The Real Reasons Why The Carnivore Diet Works

The carnivore diet (eating only animal products) has been super controversial lately. There's no denying that thousands of people are praising the benefits. But why does the carnivore diet work? What are the benefits? Why are people claiming such health improvements?

In this video, I break down all the real reasons why people are succeeding on the carnivore diet and highlight a bit of why I think the carnivore diet works for so many.

Carnivore for 8 weeks now. Down 35lbs this morning. I’m never hungry. No sugar cravings. Arthritis is gone. No depression. Fist month was hard. Now it’s easy.

My hands have been cracking and bleeding since I was 19 years old (I'm 58 now) and now that I'm doing the carnivore diet my hands look totally normal. Dermatologists over the years never had a fix for my problem. My hands were a constant source of pain most of my life. I am amazed that this is all I needed to do. It's like a miracle! Also my acid reflux issues went away too.

What the examiner said when I had my blood test done, all she said was, what ever you are doing keep it up.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, ME, adrenal fatigue. After two years of being primarily homebond, we finally found 2 medications this past May that lower my pain from a 9 or 10 to about a 7. We heard about this diet through Joe Rogan interviewing Dr. Shawn Baker, Mikhaila Peterson, and her father. We have tried everything with no improvement, so we decided why not give this a try. I have been eating the carnivore diet for 34 days now. I'm not healed, I still have lots of pain, but I am noticing big changes. Instead of waking up with a 7 or 8 on the pain scale, many mornings it is now a 4 or 5! This is HUGE!!! Most days over the past 2 years I feel like my body is lead, just to raise my hand to scratch my head is painful. Now most days I have some energy, it varies, but there is almost always some energy. The only thing different is that I eat only meat. It was terribly hard for me the first week, but now I love the simplicity. Food doesn't define my day. I usually eat one meal a day, sometimes a snack of bacon, but I am full. I never experienced feeling full ever in my life before. It's an interesting journey and I'm excited to see where it leads! Also, being very sick, I obviously can't exercise, but I am losing weight every week. I've lost over 20 pounds already which mentally makes me feel so much better!

I know I'm a little late to this but I've recently switched this diet and it's been a borderline life changing experience so far! I started to hear about it a few years ago but thought like everyone else did that this is insane! How can a person go #2 let alone, LIVE on a diet like that? Keep in mind that I've gone from one extreme to the other in terms of dieting to see what does and doesn't work before, vegan, keto, weight watchers, you name it, I've tried it but none of it worked. I just kept getting bigger and bigger year after year and the best I could do was just work out to the point of exhaustion to keep my weight even. After being on this diet for only 2+ weeks, this is the BEST I've ever felt! I've already lost 20 pounds JUST from switching to a all meat diet. Not only that but I have some pretty severe arthritis in my lower back and neck which was getting to the point of no return mentally because I had tried everything I could think of to keep the inflammation down but literally nothing worked. The inflammation I had was so severe that I couldn't bend up to get out of bed in the morning and I dreaded waking up because of how much I was hurting each morning and had to take pain medication first thing to just feel somewhat human again. When I say that this is the best decision I've ever made in my life I am not joking at all. The carnivore diet pretty much saved my life and I wish more people knew about it and didn't think it was all smoke and mirrors. It's the real deal folks!

Probably the best and most concise explanation I've seen of why the Carnivore diet works. Connects all the dots of keto, lectins, over indulging etc. Great video! 👍🏼

If you listen closely, you can actually hear vegan's heads exploding in the background.

I have so much candida over growth, parasites, H pylori overgrowth and babesia and lyme as well, a LOT of lyme... and this diet is helping me SO MUCH so anyone saying its all crazy is mistaken

I’ve never been on any diet nor changed my eating habits in my 37 years. I began the carnivore diet 32 days ago hoping to reduce inflammation in my colon (proctitis). The first week was rough, but now I feel great. I have sustained energy and and more even temperament. I started exercising again a couple days ago and, other than a little uneasiness the first day (and a sore butt by the second), I’ve felt good. I gave up eggs over a week ago because I kept having loose stool. Everything’s been completely normal since then. I never would have guessed eggs were a problem. I’ve always eaten what I like. Also, my proctitis symptoms haven’t shown up in a couple weeks. My GI is supportive of what I’m doing. If I still am doing well by Nov I don’t have to see him again, at least not for awhile. Hope things keep going well for me.

i have ibs. i was recommended the low fodmap diet, but it wasn't fixing my inflated stomach because I was still eating too many fodmaps from foods lower in fodmaps, like rice. The carnivore diet has been blissful on my gut. it really is the way to go for me since I cant have carbs at the amount i want them without being bloated for a week. GREAT VIDEO!!!

[sarikatimmi]

this vid was the second i’ve ever seen of his. just came across him about 40 min ago. can already tell i respect him. he’s so upfront, open and honest and really trying to give us as much info as he can-esp when he shared all of his labs. thanks dr

[mansoorwahab]

What you said about overdoing it on plants hit close home for me. In 2016, I was eating close to quarter pound of broccoli daily along with tons of other vegetables. I was constantly fatigued and couldn't get out of bed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[TyStudhead]

Love it. It makes me think that we should eat cyclically. Winter time as carnivores, and Summer time more veggies.

[seanedwardson]

I'm 33 years old and I'm on week 3 now of the carnivore diet I have never felt this good since I was a teenager I really think everybody should try this at least for a month

I am a woman in my 50s in menopause and I did keto for a long time with very limited results. It became super hard to lose any weight. Then I discovered Code Red lifestyle and did that for 2 months and the weight was slow to come off. It was a bit different than keto but very low carb. Then I found carnivore and have been doing that ever since up until the present and counting and the weight is still coming off. I feel great too so I am going to keep going on this diet. It's so easy to just have to eat one kind of food and not worry about what you are eating, how much and all that info that gets lost in translation. And I feel full all the time. No hunger or cravings. I eat twice a day and intermittent fast the rest of the time and drink a gallon of water everyday and get my rest. Hope this can help others.

It is refreshing to hear your comments comparing eating to working out physically. After 3 months on a carnivore regimen I have achieve many positive results as measured by how I feel, sleep and sense satisfaction with less food, less often. I have lab results to show significant reduction in blood lipids and reduction in inflammatory markers too.

I really wanted to go plant based, but every time I would try my eczema and stomach issues would flare up. I would try and push though it but it would just get worse. Been watching a lot of videos on carnivore diet, and I think I’m ready to give it a try! Going to start tomorrow 07/21/2021. Wish me luck!

[ZeroCarbJournal]

Nice to hear a balanced view on this way of eating. Thank you for being brave enough to try it and for sharing your experience. We can help a lot of people by sharing our experiences. Thank you!

[lukelannon]

genuinely one of the most information structured organized videos ive seen. I subscribed because of this video

[polymathg]

This is the first video I've seen of yours and based on this experience, I will be coming back often. Very well-spoken, great points, and to the point. Thanks!
