I'm 73, lost 50 lbs on carnivore.5 yrs ago. Never gained any back. I've never felt this good. Have great bloodwork. Walk 2 miles a day. I will never change. Why would I !!!! Eat mainly beef, butter, eggs. Some pork, some chicken. No veggies, no fruit, no grains. I love it. On no meds. Loving my life !!

I love how he often will say something, and then just stare at the screen for a slightly uncomfortable amount of time to let something sink in. It always brings a smile.

[kimberlycostello]

I just love how honest you are. Carb addicts wear their addiction on the outside. There is no hiding it. First Keto now carnivore has changed my life. It is a journey of learning and tweaking. 90lbs down..never going back.

Dr. Cywes is the only doctor I’ve seen on YT that treats this as a carb addiction. He doesn’t JUST promote a Keto/carnivore diet which won’t persuade most carb addicts/abusers at least for the long term. Seeing refined carbs as a drug/slow poison made it easier for me to sustain my ketovore lifestyle after I relapsed last year. Even though I’m 5lbs overweight and in my 20s, I figured now is the perfect time to prioritize my health not take advantage of it. Thank you doc for the videos!

After I was diagnosed with diabetes the dietician said “It isn’t that you can’t eat corn chips, but just eat one handful of corn chips.” This was absolutely impossible for me to do, I chose abstinence from corn chips.

[tryingtobebetter]

Abstinence is the only way for me. I can't be trusted to have 1 of anything 🙄 it's never enough once I start 🤷‍♀️

I've been on a Keto diet for five months and have lost 40 lbs. I took a bite of my granddaughter's Dunkin Doughnut last Sunday and was shocked at how god-awful and gross it tasted. I had to spit it out! I used to be able to clean up dozen DD's by noon on a Sunday morning. Sugar is going to kill us! Having said that ... it's not going to kill me! Great video Doc.

‘“Addiction is never to fat, it is always sugar and startch’” 👍👍

I totally agree Dr Cywes, when I began to watch my diet, after being told I was diabetic, I decided for myself that it was easier to totally give up many carbs (grains, cereals, pasta, etc.) than it was to try to "manage" my intake of these foods. When you're told that it's okay to have a quarter cup of rice with a meal, I told myself I'd never stop at that quarter cup, and it was just easier to stop eating rice and try to forget about it. Perhaps a little like giving up an old flame or lover, if I continue to see them, even occasionally, I'll never be able to give them up, forget them, and heal. Thank you for your wise advice and counsel. I love the fact that you're courageous enough to tell us about your own carb addiction (McDonald's McFlurries and M&M's), and that you blazed a path to help heal yourself.

Man, 57, I started Keto +OMAD + 10K steps a day, on November 12th, 2020 and I lost 113 pounds (315 to 202) and I never felt better. I was a type 2 diabetic, had high blood pressure, and was on statin drug as part of a daily cocktail of medication. I am currently off all medications, Keto is working very well for me and is a lifestyle I can live with.

I think any ex-smoker who comes across a keto or carnivore diet instantly understands. There is no going back, there’s no sneaking one now and then, it’s no cigarettes or a pack or more a day. In this way, changing my diet to keto has been much easier because I wrap it in the same package. I don’t have birthday cake when it’s someone’s birthday, I don’t have any of the cookies grandma brings over for my kids, I don’t have alcohol I don’t have soda because like smoking it’s all or nothing.

All that said, I think you’re right. The large majority people simply don’t possess the will power or mental fortitude to succeed with such a restrictive diet‘s relative to their high carbohydrate lifestyle. Especially hard is the inability to get away from sugar and carbohydrates. It’s pretty easy to stop hanging out with all your friends who smoke. You stop going to the bar, stop drinking for a little bit maybe use gum or lozenges and before you know it’s your ex-smoker. Best of luck removing yourself from environments full of chips, cookies, cake and other junk food. It’s quite literally around every corner just waiting for you. Imagine if smoke shops were as prevalent as fast food restaurants and that’s convenient with drive-through‘s and TV commercials and advertisements in the newspaper. My point here is we need our governments to acknowledge how unhealthy all this crap is and start placing restrictions on how it is marketed to the population the same as they did with smoking.

It's easier for me to stay keto because it helps me manage my chronic pain. I also feel my best while I'm fasted.

[schuggy]

Doctor, your appearance is improving all the time. That's a reflection of your improving health on the inside. You're doing a great service here. Keep it up. Go Green!

[kimmcnichols]

I’ve never counted calories since keto / carnivore ... almost 3 years .. but I now weigh less at 56 then I did at 11....

[swerth]

I can't believe this channel is free. 55M started watching 7 months ago and lost 30 lbs. Bless you for doing this

[mikewood]

I do keto and it saved my physical and mental health. It’s scary the effect carbs have on me. They make my physically ill and exacerbate my depression. Now my mood is better than ever and it’s just not worth the cheat - it literally forces me into bed. I do admit carbs “sneak” back easily. But I have to quickly get back to basics. I really have to think about modifying keto downward to achieve my goal. So this was helpful.

[bradellison]

I did keto a few years back. Strict adherence. Lasted one year, lost 145 lbs. Soon as I started to introduce carbs back, the weight came back easily. Gained more than half back. I understand the carb and sugar addiction. Gave up soda over five years ago. I have to completely eliminate things, there is no having 3 chips for me. Back on keto and losing again.

[raylares]

I always shoot for zero carbs, knowing that I get some from salad dressings, vegetables, etc. But I absolutely say no to the things I know I shouldn't eat like bread, ice cream, fruit, sugar, etc. because I know (from experience) that I cannot eat a limited amount of it. It's the only way.

[watcherworld]

I started my fight against type 2 diabetes 3/15/2021. Today is 3/5/2022. I am no longer diabetic. In fact, I am not even prediabetic. I lost 40 pounds (174 to 134). The problem I had was that I was thinking of this dietary/lifestyle intervention as a way to return to be able to tolerate carb again. Well, now I know that that ain't gonna happen. Dr. Cywes is absolutely right about fear being a motivation factor. Yeah, I don't want to get cancer or dementia.

[Patricia-qgbd]

So many years hiding and binging on cereal and. milk, cookies, pies, crackers, chips. Could never have just one - thank you Dr Cywes for teaching us the truth of carb addiction. Since going LCHF I have maintained my 40lb weight loss for 2years. This is a first for me.
