    Carnivore For Life, Despite Complications

    I have been doing a Carnivore Diet for the last year, and it's been amazing, despite some complications that almost scared me into quitting. But I am glad I didn't. I have lost 55 pounds, and reversed ulcerative colitis, hypertension, skin tags, prediabetes, and what might have been narcolepsy. Due to one particular condition that hasn't gone away, my lab work and blood testing doesn't always net the good results many others reap on this meat-based ketogenic way of eating. I've learned to manage it though, and I will never give up my carnivore-centric dietary lifestyle.

    Thank you for sharing, I've just subscribed too! What's your plan for the channel? Interviews, or mostly you chatting to camera? 

    If it's just you talking to camera, my honest feedback would be to add visuals - in this video, before/after, childhood photos as you mentioned you were a fat kid... That's what most YouTubers are doing these days. And if you'll just talk, without extra visuals, that'll probably be more suited to a podcast rather than video... (and I'm way more into podcasts than videos because I can multitask!)

    Hope this is helpful, no offense meant!

    Excellent Bob. Very professional, authoritative and well spoken. You are definitely a natural.

    I was into Speech & Debate in high school, and in my adult life I have done a lot of public speaking.

    Both. I have about 15 video ideas in the works, but I do really want to do interviews with others who have had success with a carnivore centric diet, whether that's a meat-based keto or ketovore diet, an animal-based diet, or a strict carnivore or lion diet.

    Yes, one of the video ideas I have is to actually show past pics of myself next to current ones. I spent some time the other day hunting for some and found some good ones. Well, fat ones I should say, lol. 

    I'll be pushing this in audio only as well. My current thinking is to create with a view to video first, and then crosspost it to a podcast platform. I'm a little on the fence whether I want to crosspost everything or hold back some content to be unique to YouTube.

    This was a great intro. My only observation is that the cadence of your speech could tik up just a bit faster. I listened at double speed where I usually listen at 1.5-1.75 and I felt I could have sped you up to 2.25 if it were possible and still understood you. IDK if this makes sense, but when listening like a podcast, slower cadence puts me to sleep and leaves room for ADHD mind to go off on it's own tangents.

    That's interesting. My public speaking experience is mostly in a teaching/preaching setting where you want to slow down to let the points sink in. But now that I think about it, many of the YouTubers and Podcasts I listen to they seen to talk at a faster pace.

    Here in the rural areas, fast talkers are usually salesmen or someone from not around here. I think you did just fine. But that's just me. You do whatever you want. 

    I sometimes think the faster pace on youtube comes from lots of editing. Either to cut out the mistakes and/or to make it fit a certain timeline.

    And that makes perfect sense for those situations, the advantage of YouTube or a podcast is that I can go back a few seconds if I missed something and some videos I noticed will show the most replayed part of the video, IDK if that is a feature that the content creators control.

    Thank you.

    I was MIA yesterday because I'm editing the next one 😉

    I'll see if YouTube sends me a notification. Sometimes they tend to not for carnivore channels it seems. I've also heard of certain carnivore channels being shadow-banned or forcibly unsubbing people from their channels. It's happened to Professor Bart Kay and Harry Serpanos. 

    The agenda against our channels is clear as day, unfortunately.

    Nice intro.  I like the story about how you "discovered" it.  To me, that speaks volumes how you "did nothing" but change the way you eat.  Even did less exercise because of your situation.

    I'm 225 now, down from 240 just from detoxing.  But I need more help.  Time to start planning!  "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!"  :whistle:

    The fun part was my wife hid the scale when I broke my ankle, because I would weigh in every morning. So I actually went over a month without weighing in, and when I finally did, I was another 10 pounds down - to which I was delighted.

    • My doctor is the same but what’s funny is my cardiologist loves what I’m doing and what the diet has done for me.      I would be honest with him. We are the randomized control studies that prove this way of eating works. If your doctor thinks that his medication is helping you then he will assume the same thing for the next patient. If you are honest with him then he can monitor your results and see that this works and it just may convince him that this is a viable option to good health. 
    • I´m not sure what to tell my doc either. I could list about fifteen things that are better in my life now, with ketovore diet,including having cut BP meds much lower and quit Statin. I could let doc believe that meds have miraculously healed me... without mentioning quitting some... But then there is LDL- It will be high especially now in the beginning of keto.  I will get caught for healing myself in a wrong way.
    • I'm sort of in the same boat.  My family doctor has been genuinely supportive of the diet. I think if I had told him about my plans from Day 1 he would not have been as supportive. I let him in on the diet after I had dropped a bunch of weight and told him I had been off my medicine for several months.  He gave me a non-statin sample as he was concerned with my LDL number in the 180's. He gave me the 'separate your eggs' instruction and eat meats that are leaner/less fatty. I chose to not use the medicine and continue with meats, salt and water.  Maybe one of the funnies, is afterwards I shifted into eating to gain muscle so the egg content per day went way up. 3 months later my LDL dropped from the 180's to the 150's, about 35 points. I will admit, I had become accepting of the fact my eating habits might drive my numbers up some, and mostly I was worried they would skyrocket with the additional fatty meats and eggs. When the LDL dropped, I was pleasantly surprised, but equal to that was my confusion.  My lifting has increased and are higher in intensity, weight and over-all volume compared to just five or six months ago. I just started doing actual splits based on muscle groups. I couple that with eating a boat load of food trying to hit my 'needed protein' for muscle growth, especially eggs, averaging 8 or so a day. I have an appointment in a few weeks. I'm debating on my approach. Do I lead off with I didn't use the medicine and through diet and more intense exercise my LDL improved? and see where he lands on my approach. Or, do I go thru the motions allowing him to think the prescription is improving some of my numbers? Decisions. Decisions. I will have another series of blood tests in a couple months. I'm hoping to see continued improvements in my immunoglobulins numbers as well.  I'm a 'knock on wood' type when things are going well, so I am knocking on wood and don't want to jinx the progress, but I do feel like for now I am winning. Pretty good feeling. Scott
    • OP did not stay here. I just talked about this with my wife today,again.  Cutting carbs would be such an easy thing for anyone to try, just for a few weeks. Many notice the cravings for sugar go away in that time, also the scale may show smaller numbers quickly. But people don´t believe.  I have obese friends that I tried to talk about this 20 years ago, not preaching but using myself as an example. They listen,say "wow" - and eat more potatoes and candy. I rarely tell anyone about my diet any more,it´s just not worth it. "Great but fat makes you fat and cholesterol kills you!" Those attitudes are just so deep. People who buy  "light low fat" -food are usually the biggest in supermarkets. And keep getting larger... Okay sorry for the rant. I just can´t see why folks try other diets, some practically stop eating... why not even try low carb/carni/keto whatever carb restriction? And eat like a King,I just did:    
    • Sorry I can not do that. I can handle two morning cups well but if I end up drinking a few more in the afternoon, I start getting shaky and nervous. When driving I break all speed limits. If at a shooting range, I can´t hit anything. Things like that.
