Just found your videos. I’m currently 283 lbs, 61 years old, pre-diabetic. Doctor wants me to start Ozempic but that’s a life of injections and side affects. No thanks. I’m starting the carnivore diet this weekend. I’m giving you a follow. You’re an inspiration.
Keep me updated! Darn sure dont get on some pills or injections when this is a natural way to lose.Go watch video I put up today and read the comments,some of the stories are awesome!
Mike you do not have a garden for the same reason why my friend Kendra "not the same Kendra helping paws". All he and his wife Carolyn eat is mostly Chicken. From their own Chickens that they raise. The live off grid in a mobile home they rebuilt completely off grid. They also live debt free.
I’ve been doing carnivore for 14 months. I’ve lost 60lbs without exercise (that’s another story) went visiting relatives for about three weeks about 1 1/2 weeks of eating ‘normal’ meals with family my stomach was screaming at me … stop eating this stuff… went back on carnivore ( got the strange looks and questions, you’re just eating ALL THAT meat. lol) yes I bought all my own groceries (meats, eggs etc) tummy and other body parts got real happy again … cheaper you betcha. No potato chips, no dips, no ice cream, no cereals, no milk, yogurt, French fries, no cookies. Add up all those snack foods and goodies, impulse buys. See how much just those items ‘cost’ and you’re still hungry! I like this lifestyle
I lost 53 pounds in 31 days on carnivore with another 50 to go, I ate regular meals for about 4 days when I got meat aversion about 2 weeks ago, I felt like crap! Sore muscles, terrible sleep, no energy. I love my junk food though and it's been a tough mental battle. Hopefully can stick with it.
I am so proud of you. I have been carnivore/ketovore for about 18 months and have lost about 150 lbs. I have 50 more to go and will no longer be officially in the obese category!!
Something I like about Dr Berry is that he suffered the same crap we're going through but found a solution that's doable and sustainable. He was overweight, pre-diabetic, suffered from terrible heart burn, etc. BUT, look at him now! He's a success. 😊
OMG WHAT A Transformation. You look so healthy. You've added years of longevity to your life I was wondering if you have lost weight you looked so much healthier. Fantasticaaaaaaa
Thank you Mike, this may be the kick in the a** I needed. I know it works, I lost 35 lbs in 3 weeks doing carnivore. Fell off the wagon hard d/t ice cream!! Time to get back on the pony for me. Congratulations and keep at it! Teresa in Maine
I hit 309 lbs and I'm 5'1". I went on keto, I lost 40 lbs in the first 3 months. I lost down to 240 and stayed there, even though I could not afford to eat keto. Bad eating habits crept back in and I've gained 20 pounds. I'm considering carnivore seriously, I think I can afford it and protein is perfect for me as I'm hypoglycemic. I do watch Dr Berry and I'm moving in the right direction again. Congrats on your progress Mike, I thought you had lost weight!
You always look good. It is wonderful that you are controlling your health issues and blood pressure, and getting those secondary ailments nipped. Diabetes is a dreadful disease. Wonderful that you feel good : )
I knew you had lost some weight👍 Keep up with the Carnivore. My son is doing it also; his wake-up call was about 6 or 7 weeks ago when he got to a hospital just in time to avoid the widow maker.
I knew you looked thinner, I knew it! Good job Mike. I love that you're doing this and that you back. I had just subscribed to your channel a few videos before you quit. I saw you with Bobblehead and thought man that guy is grouchy! Then I found your channel and it became one of my very favorites. You think a lot like I do. And of course that's a good thing!!!
congrats Mike, I am 74 and I have been on carnivore since Sept.18 2023. I lost 20 lbs but that was enough, i weigh 140 now. I never try to tell people what to do, but I secretly prayed that you would find this diet and try it. I noticed in your face that you had lost weight. This is a great way of eating and you never have to waste time trying to think of something to cook. Shopping is a breeze. I am very healthy now and I had numerous ailments going into it. All my labs are great and my doctor of 37 yrs. is very pleased for me. the only medication I take is for thyroid. Keep up the great work, you are still a young man with years ahead of you. make it your best life.
Congratulations, Mike! I think the carnivore diet is the way to go. So many have been cured with meat alone. As usual, they told us crap about meat and not just meat!
Congrats Mike!!! You got this... Before the Pandemic I lost 80 lbs just by watching what I eat and it took 5 years. but then gained 30 back during the Pandemic.. I've now lost 20 of those lbs 10 more to go to get to my 2020 weight and then I want to loose another 50!!!
I am so proud of you!!! I knew it! I could tell you had lost weight & I could tell you seemed happier!!! It is definitely a lifestyle change! I started Carnivore Jan. 27 this year & I’ve lost 52 lbs! And that is without exercise! I couldn’t do exercise because my knee was so bad! Now I can do a whole lot of activity! People think I’m crazy! But they also see my progress! I still get “experts” preaching at me about how bad meat is for me, whilst holding a bag of chips themselves! 🤦🏻♀️ Carnivore healed my anxiety, depression & inflammation! My clothes are falling off of me, even the new ones I bought just a month ago! I can’t even tell you how good I feel! I stumbled across carnivore because another homestead channel was doing it. I wasn’t subscribed to them, they were just in the “suggestion” links at the bottom of my screen. It had a thumbnail of a guy that had lost half his body weight & then from there I found Dr Berry, Dr Chaffee, & so many more! You may get haters from this lifestyle, but you’re going to inspire sooooooo many more from this video alone! You’re right, it is not expensive! I’ve helped convert a few people to carnivore because I shared my progress on my facebook page. And they, too, are seeing good results! You look great, by the way! 💪🏼👏❤️
Congratulations Mike. Your persistance and determination are paying off big. Thanks for the video. It has given me something to really consider. I turned 60 recently and need to shed some weight so life will be a little more worthwhile for me in the coming years. Best of luck and have a good one!!
I’m so happy for you. Your health is important. With beef prices, how can you manage. If you have that rare “ beef” tree out in your woods, please send me some seeds. I’ll pay shipping. Lol. 🎉🎉🎉. Good job
You look amazing. You look healthy and 10 years younger. I knew what was going on. I recognized it immediately. I Didn't want to bring attention to it. So I told Chris 😂
Carnivore here. I am disabled and went from 210 - 180. No work outs my back is a mess and can’t do much without being in pain so I take it easy and do what I can. I’m leaner and more cut then when I was younger and worked out a lot. Go figure good luck stick with it you’ll be much healthier and happier
Congrats on the weight loss. If the diet works for you, that's great. Unfortunately, I nor my husband could do that as my husband has kidney disease, and we can't have all that meat, fat, sodium, etc. Good luck on your journey. Take care Mike.
Mike CONGRATS!!!!!!! I have lived this way most of my life, when you start adding things back in to your diet, whatever you eat, eat REAL food not boxed processed food. Your body needs some carbs when you get down to where you feel good not what the insurance charts say. But if you start eating processed food you will notice how bad you feel. I'm not going to lie and tell you that I don't ever eat them, once in a while I will have something chips or something like that. OH MY GRACIOUS within a half hour my stomach is upset, I hurt all over and just don't feel good. That is usually enough to remind me for a good while. No it isn't the easiest thing to eat real food but it sure makes you feel better. It means growing your own, cooking from scratch and that kind of thing. You find that you eat simpler just because it is easier and every once in awhile you will fix yourself a fancy meal and it is good. Keep up the good work!!
Great job Mike. I will be following you and joining you on this journey. I've been too big too long! I am blessed to have a doctor that is very supportive and knowledgeable re the Carnivore diet. Looking forward to your updates.
Way to go Mike! It took me 2 years to slowly lose 52 lbs and feel much better. I was able to do it just by cutting down on the amounts of food intake but it was hard at first. Our bodies are all different so I like to say, ‘do what works for you’. I was never one that could stick to a diet but finally figured out what works for me. You seem a lot happier now that you’ve found your way to get healthier, I’m happy for you.
Congratulations. I am glad you found something that works for you. I'm not a big carnivore, but I have lost 120lbs since January doing intermittent fasting, and eating a very low calorie mostly vegetarian low carb diet with a couple ounces of meat a couple times a week. I know other people who have lost a lot of weight on this diet. Got off Metformin, getting rid of that made me feel oh so much better. I still have a good way to go as I was bigger than you when I started. We are around same size now. I lost about another 150lbs after getting sick from Covid... I was HUGE around 500lbs. I got to 350 and got stuck there a few years. I felt like total garbage. Could not sleep, so terribly sore, gasping for air and no energy. I have more energy now at 46 than I did at 20! And no diabetes, high blood pressure, or gout anymore.
Very proud of you Mike for deciding to do this. You look so much better and I know you have to feel better. I know I feel better after losing 35 pounds. I have a little more to go but I don’t want to be a skinny Minnie anymore. At 76 I just want better health and feel better. Great job!!
awesome video my friend 💕 I knew you lost weight ..... I'm on that metformin crap too along with everything else and then some 🙄 on top of the diabetes I have factor V Leiden disease, RA, bad wheels and spine but I applaud you for getting in shape and taking us along on your journey 👍~hugs to the gang 🐾💖🐾
You look great! I watched an older video the other day & I thought you looked a lot bigger in it. It takes a lot to put yourself out there. It's encouraging to me. Who doesn't love steak and bacon? That would be un-American!
I just finished your carnivore video. I'm not much of a meat eater at all. I never was. But ohhhhh the carbs. Potatoes, bananas,popcorn,.I felt awful. So I have lost weight since winter. Eating tons of tomatoes 🍅! And squash. Carbs in squash I guess. No butter. No dairy. Anything dairy doesn't agree with my body. I have good laying hens so eat eggs most days. But now I have this awful craving for bananas. Well anyway. I'm proud of you and excited for you and ohhhh so glad you're back!
So proud for ya Mike. I watch Dr. Berry and you're right, look at the person doing these ways of eating. Dr. Berry is like 55 yrs. old, and he looks and works like a 35 yr. old. I see a big difference in you for sure. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next video.
Good for you Brother,keep it up. I need to get back on that myself. Last year at this time I was walking two to six miles four to five days a week. I got down to 238lbs from 275. I quit about ten months ago and I'm back up to 275. I never changed my diet,I just walked. Seeing you happy,healthy and moving around good has got me wanting to get back at it. Ain't nothing to do but do it. Take care and God Bless!!! Happy Trails
Awesome Mike!!!! I've been carnivore for 3 months I've lost 40lbs n most of my health issues have started resolving themselves.. I'm tickled pink u found this awesome diet!!! I'm praying for u hun.. much love coming ur way ❤❤❤
Hello Mike,congratulations. You look amazing, and I am very happy to see you take your health seriously. I bet your mind is much clearer, and yes, the energy your feeling is awesome Look forward to seeing ur progress and whatever you like to post 🇨🇦
You are looking great! Keep up the good work. You’ve got me thinking I need to research the diet for women. I’m on several daily medications. I would love to get off those pills, too. I do find that I feel better when I eat protein. I would love to lose the weight and regain my energy. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for this video. I have been looking at the carnivore diet videos for a week just went for labs and to see the Dr and he said it was fine to start it for me it is life or death with my health. Please do lots of videos. Your are the only person I know how is doing this after watching you for months I am truly encouraged by this video. Thanks
Congratulations Mike!! Keep going, you'll reach your goal. You've inspired me. The doctor put me on metformin when my A1C was 5.9. I hadn't done any research, just took it because they said. Now I know better. Time to stock the freezer with meat. Besides bacon are you eating any other pork or chicken? Wishing you well on this journey.
Love this video! Real person just trying to improve their life. I started the carnivore life style June 10 and 10 weeks later down 47lb. I started much heavier than you at 340lb and loving the way I’m feeling now. Great job keep up the good work!
Wow! Looking good, Mike! Ive always been a fish, variety of meats and eggs eater. Not much into breads or pasta. I do eat veggies. Im 5', 95 lbs, and very active except now, broke my foot. Im so happy for you😊. Hugs from Florida
You could start home canning fresh meat to stockpile. I'm glad to see your positive body and attitude changes. I think I'll give this a try. I've seen the positive changes on the CVK channel too.
Congratulations! I started keto in 2020 and have progressed to pretty much carnivore ever since. I’ve lost 80lbs and working on the next 50. My body has been healing, gotten off most of my medications,down to 3. I’m doing BBBE right now also, for metabolic reset and reintroducing some foods. Everything you mentioned that you’re eating, with the exception of sauerkraut, is all carnivore. And fermented foods are supposed to be good for you. (Per Ben Bickmen)
Looking great Mike. Four years ago I was 240lbs. I started losing weight. I am now 160lbs. I take no more metformin, no more high blood pressure medicine, no more cholesterol. Because once they put you on these medicines, they do not want to take you off. So I put in the work. I did it myself and I took myself off and the doctor could not believe it. Twice a year I take A1c test and it’s always good. But the way I did it I eat basically one time a day. Because I never ate a lot of food to begin with, so now I eat what I would eat in three meals just one time a day. But I still drink my beer when I want one. Also I do exercise.
Wow great job 🎉 It sure makes it easier to move around loosing weight. You really seem alot more energetic now 😍 So happy for you. Keep up the good work 😊 I enjoy your channel very much! Greetings from Sweden/Eva
Mike that is wonderful. I love that diet it works!! And that dr you follow is wonderful!! I saw an interview with a girl who has been on that diet for 15 years and she is perfectly healthy. Just the fact that you are getting off your meds speaks for itself! I follow the intermittent fasting diet that works best for me. Looking forward to more progress! Congratulations 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
Hey Mike I been seeing you changing as you started working on your house. DrKen Berry I love him he's been talking to my subconscious for a couple of years. Cocoa butter and bio oil both excellent for stretch marks. Bet your visions better too. Keep going Friend. You inspired me. Gotta try. Jenny from Texas Hill Country
I'm carnivore too and loving it. What I love the most is that I can eat as much as I want and whenever I want. Meat is filling and hard to overeat. It's GREAT! I lost 70 pounds. Something I figured out about carnivore success is your reasons for going carnivore. Mine is because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. It's very painful and disabling. Ive had 5 joint replacement surgeries. Again, very painful. I want to quit hurting and the carnivore diet is the only diet that gives me hope. I've very slowly improved in various ways. It's such a nice surprise when something bad you thought you had to live with gets better and goes away. I wish you the best in your journey. You might not have noticed but I think your breathing is better. You didn't sound out of breath.
I have done keto and intermittent fasting and lost 30 lbs, I am now backslidden, You have inspired me to get back on the wagon. Thank you! You look great! About 20 years younger!
Big fan of Dr. Berry & people need to understand that their MD knows NOTHING about nutrition and what healthy food is! You were exactly right saying they don’t want you healthy, (no money in that!). Congratulations and glad you’re feeling better 🥳👏👍
Good for you Mike I'm glad you found something that is working for you. You're looking great so far and I know your determined to finish this up until you reach your goal.
Lost 90 lbs so far. Just went under 200lbs for the first time in 34 years. Was prescribed Mounjaro for out of control diabetes (it's a diabetes treatment) - was on a keto-lite diet had lost 20lbs but still couldn't get my glucose level under the mid 300s. Now I'm coming off the diabetes drugs and after my next blood tests will be off the high blood pressure drugs too if the numbers track. Starting to taper off the meds and will keep having routine blood tests and monitoring by my doctor but you don't need to stay on them (will be testing to know for sure). Had to get new glasses with no prescription needed for distance any more. Doc explained that high 300s blood glucose is like syrup for blood and the tiny blood vessels in your eyes don't get enough circulation. Lose the weight, eat healthy, get off the drugs (all of them!). Good luck! It sucks sometimes but the payout is worth it. As for Mounjaro - don't take it if you don't need it for diabetes. I've managed to avoid side effects I think largely because I'm not on it to "lose weight". It helps but I was already loosing weight before the drug and I credit that with not getting some of those effects. Don't do a drug like that without frequent monitoring by a doctor.
Congratulations brother! I encourage you! I had some stints put in a year ago and I lost 25 lbs. It does make you feel better. How tall are you? What should your ideal weight be for your height? Keep on loosing man !👍
Thank you for this video. I am starting...again...on the carnivore diet and more importantly stopping drinking every night. The whiskey is what has doomed my dieting every time before. I am type2 and had an A1C two months ago of 14. Getting cataract surgery in my right eye soon which was caused by my type2. Three years ago I got as high as 270 then dropped to 250 for a good while and now I have been stuck at 233 for about a year. Blood pressure is controlled with Lisonopril but if i go more than three days without it I get to stroke levels. Hoping I can get off all meds at some point. With what our country is about to go through, meds may not even be available. Again, thanks for this evidenced based motivation that I need. Born and raised as an Okie and I love the Ouchita area. Gotta make a living so been a Texan since 91'. Take care.
@@SeeLionsInTX mine was done for arthritis pain. Wasn’t worried about weight. The pain food causes is unbelievable. Most don’t believe me so I don’t bother to talk about it. Food is poison
@@ouachitamountainliving I refuse to talk about it in a video. It is a sure way for me to mentally set myself up to fail. If I don’t focus on it, it seems to be easier. Burger joints can sell you just hamburger patties if you get out and crash cause you haven’t eaten enough. Watch your potassium levels, it killed mine I don’t eat enough meat.
This is very encouraging. I raise rabbits and recently found out that marinated rabbit nuggets in the air fryer is amazing. I feed my dogs with raw rabbit too. Time to get off the carbs
I knew you were losing weight! Kudos! Looking good! I am on the same journey toward a healthier lifestyle. You just gave me the kick in the butt I need to step it up a notch. 🙂
I’m not doing carnivore. But similar. Still cutting out almost all carbs. So I eat meat, eggs, cheese, and I add salads and shelled sunflower seeds as a snack. In 3 months my A1C has went down from 9.1 to 6.4. And that’s unmedicated. I was on 2 metformin and a jardiance. But I stopped all my medicines because once my body came off of all the sugar and carbs, my sugar was getting down in the 30’s and 40’s at night. Scared me and I quit taking the meds. I average 120 after meals, and 99-105 at bedtime on my sugar. And I’ve lost 30 pounds since April (about 3 months). Stay at it man. 💪 👊
Check out a gut health test too. I did mine and was amazed at what it revealed. The Dawns rising effect has a lot to do with a high blood sugar level in the morning. Help the liver out and see what’s going on in the gut and you could reverse that. Best luck!
Just found your videos. I’m currently 283 lbs, 61 years old, pre-diabetic. Doctor wants me to start Ozempic but that’s a life of injections and side affects. No thanks. I’m starting the carnivore diet this weekend. I’m giving you a follow. You’re an inspiration.

Thats awesome! Thanks for the encouragement! Yes I despise the term OBESE!
Congrats!
Great effort 👌
Dr Ken Berry is awesome he will not steer you wrong. I have followed him for the Last 5 Years
yep!
Something I like about Dr Berry is that he suffered the same crap we're going through but found a solution that's doable and sustainable. He was overweight, pre-diabetic, suffered from terrible heart burn, etc. BUT, look at him now! He's a success. 😊

I was wondering if you have lost weight you looked so much healthier. Fantasticaaaaaaa
Thanks, glad you noticed,its hard for me to see any change
HUZZAH, Mike! welcome to the BBB&E tribe. Got my 2 yr Carniversary coming up with no desire to change what I eat.
Thats the great part,your satisfied with the food
Congratulations Mike.
I like Dr. Berry, very informative guy.
Keep up the good work.
Take care
Thanks!
30 pounds in 2 months is pretty incredible. Congrats man, it wont take long before you are right where you want to be.
Wonderful! Your body heals from the inside out,especially skin issues.

That’s awesome! I’ve heard that carnivore is also good for autoimmune issues. The doctors will never recommend it though.
I will never trust most Drs again
My high cholesterol was normal after carnivore. I didn't tell him I was doing it. My hypothyroidism gone too.

Carnivore here. I am disabled and went from 210 - 180. No work outs my back is a mess and can’t do much without being in pain so I take it easy and do what I can. I’m leaner and more cut then when I was younger and worked out a lot. Go figure good luck stick with it you’ll be much healthier and happier
Thats Awesome!
Congrats on the weight loss. If the diet works for you, that's great. Unfortunately, I nor my husband could do that as my husband has kidney disease, and we can't have all that meat, fat, sodium, etc. Good luck on your journey. Take care Mike.
go watch Dr Ken Berry, your wrong about that!
@@ouachitamountainliving I will do that, thanks for the info.
Good for you !!!!!
Dr Jason Fung is a kidney specialist if you want to check him out.
Way to go Mike. Don't forget butter .,,love butter. I am 84 and love carnivore. Will be 1 yr. In Sept . Down 40 lbs. or so . Proud of you man .
I butter everything!
Great news Mike
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Mike, very intriguing. Pooch needs to do something like this. You may have inspired me to get on this carnivore diet too.🤠 🤘💖
You want me to come down there and open a drum of Whoop A$$ on the old Pooch?
@ouachitamountainliving you are more than welcome to come on down. With or without the Whoop A$$.🤠🤘♥️
Awesome video Mike!
Congratulations on the weight loss.
Thanks for watching!
Mike CONGRATS!!!!!!! I have lived this way most of my life, when you start adding things back in to your diet, whatever you eat, eat REAL food not boxed processed food. Your body needs some carbs when you get down to where you feel good not what the insurance charts say. But if you start eating processed food you will notice how bad you feel. I'm not going to lie and tell you that I don't ever eat them, once in a while I will have something chips or something like that. OH MY GRACIOUS within a half hour my stomach is upset, I hurt all over and just don't feel good. That is usually enough to remind me for a good while. No it isn't the easiest thing to eat real food but it sure makes you feel better. It means growing your own, cooking from scratch and that kind of thing. You find that you eat simpler just because it is easier and every once in awhile you will fix yourself a fancy meal and it is good. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
Congrats on your weight loss wishing you continue success.
Thanks!
Good for you Mike ! You can do this ! You are doing a great job 👏👏👏
Thank you! And thanks for sticking with my channel
Great job Mike. I will be following you and joining you on this journey. I've been too big too long! I am blessed to have a doctor that is very supportive and knowledgeable re the Carnivore diet. Looking forward to your updates.
Awesome! That makes me feel good! Any questions just ask,or watch videos.There are tons on youtube.That many people cant be lying
Way to go Mike! It took me 2 years to slowly lose 52 lbs and feel much better. I was able to do it just by cutting down on the amounts of food intake but it was hard at first. Our bodies are all different so I like to say, ‘do what works for you’. I was never one that could stick to a diet but finally figured out what works for me. You seem a lot happier now that you’ve found your way to get healthier, I’m happy for you.
Thanks for watching!
So happy for you and this journey! I believe in you.🎉
I plan to shock people! Thanks
Congratulations. I am glad you found something that works for you. I'm not a big carnivore, but I have lost 120lbs since January doing intermittent fasting, and eating a very low calorie mostly vegetarian low carb diet with a couple ounces of meat a couple times a week. I know other people who have lost a lot of weight on this diet. Got off Metformin, getting rid of that made me feel oh so much better. I still have a good way to go as I was bigger than you when I started. We are around same size now. I lost about another 150lbs after getting sick from Covid... I was HUGE around 500lbs. I got to 350 and got stuck there a few years. I felt like total garbage. Could not sleep, so terribly sore, gasping for air and no energy. I have more energy now at 46 than I did at 20! And no diabetes, high blood pressure, or gout anymore.
Looks like we're on the same path to a healthier lifestyle, just taking different roads. Keep up the good work!
Alright!!! Proud of you. Make sure to take a good multivitamin since you aren't eating vegetables or fruit.
no need, Meat has far more nutrition than most veggies
Very proud of you Mike for deciding to do this. You look so much better and I know you have to feel better. I know I feel better after losing 35 pounds. I have a little more to go but I don’t want to be a skinny Minnie anymore. At 76 I just want better health and feel better. Great job!!
Thank you, yes I am motivated!
awesome video my friend 💕 I knew you lost weight ..... I'm on that metformin crap too along with everything else and then some 🙄 on top of the diabetes I have factor V Leiden disease, RA, bad wheels and spine but I applaud you for getting in shape and taking us along on your journey 👍~hugs to the gang 🐾💖🐾
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
A lot better attitude you have. I love it when a plan comes together for you❤
Thanks!
You look great! I watched an older video the other day & I thought you looked a lot bigger in it. It takes a lot to put yourself out there. It's encouraging to me. Who doesn't love steak and bacon? That would be un-American!
Thanks for watching!
I just finished your carnivore video. I'm not much of a meat eater at all. I never was. But ohhhhh the carbs. Potatoes, bananas,popcorn,.I felt awful. So I have lost weight since winter. Eating tons of tomatoes 🍅! And squash. Carbs in squash I guess. No butter. No dairy. Anything dairy doesn't agree with my body. I have good laying hens so eat eggs most days. But now I have this awful craving for bananas.
Well anyway. I'm proud of you and excited for you and ohhhh so glad you're back!
bananas are bad! Caution
So proud for ya Mike. I watch Dr. Berry and you're right, look at the person doing these ways of eating. Dr. Berry is like 55 yrs. old, and he looks and works like a 35 yr. old. I see a big difference in you for sure. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next video.
Thanks for watching!
Good for you Brother,keep it up. I need to get back on that myself. Last year at this time I was walking two to six miles four to five days a week. I got down to 238lbs from 275. I quit about ten months ago and I'm back up to 275. I never changed my diet,I just walked. Seeing you happy,healthy and moving around good has got me wanting to get back at it. Ain't nothing to do but do it. Take care and God Bless!!! Happy Trails
Thats my hope is this inspires folks.Its easy,can still eat good stuff
@@ouachitamountainliving I'll have to check out that diet. My problem is I don't eat much,but what I do eat is all carbs.
Hi Mike you are doing great! I did the low carb diet 20 grm a day .lost 73 pounds my account went down to 5 .7 . You are looking fit!! ❤😊
Great job!

Thanks!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks
You are looking great! Keep up the good work. You’ve got me thinking I need to research the diet for women. I’m on several daily medications. I would love to get off those pills, too. I do find that I feel better when I eat protein. I would love to lose the weight and regain my energy. Thanks for the inspiration.
Watch videos watch videos watch videos,nobody has a bad story on carnivore
Sounds like you have found what works for you, good job. Wishing you the best.
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
You look great! I am starting tomorrow! Ty! You have inspired me

@@ouachitamountainliving I have been toying with with it for awhile
Congratulations 🎊🎉
Thanks!
Hello Mike 👋
Thanks for watching!
Good for you !😊
Thanks!
Thanks for this video. I have been looking at the carnivore diet videos for a week just went for labs and to see the Dr and he said it was fine to start it for me it is life or death with my health. Please do lots of videos. Your are the only person I know how is doing this after watching you for months I am truly encouraged by this video. Thanks
Thanks, I will do videos,lets see how this is recieved.So far awesome
Congratulations Mike!! Keep going, you'll reach your goal. You've inspired me. The doctor put me on metformin when my A1C was 5.9. I hadn't done any research, just took it because they said. Now I know better. Time to stock the freezer with meat. Besides bacon are you eating any other pork or chicken? Wishing you well on this journey.
yes,pork,beef,some chicken( not a fan of chicken) all the fatty meats
Enjoyed this content.
Thanks! I hope to inspire others
Wow Mike you look very good congratulations on your weight loss
Thanks!
Im fixen to try it my self
Its INCREDIBLE!
Good for you.
Thanks for watching!
Love this video! Real person just trying to improve their life. I started the carnivore life style June 10 and 10 weeks later down 47lb. I started much heavier than you at 340lb and loving the way I’m feeling now. Great job keep up the good work!
Thats Awesome!
You got this! Keep up the good work! You look amazing and healthy! ❤
Thanks!
Wow! Looking good, Mike! Ive always been a fish, variety of meats and eggs eater. Not much into breads or pasta. I do eat veggies. Im 5', 95 lbs, and very active except now, broke my foot. Im so happy for you😊. Hugs from Florida
Thats Awesome!
You could start home canning fresh meat to stockpile. I'm glad to see your positive body and attitude changes. I think I'll give this a try. I've seen the positive changes on the CVK channel too.
YOU CAN DO IT!
Yes. Campervan Kevin.
Congratulations! I started keto in 2020 and have progressed to pretty much carnivore ever since. I’ve lost 80lbs and working on the next 50. My body has been healing, gotten off most of my medications,down to 3. I’m doing BBBE right now also, for metabolic reset and reintroducing some foods. Everything you mentioned that you’re eating, with the exception of sauerkraut, is all carnivore. And fermented foods are supposed to be good for you. (Per Ben Bickmen)
80lbs down and only 50 more to go? That's like losing a small child! Keep crushing those goals, and soon you'll be the lightest version of yourself!
I too have lost 40lbs!
😂😂👍
Ty for the update . you sound happy and healthy .. God is good !✌✌🇺🇸🙏❤
Thanks!
Thanks for posting this. Very interesting.
Your Welcome
Well done Mike ! Keep up the good work. I thought there had to be a good reason why you disappeared from doing your videos. 👍💪🐕🇨🇦
Looking great Mike. Four years ago I was 240lbs. I started losing weight. I am now 160lbs. I take no more metformin, no more high blood pressure medicine, no more cholesterol. Because once they put you on these medicines, they do not want to take you off. So I put in the work. I did it myself and I took myself off and the doctor could not believe it. Twice a year I take A1c test and it’s always good. But the way I did it I eat basically one time a day. Because I never ate a lot of food to begin with, so now I eat what I would eat in three meals just one time a day. But I still drink my beer when I want one. Also I do exercise.
I quit beer in 2018,but dont need it in my life anymore.Maybe a drink now and then with friends
Great job! Best plan I’ve done too!
Thats Awesome!
Wow great job 🎉 It sure makes it easier to move around loosing weight. You really seem alot more energetic now 😍 So happy for you. Keep up the good work 😊 I enjoy your channel very much!
Greetings from Sweden/Eva
Thank you, I feel great!
Mike that is wonderful. I love that diet it works!! And that dr you follow is wonderful!! I saw an interview with a girl who has been on that diet for 15 years and she is perfectly healthy. Just the fact that you are getting off your meds speaks for itself! I follow the intermittent fasting diet that works best for me. Looking forward to more progress! Congratulations 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Hey Mike
I been seeing you changing as you started working on your house.
DrKen Berry I love him he's been talking to my subconscious for a couple of years. Cocoa butter and bio oil both excellent for stretch marks. Bet your visions better too.
Keep going Friend. You inspired me. Gotta try.

I'm carnivore too and loving it. What I love the most is that I can eat as much as I want and whenever I want. Meat is filling and hard to overeat. It's GREAT! I lost 70 pounds. Something I figured out about carnivore success is your reasons for going carnivore. Mine is because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. It's very painful and disabling. Ive had 5 joint replacement surgeries. Again, very painful. I want to quit hurting and the carnivore diet is the only diet that gives me hope. I've very slowly improved in various ways. It's such a nice surprise when something bad you thought you had to live with gets better and goes away. I wish you the best in your journey. You might not have noticed but I think your breathing is better. You didn't sound out of breath.
Yep!
I have done keto and intermittent fasting and lost 30 lbs, I am now backslidden, You have inspired me to get back on the wagon. Thank you! You look great! About 20 years younger!
Thats Awesome!
Big fan of Dr. Berry & people need to understand that their MD knows NOTHING about nutrition and what healthy food is! You were exactly right saying they don’t want you healthy, (no money in that!). Congratulations and glad you’re feeling better 🥳👏👍
Thats the sad truth!
Good for you Mike I'm glad you found something that is working for you. You're looking great so far and I know your determined to finish this up until you reach your goal.
Yes, I will do this,id look like a failure if I didnt
Congratulations Mike, you are looking dapper my friend. Well done and way to go and all that jazz!
Thanks!
Looking good !
Thanks!
Lost 90 lbs so far. Just went under 200lbs for the first time in 34 years. Was prescribed Mounjaro for out of control diabetes (it's a diabetes treatment) - was on a keto-lite diet had lost 20lbs but still couldn't get my glucose level under the mid 300s. Now I'm coming off the diabetes drugs and after my next blood tests will be off the high blood pressure drugs too if the numbers track. Starting to taper off the meds and will keep having routine blood tests and monitoring by my doctor but you don't need to stay on them (will be testing to know for sure). Had to get new glasses with no prescription needed for distance any more. Doc explained that high 300s blood glucose is like syrup for blood and the tiny blood vessels in your eyes don't get enough circulation. Lose the weight, eat healthy, get off the drugs (all of them!). Good luck! It sucks sometimes but the payout is worth it.
As for Mounjaro - don't take it if you don't need it for diabetes. I've managed to avoid side effects I think largely because I'm not on it to "lose weight". It helps but I was already loosing weight before the drug and I credit that with not getting some of those effects. Don't do a drug like that without frequent monitoring by a doctor.
Thats Awesome!
Congratulations brother! I encourage you! I had some stints put in a year ago and I lost 25 lbs. It does make you feel better. How tall are you? What should your ideal weight be for your height? Keep on loosing man !👍
I am 6ft1. I look best about 200 to 220 lbs.I used to be very muscular,so if I can do that again at my age,im good
Thank you for this video. I am starting...again...on the carnivore diet and more importantly stopping drinking every night. The whiskey is what has doomed my dieting every time before. I am type2 and had an A1C two months ago of 14. Getting cataract surgery in my right eye soon which was caused by my type2. Three years ago I got as high as 270 then dropped to 250 for a good while and now I have been stuck at 233 for about a year. Blood pressure is controlled with Lisonopril but if i go more than three days without it I get to stroke levels. Hoping I can get off all meds at some point. With what our country is about to go through, meds may not even be available. Again, thanks for this evidenced based motivation that I need. Born and raised as an Okie and I love the Ouchita area. Gotta make a living so been a Texan since 91'. Take care.
You can do it, yes we all need to be in the best shape we can be for whats coming!
Just link people to Dr Ken Berry he is the king of carnivore.
Yep, I am he is who I watch..people are hard to convince
I'm convinced seeing the changes on both of you. ❤
@@SeeLionsInTX mine was done for arthritis pain. Wasn’t worried about weight. The pain food causes is unbelievable. Most don’t believe me so I don’t bother to talk about it. Food is poison
@@ouachitamountainliving I refuse to talk about it in a video. It is a sure way for me to mentally set myself up to fail. If I don’t focus on it, it seems to be easier. Burger joints can sell you just hamburger patties if you get out and crash cause you haven’t eaten enough. Watch your potassium levels, it killed mine I don’t eat enough meat.
This is very encouraging. I raise rabbits and recently found out that marinated rabbit nuggets in the air fryer is amazing. I feed my dogs with raw rabbit too. Time to get off the carbs
Glad it was helpful!
I knew you were losing weight! Kudos! Looking good!
I am on the same journey toward a healthier lifestyle. You just gave me the kick in the butt I need to step it up a notch. 🙂
Thats what im talkin bout Willis,I like to know im reaching folks
I’m not doing carnivore. But similar. Still cutting out almost all carbs. So I eat meat, eggs, cheese, and I add salads and shelled sunflower seeds as a snack. In 3 months my A1C has went down from 9.1 to 6.4. And that’s unmedicated. I was on 2 metformin and a jardiance. But I stopped all my medicines because once my body came off of all the sugar and carbs, my sugar was getting down in the 30’s and 40’s at night. Scared me and I quit taking the meds. I average 120 after meals, and 99-105 at bedtime on my sugar. And I’ve lost 30 pounds since April (about 3 months). Stay at it man. 💪 👊
Thats Awesome!
Glad you’re taking care of your health
Thanks!
I could tell you had lost weight. Good for you. From the hills n hollers of the Ozarks.🐿️

GREAT JOB MIKE. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. LOOKING REALLY GOOD.
Thanks 👍
Hey Mike it's good seeing you again . God bless and good luck .
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
Congrats Mike, you look younger too. Fun video and snappy.
Thanks for watching!
Check out a gut health test too. I did mine and was amazed at what it revealed. The Dawns rising effect has a lot to do with a high blood sugar level in the morning. Help the liver out and see what’s going on in the gut and you could reverse that. Best luck!
Wow, sounds like your gut is like a secret agent revealing all the mysteries of your health! Keep those revelations coming!
@@ouachitamountainliving it really is. It’s crazy!
