Very commonly asked question is about whether you need fiber for digestion, and whether you'll get constipation on a carnivore diet. In fact, some get loose stools instead of constipation on Carnivore, and don't know why. Well, you're answers are here! Share this with others who you think it would help!

There's one particular friend whom I pray sees this. You know who you are, and I hope you can forgive me for challenging your vegetarian/vegan beliefs, but I can't sit by while you deteriorate without at least trying to pass on this knowledge. Make your choices, and know that regardless what you choose, and how angry you may be at me, I'm still your friend. I just hope you can escape the constant pains you're experiencing. 🤗❤

I see children who have processed food as their diet, took ADHD meds and have constipation. Instead of recommending easing off the adhd medication and or improving their diet, the doctor recommended Metamucil.

After months of taking Metamucil, there was no improvement.

Then the doctors prescribed laxative,

These are 9 and 10 years old children.

I despise the current medical system/standard of care.

They suck so much I completely opted out of it.

Started eating a meat based diet. Three years without seeing a doctor and no medication. Happy as a clam:) Lost 30 pounds and gained lean muscles.

Stopping buying loaves of bread and not having sandwiches 5 times a week, best decision I ever made. My stomach is settled for the first time since I was 13. Been on animal based since March 2023. I'm 40 next birthday.

I was vegan for over 10 years my health had to changed grossly. I literally had to stop my food business because half of my cartilage somehow disappeared from my left hip and they were throwing out hip surgery into the air at the doctors office. I’ve always been into doing everything natural, so I was on another quest to find out what was going on with my body. My oldest daughter introduced me to carnivore, and after one night of listening to all the carnivore doctors online, I jumped right in head first. My husband looked at me like I was nuts because I went from one extreme to the other. I was eating cheese and fish mostly at the beginning and then I started really bringing that meat in heavy and now I have been eating mostly meat. I love it. My brain works 100% better. My body works 100% better. I feel so much better and I’m so grateful forever grateful. I feel like I need to definitely share this with the world, because It has made A 365° difference in my life

My husband 75 ( I am 70) is SO worried about my cholesterol because I eat meat, fat, cheese, milk from grass fed cows (or raw when I can), bacon, LOTS of eggs ( we raise our own)and more meat!!! He is constantly urging me to go to the doctor for a blood panel. When I was 65 I had a calcium score done and it was zero. The doctor said although my LDL was high ( 177) she saw no need to put me on a statin (of which I would not take!) My husband is on a statin, blood pressure meds, nitrogen tabs, and a couple other meds. I think I’ll keep eating meat!!!

[myrna]

I love how you talk. It’s like a dad talking to his kids about safety 😊.

[MrWylis]

I've just bought half a cow, quarter of a pig, and 5kg of chicken.

100% carnivore starting tomorrow.

Meat, salt, water.

Started carnivore diet 4 mos ago. I am 59 yrs old nurse and all of my colleagues think I am crazy. Even a doctor who is a picture of health with horrible labs. My doctor hasn`t discouraged me but not support me either. However, they agree my skin looks better along with weight loss. I no longer have arthritis pain and I have had 2 hand surgeries removing the trapezium from both hands. My husband is 65 and has washboard abs in 4 mos. Pretty sure we are not the crazy people!

This man is 100 percent correct. I have had ulcerative colitis for 8 years and at first when I got off sugar, it got a little better but I would still have terrible flare ups. When I cut out the fiber, my flare ups nearly disappeared. When I transitioned to all animal foods, it felt like I had awoken from an 8 year nightmare. Now I'm flare up free and feeling better than I ever did even before I got colitis.

My poor 21 year old son, 6’4, 210, former 275 football player, lives on laxatives, stool softeners, fiber stuff …Keeps loosing weight:( ….plant based . :((( I just started carnivore & hoping he will follow when he sees results. Thank you for this vital information! ❤️😊

[kcarter]

I’ve been very nervous about starting carnivore since I have IBS-D, but this gave me a knew understanding of my bodily functions and needs. I’m doing a lot of research before starting, but I’m praying it’s the answer to my health problems.

[eddiegarciajr]

Eating hamburger meat cheese and 4 eggs right now while watching this! Been feeling so energized these last 3 days… it’s insane. Never felt like this on carbs.

[michaelkoniowsky]

Anthony has saved my life!!!! I hope one day he gets recognized for being honest and not pushing money making agendas. Love you Anthony!!!! 🤜🤛

[frogsofindia]

I was eating soooo many fruits and veggies as a vegan/vegetarian (I even ate 1 pound of leafy greens a day at one point!). Sooo much gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Now that I'm animal-based, I feel so much better - no more IBS!!!

[kcop]

When I developed gastrointestinal problems, all my doctors kept pushing on me was more fiber, more fiber, more fiber, more water, more fiber, more water, more vegetables, more fiber, more water, more vegetables…… Ugh 🤦🏻‍♂️ If there’s ONE profession that requires empathy, objectivity, integrity, imagination, thinking outside the box, it’s the medical field.

[tallcedars]

I know I can't eat plants after going carnivore recently. Decades of constipation and a year of green smoothies did me in and almost blocked the bowels. Had to take laxatives to get the final plant foods through and now BM are easy and pain free. I was at wits end with constipation until I heard about the carnivore diet. I was on it the very next day, best thing I ever did!

[bk]

It’s great to have doctors finally telling us the truth

[yarealdad]

Maybe 15 years ago I was recommended by a specialist to stop eating most vegetables for my gut health....I didn't listen, but it's all coming full circle now

[rontiemens]

Stopping intake of fiber is one of the best things I have ever done nutritionally. Haven’t had any in almost two years. I have never felt better.
