The SHOCKING TRUTH About The Carnivore Diet You NEED TO KNOW! | Dr. Steven Gundry

The tools to live a long and healthy life delivered straight to your inbox!
---------------------
Let’s be clear, I have NOTHING against the carnivore diet as an elimination diet. In fact, some of my patients practice it and it does support their gut health because it removes all lectin contains compounds in your diet. But there’s much more information you need to know if you plan on practicing this diet. That’s why today I’ll be discussing the shocking truth about the carnivore diet you need to know.

Here’s the truth. I lost weight on keto but had severe asthma and bad lower GI issues. Arthritis pain so bad in my hip. 9 months on carnivore and I have no bathroom issues now. Asthma issues cleared up. Arthritis pain significantly lower. There’s the truth. Don’t need opinions or fake studies. I’m proof

I am on the carnivore diet and have been for some time. The healthiest moment for me came when I stopped researching and listening to opinions regarding it being healthy or not. It makes me feel great and I am in the best shape in my life at 63. That is good enough for me!

[JM-corf]

I'd rather live a slightly shorter life, and not have crushing depression and anxiety.

[metalacop]

I've actually tried it and it's changing my life. I'm 56yrs old male and retired. Stress and weight made me retire early 3yrs ago.
3 months ago I started carnivor. 35lbs down building muscle mood and anxiety improved and now wishing I had done it years ago. I might not have retired. This guy uses word play to discredit a new but very effective method of changing your life. It's also enjoyable and easier than anything else I've tried.
These doctors who have us taking meds for everything and 90% of us are overweight and stressed out.
Do your own research and stop listening to the same old garbage.

I've seen a 123 years old healthy man with zero health issues. His main food is lamb meat with fats, ghee, and fermented yogut.

[Mack-opvw]

The Inuit people and the Maasai, both of these peoples consume mainly meat but neither suffers from cancer as well as being extremely healthy!

[kerryrus]

I started the carnivore diet (except no milk or other lactose containing dairy) almost 1 year ago (Jan 24 will be my carniversary) as an elimination diet. And although my IBD-UC wasn't cured it became 80% better, finally I decided not to reintroduce plants, because I feel so much better, calmer, more focused, sleep better, less moody and my weight decreased. I feel 10 years younger. Lack of variety is the price I am willing to pay. I don't even use plant-based seasoning like pepper.

[LisaMurphy]

There is only one food that does not irritate my GI tract and that is red meat. I feel my best when I have steak for dinner and a very easy to digest veggie on the side like avocado, or romaine, or sliced peaches. I don't believe fish is better for you - fish contain mercury and other toxins from our polluted oceans. There is no perfect food, but I have to stick with what agrees with me. It's sort of a no brainer.

[annieg]

The ONLY meat that I do really well on is red meat and eat it every day. All my meat is grass fed/grass finished. I am Salicylate intolerant which cuts out many veggies/foods. I eat eggs, and some hard cheese and some berries. I am healthier and feel better now than I ever was.

[Jaquableu]

I have been on Keto off and on for years. Each time getting better and understanding more about how to do this right. Finally I realized I cannot eat any carbs without spiking my blood sugar and keeping my BP and BS out of control. So I started Carnivore with about 5 g of carbs a day in the form of Heavy cream in my sugarless coffee. No artificial sugars. No veggies or grains or condiments or fruits. Nothing but meat, seafood, Eggs, butter and bacon grease. And do you know what has happened?

Blood sugar is dropping and continues to normalize. Soon I anticipate no longer being type 2 diabetic at this rate. My BP has dropped so much, I am having to lower my doses of Medicines. Soon I anticipate no longer being on BP meds. My Gerd is gone. GONE. My weight is dropping. My fibromyalgia is not hurting me anymore. I am sharper. Brain fog is gone. I am no longer hungry and feel like I need something in my diet. I eat 2 small meals a day and am done. Bacon, burgers, shrimp, Pork belly, Fish, Eggs. My body is getting high nutrition for the first time in forever. I am eating like my ancestors did for millions of years and am now eating a proper human diet.

For Info on all your questions, Look up Dr. Ken Berry. He has over 20 years of experience as a practicing physician. He himself overcame obesity and pre diabetes by doing this diet.

Since we are talking about people curing things with carnivore diet- here is my story!

So everyone knows I am 46, turn 47 soon- but look like I am in my early 30’s. I am now 122lbs and 5’7”. I have done a zero carb carnivore diet for 9 months now. Before I was saved by the carnivore diet I was 165lbs (weight would continue to creep up since I was 40 years old.) And I had so many other issues that are now cured. One was i had fibrocystic issues before carnivore. It built up over a six year period of western / SAD diet. Doctors said it was normal, nothing we can do. “Part of aging and now normal.” Nope! Then I tried the Mediterranean scam grain diet for 6 months- made things worse and even put me into peri menopause and many other issues like cysts that got to be quarter size round, so painful! Fibrocystic masses too were big! I was fed up and decided to go dig and dig to see if anything would reverse this! Found Dr. Baker, Dr. Berry, and Dr. Chaffee with carnivore diet! Then found out cruciferous veggies can ruin your thyroid and prevent natural absorption of iodine found in foods! I had eaten lean skinless chicken breast (a half of one maybe once a day), rices, and broccoli for 6 years- age 40-46 and daily! I want ladies to know they need to avoid cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, asparagus, and cauliflower to prevent fibrocystic breasts- but plants in general cause it! Your body needs iodine for your lady organs and all other organs, but especially your thyroid! They really mess up the thyroid which messes up your hormones and causes all other issues! One big domino affect! I ask people to go watch Dr. Chaffee with Dr. Sally Norton on plant toxins! Fibrocystic breast issues are now what doctors have settled as “normal!” I truly feel it is considered an auto immune issue / plant toxic illness of inflammation that can be reversed with carnivore! If you look the rates of fibrocystic illnesses is drastically increasing- including breast cancer- and it’s posted on line that nobody knows what causes those! They tell people not to eat saturated fats! I eat fatty meats of beef and eggs- and 8 months on carnivore no more cysts and i have only one smaller fibrocystic mass left that is super small- continues to shrink- not the large mass it once was- shrinking drastically on carnivore diet!

Carnivore diet cured so much for me!

* No more perimenopause- completely reversed!

*Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself!

*No more night sweats

*No more waking every 2 hours at night!

*It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast!

*No more life long eczema

*No more cold hands

*No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun.

*No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea)

*No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm

*No more purple looking hands in winter

*No more brain fog

*No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows

*Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight.

*Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing!

*Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well.

*Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 46 and look like I am in early 30’s.

*Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me.

*No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach!

*Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup!

*no cravings unless they are for meat

*no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago.

*No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods

* no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller.

*feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 40 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that.

* i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming before Carnivore. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights.

* no more body odor!

* I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much.

*I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that.

* I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things.

*Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But 9 months on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing!

*no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing!

If I think of anything else will add. ☺️👍🏻

I know when people go on carnivore they are trying to heal something, but if they aren’t like me and notice small things- they may not notice they are healing way more than they realized- things plant foods were causing! And they need to remember, processed foods are made from plants- but so are whole foods (raw or cooked!) they are all toxic!

The carnivore diet cures! ☺️👌🏻 The body is a network made of multiple gears- and if one gets messed up it causes a whole domino affect of problems like I had! The carnivore lifestyle is not a fad, it’s the ancestral human way of eating! Go Carnivore for a few months and see how you feel! ☺️👍🏻

[karenmora]

Three months on carnivore and my fibromyalgia COMPLETELY GONE!!! After 20 years of heavy duty meds that only acted as a bandaid and only treated symptoms (and also caused severe osteoporosis)!! CARNIVORE In six months, 30# lost effortlessly on beef, butter, bacon and eggs.

[jimshirey]

Beth here ..Carnivore is curing my severe acid reflux, I'm no longer taking Nexium twice a day. Is curing my psoriasis, my patches are almost gone that I've had since I was 18 and I'm 62. My bloating constantly in my stomach is completely gone and yes, I'm losing weight. I have the trifecta of arthritis... rheumatoid, psoriatic, osteoarthritis...and I can now move my hands and fingers, no more ankle, knee, foot pain AT ALL. I feel soooo good that I don't care what anyone says, medical or not, that I plan to continue being a carnivore.

[vincentrevers]

LoL the same guy who wrote plant paradox still suggesting eating plants and disregarding science. I guess once you're emotionally brainwashed or paid it's easy to lie.

[benyameenyitzhak]

I have multiple sclerosis and the carnivore diet has cleared my brain fog, improved my memory, I sleep better, better libido, calmer and more focused. Read the comments on YouTube of people like me benefiting from the carnivore diet.

[acsearchingfortruth]

I've been on a carnivore diet for 3 week. The results I'm experiencing in this short amount of time is unreal. I'm not going back. Even if long-term this is bad, which I don't see how it is since there's plenty of people that have been doing it for over a decade but they don't get any media attention, I'd rather live a shorter, happy, healthy non miserable life. You do you!

[knittingknut]

I’ve been following a carnivore diet for 3 + years now. Granted I’m not 100% carnivore. I eat frozen blueberries from time to time and I sometimes eat junky type food at work when we have a potluck but I would say I’m 95% carnivore. Absolutely NO problems on this diet. I’m 70 and feeling stronger, fitter and weigh 30lb less than I did in my 50’s. If in doubt try it out. My labs have also improved over the last 3 years.

[iambliscanna]

On My second week on the Carnivore diet and I just had the healthiest Bowel movement that I've ever experienced! I'm experimenting with Ground Beef mixed with Organ Hearts and Liver with Goat Butter.
I've read a lot of the scientific research on cooking Beef Protein. The key learning experience is learning to not over cook.

[fountainoflifeonenessjesus]

Carnivore diet is healing all of my autoimmune issues, my pain, my chronic pain, my weakness, and the fact that I haven’t been able to get out of bed for hardly two years is changing
