I quit coffee. Locked myself in my house Sunday,.stopped coffee and fasted for three days. After 54 plus years, I am caffeine free. I had a headache as big as Texas, just drank water with electrolytes for 3 days. Today I woke up and man did I feel different. Like a new man and am off my 20 plus cups of coffee a day. I am seven months Carnivore.
I thought my 10 cup a day habit was bad. I've cold-turkeyed a few times. Beware the temptation to have "just one cup" some day when you're super tired and travelling or something.
THis is a completely unrelated subject, but they applied a rule in the Netherlands, where they made infrastructure designers (road designers) responsible for road safety. That resulted in road designs that reduce accidents. They did this by creating an independent organization that does scientific experiments to figure out what the safest road designs are. The road designers then can choose to follow those guidelines. (they don't have the obligation to do this, but obviously, following the guidelines will help in not being held responsible for accidents.) So they effectively took the responsibility away from the authorities and placed it firmly in the hands of infrastructure designers. Maybe we should make the food companies responsible for health effects of their products. That may be the way to change the tide.
I have huge repect for Doctor Shawn Baker and his approach to improving ones health. My own life has been transformed by eating a carnivore diet. I am not looking for a really long life, just one that is free of the diseases I used to suffer from. People comment that I will experience the downside of this woe eventually and I am prepared to carry on and enjoy the ride!
I started with standard American diet, eliminated starchy carbs, went to ketogenic, now I'm carnivore. None of my evolution was due to health issues. I eat mostly beef, eggs, and butter, when I want variety I eat salmon, shrimp, scallops, oysters. I eat some cheese. I keep yogurt in the frig but mostly eat it rarely, when I'm in a hurry, hungry, and decide to grab some food before being busy doing activities out of the house. Who wouldn't want to eat the hyper-palatable foods? Anyone who wants to be optimally healthy, happy, athletic, vigorous, lean, beautiful, and sexually active.
I started eating carnivore 6 days ago in order to get rid of my binge eating disorder and it's been rough. Even trying to figure out my hunger cues is a struggle, after so many binges I can eat way past satiation but eating 'too much' meat is better than eating potatoe chips and cookies., I guess. So far I am 6 days binge free and taking it one day at a time.
I was in the same boat for a long time, 3 plates at a buffet for lunch, whole Domino's medium deep dish pizza, sub and 20-40 wings washing it down with a fifth of Jack for dinner. Got up to 375+ depending on the day. Fasted my way down to 275, jumped on carnivore last July and I'm down to 255. Highschool weight. Still overweight. Now I'm doing two day fasts and then a giant meat meal and back to fasting. Keep the faith.
Just becoming a virtual carnivore, and eating mostly meat,more fat and some dairy, has totally changed the way I wake up in the morning. My personal experience is sufficiently evidence enough. I realize the cloud of depression has been with me, although never officially diagnosed, for much of my life. It is now gone and I am loving it! I don’t need a RCT to realize the benefits.
Almost 32 weeks pregnant and took a few weeks off eating animal based, and I felt like trash. Fast forward to today, joint pain is gone, (chronic, life long) migraine condition is gone, no excess fluid retention, ZERO BINGES ❤... what a wild and wonderful last few weeks. I'm beyond thankful
Just wanted to update this comment. Was at my midwifery appt this morning, and besides a cold (my 2 year old brought home from daycare).. I'm the picture of healthy. Baby #2 is growing away, head down, strong kicks/ butt wiggles, perfect blood pressure, and they can't believe I don't have any swelling in my feet yet. (I'm a very busy barber who works 3, 6 hour days and 2, 10 hour days.)
I eat high fat lions w/blk coffee. Beef, fat, salt, water and 2cups blk coffee. I feel absolutely amazing. No desire for sugar (and I was one of the worst addicts) weight melted off without trying, never hungry, mental health improved significantly, energy beyond measure etc…I’m thriving with this lifestyle. 🤸🏼♂️🥩
@@imliz100 technically, red meat includes beef, veal, lamb, bison and pork. Are you eating only beef or including all red meats? In addition to lovepineapples’ suggestions, you can also pack meatballs (use the fattiest ground beef or any red meat you can find), make lamb burger patties and you can add beef or pork bacon for bacon burger patties. EAT THE FAT. If you like liver you can chop it up and mix it in your meatballs, if you eat pork then pork belly is excellent when you crisp it in an air fryer. Soup and crackers = Bone broth and pork rinds. Also make a nice big fatty meatloaf and you can have lunch for days. Same with a fatty Chuck roast. Cook the roast in an instapot, slow cooker, or slow cook it in the oven in a cast iron pan BUT sear it first to get a nice golden crust just for a few minutes, then just add water and salt and you will have the most tender, fattiest leftovers for lunch that will taste better as each day passes. Don’t be afraid to experiment. As long as you keep it fatty and eat until you are satisfied not sickly stuffed, the you will be just fine. Also, try to walk 10-15 min after each meal to help with digestion. 💛🥩
When I’m eating carnivore I have no pain from Tendonitis , arthritis and peripheral neuropathy . It’s mind blowing the difference it makes . I just don’t do well with a lot of vegetables. My blood results have improved , my LDL was a little over but the gp said everything else was fine. Weight loss was a bonus but losing the inflammation, depression and fatigue are the best outcome . I’m nearly 60 and on no prescription drugs and am happy with that . Oh and I can tolerate the sun more which was a surprise
I have peripheral neuropathy, but I have zero pain with it. Only numbness. This causes me to have difficulty walking because I can't feel my feet. Did carnivore also reverse the numbness for you or just the pain? Thanks in advance. 😊
@@AnneMB955 nah thats cult behavior... just dont care about other peoples reactions. better to care about their experience to see if any of one's beliefs are challenged significantly
Enjoyed the interview. I’m 5 months carnivore. Inches are coming off slow but my eyes have just about healed. When I tried to open them in the morning it felt like my retinas were ripping. I had to have eye drops and do it slowly. I thought I may go blind. So because of my eyes, I’m carnivore for life. The added benefit of weight loss helps and I feel abit stronger when I lift weights. I’m female and 62 yrs
That is a horrible feeling. I upped my fat and now my eyes are rarely dry. Sleeping with a fan can dry them out. I put Systane Balance or good saline preservative free drops in right before bed.
My favorite Dr. Baker short videos are when he’s sitting there with a slab of meat on a wood board and has a little video going off to the left. I’m pretty much his ridiculing the person and it’s hilarious.
1 packet no flavor LMNT in water jug for morning cardio, 1 lb 85/15 grassfed beef for lunch, 1/4 cup half and half and two cups of cold brew pre workout, 1 lb 93/7 beef for dinner with tbs of primal valley sauce, and 1 packet of chocolate LMNT, two egg yolks, 1 cup of half and half+ Ninja creami (4 spins) best carnivore-ish night cap ice cream. I feel amazing and recover well enough for work (teacher) and I train everyday; often twice a day. Technically ketovore but most carbs come from dairy (and 1-2 tbs of clean ingredient sauce) and only 1 packet of sweetener (stevia in lmnt) a day. On the weekends I’ll have fish, steak, roast, carnivore crack chicken, or bbq. I have variety in my diet and have ice cream every night. I do not miss carbs, and I was once a pizza and donut addict.
24:02 A man for whom good grammar is important is a man after my heart! When he corrected himself, my admiration for him increased. Good communication is so important to understanding each other, but most have become lazy and/or indifferent. Kudos, Dr. Baker! 👏🏾
Dr. Eenfeldt is intelligent, wise, open minded,… and even though I’m married 32 years ; I kind of got a crush on him from a far lol -In all seriousness, thank you for all these videos through the years -diet doctor, and now Hava. I will certainly spread the word! 🙏🏻
I'm an overeater, so carnivore works perfect for me b/c I find it nearly impossible to actually "overeat" beef and other ruminants. I stick to Beef, Butter, Bacon, Eggs, and quality sea salt. No milk and no cheese for me. Dropped 70 pounds since July. Great interview.
Could satiety be the solution: what this approach does not take into account is addiction. Addiction to sugar, addiction to carbohydrates. An apple give you a lot of society per calorie, but for me an apple, eat me straight back to peanut M&Ms. Because of this, the extreme restriction of carnivore has been an absolute game changer for me. I can muscle through a couple weeks of withdrawal and then be fine. I cannot eat sugary foods (fruit for example) every day and not quickly go back to junk food.
I can’t remember who said it. And maybe they all did. But my favorite thing is when doctors tell an obese person to just exercise and diet and lose weight when the person is in so much pain that exercising, especially using the lower half of the body is impossible. That if they were just understand starting with diet is so much better than making them exercise which will cause them to quit faster than just eating correctly. Also, the diet doctors want you want they have no clue. Because they don’t know. And probably they would push the veggies.
Great video. I'm om my 4th month of 95% strict carnivore (still didn't manage to cut out the coffee) and the results have been almost miraculous. At this point I can't even imagine not doing this.
Thank you Dr. Baker. After an ORIF in the right ankle and a severe sprain in the left on the same day I can appreciate your concern for good nutritional values for healing. I do eat high quality red meats as I am B12 deficient and allergic to shellfish. I do grow an extensive garden of leafy greens and tomatoes but, mostly I grow herbs for medicinal use/tea. Comfrey root is a wonderful savle for the ankle. For me, I have eliminated processed carbs and sugars keeping my net carbs to 50-70 per day.
I've been on an animal based, indigenous diet since early 2000s and carnivore since late 2017 or early 2018. Nov. 29th, 2023 I had the CT scan for a CAD score. The lead lab technician double checked everything & said it was completely "unremarkable" & I have a score of 0%. I'm not a very big person so they were able to see all of the organs from collar bones to belly button lol. They saw nothing, anywhere. I'm so glad I eat my ancestral diet. I firmly believe that eating an anti-inflammatory, ancestral & species specific diet will prevent 99.9% of the ills of modern mankind. (Look at what's happening to our animal companions being fed food made in labs & factories. Pets are getting human diseases! I don't need someone to break that down for me. I fed my animals what they'd eat if not living in a heated structure with me & they didn't get diabetes, dementia, heart disease, kidney disease, strokes... ) Literally food for thought. 🤔 I will never buy commercially prepared "pet" food again. The processing, additives, preservatives & everything else in there they don't disclose is killing people and their pets. If my ancestors didn't have it, I'm not eating it.
Dr baker stated that he wouldn't have recommended the carnivore diet if he hadn't tried it himself. Obviously all Dr's should have to adhere to multiple different strict diets as part of their training.
Hey, you should check out Stephen Finney‘s videos, new developments, and low-carb or something along those lines. He clearly states that the problem with the colon is it does not like glucose. The reason low-carb is good is you do go into ketosis and the ketone beta hydroxybutyrate is close to the fuel that your colon likes butyrate.
I love that a carnivore diet is bio-identical. I’m made of flesh and blood and I eat flesh and blood. It seems so complicated for my body to turn Cauiliflower or celery into flesh and blood. This is just my simplistic way of looking at it! 😂
Doc - what about Amygdalin. found in apricot, cherry, and apple seeds. B-17, it was found to fight cancer years ago but has been more or less covered up by the medical pharma companies. It it a compound we can get from meat?
It’s all about what you are not eating with the carnivore diet which is unprocessed foods and beef just happens to have the most condensed nutrients and it satiates your hunger.
It's both what you are and aren't eating. I eat this way for neurological health (cured my epilepsy). Neuronal sheathing, myelin, is made out of cholesterol.
@@MsSilver41 I mean addiction to food in general. Obviously, if you eat carbs, that are addictive by themselves, it is way stronger. But if you are addicted to food, in stressful times, you have food thoughts all the time, any food. And it gets easy to overeat even with stomachache.
Calories matter but hormones matter very much as well. Calories is a pretty silly way to analyze the situation. Kind of like answering to "How do I get rich?" with "Spend less than you earn". DUH! That's an uninteresting and uninformative answer. Also if it's all about calories then why don't we chug some diesel or gasoline to keep us going? I find it hard to imagine that these people who have calories as a main focus spent significant time actually thinking about what they're saying.
Aw, c'mon, Shawn. You didn't coin the term "carnivore diet". The folks on ZIOH and ZCH were calling it that years before you came along. You took it to the masses on the JR show but you didn't invent it.

It's both what you are and aren't eating. I eat this way for neurological health (cured my epilepsy). Neuronal sheathing, myelin, is made out of cholesterol.
what about salt and osteoporosis
“Exploring” the carnivore diet? I’m gonna “Explore” your body.
“You know”
I can't see why Dr. Shawn Baker considers LDL cholesterol as causal in causing heart disease. What studies is he basing this on?
He doesn't. He just said to get more data.
LDL is part of the causal chain. The word "causal" is used in a scientific context here. That doesn't imply that LDL causes atherosclerosis.
Maybe I should eat 12 Oreos a day to lower my LDL.
Eating many Oreos gives your lower HLD (bad) and higher triglycerides (also bad)...
Kindly refer to the Randall cycle.
Fast way to metabolic disease.
Kindly consider not mixing carbs and fat.
Shaun you know better than saying you eat calories
There is no such thing as "food addiction."
If you are addicted to it, it is not food.
Carb addiction, on the other hand, can be
a thing.
You are SO wrong on this. There is food addiction and it is really hard sometimes
@@Oscar_AHdo you mean whole foods? vegetables, meat fish chicken eggs ? You have cravings for these and over consume ?
If this is your problem, would you care to share with
