vore, exercise and IF. I have learned so much from your informative videos!
Great job. Keep it up. Bet you have more energy too.
Keep it up.
I know how you feel about your doctor pushing a drug after you shown to be a patient who has improved their metabolism with diet and lifestyle. It seems that doctors are not really seeing us and our not on our partner in health.
Hope you find a supportive doctor. Great job!
Surfing every day removes Paul from any possible comparisons to the average human
also he conveniently leaves out that he was carnivore diet for many years until recently
@@GuitarsAndSynthsmost people who him know about this
@@Magneticlaw 33:00 Dr. Paul Saladino is very muscular - perhaps in the top 1% of Americans? also an athlete surfing everyday. If you are also very athletic and/or muscle building, you will mostly likely burn off extra carbs that many carnivores will turn into fat. Was Dr. Paul Saladino 30+ lbs overweight as many carnivores were? Just assuming - perhaps a third of people have a natural good metabolism and don't need to manage their weight, a third will gain weight on carbs and a third are in the middle. But unhealthy food can create problems for all people.
35:00 Dr. Berry answers that Dr. Saladino was not overweight.
@@GuitarsAndSynths ?? That's pretty well documented. He's literally known for and wrote a book about eating carnivore before he decided to add fruit and honey.
I absolutely love Ken Berry...He is my "go to" guy for nutrition and diet info. But I wish he would give Paul a chance to talk too ! I would like to hear a bit more of his perspective on eating fruit, honey, etc. This is my first introduction to Paul. They are both so inspiring to listen to. Thank you, Gentlemen !! Awesome show !
Its also a bit weird that he refers to Paul in third person.
It’s nice to see two adults can have an intelligent, respectful conversation. Thank you
Paul being a lot more respectful than Ken.
No matter how stupid it may be...
@@JaysonT1 Well you're here.
@@JaysonT1 wow you really added to the conversation with that one lol
Intelligent? Lol. Dude he brainwashed you.
The book "The Big Fat Surprise" literally is about how all those studies were muddied. Just finished Paul's book "carnivore code" and found it to be a great starting point. Eliminate everything first, give body time to heal/adjust then add back what fits your body. I am currently in my 3rd week of 100% carnivore and waiting on the book "lies my dr. Told me." I am feeling absolutely fabulous. My workouts and energy have exploded. The scale is slowly moving in the right direction. Sadly i didn't get numbers on fasting insulin and c-peptide but numbers i do have clearly show metabolic syndrome. I eat nothing but beef, butter, tallow and water. I've got blood work coming in 5 months and I intend on being armed with information to get my dr. Out from under his rock. Love watching both your channels. ✌ ☮
I like your taste in books. Another one I would thoroughly recommend is Eat Rich, Live Long, by Ivor Cummins. As well as meal plans and recipes, the 3rd part of the book is a very deep dive into the science of how our bodies work and why seed oils, sugar and refined grains are so bad for us. Sounds like it would be something you would be interested in.
I read Lies My Doctor Told Me a few years a ago, and at the time I had no idea Ken Berry was the author. Also, just in case you haven't come across it, there is a brilliant CZcams channel called Low Carb Down Under, which has a lot of presentations around health and diet.
Best of luck (or should that be skill?) with your bloodwork.
you'll be disappointed in 'Lies', it's nothing new. No new information. Fluff.
where do you get your tallow?
@@The_Conspiracy_Analyst I buy minced fat from a local butcher, and then render it myself in my crockpot.
@@PrinzessKennY I haven't been doing carnivore for long but when I tried to get straight into it a few years back, I was the exact same. I've had a serious carb addiction for so long and it was almost impossible for me to go through that withdrawal. What I've done differently this time which has definitely helped is cut right back on the carbs for a bit first so that I'm not going from eating loads to none at all and it hasn't been nearly as much of a shock to the system. Then when I've gone carnivore I started by still having like a small portion of green veg each day, cooked in animal fat of course, and having milk and cheese which still provides you with some sugar. I hope to cut out the milk and cheese at some point too but I'm not ready yet lol Hopefully that will help :)
I think Dr. Saladino quickly uses those carbohydrates with his intense workouts surfing. For many of us, we just don't need anywhere near that amount of carbs and probably would encourage us to continue eating the sweet stuff. That really is the point. Dr. Berry is correct imo. A spoonful of honey a day would definitely take me on a slippery slope backwards.
I have to say on the fruit part of this, I work in the Amazon rainforest quite a bit, and have spent time with indigenous communities who live completely off the forest, and have done for thousands of years. They clear small lots of land and burn it then plant seeds they collect from around the forest ( they are called chagras) as far as I am aware they have no knowledge of selective breeding/grafting. Most fruit found in the Amazon isn’t sweet, however there are some exceptions. Amazonian pineapples are very sweet, another fruit called copoazu has a very sweet flesh. Neither of these fruits were modified or selectively bred.
I think you are both right to a certain extent, most Jungle fruits lack sweetness and have high acid content.
Acai 1g sugar , camu camu 2g sugar, agraz ( Andean berry ) 1 gram sugar
Also honey consumed by most of our ancestors in the jungle was from melipona ( stingless bees ) they produce only a very small amount of honey, like 2-3 lbs per colony per year ( this honey has many anti-inflammatory properties. The honey bee which has been imported produce 40-60lbs of honey each year and the honey isn’t as beneficial.
Yes I think the tropical forest regions are an exception in terms of sweet wild fruits.
Good arguments
Thank you for sharing. Well explained and educational. Appreciate it!
Yep. My girlfriend is Samoan. This is their diet pre settlers: fish, shellfish, pork, coconut, green bananas and root vegetables. Nothing is sweet in the way we know it now. The shellfish is eaten raw, but everything else is cooked.
However, imported food is now making them fat though.
Dam ken is extremely clued up in this field, he makes logical points against all arguments
I didn't say confident, I said clued up. I also said he makes logical points ... Read it again and move on
@The Complaining Channel I also said he made logical points, given my reason why I said he's clued up, nothing to do with confidence ... Just move on you made a bad point.
Dr Saladino is relatively young and has always been fit and never overfat (by my understanding). What his body will tolerate and still remain healthy has nothing to do with what another individual will need to do in order to regain health.
Yes as you get older you can’t tolerate carbs as well, but as a kid most love to indulge in carbs
@@Shagley You can't just say carbs without mentioning the inflammatory oils they are usually loaded with, it's like giving a car the perfect gasoline but you never change the oil, eventually it'll slow down and the gasoline won't be an effective fuel anymore because everything is clogged. That's not the gasoline's fault, you should've changed your oil in time lol.
Young healthy and fit people can tolerate bad diet for decades. When you are old and have had damage you can not fool around eating carbs and fructose. Once you restore health you have to protect it.
Agree. What we can get away with when young is different from when we get older. For sure.
@@lr1732 and the younger we are when our health begins to suffer, we can tolerate even less later on.
This was an amazing conversation. Beautiful demonstration of how to have healthy conversations and disagree without drama!
In Southern Africa, wild fruits are available all year round.
But they all have different seasons in the year where they are available.
Summer fruits are found in trees, and winter fruits are found on shrubs and vines.
As kids, we were taught never to pick fruits at wrong seasons as they may be poisonous and never to eat leaves of any plant.
Goat meat and fermented cow dairy were our main staples.
Green leaves were only used as topical medicine for wounds.
Wild Sorghum was used to make alcohol, but women and kids were not to consume it, due to the fact we were to be fully alert at all time for survival.
Eggs were a no-no for females who were at a child-bearing age.
Many people lived to be over 120 years, and that was considered normal.
I have now gone back to the real human dies "Carnivore," and I feel great😊.
I do not touch any sweet tasting things as I am a sugar and carb addict.
But my husband and kids are thriving on a mainly carnivour diet, and they eat fruits too as they still need some carbs for treats.
Processed sugars and carbs are the main killers.
Thank you for this conversation, and we look forward to seeing more educational content with great guest speakers to lead us back to reality.
Very interesting. Why didn't it matter if the men weren't alert from drinking alcohol? Why no eggs for fertile women?
need is a strong word. They don't need, they want.
Would love to know why no eggs too? I’m trying to heal my infertility after 7 losses and I’ve always eaten a fair amount of eggs.
why were eggs a no-no? that's odd.. a lot of cultures specifically save eggs (and fish eggs) for pregnant and nursing women (then again, a lot also made special beer and wine for pregnant women as well)
@@eulalia3446 right? seems like the men would be the ones you wanted to be the MOST alert
Great to hear both Saladino and Berry share thoughts in the carnivore world. We live for ourselves and are free to try anything that may work for us. No dogma!
Thank you guys for making this respectful debate public. Really great to hear multiple perspectives of the issue of nutrition.
Dr. Berry, you are a very intelligent man. You have taught me a huge amount of information on my current diet. My only SUGGESTION is, when you have someone on to learn their journey, you give them the courtesy to finish what they are saying before you explain your spin on the conversation. I found it hard to intake the information Paul was trying to present, with those interruptions. ❤️
To be fair, this is a cross post where Paul was interviewing Dr. Berry, not the other way around.
I got the impression that this interview was CarnivoreaMD' gig.
I think it was Paul's podcast therefore he was the one asking the questions. Dr. Berry therefore expounded longer.
Ok I got it wrong.
Loved this discussion. I am new to carnivore but I did not give up my honey to do it. I use it minimally. I consider honey God's perfect food. John the Baptist lived on Locust and Wild Honey.... that sounds like honey is a natural partner for the carnivore diet. :-) The honey has not hindered any of the fantastic things I have been experiencing since I started this diet. Including a slow and steady weight loss, joint pain gone, brain and body feeling great, and the bloated, uncomfortable feelings gone. I think further down the road I will try some fruit. I will probably go very slowly and try to allow at least 3-5 hours before having my meat. I like the possibilities of this diet but I need to do the carnivore part first. Love all your good information and discussions. 🙂
YES Dr Ken!!!! I fatten easily. I am a 57 year old woman. Menopause and an endomorph and have metabolic syndrome there is no way I could eat all that fruit and honey everyday. Unfortunately!!!
I really wish I could. My body just wants more of it and the more I eat that then spirals into me eating sweeter carbs or breads etc.
So Dr Ken you are my doctor for sure on this! ❤
And Dr Paul doesn’t realise just how high intensity 2-3 hours of surfing 🏄♀️ is a day. Dr Paul needs to accept that his diet is right for his body and cannot recommend it to the broader modern human being! This is where the issue is for how I see his theory.
I also would say cortisol increases insulin too so if there is an insulin spike with cortisol and I eat fruit that just feeds the insulin more. So we fumble in the dark because of various complexities 🙏🤝❤️
I do love Dr Paul Saladino’s passion and no doubt has done tonnes of research too. However, the research he does supports what works for him in my humble opinion. Thanks again doctors 🥰🙌🙏
Dr Paul I live in Victoria Australia! Close to Antartica lol 😆 so we cannot base the tropical theory here 😅
Famously cold Australia.
@@ralf-5 it gets hot too but I’m in Melbourne so yes it’s colder longer during the year than it does during the hotter months.
My doctor tried to put me on Wegovy and the other one and I decided that that was not how I wanted to live... so I went straight carnivore for 3 months.. I dropped 58 lb all my numbers are great!! and I am so glad I didn't fall into... this drug will make you lose weight trap...
You guys are preaching to the choir, I love listening to you! You both make so many valuable points, in spite of your minor differences. At the end of the day, you both want everyone to be healthy and happy.😊 I will happily share this video!👏👏👏
I love and appreciate your content and contributions to educating those of us trying to understand a PHD. I'm a Newbie to the lifestyle so hearing constructive, informed dialogue is critical to understanding this radical change. It's necessary to hear BOTH sides in order to become comfortable with the radical shift in lifestyle and more importantly achieving a successful outcome. With that being said, it was difficult to get through these two hours with the number of times you spoke over and interrupted Paul. Again, I've invested a great amount of time absorbing the wealth of knowledge that you so graciously and willingly provide to those of us seeking better health. My apologies if this comes off as negative feedback only because that's truly not my intent. Again, thank you for all that you do! Blessings to you and your family good sir!
Agreed 100%.
I was quite disappointed in Ken with his inncessant interruptions and at times, damn rude of him doing this to Paul. Other than that, it was interesting, albeit difficult and annoying, trying to grasp and appreciate Paul's input of perspectives/opinions.
Dr Berry, you're so kind and congenial. I've noticed this before and often. I enjoyed this video when it first aired with Dr Saladino. BTW, most people cannot surf everyday for 3 hours nor hang out at the equator. Too many carbs seem to make you want more carbs. Grain is especially horrible. I'm so appreciative you two did this discussion. My electrolyte imbalance was mostly cured within two weeks of carnivore and completely cured within a month. About two years in, I started your recommended daily minerals. I'm still dealing with BP but am getting there, 3 yrs carnivore come Jan '23. I have to eat more like you, Dr Berry, or I experience symptoms. I didn't do this for weight but do notice immediate symptoms of gas and weight if I have too many carbs. Love you guys!
Yep. I think Saladino's diet may work for someone super active like him. It may also work for some pro athletes or high school or college students who play competitive sports or are very active. For those of us who sit most of the day, maybe hit the gym a couple of times a week and just try to walk a little....all that fruit isn't a good idea. Plus fruit just triggers me. I like it, but it never satisfies my sweet tooth...it takes unhealthy desserts (including too much of the keto kind) to do that.
@mas-udal-hassan9277 He's never said that. And he eats a bit of seasonal fruit in the summer and occasionally vegetables. His wife eats more plants than he does and is more keto than carnivore I believe.
Really interesting and informative conversation. You guys are super respectful of one another. Ken leans into open mindedness and we all learn from it.
Unfortunately, honey and fruit heavy diets are not real world for everyone but no one diet is a fit for all, period.
I do think location and culture is very important when considering one’s optimal diet. Time, genetics, and financial means play a part as well throughout our lives. Whether you reside close to the equator, a farmer’s market, or run of the mill grocery store, we all need to examine our own bodies and consider many factors when landing the right diet/lifestyle to live the best life possible.
I am 51, have lived with Crohns Disease and Ulcerative Colitis since I was 25.
I stopped drinking at 47 and when I turned 50, I started a clean Keto diet. It changed my life in amazing ways. I am now venturing into a more Ketovore diet as the fiber I was consuming in some veggies was causing some bloating. So far, it’s been a change for the better.
I wish that my doctors and dietitians had given me the right information 25 years ago.
Our country is and has been drowning in a sea of bad information and what I would call medical malpractice for far too long.
Amen to people like these ballsy doctors for speaking out and challenging big food, big pharma, and willfully ignorant doctors.
One thing that drives me crazy about Ken Barry Is he doesn’t let other people talk. Paul is so good at allowing others to talk and make their point while just sitting back and listening, even when it’s to his own detriment
A common issue amongst interviewers. Thinking of Bill Mayer for example.
It could be the lag associated with doing video calls. I often find that happens alot, even with cellular calls too.
@joemecca1982 I’ve wondered that as well. Definitely a good point.
I've seen Paul totally dominate in interviews, literally talking right over the guest to the point of being rude. Then on top of that he talks a million miles an hour. Plus, Paul highly recommends not to eat bacon. Dr. Berry will tell you it's ok to eat bacon every day and to save the bacon grease to cook other foods with especially eggs. I do whatever Dr. Berry recommends.
@@Flybynight_2112 link to said video? Paul>Berry
I think the taste nature of our addictive SAD diet has made it impossible for some of us to ever go back to adding some honey or fruit back into our diets. We just can't seem to wire out of it. As of writing this I am baking cookies and pies for Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house and I have zero desire to eat them. But I also have been fat snacking all day to make sure I can handle being around the treats.
Stay strong!
I can empathize with you. I make many dishes that I will never eat, like pastas, and it doesn’t bother me at all. I will buy a donut for my son, who is skinny as a twig and healthy, and then just eat some bacon. Even today, my kid leans towards a ketovore type of diet. He knows it is healthy, but he finds it more delicious.
I’m eating all I want tomorrow. Straight back to carnivore the next day. When I was keto my “cheat day” turned into days sometimes weeks. After my monthly cheat day now, I can’t wait to get back to OMAD and meat. Easiest diet I’ve ever experienced.
Absolutely- I’m a carb addict. Just like I was addicted to nicotine over 30 years ago, I cannot have carbs or nicotine ever again. Thankfully I no longer crave either. The only negative to carnivore for me is leg cramps during the night - every night. I’ve tried so many different electrolytes (waiting on an order from LMNT to try that). Tried to increase salt but am just not a great lover of it so I have to force it. Take ACV in capsule form as I just can drink it no matter how much diluted or flavoured. Any other ideas? I’ve watched so many videos on it. So I think I’ve had only one night of interrupted sleep in the last 7 months! Takes me back to baby night feeding times! Only I wake up in pain and don’t get a cuddle from a cute baby!
@@jdxx59 try magnesium
The fruit and honey pushed my blood glucose higher and caused cravings.
I don't know why this discussion has to focus on 100 grams So many other low carb nutritionists suggest trying a GARNISH sized serving a couple times week, not Saladino's sized servings- whole mangoes and papayas every day. Don't be afraid of 12 raspberries as a side with your beef liver once a week. and a teaspoon of honey in your dandelion tea on a special occasion. Also, star fruit is okay for keto- once a month, if you can find it. The dose makes the poison.
It doesn’t work when you’re an office slave
You're probably metabolically unhealthy
If you’re not metabolically flexible this will happen. Your glucose will go a bit higher. After 3 days of consuming fruit and honey it’ll level out. Especially if you’ve been in prolong ketosis.
You are likely already metabolically unwell. Fructose is harmful regardless. Read a book. That said, fruit typically does not raise glucose much at all. You have other issues going on I am afraid.
Dr. Barry and Dr. Saladino are advancing public knowledge on the proper human diet and unanswered nutrition questions better than anyone, ever. Carry on Dr.s
Thank you so much Dr Berry and Dr Saladino, I really appreciate both of your perspectives and I think you are wonderful for asking these questions and providing your insights and all this data. It’s invaluable ❤
I did clean, strict KETO for about 9 months and it helped me with carb carvings and inflammation for sure. (I did it for "fibromyalgia" and long term Lymes). I was extremely fataigued and I am normally a super high energy outdoor athlete. I just was not getting enough healthy fats or calories and felt deprived most of the time. Switched to a higher fat carnivore about two months ago. I am sleeping and feel so much better with restored energy. As a woman, for the first time in my life I felt I had permission to EAT FOOD. I cannot explain how liberating it was to go completely carnovire! Thank you for this video!!!!
Yup. As you say. Good on you ☺️
I am a fibromyalgia patient that plague me for 4-5 years now even breathe less and loose joints , started carnivore for 2 weeks with beef / meat eggs , trying to minimise and outdoor food with seed oils and coffee , can u share with me what exactly u eating ?
@@glitchwolfiegamer7616 Keep doing what you're doing now, you will def see improvements. Just ditch the seed oils as well.
@@Lamz.. are you still drinking coffee ?
@@glitchwolfiegamer7616 I'm not a fib patient, so yes I do drink 2 small cups of decaf a day. In your case I would try to avoid it until you're symptom free. Then you can add things you miss the most, (one by one) and see how your body reacts to it. But you're certainly on the right track, my friend.
I like to call what Paul Saladino does the Bear Diet because it incorporates meat, fruit and honey. I think if it works for him that's great. I sometimes add fruit to my diet for regularity
😂 that’s appropriate
That's actually really spot on of an analogy!
Bear necessities
Does the opposite for me.
Did you come up with that?
That’s a good name for it!
Excellent podcast with two great physicians. Each has great points with full carnivore or omnivore (meat and fruit). It really depends on the individual. I have done full keto, with vegetables. I have done full carnivore. I have not done omnivore with only meat and fruit and I would like to try it. After a year of keto, I had similar symptoms to Saladino. I then did full carnivore for 60 days and not much changed. When I added back carbs, the symptoms resolved. I am doing pure carnivore again to resolve some issues, and once I feel those issues are gone, I want to try adding in fruit and see what happens. Each method of eating is like medicine, and you have to find the right medicine for you.
I'm convinced there isn't a perfect way to eat for Everyone. Your going to have to fend for yourself and find your way.
I'm doing carnivore, but every now and then, I will have some non starchy veg and a handful of berries. I believe that our ancestors would have done similar when times were hard for meat and fish!
Which one is the unstarchy veg ?
@@karine8738 Leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts etc. The main veg to avoid is potato.
@@jenny395791 Thank you!
@@jenny395791 Why avoid starch?
@@AB-dz7lo Starch gets turned into glucose in the body which raises blood sugar.
I have worked so hard this past year to bring my blood sugar down and improve my metabolic health that I would not want to spoil my progress by consuming carbs, even honey/fruit, which are supposedly 'natural'. I went off the carnivore diet a couple of times for birthdays and the like and boy, did I pay for it. My GERD came back with a vengeance as well as my arthritic pain and stiffness. What has really helped as well has been upping my good fats such as butter, tallow and bacon grease. Thanks for the conversation, guys.
@Ivan Jaros Yep, very true :)
Yeah absolutely true. It's better to consume more animal fat than adding carbs.
Carnivore is a keto diet. Low carb( if not zero ) moderate protéines and high fat.
And have a very good hydration with electrolytes. No need to take more carbs.
For me I feel much better and sleep better by eating more fat and a bit less protein and near zero carb. At least 3L of liquid with a equilibrate amount of sodium, magnesium and potassium.
That's it 🙂👍
@@beniiito That sounds perfect! Actually I sometimes forget potassium until I get cramps in my feet and then I think to myself "Must remember to take my electrolytes!" I feel the same as you about more fat and a bit less protein and near zero carb - works best for me too, I've found. All the best to you! :)
... especially honey and fruit...
I am 53 years old and have a lung disease called aveolar hemorrhaging, and possibly bronchitis obliterans organized pneumonia which was diagnosed 5 or 6 years ago. The steroids they had me on had such major side effects that I felt like I was just waiting to die. One ER dr told me I was going to die the next time I got pneumonia. I could barely get out of bed, and I had to go on disability after working as a registered pharmacist for 20 years........Then I woke up.........I went off the meds (against my dr's advice) and went on a STRICT carnivore diet and actually used Dr Berry's electrolyte drink they recommended to prevent the "keto flu", and I also joined a couple of beef groups to keep me updated on any new information coming up regarding eating a carnivore diet. I even kept a diary for the first six months to follow my progress. Well, my dr went from telling me "I was crazy to eat like this", to a year later, telling me to just continue with whatever I was doing. I am off my lung meds, off my oxygen, and am still here and now even work 20 hours a week at a gas station by my house. I won't do pharmacy because I have some TBI from low oxygen (it would be in the low 60's when I was in the ICU), and I won't put any patient at risk because I know my memory is not good at all anymore and I would be nervous I would make a mistake. Carnivore SAVED my life!!! I had gained 120 pounds in one year from the 240mg's of prednisone they had me taking daily. I was also diagnosed with type 2 doabetes and was actually even insulin dependent for a couple of years. The steroids also caused EXTREME anxiety, EXTREME depression , and EXTREME insomnia. I have two or three years that are just a blur because of the steroids and low oxygen, and even though I knew a lot of these symptoms were caused by the meditation my lung specialist had me on, ut qas a horrible existence for me. It hurt to lay down, and it hurt to get up. I spent a lot of time crying and also found out that when you suddenly get sick, you learn who your real friends and family are. I lost most of my weight I gained (70 pounds) just by going off the prednisone, and I lost the last 50 pounds in four months when I switched to carnivore, eating as much and as often as I wanted to. I eat until I am full, and usually I am only hungry once a day. Once a month I also fast for 48 hours to get my body in "autophagy" mode. I am back to my normal weight that I was at when I first hot sick, I am off insulin, and my last two A1C's were in the normal range. I tell everyone about carnivore because the benefits for me have been AMAZING!!! And it is funny that I work at a gas station because the only thing I can eat at the store is our hard boiled eggs. I rarely sweat at all anymore, and most issues I am dealing with now are actually just side effects still from the EXTREMLY high dose of prednisone. I have bone issues now and the prednisone ruined my eyesight too. I went from perfect eyesight to needing 4.50 reading glasses. (I am actually supposed to wear bifocals, but after tripping and falling, I just went back to the reading glasses.) Sorry I am rambling, but if my daughter wouldn't have talked me into trying this diet, I know I would have already passed away. I don't even tell most people I was diagnosed as "terminal", I fired my pulmonologist, I quit seeing any specialists for my lungs and I just stick with my primary dr who now is supportive of the way I eat. I went from being in the hospital at least monthly, to not being in the hospital for my lungs for at least a year now. I am not completely healthy now, but COMPARED to how I was on all of those medications before, I am so much better and I am so grateful that I am able to work my 20 hours a week now. I appreciate feeling good, because I know what it is like to feel horrible all of the time. The only medication I HAVE to take now is warfarin 10mg (a blood thinner) because the alveolar hemorrhaging has led to nine pulmonary embolisms and I only mention this because I HAVE NOT had one more since I went carnivore.............I follow Dr Berry, Jordan Peterson and his daughter, and I listen to lots of talks regarding carniore. I have considered writing a book about carnivore saving my life, but I am concerned my memory issues may interfere with my efforts. Though, now that I think about it, my kids (two are grown), they would probably help. And also, I did that diary on my change in diet, so I guess I already have started. Lol!!! I have learned soooooo many AMAZING things about carnivore, and am amazed how many people this has helped. We need to get the word out about carnivore!!! Thank you both for doing this CZcams video!!! I went to college and pharmacy school for a total of seven years (graduated in 1995), and am very disappointed we were just taught the "pyramid diet", and that was it. (Now I think that is sad.) Great video!!! NOTE: my first day eating carnivore was August 20th, 2020. (Oh, and Dr Berry's "keto flu" drink worked perfectly for me.)
Fantastic and what an encouraging story, big congrats! I have someone close with sarcoidosis. Prednisone has been the main remedy. Never knew about the weight gain problems. However, have seen kind of a bipolar disorder type of effect. Do you think an all carnivore diet could cure the sarcoidosis? Any feedback appreciated !
Amazing testimony. Best wishes for continued health improvement, you might need to consider reducing or deleting the blood thinner before long. Carnivore diet seems to reduce the need for many medications and suppliments.
Welcome back to life.
Angie, this is all so amazing!!! It's almost unreal, right! My gdtr has lung disease. I can't remember exactly (but Obliterans). Sooooo much Prednisone, Albuterol, etc... eats a lot of McDs, ugh!!! She turned 18 last month, & has been diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia, Immuno Deficiency, on & on & on. Allergic or so sensitive to most things. I'm praying & talking to her re her diet. I definitely want her to read your story! Thank God for your dtrs persistence, right. Great job & thank you so much for sharing.🙏❤️🙏

For memory: excercize, get yourself n-acetyl cystiene (you wouldn't be able to get agathisflavone so take n-acetyl cystiene instead), a lotta vitamin A, vitamin K2 MK7 (or MK4), vitamin D3, do wim hof's breathing technique, perform mentally demanding tasks for a few hours every day, and sleep well. They will help not only with oxidative stress, but also promote neurogenesis and neuronal maturation. Kids and adolescents have great cardiac health and it helps with brain development (along with activities that are cognitively demanding and therefore help neural differentiation, maturation and consolidation, like being social). Since attention, memory, processing speed, reasoning and abstraction are always present in literally everything we do, their circuitry also get strengthened as well, but only if we use them enough, as dictated by our given limits of intelligence. Erythropoietin is induced by hypoxia when doing intense cardio and the breathing technique, and you need both for brain development. For neuroprotection, against oxidative stress and glutamatergic toxicity, luckily, both also work. Now if it weren't for blood thinners I would have also recommended omega 3 fatty acids (2000-3000 milligrams a day of dha) but I would say you really shouldn't, just out of precaution. You should look it up and make sure. If you did however see it safe to take omega 3, don't worry about its oxidation. Turns out it still has the same benefits even if it's rancid, plus you're already treating it through excercize, etc.
Oh and take your B vitamins and minerals because those are also absolutely necessary for brain health (there are specific forms that are bioavailable that you should take instead of the cheap useless ones which I'll be happy to list one by one if you're interested).
Some research:
-Beyond the Hippocampus and the SVZ: Adult Neurogenesis Throughout the Brain.
-Retinoic acid signaling and neuronal differentiation.
-Generation of a defined and uniform population of CNS progenitors and neurons from mouse embryonic stem cells.
-Retinoic acid restores adult hippocampal neurogenesis and reverses spatial memory deficit in vitamin A deprived rats.
-Induction of striatal neurogenesis and generation of region-specific functional mature neurons after ischemia by growth factors.
-Agathisflavone, a flavonoid derived from Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.), enhances neuronal population and protects against glutamate excitotoxicity.
-PKN1 promotes synapse maturation by inhibiting mGluR-dependent silencing through neuronal glutamate transporter activation.
-Progressive maturation of silent synapses governs the duration of a critical period.
-Silent synapses generate sparse and orthogonal action potential firing in adult-born hippocampal granule cells.
-Early Actions of Neurotransmitters During Cortex Development and Maturation of Reprogrammed Neurons.
Brain plasticity is still possible well into adulthood, and critical periods of socialization remain open even if stimulus is lacking during its typical onset (a bit controversial). Don't get discouraged. Good luck!
RE: Honey! I heard there is an enzyme in honey, it has to be raw, which acts in a way to make it quite different than other carbs. And thanks for this podcast! A subject of much interest for me. I need my sweet moment, can not go around it. And Ive been having good results with my keto carnivore, even with honey and occasional ripe fruit. I am not gaining weight in fat, but gaining a lot of muscle and replenishing my bones! 2 years in, 1st year I cheated with a bit of sourdough bread at every lunch... hey, it took 30+ years to stop chocolate addiction, dont judge me ;) cheers
Terrific, no judgment at all!
That sweet moment is called addiction.... but its not healthy activating the randle cycle constantly, with sugar/fat.
@@dannyc9784 You probably follow Dr, Berrys diet which is not bad. But a bit hypocritical cause you dont eat raw meat, if you cook the meat you are eating a lot of carcinogens with it. So first fix your diet, then talk about others diets :D
@@matiasacosta175 First you have no clue how much I do or don't cook my meat and yeah our ancestors never used fire to cook meat....

Thank you gentlemen, great talk, very, very helpful. Dr. Saladino, chapeau 🎩for your patience with your fellow dr. Berry who means sincerely well but did not hunt with indigenous people in Tanzania as you did. You both have a slightly different perspective due to your heart felt responsibilities to each of your target groups, and these differences in opinion bring forth high quality frameworks for us listeners, to better position and understand our wonderful carnivore adventures with. So valuable, thank you so much both of you, for all of your sharing and ventilating all of your knowledge and experience. Truely wonderful.
Very refreshing to see a cordial carnivore discussion. Ken does an excellent job maintaining good relationships with people who don't entirely agree him. I think both Ken and Paul really need to dig into the notion that muscle meat carnivores generally do the best long-term, and that this obviously has something to do with problems with organ consumption and/or excessive egg consumption. Vitamin A and copper anyone?
Following
What would be the problem with excessive egg consumption? And how much would be excessive?
@@mvers6671 Primarily the Vitamin A content. You'd have to eat 20 large eggs to reach the DV for Vitamin A, but if you already have a lot of Vitamin A stored in your liver and/or you're eating organs like liver and kidney regularly, or eating a lot of dairy fat regularly, adding eggs on top of that might push you into toxicity territory. Liver and kidney are definitely more of a risk than eggs though.
I love Dr Ken's complete honesty - that animal is "going to break out of the cage and eat the experimenter!" If you restrict calories! So true.
We should test all the diets on prisoners...
yes.
I’ve been carnivore for 5 yrs and added berries and honey into my diet over the summer. I gained 10lbs went into a super carb craving mode and working my way out finally by going back to carnivore and fasting. Only then did I look and feel optimal. I also have a history of PCOS and insulin resistance which carnivore cured. Maybe for those of us who are not athletes or have a prior damaged metabolisms adding in sugar in any form is not ideal. Paul Saldino is not the average person. He is a single man, no children, living in Costa Rica surfing for hours everyday and working out regularly. That should be the forewarning to his message. I think it’s a dial. More active and fit you are the more you can tolerate carbs and sugars, less active and athletic turn down the dial to none if needed. Go high fat lower protein to heal major illnesses. Most of us are in the middle somewhere. We need a graph because by and large all the carnivore doctors are right, depending based on the individual’s health and activity.
I am an elite 800m middle distance runner who just did a podcast with Shawn Baker... and fruit was not good for me! I gained 7 pounds in one year and the only diet adjustment was I added fruit and honey to my carnivore diet. I started to get joint pain too which prompted me to try to take fruit and honey out again. within in a month I dropped 3 pounds and no joint pain. As active as I am .... it just doesn't work for me. I feel much better strict carnivore.
Thanks for sharing I was going to add honey now I’d be more careful
He isn’t single he has a girlfriend who sometimes comes on his podcast
I also tried adding honey 1 tsp and for watermelon. My glucose spiked and stayed up above 110 for a week. Weight increased 10lbs. I Wish fully I could have added these but... it's not healthy for me.
I do however appreciate the intelligence and respect these doctors exhibit. Great debate!
I’m the same way. Adding anything sweet is dangerous and will send me into a blackout binge. I have the hardest time getting back on track after that.
Honey and fruit is just a very bad idea for me.
I think this discussion is perfect. I think they are both trying to be a part of the solution of figuring out what is truly healthy or not. I think Dr. Berry is right when he says meat is the answer. I think that Saladino is right when he says that natural and proper carbs aren't inherently evil. I think our problem, in the US, is processed foods, too much added sugars, too much cheap seed oils, and too much fake stuff in our food. All that on top of the fact we've become SO SEDENTARY. Working for your food and livelihood and survival is one hell of a workout. This conversation is making me think a little differently about my carnivore diet in a wholesome way. Carbs are fine but you have to know yourself. Make adjustments accordingly. Can't handle them at all? Then don't eat them. Do you feel ok and are all vitals and bloodwork looking ok? Then you can have some natural carbs. The food pyramid is trash regardless. I think a largely meat and fat based diet, with occasional fruit or berries is probably fine.
This was SO AMAZINGLY informative - I would have paid for this info! Let us all know when Ken gets down there! Lots of lives, videos, and insta's 🙏❤️🤞🔥
I do agree that fruits and honey were part of our evolutionary diet, however, I do not think it was available year around to most hunter gatherer groups. Think about it, unless you're looking at a small population living in a specific tropical location near the equator, most fruits are seasonal and for most of the year, it would be too cold for them to be available. Once the fruits are consumed, that's pretty much it for a while. Similar to wild honey. Once you find a hive and deplete it, how often will you have access to honey on a weekly or monthly basis? That is why I agree with Dr. Berry that meat was the primary source of sustenance that was available frequently, and at that, not every day. Great video and discussion.
@@cornstar1253 that's a good point and I believe in my mind I was thinking further back in history before that. But nevertheless, when they would Preserve fruits, it wasn't available to them in the abundance like it is today every day for us I imagine.
Makes sense to me.
I recently tried Pauladino’s diet. I’d forgotten about a tooth ache I had before starting the real carnivore diet. After 3 months Of carnivore I added a little honey and 4 days later the ache returned. I’m 52 and will have some coffee but mostly carnivore nowadays.
Same with me...a couple days with cards and/or fruit and a "chronic" jaw ache comes back @ the site of an old tooth removal.
@@abelovedflame Whats the cards?
Interesting, do you KNOW if the honey was raw or not? They say the number manuka honey is healing to teeth. I've had gum issues in the past, and I am drawn to carnivore to clear that out, a lot of people say carnivore heals the mouth. So I am avoiding fruit temporarily, but I would love to have some berries. In general I always feel carbs make me fat personally, and I dont ever eat plant/seed oils, I use to a long time ago when I was growing up and in my early 20s some. But I have never tried to make my carbs only berries or fruit. I do eat dairy, maybe giving that up would make me cut more. I am VERY active, outdoors, physical job, jog, and workout heavy, and my appetite is high, my body seems to like to be around 17 percent, I can get it to 9 with tons of intermittent fasting, running, and low carbs. But as I have gotten older and I feel stronger and more energy than most people I know, and I feel hearty, I don't care as much about not seeing my six pack, I tell people I am like a bear, tons of muscle, a layer of fat, and hairy, lol!
@@jonathankuhn2180 Typo...Meant to write "carbs."
@@abelovedflame I realized that afterward, duh, lol. What opportune timing. So I have been dealing with bleeding gums and inflammation for years now(any suggestions). I have been going to a dental hygienist every three months. I tell them it is probably emotional, or diet related, or something is aloof, and they are closed minded, and tell me to floss more (omg, I do!) I told her I think it is interesting they do not inspect the rest of my health, or collaborate with a general practitioner, surely the body doesn't operate in segments. Any way, I have been doing a few new protocols, like oil pulling, and diluted hydrogen peroxide after my last visit over 2 weeks ago. I fasted for 2 days after cleaning to let mouth rest, and have been carnivore since. No bleeding, gums look great. Well 4 days ago I got raw honey, some pasturized milk(sugary), some strawberries, and some acorn squash, all according to carnivore md. The last two days my gums are bleeding, and a little red. So maybe if I gave it a few months to 6 months and fully healed it would be okay. But for some of us with different diseases going on, I think carnivore is the healing key. Hope this helps you or someone else!
I have been keto/carnivore five years now .. I am 49 female .. I am 5’5” 120 pounds .. I am on a health journey not weight loss .. I have not lost weight in 5 years… I stayed the exact same 120 pounds …..
A1c 4.6 -Fasting insulin one. .. I have hypothyroid very cold … recently started increasing the carb a little bit of vegetable and fruit so hopefully I can warm up .. ❤️wonderful information ! I watch all your videos❤ both of y’all thank you so much❤
Saladino is my hero.. Thanks to Dr. Paul Saladino I finally feel my very, very best. I could not, for the life of me, understand why my electrolites were always low. Not for lack of salt because I can put down salt like the best of them.. I had leg cramps, heart palpitations and constipation while strictly carnivore, not to mention that stinky keto breath that was killing everyone around me. NO, thank you.. My body was telling me it should not be like this.. Enter fruit, goat keifer and honey and FINALLY leg cramps, heart palpitations, constipation and stinky breath completely gone. Still maintaining satiety for hours and hours after my meals. Two meals a day. Kept my weight just where I need it.. I'm always calm and sleep like a newborn baby. Just goes to show we are all different. You need to tweak until you find your happy.
I fully agree...we are all different
Absolutely! Thanks for posting your experience.
Can you please write how much fruit and honey you added during the day? Since I started keto/carnivore, my heart palpitations have started and despite taking electrolytes, it won't go away...
low bile flow...bitter greens before a meal instantly stop constipation due to increased bile flow.
@@ukaszkutryba7227 Hello, so I added 2 fruit servings daily. One of which is 1/2 of an avocado. I also i corporated no more than 1 and 1/2 Tbsp of honey with the 6 oz of goat keifer. That did the job for me. You will have to see how your body does with these. This may do the job. Give yourself some time to see the improvement. Again we are all different. The best to you.
I went full carnivore and if I crave a fruit that is in season in my area, I'll try it. I ate mango from the tree and my body did well. Now that apples are in season I can eat an apple here and there without any reaction.
my current view on fruit is if a person is healthy, active and not overweight a bit of fruit has got to be alright.
you sound like a real human being operating by natural instincts
fructose is bad heather. it is very bad and mostly unnatural to our human diet.
In season is definitely key! Yes 🙌
Obviously our good Dr. Paul is burning off those carbs he's eating. I always watch every video come across from these 2, as they're 2 of my all time favorite. Please keep up the good work, Drs!
Dr Berry you're such a great and humble human being. It's true when you say we don't know it all but you are trying your best to find out the best way to help people through our diet live a longer life. Un abrazo desde España
I'm cult with mainly red meat ,eggs,salmon and occasional fruit when you have a craving for a treat....and sometimes let's say once a month just go crazy on ice cream,pizza and donuts whatever
It's not carnivore. Eat what you want but I know I cannot eat honey, fruit or any other carbs without repercussions. As someone who a few years ago was dying from congestive heart failure, type 2 and a list of other issues it's black and white with me. I wholeheartedly admit everyone has varying tolerances to different foods but I know what I have consistently seen beneficial for the majority and detrimental as well. It some cases if one is wanting to justify sugar as carnivore I have to wonder if carb addiction is not an underlying issue.
I still eat honey. It is a form of sugar but the health benefits of it are so good. It is a food of the Bible.
@@hulonposey1693 The body doesn´t know it´s honey. To the body, sugar is sugar whether it´s honey, fruit or sugar from the bowl. Full stop. But as always, to each their own. ✌
It is useful and healthy to break out of ketosis once a day. Doing so is very difficult for those on a strict traditional therapeutic keto diet. This explains why the epilepsy patients who were put on a strict keto diet, and saw their epilepsy symptoms disappear, also tended to have smaller musculature and achieved less height while institutionalized.
A carnivore diet, on OMAD, will induce a large enough post prandial spike in blood glucose, to kick the body out of ketosis for a period of time, daily. The large bolus of protein is the key to this.
What Saladino appears to be achieving with honey, is an effect that any carnivore on OMAD will already achieve, by virtue of that bolus of protein, once a day.
This daily cycle facilitates muscle and collagen formation.
I like raw local honey as a medicinal, and use it as such. It is not an appropriate routine or primary food for human beings.
@@ivermec-tin666 Couldn't have said it better myself !
did you reversed your type 2 diabetes with carnivore?
Love this discussion! I first got turned onto carnivore by Dr. Berry. However after a full year of the PHD, I wasn't feeling optimal, my weight wasn't budging (neither up or down), and I gradually started to feel worse and worse. Tried all the carnivore tweaks to no avail. All my numbers are always normal, and I have never been diagnosed with any health issues--except being overweight, lol. Then i started ketovore after listening to Neisha, and started to feel better. Then fruit because of Dr. Saladino, and I felt even better. Then someone mentioned timing your carb with your last meal to help with sleep issues--I've never slept better! (Previously suffered insomnia most nights, even while strict carnivore). So I have to agree that to some extent we are the same in that we should be eating meat based, but we do have differences that make ALL of these versions valid for someone. The important thing is to learn to listen to your body, which becomes a cinch to do after being carnivore for awhile! Oh, and yes the scale is also starting to tip in the right direction now, and I have energy, motivation, and good happy feelings all day! So thankful for everyone who shares what works for them, it's helped me tremendously! ❤️
I can identify with your experience!
When do you eat carbs ?
Can you elaborate on the carb timing thing? I'm interested in doing that.
@@derski87 Only eat carb with your last meal. Could help with sleep in some people.

Based but feel
Much better when I have some fruit and honey.
I really like how you put your points/concerns across regarding fruit and honey - and you didn't back down despite Paul's vehement opinions regarding their benefits. Handled very respectfully 👍 (I'm not sure Bart Kay would've been so polite haha)
This is exactly the sort of discussions we Need more of: respectful, non abusive and expressing alternative dietary methodology. An excellent talk!!
Dr. DBerry you nailed this interview. You and Dr. Salidino are amazing I appreciate his questions and giving you the full time to respond.
Well ,I will say this being a t1 diabetic if I eat a banana I go sky high so iv given up all vegs and fruit and feeling great. You all can keep your fruit and veggies.
My 90 year old mother eats 2 pieces of fruit every single day. But she has NEVER eaten margarine - only ever butter. Loves cream and cheese and I remember when she would slaver lard or dripping onto toast. No obesity, no diabetes, no depression. Still drives her car and meets up with her girlfriends (much younger than her) every week. Me - carb addict, had obesity and diabetes and depression. Recovered from all that now but cannot go near carbs or I’ll be off the wagon. We are all so different. You can see Paul Saladino has the body makeup of a greyhound, so his metabolism can obviously cope with fruit and honey.
2 pieces of fruits are not a big deal
So sorry you’re suffering so much right now Wendy. I am no stranger to pain from inflammation, it helps me a lot too when I simplify my diet to the few things that won’t cause any problems. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. God bless you guys.❤
Professionally done! Thank you both!
I’m currently on Keto for 10 days. The keto flu symptoms are going away. Lost 8 pounds of water. Feels good to be not hungry all the time. I believe it’s an incredible diet and my goal is to drain 20 more pounds and stabilize. With that said, i was born and created in Brazil, a tropical country with fruits available on trees all the time. Most fruits in my region are seasonal and their seasons varies fruit to fruit. Years ago, with a non-processed sugar/carbs diet approach, my apetite was decreased so I lost 18 pounds. I exercised everyday, lifting and running. After a while, I went back to eating ice cream, processed carbs and I gradually gained all my weight back plus 10 pounds within 4-5 years. My gym life was also highly compromised because of work. The problem for me, is always refined sugar, processed carbs/fats, and lack of exercise. I also believe on the power of fruits and vegetables and I’ll probably go back to them in the future because I love them as much as I love steaks. I’m on keto because I was curious with so many people happy with there results. I’m happy with mine too. I believe it’s more than an emergency diet for people to revert a lotta of health issues. I see improvements in my own health and I barely exercised since I started. However, I can’t deny that I got incredible results before just by cutting proceed foods and sweets. Fruits and vegetables were all on the table. Doctor Berry, I’ve learned a lot with you. I actually started keto after I found your channel. Thank you, it’s been a nice journey and I can’t stop learning.
remember ppl fall off carnivore when they don't take enough fat. When you start out on carnivore, you have enough fat for your body to burn thro. When your body has burned thro this fat, you must take in enough fat otherwise you fall off. You're replacing carbs with fat, not protein - that's the idea. If you eat 8 eggs fried in an excessive amount of tallow everyday, and dousing your meats in excessive amounts of butter; if you're eating butter, drinking ghee everyday; you'll do well on carnivore. It's a fat diet, not a meat diet
Went off carnivore over Thanksgiving and gained 15 lbs. Water retention. Muscles and joints hurt. All started with getting honey after watching Paul's videos. Spiraled.
You have to do what works for you. I think that some people do better full carnivore or even just super low carb. I have gone back and forth from one version of low carb/keto to not. I, personally, have found that low carb generally is easier for me to lose weight. However, now that I am between 12 to 15 percent body fat and trying to gain muscle mass, I do better adding the carbs via fruit around my workouts. Mostly carnivore most of the time.
Honey is both fake (mostly) and toxic
@@MP-yh7jv yes
@@MP-yh7jv what carbs work for you ? I have a hard time keeping on weight with no carbs
@@Moresco24 I will do about 50 grams of carbs about and hour or so before I lift and 50 right after. Usually some fruit before. Some berries and an apple or some grapes. Then I will usually have some raw honey within 30 minutes after i am done. I still keep it somewhat lower carb. Under 100 grams on my lifting days and less on off days. Occasionally I will have some raw milk but not very often.
When I did a carnivore diet, over time I struggled with dehydration/electrolytes and after a few months felt terrible even with salt and electrolytes. After adding in some fruit, I feel much better. I think Dr. Berry knows his stuff and is a true health advocate. I thought I was an anomaly so hearing this was helpful.
It's possible that your body was dumping Oxalates. The body will dump Oxalates when going carnivore, since there is an absence of Oxalate being consumed. This may also explain the dehydration, do you recollect peeing more frequently? Adding fruit will essentially reintroduce some dietary Oxalates and slow down Oxalate dumping and its awful symptoms, however Oxalates are not good and should be avoided as much as possible. Glad fruit worked for you, good luck with your health journey. 😊
@@andrewc7525 thank you for your reply. Was def peeing more but I was drinking a lot of water (some with electrolytes, some without) while continuing to experience signs of dehydration - low energy, light headed at times, feeling “blah”. After exercising it was worse. I tried more salt as well as adding electrolytes. This occurred after about 6-8 months eating keto, then carnivore. I’m a former vegan and kept thinking, “I felt better eating a plant based diet” so I reintroduced some fruit and veg. Problem totally resolved. I’ve tweaked it a bit, restricting to berries, avocado, coconut and keto veg. Thank you again for your reply.
@@lizpetruzzi7700 I'm really glad you found a solution that works for you. 😊
This is due to a lack of an insulin bump leading to the loss of electrolyte retention in the kidneys. This could’ve been remedies by lowering the number of meals per day and increasing the bolus of protein in each of those less frequent meals to provide that small insulin bump
@@alex_4trth wow - thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate your response. I will give this a try. You are the first person to come up with a rationale/solution that makes sense. Thank you again.
Would be interesting to get a update from Paul Saladino on fiber. When he was carnivore he put out a few videos saying fiber is basicly potentially bad for health, blocking nutrient absorption and at the very least prevents optimal health. But now he eats fruit, which contains significant fiber, so now he thinks fiber makes us more healthy?
To me it’s not complicated. Prior to age 30, I ate 5-6 meals/day; of which 2-3 were fast food. I trained hard and maintained single digit body fat. However, after age 40, my activity level decreased and so did my lean body mass. I also began feeling the chronic joint pain from previous years of collegiate basketball and a bodybuilding training regiment. I then continued to educate myself on nutrition and longevity to reduce inflammation and overall long-term health. Additionally, I was fortunate enough to have more resources to eat “real” foods and avoid the value menu at Wendy’s. I don’t think Saldino is necessarily wrong, but time will tell as he gets older and less active whether he continues the volume of fruit and honey. I’m now 57, single digit bmi and only eat meat and eggs with a handful of berries during the week. Bloodwork solid.
That is discipline.
Sounds like what he promotes to me, he never says diet is inflexible, maybe I missed it, does he?
You may wish to edit your wording. You don't have a single digit BMI.
Oh, Dr. B, this was excellent. You stayed so diplomatic and respectful in this talk, and I so appreciate you having this conversation with Paul.
I'm with you, though - I ain't touching all those carbs or I'll be right back to a diabetic a1c!
I live in the tropics (Philippines), and we have several fruit trees. The only fruits available year round are bananas and coconut. The rest, like mangoes and avocados will be raining for a month to 6 weeks, then die down. Farmers have hacks to get them to bear fruit more often, but typically it's just one season if no tampering.
