After 6 month’s of carnivore.

Lost 60Lbs
Lost my sleep apnea
Lost my fatty liver
No more pre diabetic
My skin looks amazing!

And I still have obese family members telling me that it’s not good for me and I’m going to die soon. People are so conditioned.

Based on research which has shown that cancers grow more slowly on a keto diet, I put our 13 year old golden retriever on keto several months ago after she had surgeries for 4 mass cell tumors in 2 months. Since then she has had no more visible tumors, and surprisingly her fur shedding, which had always been a problem, has been reduced by about 90%. Apparently, keto is good for dogs as well. Update after 10 months on the diet - still no more tumors. Vet recently did an ultrasound and some biopsies and found nothing internally either.

Dr Paul Mason is such a good communicator I have learned so much just by listening to this video. Thankyou to both of you.

I went carnivore in January, you should see the faces of people when (after being asked what I do to look so trim without going to the gym) I tell them I haven't eaten plants this year. 😳

I’ve been on the carnivore diet for 18 months now. Never felt better. All those ills and issue I’ve had for decades (I’m 66) have all gone away. No more intestinal distress, no more bloating, no more allergies, pre-diabetic completely resolved, no constipation at all. I no longer have to worry about my weight. Great way to live!

Back in the 1970s, in the military, based In NATO, with Spain being my home base. I was a made man, with all my friends being Spanish, and professional people. I was a loner who made friends wherever I went! It was a blast!
I asked my bullfighter fried why all the wealthy were lean, or even skinny, and the poor, in the small villages fat? His reply was because they couldn’t afford to eat meat, and cold only eat bread! The message was loud and clear, proven decades later. I hung out with some interesting people in Europe, and had some of the best times of my life!

As an American I pay an asinine amount of money for healthcare and insurance. The worst part is it's all based on the foundation of outdated science and nutrition. I would gladly pay the amount of money I waste each paycheck for my insurance and the amount of money I pay for office visits if I could have someone as qualified as Dr Paul. Where do we find educated doctors that are willing to admit what they learned as the foundation of their practice is no longer true?

I’ve been eating less and less veggies and went carnivore a few days ago and magically my IBD symptoms went away! I don’t have gut pain anymore. For the past few days I’ve been only eating beef in steak and ground forms. The crazy thing is when I looked up info about foods someone with IBD should eat, they tell you to avoid red meat as it will cause a flare up. Now I will say only do organic or grass fed, mostly grass fed. The chemicals in non organic meat will cause problems. But it’s crazy how the food that heals the gut, all health folks and websites tell you to avoid, including my pcp and gi. When I told my doctor I was having problems a few months ago, they did all sorts of tests and found out nothing was wrong. I told them sugar makes me sick and they told me to avoid it then I mentioned I can’t do fruit but eat white rice. They told me I was sensitive to sugar but fail to understand that glucose in white rice is sugar! My pcp said white rice was better for me and I should avoid red meat! When I first had my flare up they told me to eat the brat diet which is banana, rice, apples, toast… that baffles me because all the foods in brat diet cause IBD and other array of problems. 🤦‍♂️ Drs are so ill informed on nutrition.

Been carnivore for two years, some cheat days here and there so many things have changed, it helped me with grief, knee pain, lost weight, no more floaters in my eyes, my hair grows stupid quick and its probably twice as thick, teeth have no movement at all, also no plaque, rosacea gone, I had a 722g growth on my ovary that was removed and when they removed they found it was dead - I dont know why it was dead. I joke it was carnivore that killed it. Muscles are a m a z i n g GP was shocked at how low my triglycerides are. OMAD also.

I developed extreme osteoporosis at a young age ( DEXA scan ) after 10-12 years of vegeterian diet. I was so sad to be so osteoporotic ( like a 90 yo!) despite daily physical exercise dancing swimming etc.. Then I was diagnosed with SIBO. Still, no one helped me with the osteoporosis from the MD world. NO ANSWER!! Finally, I got to see a GI doctor who saved me. Thank you so much Dr Paul Mason. This is life saving information that I discovered on my own person after 15 years of struggles. I am so glad to hear it is reversible!!

I’ve never heard a guest on a podcast be interrupted as much as in this episode. Let the man talk!

[romaromina]

Great Video. Thank you so much - I am Italian doing almost 100% a carnivore diet for 2 years and my pain in my knees is completely gone.

My wife and I also went Keto last Dec 29th and we both lost 1/3 our body weight and are both at or near our goal weights. We are now basically Omnivore /Carnivore and do 18/6 IF and FEEL GREAT ! And we are in our early 60's.

This is a man of Integrity, and has the courage to talk science

I went carnivore for autoimmune disease. Of course I don’t know the long term effects that it will have on my body but I can tell you in 10 years of painful autoimmune symptoms, I finally felt relief. I tried being vegan for three months and it was impossible. I have celiac so no gluten whatsoever. Gluten is the most common thing used to replace meat like texture in plant based foods so don’t tell me it’s healthier than a meat based diet.

Red meat, dairy and eggs - my favourite foods. All my aches and pains and bloating gone within days.
A lovely caring doctor.
