      I know what adding more meat, especially red, and eggs have done to me at 52, I feel 20 years younger, and dropping carbs to a minimum has improved my joint and inflammation pain dramatically.
      All cooked, as that is the way I have always eaten, i really don't see how any other way could be more beneficial, plus it's much tastier imo.

      @David Kopp I would advise to cook your meat and eggs. Two mains reasons are an increase in biodisponibility (more nutrients can be extracted from the food) and an increase in food safety (killing bacteries and parasites).

    4 year vegan to carnivore. I didn’t do it for weight loss, I did it because I because my life was ruined. Couldn’t get out of bed, couldn’t function, needed 12 hours of sleep and still had migraines and sleepy eyes, constant mental fog. I tried every vegan diet, high Carb, high fat, fruitarian, hippocrates diet, all of it, supplementing everything.
    I’m now back from the dead. I need 5 hours of sleep. Have a successful business, bought a condo, got engaged, put on muscle and wake up with enthusiasm every morning to conquer the world. I am grateful for my experiences as a weak dying vegan because I now know what it feels like to be a strong virile man who is capable of making something of himself in the world. Thank you god for meat!!

      V A : Kudos from another weak, dying vegan who finally decided to pay attention to what her body was trying to tell her. I had the same kind of problems as you (fatigue, lack of strength and energy, increased need to rest, brain fog plus anxiety and depression) and I'm convinced that giving up veganism saved my life. Tried Keto first which improved my health, but what really made a difference was the carnivore diet. I'm still dealing with a few digestive issues but things are getting better all the time.

      I'm really glad you mentioned coffee. After 6 decades of sugar addiction and too much plant-based junk food, I developed MS. Been 4 months on carnivory, going right into it cold turkey. Yeow. But I've had improvements all across the board and have been drinking coffee with sweetener and heavy whipping cream. Not out of the woods yet. It will be a long haul. But my vision is better; floaters diminishing, no more short-term memory lapses, and sleep like a dead man. Glad to hear you've had good success. I've lost excess weight despite shovelling down about 4000 calories daily. That's an estimate. I don't bother with tracking stats.

    Fantastic. A much needed parsing of the differences between ketogenic and carnivorous. I came to carnivory out of curiosity and to see if it might help my skin, which it did. I also found a big improvement in digestion. But the reason which will probably keep me as a permanent member of club carnivore is the improved mood/cognition aspect. Saying that my mood is better doesn't really do justice to it. It's something that feels deep and profound, a grounded contentment and appreciation of life. And I experienced this after transitioning from a very low carb diet. It seems that eliminating the plants was the key.
    Well done Amber!

      I believe that fasting shouldn't save money. You should eat about as much as you would with multiple meals, otherwise you might not be getting sustainable nutrition day after day. It certainly saves money if you think of your fasting window as a way of avoiding eating overpriced food from restaurants.

    54 yrs old. Carnivore for 6 months now. All arthritis symptoms gone.
    Lost 30lb weight, gingivitis gone.
    Sleep hugely improved. Satiety is swift and long lasting - often 8-10 hours - energy levels constant and stable. No more 'hangry'...sugar crashes. General mood markedly improved. I eat from across the animal kingdom including organs.

    • @annbrown3037
      @annbrown3037 Před 5 lety +3

      Hi C O.
      Thanks for replying.
      As for vit C : I have read from more than one source that, in the absence of sugars (carbohydrates) the body has a grearly reduced need for vit C. Nevertheless, liver has a fair measure of the vitamin which I eat at least twice a week ; following 6 months carnivore, no scurvy.
      As for fibre : the evidence is mounting as I continue to research that dietary fibre from plants is a major culprit for causing serious irritation to the gut wall - as well as feeding Candida overgrowth - which has been shown to contribute to leaky gut syndrome.
      In 6 months my digestion is smooth, comfortable and regular.
      As for unsaturated fats : I'm not at all worried about them ; most animal fats contain a measure of unsaturated fats, and as I eat from across the animal kingdom I am happy that, should my system have any use for unsaturated fats that they are in the correct proportion to other more valuable fats and nutrients within the foods I already eat.
      Again, following 6 months carnivore I continue to notice incremental improvements in my general health and wellbeing.
      But 6 months isn't very long. The proof is in the pudding. Anything could change.

    I've always had a varied diet. I actually did buck the trend and lost 25 lbs through exercise and calorie restriction while eating an average diet. My arthritis continued to get worse and worse to the point I was in pain every day for about a year. Finally, it moved into my lower back. As someone who lifts equipment in and out of a truck every day and is self employed, this was the kiss of death. I put my skepticism aside and tried the keto way to help with the inflammation. It's nothing short of a miracle so far. I easily lost that extra 10 lbs I had gained and most importantly, all the pain I had in my hips, knees and hands disappeared in just two weeks. I'd say about 70% of the pain is gone and it's at the annoying and intermittent stage, rather than nagging and chronic.
    I was in a pretty dark place for about a year and this has given me a new lease on life. However, I still place a big emphasis on eating as much vegetables as I can. I eat a lot of the low carb veggies every day I can. Swiss chard, kale, mushrooms, peppers, cabbage, some onion, garlic, cauliflour etc. Yesterday I had more than a pound of vegetables with only 20 net carbs which is a typical day for me. I've never felt better. I never went through any keto flu and slid into ketosis by starting to eat a keto meal every day, then two, then all the way over a period of a couple of weeks.
    For optimum health in keto, I think you have to eat as wide a variety of the best quality food you can afford in order to get the broadest nutrient spectrum possible. Our ancestors may have preferred meat and organs but they would also eat anything in sight if they were hungry and game was scarce. Science tells us that all the micronutrients are important for all bodily functions.

    Personally, I think organ meats are very beneficial. If you look at wild animals, the first thing they eat is the organs and fat, then they eat the lean protein muscles. I think we can learn from wild animals what our ancestors would have done (besides, this is what the Masai in Kenya do also and they have the most carnivorous free range diet).

      ​@@paulgordon1595 - I spent the last 2 months doing carnivore. It was simple and the results were good. I definitely feel better the more strictly I eliminate carbs and sugar, as someone who was a junk food junky for most of my life. My metabolism is too messed up to tolerate a high-carb or even a moderate-carb diet. And the cravings for carbs come back so quickly, if I'm not careful.
      This past week, I decided to experiment and added small amounts of fermented vegetables back into my diet, following a 3 day fast. The fermented vegetables seem to work fine for me. And as soon as the wild berries come out, I'll try some of them to see how my body responds to that form of sugar. I'll keep it limited and favor a carnivore-like approach, but I would like to be able to add some plant foods back in, however minimally.

    Skin conditions are mostly caused by grain. I resolved all my skin conditions from going raw vegan but then started feeling weak and brain foggy so I began eating vegetarian and am now eating more meat. My conditions have not returned. I know what my triggers are - nightshades, wheat, dairy, sugar and most processed food. As long as I stay off these, I’m fine. I suspect people who go from a normal diet to Keto who experience a lot of conditions clearing up experience that from the removal of allergens in their food allowing the immune system to calm down. This doesn’t mean all vegetables and carbs are bad.. if you cook your vegetables to make them more digestible, they are fine for most people to consume. I love fruit (in moderation) and vegetables and would never give them up. I have no health issues eating the way I do. I think the best thing is for everyone to just experiment and eat what works for you. The more I learn about nutrition the more I am convinced that genetics probably play a bigger role than we think. There is no one diet fits all.

I thought the carnivore diet was about truth and good health not some type of cult like veganism. Most people who adopt the carnivore diet ate differently for many years and one food gift won’t make a difference. It does not sound good to put dogmatic adherence to nutrition above loved ones. Would it be so bad to accept the gift and let them know for future reference you follow a carnivore diet?

      I keep dreaming and daydreaming of chocolate cake. It's hard not to get out and get some. The craving is intense. I wasn't sugar addicted before starting carnivore. Been carnivore for about 4 days and overall feel better. I think maybe it's a magnesium thing as there's a lot of magnesium in chocolate. I have some magnesium supplements but haven't been taking them. I will take some and see if this craving goes away. That said I wasn't taking the magnesium supplements as I think we should get all our nutrition from food. So if I'll always have to take magnesium supplements on carnivore then I'm not sure I can do it fully. Then again one can use the argument that magnesium supplements are ok because magnesium would be in carnivore type foods if it wasn't for soil depletion. So maybe I'll just always have to supplement rather than get magnesium from foods that won't do me good in other ways. My decision is to supplement for now.

Their nutrition comes from amino acids that bacterias produce and dead bacteria’s - 95%. We have different digestive system and can’t do it on the level that herbivores do, we just poop it out quickly and it’s useless for us, apart from a bit of vitamin C and some B vitamins that we questionably may be getting from plants.

      M. E you don’t need supplements if you’re eating the right foods. Make sure to buy grass feed beef and organ meats. Pastured raised eggs. You can consume raw dairy including cheeses. Wild fatty fishes like salmon. Tallow, lard and butter as cooking oil. Bone broth is also great. Simmering bones in a pot for 4-24+ hrs. Drink the liquid for extra benefits. If you’re traveling making pemmican is great. Mixing animal fat with dried beef. You’ll be consuming more than enough protein. No need for shakes. You can do intermediate fasts or OMAD which helps people.
      First three days will suck. Your body enters Keto flu. Google that. After that you’ll feel amazing. Find what works for you as in types of meats and eating windows. You’ll be set.

I do mean a lot of comments like this, not just five or six, but dozens at least. The last comment I remember reading the person only had one kidney and the other was functioning at around 30%. They went carnivore and the one kidney improved dramatically. Of course everyone is different, and I have read a very small amount of comments saying that they were diagnosed with a fatty liver after the fact. I still haven't read a comment saying that kidney function has suffered, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't happened to someone.

      One ounce of liver has 30 milligrams of vitamin C. One average size steak has 10 mg of C. Humans require only 1 mg of C daily. If someone gets scurvy, 10 mg of C will clear it up in 3 to 4 days. So we need only trace amounts of C. It becomes a pro-oxidant and damages organ tissues if consummed at the Recommended Daily Allowance, which is at least a thousand times more than required. (C is derivitive of sugar.) Vitamin E is also a pro-oxidant at RDA levels. Don't go overboard on A either. We need only small amounts of vitamins and trace amounts of minerals daily. In human biochemistry, a little goes a long way. The fact that vegans suffer a steady deterioration in overall health means that plant foods cannot provide us with even these small and trace amounts of nutrients. There is no nutrition in plant material, only sugar and toxins.

I noticed that my sister could eat these huge salads, mounds of greens, legumes and beans. I could only tolerate modest salads and no legumes and beans before I went keto. I knew I would be miserable on a vegan diet. I would suggest you need to "tweek" your diet for your body by playing with intermittent fasting and adjusting your macros until you find the right combination for your body. I am assuming you measure everything (weight, calories, macros, blood sugar, ketones) so you can tell what is producing positive or negative results. You may want to try an extended fast and then start adding foods. Best of luck.

    This is a very very outrageous diet and lifestyle. I've been vegan in all aspects of my life for two and a third years and I haven't even developed any gut problems or any other metabolic problems. In fact since going vegan in Fall 2016 I have gained more focus, and because of it I haven't taken any medications for ADHD. 70 percent of the vegan dishes I eat comes from whole plant foods from legumes and bananas mainly to most fruits, leafy greens and veggies. I don't eat black eyed peas which is the only plant food I don't eat because I don't digest them well (makes me vomit).
    I understand that many people that were plant based for health reasons and/ or vegan for ethical reasons and had to resort to eating a carnivorous diet because their gut can't any longer handle any plant foods. However it's because they are doing calorie restriction diets or fasting and eating too much of a whole plant food item or too many processed plant foods. If people that are former plant based eaters eating animal flesh and their secretions and organs were to have eaten a huge balanced variety of plant foods, they wouldn't have developed any bone, gut, digestive or even muscle related problems.
    Carnivorous diets can temporarily solve those problems but in the long run, carnivorous diets which you eat only animal meats and their fats can cause you to get kidney disease, type two diabetes, even heart attacks and seizures and will not give you long lives.
    If done right, the variety of legumes, veggies, fruits, grains, nuts, seeds, and some starches, depending whether you can digest them, can make your digestive system better to where skin, muscle, gut, and bone problems are reversed and healed in the long term. And if your heart is for the environment and animals, you'll stay vegan for life because you're not looking or thinking about animals as food.

      It's mostly people with horrible autoimmune diseases that are looking at this diet because even modern medicine can't stop the pain. Their lives are in ruins and they look for any solution.
      So you taking this opportunity to shove your vegan ethics in our faces is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.
      Horrible and lying human being.

      @lonnie919 I think you're referring to insulin resistance.
      The way I see it, the phase of T2D where you don't secrete enough insulin is the very end-stage. It's preceded by many years of chronically high insulin levels in order to keep the blood glucose levels fairly normal. This is why a simple blood glucose test doesn't reveal T2D until it's too late.
      I know of a vegan treatment that includes eating pure sugar that also reverses T2D, so it's all a bit confusing for a layman like me.
      I get most of my knowledge from lectures posted on youtube and also from blogs. So I'm definitely no expert. But having listened to both sides, the keto / ancestral diet side seems much more logical to me than the vegan side.

      Some people would say being vegan is outrageous. We do not have flat teeth that continue to grow like a horse, cow, or other vegan animals. We are apex predators, omnivores. Genetically and biologically built to eat meat. If being vegan works for you, that is great. Genetically you may be more predisposes to that diet. Genetically, I am 99.9% Northwestern European, the carnivore diet has been working really well for me. I'm 190lbs and shredded. My visceral fat is down (the fat around your organs) and for the first time in my life I'm able to fall asleep without tossing and turning for hours. Whatever works for you, keep doing it, but you can save your judgments, especially when dealing with people who see you as a food source. That last part is a joke...maybe :)

      Veganism is an extreme diet. An experiment, since no large population has ever existed across generation on plant only diets. Wasn’t even possible before we had massive ships polluting their way across the world so you could have your avocados and almonds. The healthiest and longest lived societies eat the most ; Hong Kong and Japan. There are no long lived healthy society of vegans. None. It’s an experiment. And judging by all the ex vegans, it’s a very dangerous diet for many people.

      carnivore is different from just eat a lot of meat. You strictly eat animal products. I mean i'm new to this and all but i feel like fixing diabetes and metabolic disease is one of the most common praises here.

      Freestyle Eat the diet that is best for your body/life. I was just stating that it is a scientific fact that passing gas throughout the day is natural, and not detrimental to ones health. Historically small populations have eaten an all meat diet, it is a possibility. Vomiting on a plant based diet, sorry to hear about that.

      Massai warriors eat only milk, meat, blood and occasionally honey throughout their reproductive years. Inuit have been 100% carnivore for all but a few months in the summer when they might supplement with plants. Humans following the mammoth herds, and Plains Indians did similar. Our digestive system is virtually identical to dogs and wolves, with whom we shared a social hunter lifestyle.
      All grain-based civilizations (Egyptian, Roman, etc.) diminished in physical stature and cranial capacity over the centuries while succumbing to various plagues and chronic diseases, as we are now doing.
      Nature has spoken, and our Species Diet is carnivore with options to omnivory as an opportunistic supplement.

      Hans S I eat a plant based diet, so your singing to the choir. The Innuit traditionally consumed the majority of their calories from animal foods, and most other ancient civilizations consumed the majority of their calories from starches (plus fruits and vegetables). There isn't an argument that humans can't survive for a long time on either. We live in democracy's and enjoy the freedom to eat what we prefer. Many more people in the world are fortunate to enjoy food security, clean drinking water, low child mortality, access to education, of course many still live without (1 billion people).
