Carnivore Diet Checklist [Tips to start a Carnivore Diet] 2024

Started at 262 lbs in early spring, today I'm at 223 lbs. A1C from 9.2 down to 5.7. I'm a believer. Thank you.

Started carnivore 8 days before my ortho appointment for my sore achy knees. 2 days before appointment woke up with zero pain in knees. Went to appointment anyway and told the doctor about the turnaround and without even thinking he exclaimed "nothing to due with your diet , just a coincidence" at that point i decided i will never see that doctor again.

I've been on Carnivore for 9 months. I have lost 80 pounds. My A1C is now 5.1. My blood pressure now runs about 110/70. My Family Doctor has removed me from Metformin, Lisinopril and Amlodipine. The Carnivore Diet had been a life changer for me.

149 days carnivore … 304lbs to 264lbs , A1C 5.1 , BP normal , lower bowel issues gone the list goes on ..however the best of all SOBER !!!

I am 17 y/o and have suffered from horrible cystic face and body acne for too long. I also get bloated and belly pain almost every time I eat. I’m sick of feeling sick and ugly! No more sugarcoating things for myself. I have to take measures into my own hands because any doctor I’ve ever seen has immediately tried to put me on acutane or birth control after one 30 min visit. I’m starting carnivore TODAY.

My Why was powerful. I wanted to heal skin cancer and prevent reoccurrance. 2.5 years carnivore. So far so good. 😊

I'm starting because I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.... E V E R Y D A Y !

I'm 250 pounds , I got cancer in 2020 and I've been in horrible depression since. I have horrible belly pains that no one has been able to help me with. I even had exploratory surgery with no help. I found you on YT, and it's February of 2024 and I am going to try this and see if it can help me. Thank you for putting it on here for people to find. I hope it helps.

I just celebrated my one year carniversary, 60 year old female, started at 215 pounds on a 5.3 tall body. So miserable and lifeless, just trying to get through each day with all the extra weight and looming health issues. A year later, have been steady at 145, feel like I am 40 again, I love meat and I actually crave steak and eggs. We raise our own chickens so the eggs are fresh. I don't think about food the way I used to that is for certain. I used to live to eat, now I eat to live. And down to one medication, hoping to be off it soon!

Thank you for this. My wife and I started today on the carnivore diet. We live in Henderson Tn not far from you and my wife is from Camden. I’m 52 and she is 51. We cut out meat over a year ago and have had nothing but weight and inflammation issues ever since. I’m battling gout right now. We are ready for a change. We accept the 90 day challenge and started today with wild Turkey for breakfast and ribeye for supper.

God and you Dr Ken, are responsible for me being successful on the carnivore diet for 15 1/2 months. No pain, off all medications for Lupus, arthritis, inflammation. I am in my 77th year of life and love being healthy. God bless you and your family.

My husband and I started keto/ketovore a year ago on Jan. 1, 2023. My husband has lost almost 100 pounds and I have lost 38. We both have more energy, better mental clarity and few aches and pains in our 60's and 70's.

Here is my healing updated list. To those new to carnivore- Carnivore diet cured so much for me! I update this list as time passes so it is always up to date, newest items at bottom of list. I have been zero carb carnivore for 11 and 1/2 months. * 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 (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *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 (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more brain fog *No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows *used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more! *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 when walking around. * 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. *Before carnivore- 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. 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 not even a month in 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! * I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too! *Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before. *Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides! *I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone! *I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore. *My teeth look more white on carnivore. *My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome! *i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone. * at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 11 months. *the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry! (Newest update added!) *when laying still in bed to fall asleep at times I would feel dizzy or feel like I was falling through the mattress a bit. I would be laying still and get that suddenly. Felt weird and made it hard to fall asleep. Never diagnosed with vertigo, but it may have been that. I no longer have that since I have been carnivore, which is nice! *little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance! *always had a little numb feeling on top inner corners of big toes. Never diagnosed. Now 1 year in I realized it is almost completely healed. I can feel the nerves in my skin. 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! ☺️👍🏻

My favourite 'non-scale victory' on Carnivore is that I no longer think about about food all day every day, as I did in the past, even when on Keto. Such a feeling of freedom!

I’m starting today! I need a change! Send some prayers my way!!!!!!!!❤

I have tried Keto and Carnivore for a few years and never lost a pound. I said I would never do it again but listening to Jason Fung showed me what has been going on. I take 200 units of a condensed Humalog insulin and it makes my glucose worse every time they increase the units. It causes me to gain weight and makes my glucose worse. I now am getting readings in the 500’s but won’t call my Endocrinologist because they will just increase my insulin again. I can not even walk anymore and I never could convince them I was eating low carb. I have felt so hopeless.He mentioned you can not treat Hyperinsulinemia with insulin. It is like treating an alcoholic with alcohol. My husband agreed to eat my freezer full of Nutri System meals so I can try Carnivore again. I started yesterday, and after watching this video, I commit to 90 days. I will be patient this time and won’t be afraid of fat.

After my 90 days, 3 years ago, I had an awakening. My mind was clear, my weight was down, my back pain was eliminated, skin cleared up, cysts in my breast shrunk, and I had a pituitary tumor that shrunk. Many many benefits. Thank you for this updated beginners guide.

Thank you Dr Berry!!!! I’m down nearly 40 pounds and have completely reversed my type 2 diabetes!!!!

Newbie here. I'm 65 and suffer from Inflammation and pain. I am ready to start the 90 day challenge. I was brainwashed also to thinking I need to eat grains and fruits with less meat. I'm sick of hurting and ready for a change. Thank you for sharing this information 🙏

Last summer i did intermittent fasting keto Only eating any meat / fish , salad and non starch veg. 3 weeks in, I went from walking with a cane, low back and knees pain. To no cane, walking quickly, going up and down stairs easily, glowing skin, tons of energy!! Literally a miracle!! I did alot of research on intermittent fasting, after 16 hours not eating counting sleep time, your body produces stem cells, which heals your body, the inflammation went away from not eating sugar and any wheat or starch. I went back into old eating habits loving bread and pasta being italian, and eating sugar. Im back to square 1 !! Knees pain, low back pain, lower energy, difficulty walking up n down stairs. So back at it started today. I know for a fact it works
