    All I can say is: If I hadn't gone keto for 2 years and then carnivore for the past 2 years, I'd be dead. My doc told 4 years ago my health was so bad, I probably wouldn't make it to 74 because my blood pressure sky high and I was 100 pounds overweight. Today I'm 75, my blood pressure is normal, and I weigh the same as I did when I was 23.
  • My “fad diet” has given me freedom from arthritis, high BP, GERD, IBS, chronic plantar fasciitis, dry skin, annxiety and much more!!

    I can never get my head around the fact that, obesity was never a problem until dieticians and nutritionists got involved during the 1960's. Im a happy health (physically and mentally) carnivore. Happy to listen to my own body.
  • Before I went on a carnivore diet, I followed a "balanced" diet. My diet did not consist of 60% garbage processed foods. 90% of my diet was home cooked meals made by my wife who is an excellent cook. The 10% were my indulgences, ice cream, ginger ale, the occasional bag of chips or popcorn. Yet somehow over the course of my 40's I put on 50 lbs... exercise be damned. If you consume a "balanced diet" where the majority of your energy comes from carbohydrates, your metabolism will eventually have a rebellion, your pancreas becomes tired, your liver has no choice but to turn those extra carbs to fat in order to save you from an even earlier death. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in June 2023. I did not want to die like my father due to complications from T2D, so I decided to try carnivore. In July 2024, at 53 years old, I am thinner than I was in high school, down 60 lbs, my blood work is normal, a plethora of insidious health problems are starting to disappear, and my endocrinologist says I am no longer diabetic. I still enjoy the odd snack, but 90% of my diet is carnivore.
  • I was a vegetarian turned Keto (added some fish and chicken) for 8 yrs. No junk processed foods. Lots of organic veg No starch. During this time I developed arthritis , IBS, itchy flaky ears, gingivitis and badly receded gums (pre approved for Tissue grafting procedure). 2 years ago I went carnivore Hoping to turn rheumatoid arthritis around Everything I listed above completely healed. AND. I don’t need reading glasses anymore ! 69 yrs old. Feel better than I did at 40❤🎉

    As a Carnivore, my life no longer revolves around food.
  • @conseated3616
    My only regret with the carnivore diet is I didn't start this 20 yrs ago.
  • The Carnivore way of eating is only considered a ‘fad’ diet because only a few people have been doing it for many years. As time goes on some will revert back to eating a varied diet with carbs etc., but anyone who has healed/reversed their health problems will most likely stick with carnivore for life. I certainly intend to.
  • @EFJoKeR
    1+ year carnivore here. Healed 95% of my physical issues. And 100% of my mental issues. Great video sir, keep doing the good work !

    I was raised on the SAD diet as a kid, I was sickly, suffered chronic IBS, fatigue and brain fog. I altered my diet in my adult years to consume mostly vegetables, grains, lean meat and oil because my doctors all said to, I got more sick. I had Hypothyroid, CFS, FM, and if I twisted a cap off of a jar the veins in my hands would rupture. I had osteoarthritis in my hands and spine, torn meniscus in both knees, and I was in agony. I was diagnosed with clinical depression. I couldn't do anything. I wanted to die. I've been on the Carnivore diet for 5 months now and the changes in my health are remarkable. I'm now fast walking with weights for 30 minutes everyday. Never in my life have I been able to do that. My thoughts now of eating vegetables and most fruits is like taking a cyanide pill. I want nothing to do with it. I've found some semblance of health, and no one is going to pee on my leg and tell me it's raining. I won't give up meat.
  • @JBinAZ
    I have been on a Carnivore Diet for five (5) months and I have never felt better. I can't recommend it enough. Not only did I lose weight without even trying to lose weight, I no longer have digestion issues. Best thing I ever did.
  • @dougdenisem94
    I began eating carnivore only on Jan2 of this year and just crossed the 6month mark. I’m down 70lbs (lost the first 20lbs in the fall from keto). I feel incredible and I’m NOT ever going back. I’m eating the “proper human diet” now 👍🏻
  • @BigSlimyBlob
    Hunger going away is an underrated benefit. I spent most of my life stuffing myself completely from morning to evening and never, ever reaching satiety. I would actually suffer intense despair when I reached the point where I couldn't eat any more (I was too full) but was still so, so hungry. Now I eat once a day, and am nowhere near full when I finish my meal, but I'm fully satiated. Very little cooking/cleaning involved, too.
  • @tinman8972
    Members at my gym are mostly women, and many who exercise there religiously five days a week are overweight! They're not lazy, they're overdosing on carbs in their diets!
  • @ingridferg9779
    I was obsessed with food and dieting my whole life. Found keto, but still too much gastric issues with vegetables, especially salads. Now ketovore, eating nose to tail and dont even think about food anymore. Finaly found food freedom. And optimal health.
  • My husband is 61 he's been carnivore 2yrs not 100% but if he eats carbs his feet hurt so he mostly eats carnivore. Ive been keto going on 10yrs like my husband not 100% but i feel sluggish if i vear off.Im 58 birthday in August maintaining over 50lb weight loss.LCHF with IF is definitely a lifestyle for the rest of my life.
  • @pattyl7244
    The cravings go away for sure. I love that I don't feel addicted to food which is so freeing.
  • when I hear the word “registered dietician” I think “brainwashed by the system”!
