- Highly-Processed Foods are bad for you. Most of us accept this as truth, but is it always true?

I changed my diet on Feb 25th. I am on SNAP so I can't afford steaks etc, but I MAINLY eat bacon and eggs. In 89 days I lowered my A1C from 9.9 to 5.3! Triglycerides were 274 and are now 99. My stage 3 Kidney Disease is now "mild" my Dr said. (He's VERY PROUD of me!) And I've lost 25 lbs!! I'm SO HAPPY I found out about a "proper Human Diet"! ❤❤❤❤ Oh! I forgot to add, my HAIR is growing back in and my MUSCLES are increasing! (I'll be 62 next month)
Jacquelynking, congratulations!!!! So happy for you!!!!🎉🥳💖
@@lindaa2437 Thank you SO MUCH!!
@@jacquelynking2184 You're very welcome! I'm retired. We are getting healthier one day at a time and on a budget too!
way to go, bro. keep on truckin!
Impressive.. Wow 😮
Thank you ❤️. I am a 69 yr old female who lives on my Social Security. I buy only inexpensive meats a and in the first 7 months I lost 112 pounds. I’ve never been hungry the whole time. On the 8 th month my weight stayed the exact same weight but internally I feel like a new woman. I still need to drop another 100 pounds but now I’m able to stand, get out of my chair and am learning to walk again with a Physical Therapist. Dr Berry, you saved me from an early death🥰
You are an inspiration! You can do it 🙏 💪 ♥
That's fantastic. Very happy to hear about your wonderful life changes!
You inspire! ❤
You got this! 💪🏼
Wow! Can I ask what your regular daily meals look like?
WOW. I was born in the 50's. I am shocked how much dietary information has changed since then. I feel like it was all on purpose to keep us weak and unhealthy. So amazing.
It was intended to sell agricultural products, and wheat and corn are the cheapest and most productive crops to grow. So, they lied to us that these things were good for us, when in fact they knew better. It's always about the money, and there's more money in grains than meat.
I was 365lb truck driver, I cut carbs almost completely from my diet. Driving cross country, food selection isn't great. I got down to 183 lbs eating hot dogs and plain no bread hamburgers
A pile of freshly grilled quarter-pounder patties is a great road meal, IMO.
Hot dogs contain sodium nitrates which promotes colon cancer. I would begin taking the supplement, Artemisinin to help prevent developing cancer or helping to prevent the cancer from advancing if it has already developed.
I commend you sir. I know what you are up against out there. Well done!!
Good job Bro!!!
Thats a tough gig in all ways...stay healthy!!!
I’d like to share my little dog was going lame in his back legs. I took him off all the bad foods and give him sardines, salmon, steak, etc… he is running around like the maniac he’s always been again. Vet insisted he had to have major surgery and he still wouldn’t be 100%. That was 2 years ago. ❤
Amazing!!! So glad to hear it!!!!
So happy for you and your beloved dog. My dog had seizures for years and was on terrible medications. I weaned him off the meds and fed him only meat I cooked. He has not had a seizure for 8 months. Doing fantastic and the vet is in awe. Carnivore is great for pets too.
So happy for the both of you! I've been doing a lot of Sardines lately and arthritis has improved!
Bless you. And the wisdom you acquired when fighting for your friends health! 🙏❤🖖!
@@Justtoomuchcrap my poor little dog had seizures on dry food. I didn't know any better back then. When she was 14 the vet promised me Confortis flea treatment was safe. It killed her. I've since learned from searching online thousands of pets are killed annually from pesticide flea treatments.
My worst day eating meat products is better than my best day eating processed foods.
Preach! I sometimes get so busy with work and kids that I don’t have time to grill a steak or don’t feel like cooking, I fix a simple charcuterie plate of salami, sopressata, cheeses and I’m good until dinner the next day
I think you’ve written that wrong bud.
Well said 👍👍👍👍
💯
3 grilled hotdogs is better than 3 twinkies
I’ll never forget from one of your early videos. “If all you can afford is hotdogs and mustard, EAT your hotdogs and mustard!” it’s been working for me for seven years now. Thank you!!
hot dogs are processed meat which is a carcinogen. The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy. Read you bible, Genesis 1:29
My favorite snacks are beef hotdogs and cheddar cheese sticks. I hold both a hotdog and cheese stick in on hand and eat them together. This masks the sodium taste in the hotdog.
I remember that video as well. Great stuff and consistent.
That’s what I actually eat and people make in fun of me!! The jokes on them! Lowered my A1C from 9 to 5.7
thats awesome story!
“Grass finished, grass fed, panda massaged steaks.” 😂😂😂 I love Dr. Berry.
Me, too! We is so down to earth and in touch with real people. Wish I had a doctor like him! p
I'm a carnivore 100%. I became bored with regular steak, hamburger, chicken, and fish, so I researched on youtube how to make sausages, salamis, and lunchmeat. I bought a couple sausage recipe books and a couple tools needed for making sausages, it was one of the best decisions I could have made, it's super easy and fun to do, and much healthier as mine contain no food colorings, corn starch, or sugars. Oh, and they are super delicious too.
Mm mm..perhaps start your own food place? Or start some CZcams channel? ❤
Good idea!
@@rredding I thought people usually don't want to see the sausage being made, or was that just legislation?🤔
Could you share the name of the recipe books, I’m intrigued lol
@@petermadany2779ha…
I am 22 years old, just finished military service in the United States Marines. Being young and active I could practically eat whatever the hell I want and still feel and look great. But watching your channel changed my perspective on this. If at the very least, humbled me. I won’t always be this young and speaking of young it made me realized I don’t know jack shit. But also the military kind of screwed with my mental health but as I started following your teachings, the mental health issues slowly started getting better. No pill has done that for me. Keto/Carnivore diet is truly wonderful. Just listening to you makes me feel like I’ve been lied to my whole life.
Edit: Just want to say, thank you all so much for the kind words. Just an update and follow up : 2 months later since I wrote this I am still on Keto/Carnivore and… no surprises here, I feel fantastic! I wish you all the best on your healing journey’s everyone!!
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
You have been rewarded with game changing knowledge at a young age. Semper Fi.
Oohrah, Devil Dog. Great perspective for one so young. Semper fi.

@@mclifer Semper Fi! I don’t want to call it a reward, but more like a blessing to have come across Dr. Berry
Lost 75 lbs on keto by eating a lot of hotdogs, hotlinks, polish sausage, etc. I went with the ones with only 1 gram carbs per weiner instead of 2 grams like most. (Most all have sugar added). Their are some grass fed beef ones at Costco that are good. I sometimes put a dab of Head Country sugar free barbeque sauce on my plate and dip my dogs. There are so many ways you can do keto and be fully satisfied without hunger and without going broke. Eating steak is still cheaper than alcohol , cigarettes, and paying for medical care. I have the same story as a lot of your viewers, reversed type 2 diabetes with only the elevated LDL your doctor tries to give you the statins for. All these people getting healthy are proof that you have the answer. You are doing a great service to humanity. Keep up the great work!
You’re paying $5 a lb for hotdogs. You can get the frozen 100% beef pattys for $4 a lb. Currently $3.33 a lb at Aldi - better than sams). Why eat nasty processed eyeballs and rat turds? Cheap processed meat isn’t actually cheap. Cleaner better cheaper - beef.
I have been watching you for quite a few years. I have a even higher respect for you, if that is possible. I am 63 now with a a1c of 5.1. Just 2 years ago i was diagnosed with very bad diabetes. My blood sugars were 329. I found you and other drs on youtube. I instantly quit my vegan diet and went keto. Today i concider my diet mostly carnivore. I will never go back. I mostly eat meats that I can afford. Hamburger and other low cost meats and eggs.
It works for me🎉❤
Oh Wow that's great my Dear thanks u very much for telling us about it and may God always Bless you n your all family members amen ❤️🙏🏻
They keep on using processed meats as a red herring. Its not salami causing the chronic diseases plaguing humans today.
Exactly!
It’s grains and all the cancer causing pesticides they contain.
Very true. Salami is barely ever eaten by most. It's all the grains and seed oils people over eat
Similar note- they'll tell you pepperoni is bad. No, it's the crust that's going to keep you sick and fat. The pepperoni (and cheese) are healthful.
Usually these processed meats are served with a bun + fries soaked in toxic seed oil waste, on a pizza or other highly processed junk. This diet ultimately results in poor health but thanks to the climate scam (red) meat gets the blame.
This is GREAT information! My wife doesn't believe in the health benefits of this diet and says it'll eat us out of house and home. I've substituted spam, hotdogs, bologna, and pork rinds as snacks , and she thinks it's all junk. Her belief is that a " healthy" and "balanced" diet is more fruits & veggies than meat. So far, I've lost 10lbs and feel better than I have in the past few months. She's still a nay sayer, but you can't argue the results I'm getting. Thanks, Doc. I appreciate your videos.
Just shut up and lead by example to keep peace 🙂
People have been utterly brainwashed by the push for a way of eating that makes us more addicted and sicker. But big pharma is loving it .
Fructose is horrible to our health and many will find that many veggies cause major inflammation
@@euhdink4501 Exactly. Actions will speak louder than words :)
It’s what has been preached to us since 1970’s. My experience is that “they” are wrong. I put on weight & was ill. Now I weigh what I weighed 20 + years ago & feel great!
My fiance is the same as your wife.
I'm SO glad you said this. Indeed - not everyone can afford high priced, organic meats. Food shaming people because they can't eat these high priced foods is just ignorant and mean. They need to get over themselves.
Hot dogs $4 a lb or $4 for 12oz. Frozen 100% beef patties are $3.33-$4 a lb. Which is better?
Think for yourself. YT guys aren’t always right. It’s okay to disagree and go your own way.
I really love that you always provided options for those who cannot have the most ideal food choice. It is what a real doctor should be doing, to look after everyone from different socioeconomic background.
Yes, bc pushing fresh veggies that you can grow in a little garden isn't good for you
@@loriyates6617 Vegetables have very low calories therefore cannot help fill a person's diet. You're really not looking out for others are you.
People can Live on vegetables and some veggies like some beans have more protein than meat
@@loriyates6617Beans have a lot of toxins and doesn't allow the body to absorb much. There's a reason why there's long histories of people of different cultures having to ultra process it to make it edible.
I lost 80lb eating bacon every morning and fast food , de-bunning the sandwiches every other meal. My cholesterol and triglycerides all fell to the normal range as I lost weight. !!
I had to reread your comment. At first, I thought you said you ate 80lbs of bacon every morning! Good on you for losing the weight, but ditch the fast food. They put all kinds of crap in there that isn't good for you.
I'm guessing you're under 50
@@ceilconstante640 yes I was in my 30’s
@@citypicker4449 I used to be able to do that when I was younger. I'm 60 now. I've started doing sardines instead of tuna and feeling better. I found this awesome video on YT:.

Hey Dr Berry, Here is a paradox for you. The late and fabulous Betty White loved hot dogs. That, apparently, was almost all that she consumed. This for most of her adult life. People kept telling her she would die from those stupid things. She lived a wonderful life, to age 99.
Fabulous lady, she was! And feisty right til the very end! Did not know about the hot dogs, though, so thanks for that tidbit ;)
Had to Google what you just said because I know she was an animal lover and I suspected that she may have been a vegetarian... however, you are correct, she loved hot dogs and avoided greens.
@@B81Mack "People" think that us meat-eating humans don't care for animals, but the opposite is true. I absolutely LOVE animals, which is one of the reasons why I raise my own. Not only do we get the healthiest possible meat, but we provide a happy, healthy and true to their natural/wild environments! When it comes to harvest, they don't feel a thing - it's instant "lights out" and they go down in nature, not surrounded by concrete!
This is exciting news for me. I don't know why, but I've loved hotdogs and bologna since I was a child. My family used to own a meat market and even though other meats were available, that's all I'd eat. I'm working a 12 hour shift at the hospital tonight and brought in a pack of Oscar Mayer bun length hotdogs and a package of bologna rather than wake up a little early to cook a steak or ground beef. Something must be wrong inside my head. Lol
@@B81Mack Don’t know why people assume animal lovers are all vegetarians. I think her character “Rose” even said once on a Golden Girls episode that “you can love your animals and still kill them because it is all part of the circle of life.” I suspect that was her own personal belief as well incorporated into the show. I 100% agree.
60 days in at age 55 I have the abdomen that I had at 25. Years of working out and trying different ways to keep the muscle on and the fat weight off was a futile and losing battle. Wife suffered for years counting calories and restricting foods to maintain her figure, which led to fatigue and frustration because she was undernourished. For the first time in years she stopped counting calories on her phone app....that's huge. Now we eat well every day, no cravings, enough energy to work out every day and we look as though we are reverse ageing. We save money because we never throw out those rotten vegetables in our fridge, as we did not buy them in the first place. I don't give a damn what any of these 'experts' say to us, we are the experts of our own bodies and all it takes is the courage and the willingness to try. YOU are far smarter than you may think. Trust yourself.
WoW Doc, you just took a thousand lbs of worry off my mind, I have noticed the more bacon & eggs type meals I eat and less carbs, I actually lose weight, so thanks again 😊
What I found out is that after a bit, one's food bill goes down because of what one is NOT buying: no cereal, no bread, no ice cream, no chips, etc. Then might be able to get an occasional meat treat. That is what happened with me.
Same here, the money we save on snacks, breads, desserts now goes to more or better packages of meat.
Me too because it's ALL we're eating right
OMAD, if you can do it. Ketosis as you know makes doing it much easier, and helps work out the price difference.
How much do you spend a day. I spend 11 dollars on a vegetarian diet @ 3200 calories. Do you spend more of less?
and you're not throwing all of those fruits and vegetables in the trash because they spoiled
Tip for the masses: Have your butcher grind your ground beef along with liver IN THE SAME MIX in proportions you like. Then just cook the hamburger patty in your oven to 160. Comes out perfect and you will get your organ meat hidden inside the ground beef.
Great tip, I'll try this.
@@ayazing456 Yup! That's mt staple. I have them grind a heart in there too. I do a 1-10 ratio of liver to GB and I 1-5 ratio of heart to GB. Delicious, cheap, superfood.
Awesome advice! I absolutely LOVE liverwurst, but can't stomach liver alone, but also haven't attempted to make liverwurst on my own yet... Next pig we do, I'll definitely throw the liver in with ground! (Normally the dogs wind up with the liver - spoiled brats! 🤣
160 celsius I assume
Can u taste the organ meat and it doesnt have the typical taste of regular ground beef?
Thank you so much for this video. I’m working on my finances and often times, have found myself having to choose more processed meats because they are cheaper. This really puts my heart at ease.
Thank you Dr. Berry. I was going crazy on what to eat. With inflation destroying the middle class I’ve found myself still eating pasta and other products for there inexpensive price tag. Thinking that deli meat and hot dogs might be worse to consume.
One factor that probably negates any downside in processed meats is that their "cheapness" means they include gristle, organ meats, and fats that aren't in regular muscle meat. This moves you closer to the ideal of eating the whole animal, which is better nutrition than just eating lean muscle meat. BTW, I once knew an African man who said his people still ate the whole chicken, including the gristle and cracking the cooked bones for the marrow. This too is better nutrition that we no longer do.
Excellent point! I recall as a child my dad teaching us to bite the ends off the chicken bones, then crunching the bone in order to suck out the marrow - I had forgotten about that until seeing your comment, so will definitely go back to doing that! And we're not African: my dad is Dutch, so this is probably something that spans many cultures ;)
Spam is pretty much liver, intestines, heart mix with muscles and fat of pigs, cooked and preserved in a can
That's what I came here to say! What many consider "by-products" are simply other parts of the animal, and we should be eating nose-to-tail anyway! I'm glad you posted... you said it much better than I could. 😊
@@mom2bbjandag who would have guessed that Spam and other luncheon meats which is entirely made up of meat muscles and animal by-products like heart, liver, intestines, marrow, collagen and fats is the ideal food for carnivores 🤪😂
Bone marrow is the bomb; very tidious to extract but delicious.
With a family of 6 this is often the position we are in. Carnivore is kind of expensive so we buy the best of what we can and it still works amazing. We still lost weight, still feel amazing and it still cleared up all my IBS symptoms and autoimmune issues.
If you can buy half a pig or a lamb or half a cow (if you have the freezer space) from your nearest slaughter house you’ll probably find it cheaper than the cheapest processed meat from the supermarket.
@@leeboss373I'm retired & on a budget. In my area you can find ground beef $2.99 to $3.99/lb almost every week. I also stock up on eggs and bacon when they are on special. I think it's cheaper to shop the weekly sales than to buy potted meat like spam. Just my opinion.
@leeboss373 good idea some farms even sell quarter cow and so on.
Carnivore is actually not all that expensive when you put it into perspective. Like, us carns only have to eat once a day, vs the normies having to eat two or three times a day, and up to five or six for the stupid vegans! So, how much are you saving by NOT buying all those side dishes, the breakfast cerals, etc etc? And then, of course, there's the lack of medical bills or - if you're in socialist/communist Canada (where I am), the days off work waiting hours at the doctor's office or emerg (currently 17 hours' wait) when your health decides to take a tumble?
Also, if you have the space and the means to slaughter and process, I highly recommend pigs or sheep! Both are easy keepers, but a sheep can replace your lawnmower and grow into food while saving you on gas, whereas pigs are better suited to woods/brushy environments.
@Agnes
I'm mostly vegetarian. I eat 3200 calories a day roughly. 11 dollars of food a day when it comes down to it. Can you beat that?
Thank you, Dr. Ken Berry, I, on a budget was concerned about the cheaper meats to continue the carnivore diet. I feel much better tht I can still keep taking care of my 89 year old body, with heart disease, angina, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, stenosis, 2 cervical spine surgeries, so on and so on. I hurt all the time and weight 185, and I look forward to a much better healthy lifestyle. Blessings and looking forward to more encouraging support 🙏 YOYO ❤
While grass-fed grass-finished beef is my absolute favorite, I'm on EBT and can't afford it. Thank you so much for the BBBE protocol!

I'm so happy I can be strict again, thank you Dr. Ken Berry for your guidance, humor and humbleness, looking out for everyone regardless of socioeconomic class.🙌
I may spend more on meat, but I'm spending less at the doctor's office.
I just had my 6 month follow up, and my doctor said: "I like what you're doing."
Here's what I have been doing: I have followed all that Dr. Ken has said to do.
I quit eating bread, I stopped drinking milk, I'm getting more sun on my skin AND toenails, I stopped drinking soda, and so on.
I've dropped 30 pounds in the last 6 months, my blood pressure is 130/80 (not that 140/82 was bad 6 months ago), heartrate was 56 bpm (not bad for 60+), 02 saturation was 97% (@ 6 thousand feet altitude), and my A1C DROPPED 2 FULL POINTS! I have that little song in my head now... Beef butter bacon and eggs! Thank you Dr. Ken Berry, for you are a true inspiration. Buy the book people. Do what it says. 🤗
To God be the glory.
sausage, bacon, and potted meats have fed people for CENTURIES. Thanks for pointing out that processed plant-based foods cause inflammation. I can't imagine what all the fake foods are going to do! Meat, fish, poultry based food products are the best. I'm changing my diet thanks to your encouragement and practical information. You're a gem of a doctor.
Perhaps they have, but NOT in the form of MODERN sausage, bacon and potted meats.
Beef Patties are $3.33 a lb so you’re choosing the higher priced item and getting less quality with filler garbage in it. I don’t trust any food industry to not poison me anymore. Why would you when you’re not even saving money.
Doc, been following you for quite a while. You consistently produce quality information, but I think this might be one of your most valuable posts. “Highly processed” in itself is not a bad thing, it’s what you are processing that is important. We make all our own bacon, Canadian bacon, sausage, salami, copa, lonzino etc, etc. We control everything that goes in it. Having said that I still eat commercially produced similar products. Also for those that don’t know, for many of these products don’t worry when you see dextrose in the ingredients. That was added to feed the bacterial culture that was used in the fermentation process. It has been consumed by bacteria long before you eat it.
I wasnt aware on the destrose bit, I think I will start adding sausages back during my cheat day instead of pizza thanks to you and Dr. Berry
Thank you for the info! I was really worried about how to afford to stay carnivore this paycheck. Knowing it's not sugar just in it helps!
Thanks for this. I'm tired of people who are more financially well off than I am trying to get me to buy things I can't afford by telling me that nothing is more important than my health and I should just "reprioritize". That kind of talk is really off-putting & unhelpful and doesn't magically put money into my bank account. My wallet shouldn't determine my value and right to a healthy life. The healthcare system would have us believe otherwise.
However, I greatly appreciate you. THIS content is helpful. THIS video makes me feel that I'm of worth. THESE words inspire me.
Again, Thank you. Please continue.

What an absolute gem you are doc. People needed to hear this and especially from a reputable authority as yourself. I hear this argument all the time in my coaching of others, from concerns of nitrates and salt, to a few grams of sugar per serving. These foods such as SPAM, hotdogs and all the salamis imaginable are still monumentally health foods (and yes I eat them myself, for 3 years now). People, please don't get discouraged by the ignorance of others, stay the course however you can. Don't blame the hotdogs for what the buns and pop did to you! All the best everyone!
No, you'll just get bowl cancer instead!!! Ignorance from one extreme to another.
Who says he's reputable? Science and most doctors and nutritionists would say otherwise. Anyone telling you to eat spam is selling you an early death
Does it worry you that he's making an argument without evidence?
Are you serious? You think eating hot dogs is healthy?!?!
@@lela888 absolutely! Don’t blame the hot dog for what the bun and condiments did 😉
I cant say I am on a carnivore Diet. But I have always been a meat and potato's type of guy. Before I got married I lived on fast food and would get horrible cases of gout. Once I was married and had a stable schedule and quit buying any form of processed food It is rare that I get a case of gout! The only processed food we eat are the ones we make at home. We make our own Bacon, Corned Beef, All types of sausage, Pulled pork, Brisket you name it. From the garden we make our own Pickles, Tomato sauce, Sauerkraut, and can may other things. My thought was you know my grand parents never suffered from this shit so why do I? My conclusion was because they raised their own food! They did not live a life of convenience. So I went back to the old way's of doing things and it worked great for us! Anybody out there can afford pork but at 87 cents a pound when it is on sale stock up on it. There is so many things you can make out of it! To get good cuts of meat that are inexpensive buy a chuck roll! You can get a couple rib eyes out of it and many other very good cuts that if it was broken down would cost a fortune. Be independent! Do not rely on anybody other than you! That my friends will be a life well lived!
Thank you Dr Berry …you are one of the few people on the internet that speak about this option of more affordable way of Carnivore…a lot of people out here talking about buying Organic Grassfeed Panda 🐼 massage ribeye steaks like if the meat industry was paying them a % for advising people to eat it
Very good advice!! Any type of meat is better than ANY processed, prepackaged food will benefit your health!!
Thank you Dr. Berry. Two things, first there was a report about 6 months ago that each hot dog takes 13 minutes off your life. Think I would have died in my 30s if that was true. I do like the bun and ketchup but haven't had any in 6 months. Second, in Oklahoma, the land of moo, cluck and oink..I have not found one hotdogs, sausage, ground sausage/link/patty, beef Jerry, deli meat that ingredients didn't have sugar or corn syrup or dextrose, or other sugars. It is sad, I eat occasional deli meat but start just cooking larger portion of chicken, beef, or steak and use leftovers as my lunches or following day dinners. I could all my own food, my only processed foods are greek yogurt, hard cheeses, and canned tomatoes on occasion in my cabbage soup. Trying to be good. Feb 16 started keto, down from 285 to 225, a1c down from 6.4 to 5.3, blood sugar down from 160 to below 80. 40 lbs to go..
Let's agree to disagree.
It's from my personal experience.
I used to buy sausage of about 12oz. It doesn't require keeping in cool place as it has plenty of different food preservatives. I usually eat it in a couple of days.
Once I did an experiment. I ate whole sausage in 1 day.
I felt very bad for an entire week. It wasn't about meat, but how much trash additives they add in there.
It was a good, but hard lesson for me and I am not going back.
Where would we be without Dr. Berry??? Saving lives every freaking day. Absolute Godsend. Thank you for all of your work, good sir!
I looked at pictures of myself from a year ago and from a week ago with 40 pounds gone from doing ketovore and whole foods. The transformation is amazing. I'm not afraid of the camera anymore.
Thank you, Dr. Berry, for introducing me to this lifestyle.
Thanks to dr berry I don't run from cameras anymore either. There was a period of time in my life you can't find one picture of me. I guess I didn't want any record of being so overweight.
@@lindaa2437 Same. I looked at myself and immediately thought Oompa Loompa. I also went on a hike with my daughter last year and couldn't even make it halfway up the hill. This year, I took that same hike and not only made it up the hill, but over the hill, down the other side of the hill to the Salt Lake, and back up and over the hill again.
@@queenvashtiful So happy for you!!! That is some accomplishment!👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
THANK YOU for this!! I am in a decent financial position right now. I'm not rolling in it, but I'm doing o.k. This has not always been the case. When my son was very young we were VERY poor. I remember one time I counted all the small bills, coins, down to the last penny hiding in the couch cushions, for grocery money. I managed to scrounge up $7 to buy a weeks worth of groceries. A package of (cheap) hotdogs was 2 meals. I don't remember everything else I bought with that $7, but I know there wasn't a lot of meat.
When I first started on this path, the gentleman I first came across on YT was pushing the grassfed meat, grassfed butter, organic, etc. I remember asking if it had to be the expensive "grassfed" stuff. He gave no sympathy to anyone who couldn't afford it. In spite of his attitude I still switched to butter, just the cheaper store brand. And my meats? Well I have my own steer in the freezer right now, but before he went to "freezer camp" I was buying mostly reduced meats. And I still do, got over $50 worth today. This way of eating WORKS, even if you can't afford the "best".
Awesome video! I think many of us poor Carnivores were wondering, esp. if we handle spices well, if we "violated" the Carnivore creed and were hurting ourselves with plants by eating spices, celery salt or nitrates!
I’m so happy you made this ! This means so much to so many need a change but think they can’t afford it !
Thank you. Thank you. I was tying myself into knots trying to figure out ways to cut out the processed meats, even though they were what kept me going on keto and ketovore towards carnivore, I definitely cannot afford rib eye or many types of steaks. Just one or two rib eyes cost my whole weekly food budget. Now processed meats are not cheap either these days, but I find just a few ounces really satiating. Add in a few whole eggs, fried or boiled, and I have a great meal. And easy.
Same here, and you can't beat the ease and convenience!
Bacon, eggs, butter, low carb sausage, salami, ground beef are all good. I also like crispy bacon with cabbage cooked together in an air fryer, amazing!!!
For processed meat like bacon or sausage, I look for the ones with the cleanest and recognizable ingredients. Other than that I went from 230 pounds at highest during my high school to a lean and strong 143 pound guy in college. I thank ground beef, turkey bacon, and eggs for transforming my whole life even on a college budget. I did have ice cream and ribeye steak on occasion but at least it's sustainable and cheaper than SAD diet.
I have had 2 steaks, 4 pork chops and now am enjoying a can of Mackerel. Lovin the life! Recommend people to your channel every day. Thank you lots for all you do!
I eat hot dogs and sausage all the time. My 12 year old daughter tries to live on hotdogs. I try to eat a steak at least once every couple of weeks. But for the most part it’s hamburger, hotdogs, sausage, pork chops and as little chicken as possible. But when I do get chicken I get thighs or quarters. Not much lean, white meat. I’ve felt so much better since I quit all the veg and grains. Thank you Dr. Berry for your honest take on nutrition.
It’s about eliminating the carbs! Thank you Dr Berry!
Thanks for addressing this Dr. Berry! My usual dinner consists of 3-4 hamburgers, or bacon & eggs. I eat sooooo many eggs! I also try to throw in a ribeye or salmon once a week to add variety. But for work lunch it can be tricky- so I do hard boiled eggs, a can of tuna and some kind of processed meat for the most part. Oftentimes I have felt guilty for not eating a "clean" carnivore diet, but you have made me feel better about it.
omg. Get a fxxxxxx apple or come to Europe.
Salmon once a week and tuna a few times a week. Are you concerned about mercury poisoning?
@@markwallace1505 Thanks for leaving this comment!I was unaware of this concern. I have definitely cut back.
@@suebandy5718 You can switch to smoked mackerel (the small ones not the king ones) if you want to enjoy safer healthy fish. The small ones do not contain nearly as much heavy metals as the big fish such as tuna which eat so many smaller fish that they bio-accumulate lots of toxins. Also herring, sardines and anchovies are healthy options.
@@rxappdev Thank you!
Dr Berry, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm sharing this video with all my income challenged friends and I'm the leader lol. This video was right on time!!!
Like always thank you again Dr. Berry. I have been keto for five years now and now I've started to eat more on the carnivore diet. I tell everyone I can about you and your wife Neisha. You both have helped me so much and I'm so excited that more people are believing what you have been teaching now. Please keep on. I love you both. Because you have helped me so much.
Pork roasts at my supermarket are regularly under $2 per pound. Slow cooked in the oven for about 3 hours and you have some excellent eating. Its a lot cheaper than $6/pound lunch meat and hot dogs (which I still eat)
Thank you so much for thinking about everyone on the socioeconomic scale. The average person can't afford Butcher Box and all the other expensive things that are pushed through CZcams. You are so Down to earth and encouraging! With inflation being what it is, it's hard enough to live, therefore grass fed, grass finished etc... Should not and is not on the top of the list. Many people are just just surviving and you make it possible for all of us to take measures to become healthier without all the hoopla!
you can't afford fxxxxxx fruit and veg or what?!
@@derek3396what you said is not good. If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all!! 😮
Well...
I've been on the carnivore diet, since last summer, and have unintentionally lost forty pounds. Plus, my BP & A1C have normalized. Although, I was stretching my budget. for several months. Because I was buying and eating grass-fed meat, eggs & butter. Although, I, most definitely, am not well-off enough, to afford weekly purchases of grass-fed cow meat, eggs, etc. Consequently, per, this video, it's sufficient if I buy and eat cheap meat that's low in carbs, each week. If so, that's awesome and alleviates the pressure, to live beyond my means, just to maintain optimal health. Consequently, this information from Dr. Berry, is like, a breath of fresh air!!💯
Beware of the fillers in bologna etc. I can't find any without carb fillers. Read the labels.
...which means sugars
Thanks for addressing this!! I have heard several carnivores who are getting good results and are eating processed meats!! Appreciate your input on this!! Especially as a senior relying on social security!! I feel blessed that I can usually afford ground beef, especially on sale, and am NOW able to cook and do the clean up!! You are helping SO MANY PEOPLE!! GOD BLESS YOU!! ❤🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've always been appreciative of your way of thinking about people can't afford grass feed grass finished meats like myself, you might be the only Dr. Keto on CZcams that at least try to be in our shoes...thanks
Thanks Dr. Berry! I’m always pointing folks of all socioeconomic stature to your channel. Very helpful.
🏴 Hello from England. I have been following you for about two years. Your objective / non biased clearly communicated videos are excellent. Thank you.
I struggle to follow Dr. Berry’s advice (eating meats and staying away from carbs), but when I do, I feel better and my blood sugar is regulated WAY better
You really shouldn't be "struggling ". I believe it's liberating . Unless you enjoy taking prescriptions and leg amputations. 😮
Well...so what does that say to you? I understand the struggle you go through to live a reduced or carb free life. I will never go back to the painful inflamatory conditions I suffered for most of my adult life. I've had bi laterial knee surgery 22 years ago.
(2 knees replaced) Been type 2 diabetic. Not seeing those numbers anymore! I had half my thyroid removed.. and other surgeries...thank goodness my thyroid is still functioning beautifully! I don't ever feel deprived leaving the SAD way of eating behind...
Good luck to you on the way to be a healthier you. You can do this.
I know the feels. There are afternoons, tho not many, that I want a little pizza & beer down the street.
You did not say how long you've been eating zero carb....it did take me a couple months to curb cravings but now 2 yrs later, zero cravings or even temptations even if it's right in front of me. It IS so liberating.....I rarely think about food anymore. Some days I naturally fast bc I'm just not hungry and forget to eat. Age 64 and started to reverse a myriad of health issues...the 88 lb wt loss was just a bonus 😊
@@marianne1959 part of my issue is that I live with three other people. Two of them are National class athletes (not quite world class) and they eat a fair amount of carbs by design. I lowered my A1C from 9 something to 6 something in only 3 months without any medicines. I felt better and was healthier. But I regressed back to “normal” eating and have been that way for about a year. When I was in the right frame of mind, it was easy. I need to get back there.
Thank you this was awesome, everyone only talk about all the expensive cuts of meat, I was truly afraid that I would not be able to maintain this lifestyle. Thank you so much doc, I started yesterday so i am excited about this information , My doctor gave me a prescription for weight loss medication, she said see you in 3 months, my health improvements won't be due to weight loss drugs❤
I’m able to be 100% carnivore on a very small pension. I only buy eggs, hamburger, bacon and butter. I started almost a year ago (aug1, 22)…. I’m not bored and I feel amazing. I spent almost twice as much when I was a vegetarian.
Best wishes and good luck!
@@canadianalien370 I agree with you. I spend less now as a Ketovore than I spent before. No junk food and trashy cereal. I buy bread only for my husband. No potatoes which once were cheap, now are not. I buy few processed foods, for him only except i eat hotdogs.
@@ianstuart5660 thank you so much I appreciate you.
@@canadianalien370 WTG..
I agree with you 100 percent doctor. Its getting harder to find processed meats without the corn syrup. Bacon is still my number one meat to help me with my insulin resistance followed by ground beef and then butter. Thanks for the info
My dog is on my carnivore diet she’s feeling so much better and now her breath doesn’t smell like dead fish, her fur is better and soft, her teeth are good and she don’t lick her paws all day long. She’s 10 and the vet asked me what I feed my dog 🐶 thanks to all whom share these great stories of success ❤
We started with just beef and financially had to add in other meats including hot dogs, lunch meat, bologna and pepperonis. We are still getting amazing results 6 months in!👏 I'm so grateful to find this way of eating! Thanks for encouraging and not judging the inability to eat grass-fed at this time in our lives. 🥰
processed meats cause cancer. Whole food plant based diet can clean that out if you start now.
We are doing our best right now in the shape things are in. My husband cured his diabetes by eating dirty keto/carnivore not the best meat. He's no longer on medication. I'm so glad you have shared this. 🥲 I have beat myself up because things have been so hard. We bought a cow and shared the meat with other family members. We still eat lunch meat and hot dogs and bologna which I'm from the south, you eat fried bologna. Lol I'm letting the guilt go and do the best we can do. Thank you
The processed meat thing is no different than how they told us how all saturated fat will give you a heart attack and for us old heads, the food pyramid that told us eating tons of bread and all the other carbs at the top of the pyramid is what would help us live to 100. Its all about the money in the food industry!
Yep, but probably more devious than just the financial aspects!
The food pyramid is the same pyramid the illuminati use to represent their not so secret organization anymore order ! 😲 lol .
The problem with processed meats is that almost all sausages and frozen burgers have added soy to them, or have added seed oil. Cold cuts and bacon at least don't have that, but still loaded with E250.
It was the same for me. I was living a poor paycheck to paycheck life and the only thing I could afford was bacon, ham, cheapest meat and cheese, etc. I was never overweight because I always avoided sugars, but I had so many health problems, because of eating a cheap diet low in nutrients.
Increasing meat saved me.
The worst meat is better than no meat.
My life experience. But very hard to communicate to those who are afraid of antibiotics or feeding practices, etc.
Well,Dr Berry you just made my day , and relieved some anxiety because sometimes, i have to eat processed meat, depending on my budget.
Thank You.
Thank you Doc! A lot of us needed to hear this!
Thanks. I saw you this morning on Uncover DC with Tracy Beanz. Awesome interview!
Thank you!!!! This is the most heartening carnivore doc video I have seen so far, and I must have seen a hundred at this point.💜❤️💚💚💖👌👍
Thank you, doctor. Oh boy, did I need to see this. My Dr wants me eating low carb to lower my A1c and I’m a senior on Social Security. One of my favorite meals is hot dogs with sauerkraut. Delicious and probiotic to boot.
Stick to the dogs and get rid of the sauerkraut. While it may serve as a probiotic, the toxins in sauerkraut may counteract the good it provides. True carnivore is meat only. My health improved dramatically when I got rid of all plants.
Surprised that you're doctor told you to eat low carbs. That's awesome. Most doctors don't say that.
No, most doctors say eat beans and grains and lots of veggies and whole wheat breads and sweet potatoes etc.... not my doctor, not anymore. I showed her alright, lol... now she is on par with a low carb and carnivore diet and suggests it to other she a specialist in diabetes and Im so glad I helped her learn the truth!!!
Very interesting. I'd also point out that in the UK tinned sardines and mackerel are exceptionally good value especially in the best shops like Lidl and Aldi. Also they don't have nitrites so provide good variety.
I love kippers! When they go on sale, I buy a bunch. Canada
your idea of eating sardines is the smartest thing I've read from any of the ridiculous comments. i don't care what anyone says, bologna and salami and hotdogs just aren't good for you. once in a while okay, the nitrates are just bad.
Thank you for pointing this out to people, I have been trying to tell friends and family this for a long time.
Thank you once again! Having only started the Carnivore Lifestyle Apr 1st, 2023 I can testify first hand that I'm spending about 1/3rd or less money than before having started it. Now, I'm not normal having had a gastric by-pass about 15 years ago (yes more healthy on Carnivore rather than the by-pass) but because i eat less because of it, I also eat less with Carnivore due to eating more healthy thus don't need to fill up on garbage that actually makes me hungrier. So, i have two things working for me financially, one being a pouch to fill rather than a stomach, and the second being #2 healthy food rather than junk. Thanks again for WONDERFUL videos!
I would love for Dr berry to do a video about pork. Alot of us have been taught family that if you eat to much pork you will get high blood pressure mainly in the black community
I really appreciate that you have been addressing what people can afford. It’s much appreciated! I started Carnivore three weeks, fell off two days, besides losing 6 pounds my skin is no longer flaking which I knew was an early sign of diabetes. TY again.
Thank you so much for being so real and giving advice to the less financially advantaged
Bless you Dr. I have been on a modified Keto and Carnivore diet that has been composed of farm raised salmon and hamburger (now 80/20 instead of leaner blends) and it has worked! I still watch a lot of videos about grass fed this and wild caught that, but you hit the nail on the head; and by the way I never eat before 15 to 17 hours after my last meal of the day. Thank you!
✨How to make a cheap cut of meat taste like an expensive steak:. Jon Kung has a video:. Reverse Sear. ✨ Unbelievable how delicious and tender! I get several meals out of Chuck roast and other cheap cuts.
Also I've come to really appreciate Sardines and use them in place of tuna.
Well said. I agree 100%, and that agreement comes from me losing 80 pounds by eating meat.
Thanks for the clarification on this situation where many aren’t sure what’s good for you, or not.
This is such a relief 🥲
Laura Spath has said this on her channel too - she’s happy to go for bargain cuts and is sure it’s still helping her without supplements.
Eat what your body needs in moderation. There is not one diet that isn’t trashed by someone else. If God put it on the earth and gave us teeth to eat it then eat it. The way it is made for consumption is probably more of the problem.
I subscribed to this channel after meeting DR Ken at Carmax Murfreesboro a few years back . Well 10 days ago I started a Keto diet and was amazed to see that I lost 10 pounds in 8 days. I have RA, an auto immune disease..... well for the first time in years I have no joint pain anywhere!!!! So glad I got into this, thanks Dr Berry
" in 8 days. I have RA, an auto immune disease..... well for the first time in years I have no joint pain anywhere"
That was very fast. How are you now?
I'm down over 40 pounds and working out like I haven't been able to in over 10 years. I'm 62 now and daily carry out 70 push ups without a rest. I am back doing pullups, chinups and all kinds of things that for the past few years have been impossible. I also quit all alcohol, that probably helps too.@@Individualati
Thank you Dr Berry. This was so encouraging.
Wow! Incredible info.! Thank you
I do love my lunch meats, beef jerky and sausages. Glad to enjoy them periodically without guilt. 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video. You reassured me that I am eating the best I can for my body. From the beginning, I shop sales and buy the best I can afford and yes, sometimes that includes hotdogs. I lost 70 lbs in 6 months and after a year and a half I am off of all of my medication. I finally feel like my younger self did and have a brighter outlook on the future. Once again, thank you so much.
Big congrats to you!
Great video, Dr Berry!!
Thanks Sooooooooo much doctor Berry for all your advice to the community that listens to you ❤
Thanks so much for repeating this very important info, Dr. Berry. I've been having this debate with a lot of people, but especially those who say that keto/carnivore diets are too expensive. This info puts a stop to those arguments very effectively!
By cutting out snacks, sodas, alcohol etc. eating keto/carni for me isn't more expensive than the SAD-diet.
I appreciate your content and advice!
What an eye-opener! I hadn't the foggiest idea that highly processed meats would be an ok option (not the best, but an acceptable, viable option). Thank you!
Greetings from Poland !
Dear Dr Ken Berry,
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with us !
I am just starting the carnivore diet, I am on second day today and have noticed small benefits staight away 😃
I will share how is it going with me after one week or so... cause I have quite few health problems. and I am happy to contribute my experience to this great channel.
All the Best !
Agnes
