The Carnivore Diet is Dumb, I Once Said (Why I was wrong)

- In the fall of 2017 when momentum around Carnivore was building, I thought it was the dumbest thing ever.
Why did I think that? My biases and belief system at the time prevented me from being open to learning new ideas!! I was being irrational. I immediately saw all the problems without considering any upsides.
Maybe you have some vegan friends who are in this same boat, and we can learn from my mistakes.

Weirdly, by you owning up to mistakes means I will continue to trust your advice in the future. Since it shows you are evidence driven.
I subscribed for this very reason. Checks and balances, we must all do it every day. Being self aware is in such short supply these days
Thats cause you are smart, fools preffer to trust people who sounds 100% confident no matter how complex a topic may be.
Admitting a mistake is actually a virtue. No reason be ashamed!
Great video Mike!
Not really because he's an idiot and he's wrong. He also looks at least his age if not older. We're not carnivores and anyone who thinks a carnivore diet is healthy is an absolute delusional moron.
@@LumieX his wife looks 10-20 years younger.
He hasn't been doing carnivore that long.
His wife has.
Anyways, you seem to be making the exact same mistakes he was doing before. You're absolutely biased against carnivore.
You're not listening to both sides.
Only one side. He's admitted to his mistakes. Maybe you will too, someday.
@@bullymaguire2061 Dude, we're not carnivores. We don't have claws. We don't we have fangs. We don't have the stomachs necessary to eat raw meat hence why we have to cook the meat unlike every single animal meant to eat a carnivorous diet. It's a moronic diet. If a plant based diet is bad for you then explain people like Anette Larkins.
Entranced keep eating plants only if you feel good about it! In vertebrae however there is a high inverse correlation between colon size and amount of energy they get from fibrous material. Since the human colon is a joke (sizewise) we can't benefit from gras, leafs and other fiber (in any way that would have been conceiveable for our ancestors the last million years or so at least.... the value of having a bowel movement every two hours would most likely not have been obvious to them :-)
Other plant material (the sugary/starchy part) was only available in tropical region throughout the year (and even there in much more limited quantities than in todays supermarket) - and just kills most peoples liver, pankreas and makes them fat.... if you are not among them: good for you - but you will most likely discover that you are 10 or 20 years down the road. And nobody on a sugar based diet can go for a day or two without food without going awol! That would just not fly in any conceivable environment in the last 500.000 years. (Even if in your mind they were going with the seasons from the pineapple to the banana plantation and back.)
There have been several studies hinting at the necessety of meat in the human diet for decent brain function (shrunk brains in long time vegetarians that were submitted autopsy after their demise, significantly improved brain function in vegetarians when being put on a meat derived supplement scheme (acetyl-l-carnitine for example).
Lastly: I have been putting out a challenge to any vegan to beat me in 6 out 11 randomly picked real sports (and I'm not superawesome in any sport) but so far noone wanted to risk their money.
Love the many EX-VEGAN stories on CZcams how being vegetarian has destroyed many people's mental and physical health Meat saved my life not doctors not plants meat cured my asthma of 50 yrs
After a year and a half on Keto, Carnivore transformed my life. Highly recommend. Acid reflux disappeared. Mood elevated. Athletic performance and recovery was phenomenal! Thanks for your hard work!🔥

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

@@intrinsicfactor5425 Haha, never checked. I don't believe in blood-type diets. Perhaps personality, but not diet. We are born into the same world with the same access to very similar nutrition specifically designed for our bodies/ paradigm...
You don't see one wolf preferring "more leafy greens" and more "white meat" over his pack...
Just like the whole "genetic" diet gimmick. Sure the meat sources change, perhaps even indigenous plants, but there's nowhere on Earth we can't go and thrive depending if we balance and harmonize correctly according to the environment and our nutritional needs, imo...
Intrinsic Factor I am why?
I was so wrong on my diet for 50 years . Now , two years on carnivore, and feel and perform in every aspect better , than I was 17 .
The most difficult 3 words for a man to say are “I was wrong.”
Coincidentally, the three words women can't say...lol.
We almost got there. We almost said ‘people’.
Next time.
"Man" has another definiton, you know, "a human being of either sex; a person."

@@daimahou3951 it has another definition, but is that really what Justin meant and what High intensity Health thought of when he liked the comment or when sexist Johnny brought up women because what else could he talk about bitterly to?

LMAO!
I had a vegetarian friend whom I explained all the defence mechanisms of the plants using scientific reasearch papers ( we're both medical students ) and told him to be careful and supplement(Specially minerals) if he doesn't want to eat animal foods because of his beliefs, his response was " are you saying plants are evil?! "
I know, annoying right! just another falacy! fast forward 6-7 months he got diagnosed with iron deficiency (I should mention this the guy was already diagnosed with depression), he is still vegetarian and thinks we need to evolve to eat only plants, like evolution is that simple, and he's overseening the fact that we evolved because we started consuming animals.
My experience taught me to do what's best for me and not get involved in others business, unless they ask me what it is that I'm doing, you can't change people who are zelous about something, whatever that might be.
🙏 agreed!
The problem is that THEY like to get involved in other people's business...
I have vegan friends and they think I'm evil 🙄
There literally is no proof that eating meat made us human.
@@nickgregoris maybe I should have been more clear that I was referring to the expensive tissue hypothesis, which is as it says, a hypothesis, there is no way that you can prove without a shred of a doubt that yes we evolved because we did this or that ( unfortunately ) but N15 isotopes and some compelling evidence suggests that consuming energy dense animal fats might have played a key role. But can you say that was the only reason, of course not! that's why everyone should try for themselves and if they benefit from it they can decide what to do next.
@@hadihoseinzadehsalaleh269 @Hadi Hosseinzad it's true, that's one theory... Another theory is we increased our consumption of starch once we learned to cook it. We have much more salivary amylase than the other apes, which likely means our consumption of starches increased.
If we only increased our consumption of meat, we wouldn't have developed the stronger salivary amylase.
It's clear that both meat and plants played a role in our evolution. I think the bigger and more important question is are we healthier when we eat more plant centric or animal centric.
No data at this point points to an animal centric diet being more healthy than a plant centric one.
Carnivore is just easy! Slap a steak on your plate and you're done! I love the convenience of it, especially for camping.
I wish every human would deeply think about how beliefs enslave oneself. Less judgment and more open-mindedness would flourish.
I just started OMAD carnivore and have been having amazing results. When I was a kid, they used to call me "the meat eater" but as a young adult I fell into the trap of vegetarian nutrition ideology and wrecked my health for a while. I can't express how GOOD it feels to be able to sit down and eat a meal that I love every bit of because it just satisfies me, all while getting amazing benefits (skin clearing up, mood is more stabilized, less inflamed). It's just good to not feel bad about eating food that my body needs, but instead to know that it's the right food and it's nourishing.
I might recommend Glenn Reynolds’ “The Social Media” upheaval.
He talks about how social media is altering people’s cognition to make them more tribal and dogmatic about virtually anything, no matter trivial.
I think people want to belong so badly, that they latch onto almost any pretext to join a group, any group based on any shared perspective or idle interest. It’s easy and rush free to violently disagree with people online, but doing so in a group feeds it be need to be part of a dominate group.
We have to individually discipline our selves not to succumb to bias behaviors when the Internet makes that so easy.
!OK OK! Love it, thanks
Well said.
I switched to keto from standard diet a 4 year ago and switched to keto carnivore abour 1 year ago. I mean I had benefits from keto but with carnivore I am doing really better than keto. I was still having alot of so called keto desserts etc.
My husband has a weird autoimmune disease and was on steroids for 4 years. He finally got off of the damn steroids last month. Hugh thanks to carnivore diet. Definitely I will stick to carnivore for the rest of our lives.
No more keto sugar cravings.
We all make mistakes. Learning something from mistakes is more important than making mistakes itself.
Your wife looks definitely great and healthy.
Listen to people when they speak, it’s possible they may actually tell you something you didn’t already know (Jordan Peterson)
I reserve the right to be wrong (Paul Saladino)
Words to live by!
Jordan Peterson is going through massive benzo withdraw from addiction, Yeah, I'm sure he knows what he's talking about. He also had a very rough time with covid, truly healthy people do not have a rough time with covid. Preaching that your diet is healthy while you are depending on benzos = hypocrisy. His daughter is experimenting with adding fruit here and there because she wasn't feeling great, she's been having severe sleep issues. Won't speak about Saladino since I don't know much about him but I don't trust the Petersons.
Maria N sounds like you don’t know much about any of them
brave man! 💓 I'm a Japanese dietitian and I love your channel. I understand exactly how you feel. Gee, nutrition science really is hard and can be really controversial. Thank you so much for everything you mentioned in this video.
I lost 4 stone doing carnivore. more out of desperation as other things couldn't work for me, its okay to change options on things in life it doesn't make people weak it makes you stronger.
Jack Thomas I want to try the same. Can you give me some tips and pointers?
Carnivore was my last resort too.. epilepsy, hypothyroid, 17.6st, aches and pains, depression etc.. I felt like I was dying. 10/12/2019, I went cond turkey carnivore, I've lost 50lb so far and suffer no more with any issues I used to have. I'm a brand new person! Carnivore is life ❤️
For me I struggle between keeping an open mind vs not being mentally exhausted from researching so much. I’m ketovore so I definitely lean more towards carnivore, and I really do try to stay open-minded, but I just don’t have the energy to sift through all the information that’s available. There are SO many studies, some more in support of plant-based, some more in support of meat-based, and filtering through all the information to find the truth can get so exhausting. So sometimes I do tend to block opposing views out because of this. I just figure if I eat a diet that makes me feel great, and my bloodwork looks great, then I’m probably doing something good for my health.
Great inside on your sight for overcoming the echochamber and to think for yourself. Respect.
I'm on keto for 5 months now plus 16hrs intermittent fasting daily 7days a week and have done 2x 72hrs water fasts feel like newborn not planning to stop.any time soon.👍💪
I have learned so much from you in the last couple years Mike as well as several others including Shawn Baker Ken Berry dr. Berg you guys are all great thank you for taking the time and make them the videos and doing all the research you do! It has made a huge difference in my health and my outlook on life thank you!

I find Sten Ekberg far outshines Eric Berg.
The key is to have an open mind and see what diet works best for each person. There is no need to be closed minded and to push our dietary beliefs on to others, or to put them down for what they eat. To each his own, and follow whatever works best for you.
I appreciate your honesty and delivery of evidence based information. This is why I follow your channel. Keep up the good work!
I was skeptical of it last summer as well. I'd done keto/low-carb a few times and was never really 100%. Once I dropped the fibrous veggies and peanuts, almonds, and cashews - I felt better and better. I'd say I'm about 90% carnivore with occasional things like cucumber or coconut flour. It keeps me sane and do feel the negative effects though the next day. Thanks for sharing and really appreciate your content and channel.
it's not your fault. I think you've managed to get rid of the last bit that we're all programmed from a young age. congratulations!
Mike, one of the things that took me a long time to understand more clearly is how well meaning government policy (whether it's food pyramid, urban planning and zoning, or farm subsidies) can cause such a detrimental effects. These policies mean so well, but the negatives are every bit as deleterious to society as the maladies they were designed to prevent, if not more so.
if you think the govt does it because they're well meaning, you're delusional. if they were well meaning they wouldn't have fake science into it. and just wouldn't release any guidelines if they weren't 100% sure it's good for you.
The government does not have our best interests at heart. They are psychopaths, and all they want is money, control and power. Don't get it twisted.
I spent many years as a vegetarian when it wasn’t fashionable and a year as a vegan. I took a fair amount of abuse for it , I didn’t try to convert anyone Now I am no longer a vegetarian and eat low carb high fat and the criticism I get is much the same. It does make me smile when people haven’t the experience to be in my shoes and tell me to be a vegan like its new. Youth is about extremes and it’s just part of development it’s a lot rarer that people try to convert others as they age. My views on most things are now significantly different. We will never cure polarity we’ve just got to roll with it. Now I know from experience the mistakes I’ve made and no amount of opinion will change that. I so appreciate your honesty and humanity. Defensiveness and the need to be right is a road to nowhere good.
Same story here. After decades of being vegetarian I went mostly carnivore at 63. Meat agrees with me...that's the bottom line.
Very well said 😊
I guess dietary fashionability depends on where one lives. I was vegetarian back in the 1990s. And here in this college town at the time vegetarianism was fashionable. Both of my brothers have been vegetarian for decades. I used to hang out with lots of vegetarians and vegans in the early Aughts. Such diets have been common around here for a long time.
We all need to recognize/identify our own biases. We all have them and confirmation bias is a dangerous path we are all susceptible to being prejudiced.
I am restarting Carnivore today, this very morning, because I know it is the best dietary method in response to sloughing inflammation as well as using it to reverse metabolic disease or disorders. OMAD, for me, is difficult initially, but once a person has acclimated, it’s almost second nature. We originated from “Feast or Famine” since our ancestors. Thank you, Mike, for uploading this video. It’s supportive right when I needed it the most.
Best of luck! I strayed back to keto myself and I'm returning to 90% Carnivore. The anti-inflammatory benefits are quite substantial! Cheers🥩
This is such a magic combination for me too (low carb/keto with OMAD, IF). The science really needs to catch up with this, all the vegan push was annoying me. Not all of us can graze on fruit and carbs all day and feel good. It makes me exhausted to have to prepare multiple snacks/meals and causes me to binge because only protein and fat really satiate me.
Paleo diet is much better
I don't like calling myself carnivore even though 9 meals out of 10 are completely animal based. I agree with Paul Saladino that vegetables and fruits are survival foods. But we have a problem in modern society we rarely have survival situations. So once or twice a month I'll throw in some fruit or veg. But I have incredible endurance on animal based
I think that people become closed minded from fear. I have seen it in myself and in others in all areas of life...religion, politics, health, etc. As I get older (65), I have learned to observe myself...be the witness of myself. That's when I feel free to make changes. Mike, I love hearing your wisdom that you are acquiring in your 'older age'! Thanks so much. I always appreciate you.
Really! Have you found that that close mindedness has changed or gotten worse over the last several decades? (I’m 20, so I haven’t seen it much any other way.)
Way to be real Mike! Awesome. Just decided earlier this week to make a commitment of 3 months to the Carnivore diet. Curious.
and hows it going?
Be proud of changing your views! It's the sign of an open mind, willing to incorporate new information and ideas. I'm also mostly carnivore, but greatly enjoy a side of cabbage and the occasional apple or pear. Eating should be a pleasure, not a chore.
You had to bring up vegans do you? Now CZcams is gonna demonetise this video 😂
Lmao!

No hard feelings Mike. Apology accepted😉
Some of us have been in this mindset of listening to those we disagree with intentionally to challenge our beliefs. If you aren't able to stand in the face of challenging info and have a willingness to listen AND learn then you REALLY don't hold your beliefs strongly enough. Just my opinion but also something I was raised with. 💪🏻🥩👍🏻
Mike not sure if you remember us but you used to be our rep when you worked for Xymogen.... Jason and Cassie Kremer w/Wellness Doctor. I love this video! My sisters naturopath put her on a 30 day carnivore diet last year to help with some chronic GI issues and when she called to tell me what she was doing I flat out told her that I didn’t think it was healthy. She did it and, amazingly enough, her GI issues all improved dramatically. The next month I decided to give it a try, also for 30 days, and I’ve honestly never felt better. For me it didn’t feel maintainable, however since then I’ve done another 30 day stint and I plan to do it a couple of times per year. I’m right there with you... seems totally unhealthy with everything we know about fiber, antioxidants and nutrition in general but I can honestly say I feel my best on a
carnivore diet.
I’m closed minded about how awesome your videos are. So good. Can’t change my mind.
What made me open my mind to the carnivore diet are interviews of Zsófia Clemens from the International Center for Medical Nutritional Intervention. A Hungarian clinic has years of positive outcomes with thousands of patients. Apparently leading medical journals turn down their submitted papers without explanations. When I watch what Dr. Noakes and Dr. Fettke went through, I wonder how much published material is based on financial interest rather than genuine science. I don’t know where to look for research financing that doesn’t have strings attached. I am thankful to social media even though it too must be filtered.
I tried the carnivore diet for a little over a year and i was very strict, i also included organ meats (kidney, liver and brain) bone broths and fish in the form of sardines in spring water, went full carnivore with no vegetables or fruit. But also included full cream milk and natural yogurt. And at first I also tried eating only one meal a day, but this made me feel sick because I did eat too much so after about 3 mths switched to eating 2 meals a day. For the first 6 mths I lost weight felt great and slept deeply.
Then I slowly stated gaining weight again and felt tired and drained and after another six mths I had gained back all the weight I had lost plus an extra 10 kg, could not find the energy or motivation for exercise. Basically my body crashed.
My conclusion is that people on the carnivore diet have cheat days where they consume hidden carbohydrates either unconsciously or they just lie, and that the body actually needs carbohydrates mixed with fiber, and that a balanced diet is animal/fish based with maybe 20% to 30% from vegetables, grains and fruits.
I remember you saying that and you were mad about having put so much money into your gardens. I was already a carnivore and had so may positive changes that I had to strongly disagree with you, 2.5 years later..... still going strong!
Cant wait to see the Stephanie Person interview. I pretty much just decided to follow her after a long time doing keto, switched to carnivore and saw she also did. But it goes against everything i learned. I want to understand her. The more i listen the more i question everything ive been doing til now.
She eats avocados.
Emma Leyva yes for potassium.
@@emh8861 yup no such thing as carnivore police, everyone has to find whats best for them and not wreck their health following a diet religion. Been there done that!
Mike, just wanted to say that hearing you talk so open-minded gives me the strength to continue being more open-minded in a world that is mostly closed minded.
The only issue I've had with carnivore was the 9 weeks of diarrhea that seems to finally be over I hope, and the fact that my lips are peeling. I think it's probably because of all the salt that everybody keeps telling me I need to eat, so I'm going to cut back on that and see what happens.
I certainly appreciate anyone that says "I was wrong and here's why and I'm willing to learn". When you told that story about you being too critical and attacking back people that just didn't agree with you, it was a great indicator. People that are not willing to hear the argument (even if after they disagree) and just spew out words defending themselves, are not even worth talking to. And that has been one of the hardest reasons why a lot of people, even seeing the evidence, will never go carnivore--not even paleo/low carb/keto.
I have a question for you: were you able to kinda question your bias because it was a male and he was in shape (i.e. Shawn Baker)? Would you've been willing to listen if it was a woman or a non-athletic person?
This video really nailed it for me. I am tired of everyone telling everyone that "this such-and-such-a-way is the perfect way to eat". I agree 100% that we are all different, which includes different body compositions and different health challenges, we are also at different stages of life and different places on our journery toward being our healthiest self we can be. I also fall into the trap when I find something that really works for me... it is hard to not think that everyone should do what I do so they can feel like I feel. The truth is they could feel worse if they did what I did. You said this all so well. Thanks so much!!
Another great video!
Ultimately we need to be the change we want to see in people.
If I knew someone on a specific way of eating that looked healthy with great digestion and blood work then whichever diet they’re on is good for them.
Carnivore for 2 years, complete reversal of pre diabetes, gerd ,chronic gut issues, gallstones, eczema, depression, anxiety, acne and brain fog
I LOVE that you were not dogmatic and were willing to change your opinion when you saw results!
Video summary:
- Shawn Baker is jacked so there must be something
- Othe people had benefits
- It's a mistake to dismiss those anecdotes
- Some friends improved their health on carnivore/OMAD
- Biases get in the way of progress, we should try things before criticizing
My humble opinion:
- I think some people have benefits on this diet, though a lot of people seem to have a lot of problems with it: diarrhea, fatigue, hair loss, constipation... just look up a fb group of carnivores and you'll see for yourself that a lot of people experience health issues due to the diet.
- Scientifically speaking, we should eat a bit of everything, and I don't understand why we should restrict ourselves to only eating animal products. On an evolutionary level, we evolved to digest carbs as well, so I don't get why we should avoid them.
Yeah im also now animal based wich is imo like 90%+ animal foods
The rest 10% is sauerkraut, i live in germany and i get so insane higj quality non-pasturized organic local sauerkraut
It is also to fill me and since its a fermentef food wich is around for a LONG time, it is a good food no matter if dogmatic carnivores wanna tell you its "pure poison"
Most people in generell all over the world can tolerate cabbage/sauerkraut especially really darn well
And it helps me out a lot, it gives bysides the awesome taste (on its own and even better with steaks) the volume too
My doctor here in America tells me I need to add sauerkraut and kimchi to my carnivore diet. There are a few saying that fermented veggies are necessary. So stick to it!
We make our own kraut, kimchi and fermented veggies. Cabbage really disagrees with our gut either cooked or raw. But fermented as a pickle or kraut is delicious, full of probiotics and doesn’t upset us at all. I’ve had sauerkraut all my life coming from a German background. We now eat some raw everyday.
@Martina S. hey martina, hoffe du sprichst deutsch wenn du schom danach fragst😅
Also im aldi z.b gibt es von "taste of ireland" steaks die ziemlich preiswert sind aber auch burger fleisch vom angus rind und die kosten gerade mal 1,89€ für 260g und ist weidehaltung
Schmecken unfassbar lecker und extrem günstig
@Martina S. I get a lot of meat from my local butcher and the website "kaufnekuh".
@Martina S. I also live in Germany, Berlin and follow a (mostly) carnivore diet. To get good grass fed meat, some Edeka and biomarkets will have Irish or Argentinian Angus, most of the time they are at least partially grass fed (not perfect, but very acceptable). But lately, I found the best option is to buy online. I tried many, many different shops, here are my favorites (just google for them): Fleish Rebellen, Green Ox, Max-Wurst, Beilerei. There are many more, but these I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Live long and prosper!
I've opened my mind so much. I had to. My body doesn't digest most foods. I can handle a little bit of plant material but not much. I felt so lost my entire life never being able to eat normal food like everyone. I had to turn to different ideas to find an answer for me. I resent anything mainstream for this reason.
My vegan neighbor just started crying when i clicked on "like". :(
Mike, you are so awesome. LOVE how you guys look at health from all different angles. I (woman) personally don't feel well strictly carnivore (possibly did not give it long enough), but I do feel good with meat and greens. My husband feels better on carnivore. It would be interesting to get an idea if the diet works better on men than women.
Watch Carnivore Yogi, Grass Fed Girl and Nutrition with Judy.
It’s a great quality to have to be open about our own biases and how it can limit our own future potential. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and greatly appreciate the work you do with this channel and the quality you bring to your viewers.
Great video Mike. I refer to the Readiness For Change model to help open minds. 💕
@high intensity health I like the openness about personal biases, it is something we are all vulnerable to. But it is a powerful reminder to just see past those biases and really look into it, and we can benefit from that.
Love you more and more everyday! I don’t know anything about microbiomes. All I know is that I was a 62 year old 300 pound diabetic with a fatty liver, neuropathy in my feet, constant skin and other infections, couldn’t walk without a cane and high BP. First went low carb, then carnivore. Lost 100 pounds, got off ALL meds and now lift weights and sprint. At 65, now aging backwards, literally.
I eat a carnivore diet,I also eat fiber such as flax and take probiotics in the form of fermented foods,,I find that moderating my carbs to leafy greens only strikes the right balance for me.
RESPECT for admitting you were wrong. I actually looked this video up because I know you do your research. I’m going to do it for 4 months. Then HEALTHY Keto. I’m starting Monday. Thanks for letting me know.
"You don't know what you don't know" 😊 Thank-you for your openess 😊
The only reason I haven't tried carnivore was for fear of permanently damaging my microbiome. Can you maybe expand on why it would be ok?
I worry about this, too! I've done a one month carnivore diet, and everything was going great, but I stopped because I started worrying about my microbiome.
For those interested in diving deeper into the carnivore diet and how the food pyramid was corrupted I highly recommend looking into Nina Teicholz and her book "the big fat surprise". Nina was on Joe Rogan a couple years ago as well. Worthwhile reading, listening, and watching.
This video prompted me to post my first ever comment. Bravo, Mike! This is courageous of you to admit to your biases and it’s a great lesson to all of us to examine our own biases and to challenge them! It’s also an example where the crazy algorithms sometimes work well, or I may never have seen this video. My trust in you has grown immensely due to your honesty and vulnerability. Thank you!
I remember your wife looking completely shredded. It was so Impressive that I'm now 90% carnivore. Occasional avacado.
Like I told you yesterday, I enjoy your videos! Especially when you are transparent or lead with data driven analysis!! Keep up the great work!
How do we conversate with people who are closed minded? Two things to consider. You only need to plant a seed and allow it to grow, you don't need to win the argument. The other conversational strategy to help people make behavior change is called motivational interviewing, but this is a 1:1 delivery and I cannot think of a way to do motivational interviewing on a platform delivery. Great content as always!
I wish everyone would deeply think about how beliefs enslave oneself. It would allow less judgement and more open-mindedness.
No reason for embarrassment. Human biology and nutrition is enormously complex and we'll still be learning, and fine tuning for many years to come. It would be boring if this was not the case.
Conversating with really close-minded people:
meet them at a level just slightly above to help them on their journey of becoming more aware.
If you would have never made that mistake, you would have never been able to realize you were wrong!
The Subject becomes Obect to the new Subect...
great Video, thanks Mike!
Mike, I so admire someone who can talk about their own cognitive dissonance. That quality is honest, principled, truthful and SO what the world needs right now. I had the same kind of embarrassing epiphany @2013, when I finally questioned my beliefs about government (all flavours) and became a voluntaryist. That is probably THE biggest and most important revelation of all, and I would encourage others to consider the principles of self-ownership and non-aggression. This isn't the first time you've blown me away with your willingness and ability to question and really think about what we all believe, so I thought I'd drop this idea your way. It's really the only peaceful, moral way to live. Anyway, cheers and thanks for all you do.
There is no greater testament to a person's intellectual integrity than the willingness to confess to the fact that they were indeed wrong about something, and are amenable to change. That alone makes you an admirable man Mike. The world needs more of this type of humility.
Never heard of you before until this moment, instantly hit subscribe you to your truth of being imperfect.
Yesss!!! Quality quality quality info. Open mind. Not afraid to admit mistakes. All those things are great human qualities i pursue. Id love to do the carnivore diet mostly egg and beef
I was hoping to hear some thoughts on MTor - and overeating protein. perhaps for longer term health and longevity? Carnivore that is limited to the right amount of protien for that person vs a carnivore that eats 3 steaks a day (exaggeration) - with potential to drive cancer etc? Just curious.
It seems that the impact of sugar (or sugar+protein) on the mTOR is much different than if you just eat meat.
Yes. Check Dr Gabrielle Lyon, she’s done a few interviews addressing this.
I love your honesty. You’re so harmonious and we could all take a look at ourselves. Thanks for the great video!
It is just a temporary elimination diet certenly not a lifelong eating style for anyone who takes care of health and longevity
Been away from your channel for months but scrolled through to see what looked interesting. Good for you making a public statement regarding a past position you held. More CZcams content creators need to follow your lead on this topic and others where they were quick to argue against anything that has even anecdotal N=1 evidence to support a thesis.
53yo, HFLC for two years, carnivore last three months...lost 50lbs (even while not appearing too overweight), IR improving, A1c trending down, BP fine, mood/sleep improvement, body composition improving...now about to have appointment with my GP to discuss my alarming high cholesterol levels....lol. Statin Rx forthcoming, I'm sure ;)
I used to be a " Raw til 4 " vegan for around 3 years. I ended up with type 2 diabetes, a fatty liver and about 50 lbs over weight. I ended up going back to the S.A.D. diet. Now I also have arthritis. The diabetes is not as bad now that I'm near ideal weight. I think my liver has improved. As of yesterday 9/13/20 I started on the "Carnivor " diet. Based on what I'm seeing on social media about carnivor, I figured I need to try it. Been struggling with low energy and joint pain from what I believe to be arthritis. I thought for sure I would be vegan for life. Now I just want to do whatever it takes to get my health back.
Now that you mention it, I've been obsessed with the relationship between diet and autoimmune flare ups. This is an interesting topic.
I suffer from hashimoto's thyroiditis and ankylosing spondylitis. In addition to having scoliosis, anxiety and depression.
Nice combination, right?
I've seen good improvement while staying on HFLC. For a couple of weeks it was difficult for me to continue in ketosis, and after consuming junk food, the symptoms of joint inflammation, pain, fatigue, constipation and brain fog became worse and I developed something similar to psoriasis, still undiagnosed.
Even after returning to ketosis, the symptoms are driving me crazy.
I am thinking of trying the carnivorous diet hoping all this will improve.
Before you do, get a full vitamin-mineral check to see where you have deficiencies. Then research what animal parts contain those vitamins-minerals. Keep up sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. It will help with transition.
@@kateaye3506 thank you for the advice! I'm actually running on some lab test to check on many related stuff!! 😁
Now on my personal playlist of advices...
Outstanding and honest video. You have a new subscriber!
You're right, Mike. People shouldn't be closed-minded. I won't hear any arguments about the benefits of close-mindedness. People shouldn't be close-minded. There must be no debate about it.
On the other hand, I, myself, was for a time closed-minded. I hesitate to say that I enjoyed being closed-minded. I used to let my mind wander for hours, when I was close-minded.
Thankfully, now, however, I've become open-minded. There's a lot less to think about, which is a good thing. I can just let everybody do what they want, without thinking about the consequences of their actions.
Thanks for being humble as always Mike, I have been on Keto/IF for 2 yrs and I believe that the reason more people who actually do weight training are moving towards carnivore, I am starting to increase my protein intake for now and use healthy fats so i feel full enough to stay full and manage low carbs before moving to full fledge carnivore lifestyle
I'm closed-minded about being open-minded. But I am open-minded about being closed-minded.
I first went vegan around the time Sean Baker went on Joe rogans podcast and I hoped he would start having issues and quit. After a few years I started feeling like crap and had to quit. He’s still going strong and he’s only improved over time. I was super wrong.
this is so true !! I adopt a philosophy of not to believe in anything but to keep learning awesome
Hi Mike, have you tried a high fat carnivore approach? Something around 85% fat, 15% protein (calories) One year on the carnivore diet and trying this ratios to see how I feel now. Just curious to hear your opinion, thanks!!
TY! Yes, personally that's what I feel best on and feel it's ideal for blood sugar for others, too! Higher protein cranks up glucose, in my experience.
Have been doing IF, keto for a month and now carnivore for 5 days. Over this period I have lost a few pounds. Yeah! Still, I have strong strong carb cravings from time to time. I would like to lose 15 lbs. How do I stay strong during this time of strict dietary eating/living.
Appreciate your humbleness on this video. Respect.
Mike, the more we listen to you the more we love you. You’re absolutely right...listen to both sides, all the info. Make up your own mind after listening to honest, knowledgeable people. Have you considered maybe doing a 6 month straight carnivore diet and posting changes and results along the way? We could all learn a lot from something like that, especially from someone with your credibility and mind set. Keep up the awesome work. We really appreciate your channel.
How the heck do you suppose we are to handle problems like environmental issues and sustain food supply if a considerable proportion of the population adopts this diet?
Every one has something to say. We the really rich people are the ones who listen. What I love about CZcams is that I have joyfull Moments listening to sincere people. I mames me feel rich. Money can't buy the feeling.of joy when I spot a sincere person
We are all biased, it's the human condition! No need for embarrassment, opening your mind and your willingness to learn makes you ahead of 99% of society!
I listen to a lot of scientific minded people. I am glad that I have found you. You're a gem in your thinking about the world.
You always show up on time..I just came from the gym where I was told after nearly 2 years of vegan keto that my body fat was that of someone twice my size. I was surprised because so far I lost nearly 90 lbs. Personally, I am not a fan of meat but have been craving it like crazy lately. So maybe I will try carnivore as long as it is chicken and fish. I am still worried about fiber as my digestive system is highly sluggish. Can you do ACV and probiotics on Carnivore?
Google Paul Saladino and fibre. Here is a video to help you out czcams.com/video/Tc6_OXArHEs/video.html
Your introduction is an accurate description of you and your views towards COVID-19. Please review it with an open mind and interview an expert in infectious disease epidemiology or immunology who has a different view to you
Ok. Should I interview one of my clients who has tested positive?
High Intensity Health No, that would be a confirmation bias anecdote, I suspect
You're the best, Mike!! 😍
God bless you for being honest.
The extreme biases on both sides, whether hard core vegan or carnivore based are BOTH sooooo much better than the worst alternative - which is exactly what our (I’m American) normal diet and way of life is for the vast majority. 😢
Awesome video Mike, it is very humbling to make such a video. You always have a great way of explaining things. Look forward to more of your content! I have been carnivore-ish for the past 6mths with good results.
Wish I could like this video 10 times.
Bravo!
You a brave man. I started IF and in and out keto(as for weekend is my whatever anytime I can eat kinda day) for sometimes like 5y now, I 24h water fasting for 2x a month.
I am in a good health. Hv a wee bit belly :) but nothing too alarming.i hv general check every 6 months.
I eat diverse source of food mix meat and legume( stir fried) and rice. Iam being careful for my food and I made my own bread and treats. I made tempeh and my own soap and personal toileteries too :) self reliance and less consumptive.
We learn, we grow, being humble and we evolve.
Great job sir.
