What People are Saying About Eating Carnivore

I have been reading and listening to many people telling their personal stories of how getting rid of carbs and sugar and eating a carnivore diet has helped them heal inflammation, lose weight, and heal other diseases. This blog will highlight those people and their stories along with meals that you can eat that are not boring. You may think that eating a carnivore is just meat, but there is a whole bunch of ways to eat carnivore and it not be boring. I'm working on that myself. Many of the carnivore info that was in my other blog on Staying Healthy into Your 70s is now located in this blog. And of course, keep coming back because I am constantly added to my blogs.


The above picture tells a big story -- What is the point of living longer if you are not feeling good? Why do people eat and drink unhealthy food and beverages that are detrimental to their health? Why would you not want to feel good, healthy and strong by eating a proper human diet versus feeling achy, overweight and crappy when you don't feed your body properly? It boggles my mind.

When we were in North Carolina during the summer of 2023, I talked with a young couple who was at the campground with their family and we got on the topic of food. He mentioned to me that he was on the “Carnivore” dietwhich is also called the Proper Human Diet (Dr. Ken Berry). I thought, woah, just meat? That just did not sound like the best diet, since I believed that we all need fruits and veggies in our diet. What do you think people ate 10,000 years ago? Our far ago ancestors were hunters and gatherers. It's based on the diets of our ancestors, eliminating carbohydrate foods that are often the root cause of various health issues. The Proper Human Diet can help you achieve optimal health by adhering to a low-carb, high-protein regimen.

I’ve always been a “health nut” and even went through a phase of vegetarian eating when the kids were growing up. Little did I know, but children need good quality protein in order to grow and stay healthy. There are some nutrients that the body can only get from eating meat. I’m glad that phase did not last, and I eventually went back to eating meat. The problem with being vegetarian is that you have to eat beans and legumes, which are carbohydrates, for your protein. To me that is too many carbs (and are high in oxalates), which does not adequately supply a body’s needs for nutrition, like meat does.


From a story done by Epoch Times: Why Animal Foods are Essential for Brain Health. 


What did humans evolve to eat? Dr. Kevin Stock breaks down how humans evolved from plant eaters to meat eaters and why our brains need meat. Your brain on meat. Evidence for a Meat-Based Diet.


I'm enjoying listening to Bella, the Steak & Butter Gal on YouTube. A former Vegan, she outlines why she turned carnivore and what to do as a carnivore. Her videos are very helpful and her recipes are delicious. 


A book you may be interested in called The Great Plant-Based Con: Why Eating Plants Only Diet Won't Improve Your Health or Save the Planet. We are hearing ~~ Plant-based is best for health, go vegan to help save the planet, eat less meat... Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and dairy - or eliminate them from our diets altogether.

But what if the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve our health and save the planet is misleading - or even false? What if removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health, and a red herring in the fight against climate change.

In THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON, Jayne Buxton demonstrates that each of these 'what-ifs' is, in fact, a reality. Drawing on the work of numerous health experts and researchers, she uncovers how the separate efforts of a constellation of individuals, companies and organizations are leading us down a dietary road that will have severe repercussions for our health and wellbeing, and for the future of the planet.

THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON is neither anti-plant nor anti-vegan - it is a call for us to take an honest look at the facts about human diets and their effect on the environment. Shocking and eye-opening, this book outlines everything you need to know to make more informed decisions about the food you choose to eat.

In this video, Teri talks about her study of plants and why she does not eat them. If you take absolutely everything you've ever been taught about food and just turn it 180° and the exact opposite is true. That's more or less my PhD in a nutshell. All of the things that have been demonized, beef, butter, bacon, eggs, eat that.


She asked an interesting question: Have you ever heard of the law of primacy? Okay, so the law of primacy states that the first thing you learned is the correct thing. So this is where you get people who even when they are presented with new facts, new data, new research, new information, they can't change their mind. They say that about 3% of people are capable of changing their mind. 

In his article Carbohydrates and the Carnivore Diet, Dr. Kevin Stock talks about how Ancel Keys' study "is one of the deadliest “studies” ever done."  

Keys published his “research” showing 6 countries with high animal fat intake and their associated higher risk of death from heart disease.
This was a catalyst to the low-fat, high-carb recommendations of the last century – and is one of the biggest contributors to our skyrocketing epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

Why we are Carnivores: 


Fat, and in particular meat, became bad.


Ladies -- this is why you need meat --



**********************************************

Diabetes will destroy your body and mind if ignored or partially treated. Listen to this inspiring true story about using a Carnivore Diet to reverse Type 2 Diabetes! You can completely reverse Type 2 Diabetes by following a Carnivore Diet. 


What is the Carnivore diet? Dr. Berry explains:


Carbohydrates and the Carnivore Diet by Dr. Kevin Stock. The title “Carbohydrates and the Carnivore Diet” doesn’t even make sense. Meat has virtually no carbohydrates. Nearly all carbs and sugars in our diet come from plant-based foods. Inside of this article you will find a link to "Health Dangers of a Plant Based Diet." I highly recommend you download that article and read it. This woman, Kimberly, did and here is her story:


Here's Kimberly's Instagram post:

 

"I was 260lbs in the first photo (2006). Severely unhappy, always starving, always eating or thinking about eating while I was eating, drinking pretty heavily, unsuccessfully trying to replace human connection with food, battling the onset of diabetes, reclusive... I *hate* this photo. This was probably the lowest point of my life. Then I found Primal/Paleo (2010) and dropped 75lbs, but the cravings, binging, bloating still hung around. I could eat an entire tub of sweet potatoes and butter as easily as I could eat an entire cake. I figured I'd just struggle with food for the rest of my life... Until I ran across an article by @kevinstock12 called "Dangers of a Plant-Based Diet." It changed how I look at food and answered so many questions about why I felt SO bad ALL the time. 

I dropped plants out of my diet cold turkey and never looked back (Nov 2018). My skin cleared up, my gut healed, and I feel like the true work has just begun. Rather than uncontrollable binges, I enjoy the boundaries of an animal-food-only diet and the structure of OMAD (one meal a day). Starting Sunday nights through Tues evening, I will implement 36-hour fasts to see what my mind is capable of. I've come a long way and have a long way to go still. I'm excited. Also, there are rib eyes in the fridge waiting on me to barely cook them, and my joy levels are HIGH right now. 🥩✌🏻 Meat heals."

What carbohydrates have to do with the carnivore diet. What are carbohydrates? Without going into all the biochemistry, there are a few things to know about carbs.

We store carbohydrates as glycogen in our liver (~120 grams) and muscles (~400 grams). 
You can think of the liver and muscles as limited, short-term gas (energy) tanks. When the gas tank is full, excess fuel (carbohydrates) gets stored as fat, which is our long-term energy storage.

Carbohydrates are sugars. Ultimately when we eat carbohydrates they get broken down into glucose, fructose, or a combination of the two.

Most of our dietary carbohydrates come from plants. Virtually none come from animal tissue.

Foods to Avoid

Processed Carbohydrates, refined grains, and sugars disrupt insulin signaling. Studies consistently show their association with metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. The rapid blood sugar spikes they cause may trigger inflammation and oxidative stress.

Industrial Seed Oils Vegetable oils like soybean, corn, and canola oil are high in omega-6 fatty acids. When consumed disproportionately to omega-3s, they promote inflammatory prostaglandins. These modern oils undergo extensive processing involving chemical solvents and high heat.

Legumes and Nightshades Beans, tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes contain compounds like lectins and alkaloids. These may impair nutrient absorption and worsen autoimmune conditions in sensitive individuals. Traditional cultures typically processed these foods extensively to neutralize anti-nutrients.
1. Eliminate anything containing added sugar from your diet. This sugar provides no benefit to your body and leads to high blood sugar, high insulin levels & chronic inflammation. This includes fruit juices which in many cases contain more sugar than a Coke. 2. Eliminate all grains & legumes from your diet. Wheat, rice, oats, corn, soybeans, etc. These have very little in the way of meaningful nutrition and contain two things to avoid: 1. starch-long chains of sugar that break down into sugar in your body & 2. gluten-like inflammatory proteins that lead to chronic inflammation. 3. Eliminate seed oils from your diet. Canola, soybean, corn, peanut, sunflower, safflower, etc. These oils are new to the human diet and contain too much Omega-6 fatty acids that research has shown to lead to chronic inflammation in some people. *** These 1st 3 steps will remove 100% of ultra-processed food from your diet and will give immediate results (in weeks) for 80% of people. 4. Make sure each meal contains meat, seafood or eggs. These foods were eaten by your ancestors for millions of years and are very nutrient-dense. Although many main-stream sources claim that these foods are inflammatory, we've seen bloodwork from 10,000's of people whose inflammatory markers go down on meat.

Make sure what you eat is actually food. Look at this chart comparing foods from the 70s to today.

Carbohydrate Knob theory: Some people can tolerate more carbs than others. People who fatten easily or develop diabetes easily need to turn down their carb intake knob closer to zero. Young, active people can tolerate more natural carbs in their diet. Remember, there is no Need for carbs in the diet. As you turn down the Carb Intake Knob more & more you will be eating more meat, eggs & seafood. Snacking: Snacking is never healthy, regardless of the snack. Eat discrete meals during the day separated by periods of not eating. Eating due to boredom or stress is never a healthy choice. Plant Toxins: All plants use chemical defense chemicals to protect their parts, this is inarguable. Some plants are more toxic than others. Some people can tolerate these toxins more than others. Anyone suffering from inflammatory or auto-immune disease should try 90 days of Carnivore to see if they are reacting to the plant chemicals. DAIRY: All mammals (you) can tolerate dairy as an infant. At about age 4-8 years most people (70% +/-) become lactose intolerant. That is not the only problem with dairy. Many people also become sensitive to the Caseins & Whey in milk. This manifests in inflammatory conditions of the skin, joints, gut, mental.

Dairy also contains caso-morphins that mimic morphine in the brain and can make dairy addictive to some people. This is good for keeping babies interested in mother's milk, but can cause adults to over eat/drink dairy for the good feeling. Some cheeses actually concentrate the caso-morphin content.

In a nutshell: Literally just start eating more beef & fat every week, eliminate sugar, gluten, oxalates, lectins. Soon you’ll feel better, as you do you’ll crave beef and will find that’s what you need to nourish your body. Enjoy all cuts of beef, ground, roasts, make bone broth using the bones. Eat steak once a week.


Here is a YouTube video with four different doctors who advocate the carnivore diet and tell their patients to try it. PLUS! A World Premiere of a 2 minute clip from the new Carnivore documentary. Get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about nutrition. Animal is a groundbreaking documentary that delves into the science, stories, and societal shifts surrounding the carnivore lifestyle. Featuring insights from leading experts and transformative personal journeys, this film aims to ignite a global conversation about what it truly means to eat ancestrally. Join us as we explore the path back to our roots—one bite at a time. (I think they changed the name to Healing Humanity.)


I also look at Judy Cho and Nutrition with Judy. She wrote a book entitled Carnivore Cure. Check out her website and You Tube channel.

Red meat has been demonized for too long when it is a superfood. And make sure to get the red meat with extra fat!
😓I’m grateful that the fattier cuts of ground beef are cheaper but it shows how wrong our nutritional guidance is currently.
⛑We need fat for so many reasons, some including hormone health, immune health, skin health, and mental health.
💡If you cook ground beef on the pan, make sure to use all the drippings in the pan, otherwise, you’re eating lean ground beef.
🦠And if you get loose stools when you consume rendered fat, it’s time to heal your gut.
⚠️You should be able to tolerate any amount of fat—even 80% of total calories. Yes, if you can’t, you need some gut healing.
❓So why is digestion so important?
🔄Just because an 8 oz serving of meat has 142% of your DV% for vitamin B12, that does not mean you are absorbing all of it. We are all different. There are many co-factors and enzymes in the body that need to all play nicely (and be present) together for nutrients to do their job.
🧬Let me give you the example of digestion. B12 is primarily created in the large intestine (some B12 can be absorbed in the small intestine). If your digestive process is not functioning optimally, much of the B12 may not get absorbed.
🚽If you ate low-fat and now switching to meat-based, your gallbladder may be struggling. Your gallbladder has to release bile in order for fat to break down. (Liver has bile too). With a low-fat diet, the bile can get old and when fat needs to be broken down, the gallbladder tries to contract but is unable to release the viscous bile. Enter rancidity in the colon and the runs.
💊If you have leaky gut, it’s likely you need digestive support. Fix your gut to really ensure you’re absorbing your nutrients.
🥩 But even if you have a health condition, metabolic disorders, or autoimmune issues, you'll have a better chance at absorbing nutrients from meat than from vegetables, especially nutrients like iron and B12.
Unfortunately, vegetables lack B12 and contain non-heme iron (which the body has a more difficult time absorbing than meat's heme iron.)







On this website developed by Dr. Shawn Baker -- Carnivore.diet -- he interviews people who experienced massive success on changing their diet. If you click on this link it will take you to the Carnivore Diet Success Stories where you can look through them and decide which to listen to.




It's now 2025, and this You Tube video has popped up on my Facebook page, I think because I follow Dr. Ken Berry and he is a part of the documentary. These people are doing a documentary on the carnivore diet and how it has literally saved the lives of hundreds of people. It's called Healing Humanity. 


Watch this You Tube video with Dr. Ken Berry, Kerry, and Adam talk about their lives as carnivore and how it has healed so many people around the world. As you watch, look at this picture of the middle person, Kerry, and what carnivore has done to his life. 

Kerry Mann (before Carnivore)


Kerry Mann and his wife are the founders of Healing Humanity. Here they share their favorite carnivore meal, which they say has saved their lives.  In their You Tube channel (Homestead How) they share what carnivore has done to their lives and their children's lives, and what they typically eat.


What happens to your organs and body when you eat totally carnivore. Most people think the carnivore diet is just a weight loss regime. But what really happens inside your body when you go carnivore will absolutely blow your mind. In this video, we uncover the surprising biological changes that take place in multiple organ systems - the heart, liver, gut, brain, hormones and more. When you understand what happens under the surface, you’ll never look at food the same way again.


What is the Proper Human Diet? Dr. Ken Berry has developed a website on it where he gives many different suggestions as to what your should be eating. I keep looking for recipes to give me ideas as to what to make for lunches and dinners. I've got breakfast down pat (turkey sausage, eggs & cheese), but I'm still eating too many carbs at lunch and dinner.

As a life long vegetarian, Jen Mann suffered from migraines and lymphedema, and being tired all the time. She is married to Kerry Mann, who is doing the documentary entitled Healing Humanity. Listen to her story of healing through diet.


Join Laura in this interview where she discusses her journey into becoming a carnivore and the incredible changes she experienced in her health and appearance. She shares how she transitioned from a standard diet to a ketogenic diet and eventually found the carnivore lifestyle.

Laura opens up about her struggles with weight gain, sugar cravings, and health issues like hair loss and macular degeneration. She also talks about the positive effects of a carnivore diet, including improved energy levels, weight loss, and rejuvenated skin. This inspiring interview highlights the power of the carnivore lifestyle in transforming health and well-being.


When I log onto You Tube, there is a list of topics to click on, but I choose the Carnivore videos and found this guy today. I decided to listen to him because he is in the "senior" category like me and Jim, instead of the younger looking crowd. He has some very good information to share about his health -- he quit drinking, went carnivore and lost over 100 pounds. This video explains the "side effects" he experienced by going Carnivore:


*****************************
This is a very enlightening video by Mikhaila Peterson about the many illnesses she experienced throughout her life. After many years, she healed herself by going on the "Lion Diet." Listen to her remarkable story here:


Mikhaila Peterson Fuller ~~ Her Testimony:
"When I was two, I started to limp, and at seven I was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in 37 joints. At age eight, I was put on injectable immunosuppressants. At 12, I was diagnosed with severe depression and put on antidepressants. At 14, I was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia, which is a fancy definition for chronic fatigue, and I could barely get out of bed for years. My hip and ankle were replaced when I was 17 from the arthritis that wasn't managed by the medications I was on. And I spent a year on Oxycontin, limping around what felt like broken bones, trying to stay hopeful and not kill myself. I went to University for Biomedical Science when it became apparent that nobody in the medical system could help me, and the life-saving treatments I was on weren't saving my life. When I was 23, I completely changed my diet, which was radical, and I didn't think it was gonna work. I removed processed foods and only ate whole foods, primarily meat, and my life changed rapidly. I felt like I had stepped out of hell. I didn't know that I was trapped in, into heaven. It turned my world upside down.

Then I had to get off of the medications I was on. Antidepressant withdrawal, that neither me nor my doctors knew existed, was worse than the opiate withdrawal I had been through after I was treated with OxyContin. After I stopped taking the eight medications I was on and had a baby, my autoimmune symptoms and depression started sneaking back in and willing to do anything to not be sick. I tried and this sounds ridiculous but I tried eating only meat and by that I mean beef salt and water only. Knowing beef was the one food that didn't contribute to my arthritis and depression. Eating only meat put my symptoms into remission again in six weeks. I've only been eating beef and lamb for seven years now in order to keep my symptoms in remission. I'm not on any medication. I have no symptoms of disease. I'm in complete remission after spending 16 years being medicated with multiple joints replaced.

I spent seven years trying to get the medical community to take this seriously and conduct some studies. The plant free ketogenic diet I'm on, which is what it is. It's gone viral on TikTok, has over 500,000 people following it on social media. The number of Google searches for these ketogenic diets has skyrocketed since about 2017. I have groups online with over 30,000 people who follow the same diet as me for autoimmunity and mental disorders that they've been unable to treat any other way. These people are putting their diseases into remissions after decades. This way of treating disease has garnered an international attention from the Times to Fox to Sky News Australia.

The problem is, most people don't know that what they're consuming is making them sick. They know junk food is bad, but they don't realize it's causing chronic disease, and neither do their healthcare providers. When you're diagnosed with a mental or autoimmune disorder, diet and the state of your gut isn't even mentioned. If it is brought up, you're ostracized. One of the leading theories to get a bit nerdy in understanding chronic illness is increased intestinal permeability, which you can measure with lab work with zonulin levels. In a healthy digestive system, the gut lining serves as a barrier, allowing nutrients to pass through while keeping harmful substances out of the bloodstream. However, because of the high carb recommendations and ultra-processed foods we're exposed to and chemicals we're currently encouraged to consume from the food pyramid and our doctors. Our diets damage our gut barrier, which causes particles from the gut to leak into the bloodstream. A lot of the chemicals and preservatives in foods we consume are actually legal in other countries. I spent years so livid at the medical industry that I wouldn't go into a hospital. How dare I be treated with medications and end up losing joints when dietary intervention works? How dare these medical doctors tell me there was nothing I can do? I'd never be where I am today without this diet. I truly believed I would have died.

I'm not suggesting the average person does this extreme version of a ketogenic diet. I am specifically suggesting that this diet is researched as a potential treatment for autoimmunity and psychiatric disorders with the goal of eventually healing the gut and reintroducing more healthy whole foods, and that the ideological war on meat needs to end. I've seen tens of thousands of people seek complete remission in as little as six weeks. Most drugs don't work that fast, and no drug fixes the root cause. Approximately one in four Americans are on psychiatric medications for psychiatric illness and approximately one in 10 has an autoimmune disorder.

I believe all these millions of people could be symptom-free with proper dietary interventions ranging from low carb to ketogenic to plant-free ketogenic to whole food, depending on the severity of the illness. Dietary intervention is what doctors should suggest first before putting people on medications that do not treat the underlying problem, some of which cause horrible dependence, making them nearly impossible to get off of treating chronic disease, which we now know is caused by the environment and our diet, without looking at diet as the treatment, should be considered malpractice. My request, shared by millions of people using these diets to treat themselves, is for the government to fund studies on ketogenic and plant-free ketogenic diets as potential treatments for autoimmunity and psychiatric disorders. There are only a few studies that don't list because of the lack of funding. One study shows remission in treatments of Crohn's disease, which is a terrible intestinal autoimmune disorder that can result in people using colostomy bags for the rest of their life. Another study shows complete remission of anorexia.

Unless people start being treated with dietary interventions using these ketogenic diets, and the food pyramid prioritizes meat and low carb whole foods so that people can avoid becoming chronically ill in the first place, and Americans are told that the ultra processed foods aren't just unhealthy, they're making us chronically ill. America is going to get fatter, sicker, more mentally ill, and more expensive. If the government funds these studies, America could be at the forefront of these scientific discoveries. Thank you very much for your time. It's an honor to be here. Thank you."

Dr. Lisa Wiederman, an optometrist, has been on a carnivore diet since 2009. Here is a great discussion on health and eye health with Dr. Ken Berry:


Why the Carnivore diet might be the key to a longer, healthier life with Dr. Lisa Wiederman.


CARNIVORE Diet (Beginner's Guide) All You Need to Get Started ~~


Dr. Ken Berry's Keto101, 7 Steps to Starting the Keto Diet:


1. Remove all sugars from your diet
2. Remove all grains, including wheat and rice
3. Remove all seed oils
4. Include healthy fats in your diet (butter)
5. Do not be afraid of salt (we eat a few grains of this salt every day)
6. Eat whole, real foods
7. Mind your electrolytes (we use Nuun) I tried the LMNT electrolytes and they were awful. Dr. Berry and his wife drink them, but I think the Nuun has a better flavor)


Butter is the most nutrient dense condiment on Earth. Anyone who says otherwise is brainwashed, lying or trying to sell margarine.


Another thing that goes along with number 1 and sugar is fatty liver, which is caused by eating too much fructose. Listen to Dr. Berry explain how to fix a fatty liver:

. . . . Before
 we examine specific cultures, let’s address what modern dietary guidelines desperately want you to forget: for two million years, humans weren’t omnivores dabbling in a bit of everything. We were apex predators. Hypercarnivores. And this isn’t fringe theory: it’s what happens when you actually examine human biology rather than comparing us to modern hunter-gatherers who can’t hunt elephants anymore.

I’m Chris, and I make recipes that prove eating low carb doesn’t have to be boring or complicated. From keto comfort food to carnivore classics, every dish is high-protein, flavor-packed, and built to help you live stronger, leaner, and louder. Whether you’re full carnivore, keto curious, or just trying to ditch the sugar, you’ll find easy meal prep ideas, zero-carb staples, and meat-based recipes that anyone — even your non-keto friends — will love.

Laura Spath ~~ Lost 120 pounds in 2018 on a Carnivore Diet and maintained that in 2019. In 2020 I struggled with some weight gain and then lost it again in 2021. For the last few years I have been maintaining a stable weight. In December 2022 I had skin removal surgery (tummy tuck), and in Feb 2025 I had a brachioplasty and bra line lift for skin removal. This channel has documented all of that journey and we share how our family lives normal lives. My husband has also lost over 100 pounds and eats a carnivore diet. He reversed his type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and more by using carnivore and fasting.
 
My name is Anita, I am in my sixties and a Senior following an Animal Based Ketogenic Diet (Ketogenic Woman). Most days that looks like Carnivore! I prefer to follow Carnivore with a 'K' because I believe in making ketones, after having gone from low carb to keto to ketovore and now mostly Carnivore. I have lost almost 150lbs over the course of the past few years. The goal of this channel is to make Keto and Carnivore more accessible to the average person who has found themselves getting older and sicker and finds the idea of just eating meat to be too overwhelming. I am here for YOU.

Indigo Nili ~~ Hi! I'm Nili, a mom of four beautiful girls and one boy, who often co-star in my videos. Who am I kidding? They always steal the show! I love being a stay-at-home wife and homeschooling mom, and I SO appreciate this little outlet where Youtube allows me to share my life with the wider world. Thanks so much for watching! Oh yeah, and I also make videos about my Instant Pot adventures.

Emma the Carnivore shows how to make the best and easiest carnivore dish ever: Beef, butter, bacon, eggs & cheese:


Here are more videos on people in their 70s who have healed their ailments with the carnivore diet:

75 year old Steve Borcherdt was beyond miserable and his life completely turned around when he discovered that his body responded best to eating carnivore! Not only did he lose weight but it improved his mental and physical health as well in countless ways! This has inspired his journey to help others find hope no matter what age they are.


In this video Mitch Weiss ponders what happened to himself over the past year as he adapted to this carnivore way of eating at 75 years old. Did he have to change his entire lifestyle fist, or did his lifestyle change because of the change in diet? At 76, he has discovered the answer.


Here's his next video:
