Ep:286 CARBOHYDRATES: KNOWLEDGE IS EMPOWERMENT

Once I stopped counting carbs, weighing my food, writing everything down, it was such a sense of freedom!! Eating is so simple now! Shopping too. Simply yes or no. I''ve always hated vegetables so that's an easy choice. I've been eating carnivore for the last 4 months, 2 meals a day and eat until I'm full. I've lost 38 lbs so far and I'm now off my blood pressure medication. I've never felt better!! 56 years old and going strong 💪 Thank you, Dr. Cywes for another great video!

Don't try to control a relationship that you've already lost control of, love that!!!

It was back in 2015 when I went to support a family member who went to rehab for heroin addiction that I realized I had a sugar/carb addiction. It wasn't until 5 years later that I hit my own personal rock bottom. I slowly started a keto lifestyle then transitioned to carnivore. Its 3 years later and still going strong. Your videos, Dr. Cywes have been a godsend to me to help me understand the correlation of all the components that were leading me down a destructive path. It wasn't ever that I was eating too much it was always that I was eating the wrong things and that's why I could never lose weight. Thank you for all you do.

I hated " doing keto" until someone in a FB group said they avoided the counting nonsense by just eating meat and eggs. 2+ years carnivore now and healthier in my fifties than I was in my thirties. Ultimately, there's no need to eat ANY vegetables.

I would love to have you do a video on thin people with carb addictions, I am not one of them but I know so many people who believe because they are not fat and are they are healthier. My sister fed this to me all my life. She never ate meat, veg but drank coke ate tons of Doritos and drank tons of beer. She was thin so she never worried about her diet. I have struggled and still do. Unfortunately she got diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at 62 so please do a video explaining that thin people need no carbs also, it just may save their life.

Vinny Tortorich told me 10 years ago "your liver doesn't know the difference between an apple and a donut. Carbs are carbs." That always stuck with me.

I'm not sure if you covered this, but what you are working towards is a new you. I'm 69 years old and went on a carnivore diet about a month ago. I'd previously been on a Keto diet with good results. What I immediately felt after completely dropping all carbohydrates was the aches, pains and stiffness STOPPED within 48-72 hours. I mean I couldn't bend over and tie my shoes without groaning and huffing and puffing. That was amazing. I have also notice the edema in my lower extremities has completely gone away and I have more energy. And, I have btw lost 18 pounds in the past month. Doctor, thank you so much for your clear, concise and informative discussion on this life style change. I am convinced it is the path forward for me.

You have been my teacher in a successful keto health journey in the last 4 years. And still I am in awe of every New Video. Not only you know what you are talking about, you have the ability to explain and share for everyone to understand it.

No yelling, no shouting, no screaming. Because those of us that know, know just how right you are. 💯 Agreed. 💪

This man is marvelous in making the understanding of scientific research simple 🎉

Thank you. I am 80 and could not lose weight unless I did injections provided by a diet dr. Going mostly carnivore and doing intermittent fasting I’ve lost 15 lbs in a few weeks. I feel fantastic energetic and no days when I feel kinda fuzzy thinking. I feel like I’m 40 again. Amazing

Spot on! The biggest issue I have had with carnivore is other people telling me what I "can't" have. 😂 The freedom from making a bunch food decisions is most liberating.

It’s just crazy how good every single video is. 😂

I have been doing Keto for 2 years and started carnivore on March 17th 2023. I am feeling absolutely amazing. Joint pains are gone, and I no longer need to go to the chiropractor. Indigestion is gone as well. I started doing press-ups, and in the first week, I did 35 per day, which was 5 more than I usually do. I have steadily increased the number every day and did 70 a few days ago! I can't believe it! What I added was boron, which was suggested by one of the many doctors I follow on YouTube. That took it to another level. I am 67 years young and will never eat vegetables again. No carbs, absolutely no carbs. I have not put sugar in my coffee or tea for at least 40 years. Another effect of this diet is that the plaque on my teeth has completely gone. After about a week, I could feel it coming off, a very strange sensation. Additionally, I no longer have bleeding gums. I only take thyroxine for my underactive thyroid. I hope to get off of it over the next year on this diet.

Pmsl 😆😆😆😆😆never met a fat person who rushed home after a rough day and pigged out on Brussel sprouts!! This information is pure gold and so very true. We def need more Doctors like him....period

I love how you make all the medical and science information so clear. 🥰

Awesome explanation. No BS. Just say no. Straight up. Love it. Thank you!

Omg 😱 I loved this Dr. Cywes! I've been having a rough time lately and gained 20 pounds when I still needed to lose 10 more so now I need to lose 30. Well I've lost 6 of that. I've been keto for 4 years and lost 150 but going through a divorce I fell off a couple of times. So now I've decides to just eat like I'm a newbie and starting over. 🙃 thanks for this video, it was awesome! Perfect 🥰 💞 👌

Love your Brutally Honest communication! ❤ We need more Drs like you in this world

Thank you, this makes so much sense to me. I lost 92 lbs fasting and reducing my carbs but have had a hard time maintaining the loss and have gained about 20 lbs back. I have recently gone carnivore and it is now slowly coming off. Currently I am only eating beef, eggs, coffee and a small bit of butter in my first coffee and water of course. This helps me to see I'm on the right track!
