Nope. I'm not weak. I've eaten carnivore for 5 years. I generally work out 5 days a week for 2 hours a day. I've even worked out while fasting 48-72 hours. Lol. I'm 71.

Haven't seen many weak carnivores. However, I have seen many weak vegans. BEEF. The original plant based meat. 👍

My husband was eating a Klondike Ice Cream bar last night. I used to love those. I took a small bite. It was disgustingly sweet…I have no desire to eat that anymore. 6 months carnivore

I'm 55 and am coming up on a solid 2 years of Carnivore Diet. Reversed a few health issues and feel better than when in my 30's. I was treated with a very low fat high vegetarian professional diet started 20 years ago. Went total vegan out of failing health concern. I got severely sick on the Vegan diet professionally administered. It was literally killing me. Many drugs were given to me to keep getting up and moving a little. Carnivore has saved my life and I can see very clearly how ignorant our health care system is. I has some good surgery work done but the rest was all quackery drug directed. They were killing me slowly but surely. If you are Vegan I understand and accept your dedication to save the animals. However just know you are not designed to eat plants and nuts. You are a carnivore by design. Plants are just a filler until you can get food. Meat...

Good interview. I’m a cheater I’ve low carb for 5 yr. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at 70 and felt so lucky that 25 years earlier I followed the Akins program mainly to help control migraines. Had them for years and with Dr. help. Well I dove into Atkins on a suggestion to try something different. Well the headaches were GONE within that week. Well feeling was great but I seemed to lose my motivation to restrict my food and after 9 months I decided to eat and got REFATTED and the headaches came back slowly but surely. This is to long. I’m 76 mostly meat and no headaches And my body doesn’t have a old man appearance. Thanks.

Love the questions in this interview, also love the answers

I have gotten stronger on carnivore and i am loosing weight. Life is awesome again!!❤

I have been carnivore 39 years and yes I am very thin. The interesting thing is that at 54 I have no aches or pains which is very unusual for someone who is 6'6" tall. If you see me in a video you will notice I have a full head of hair as well.

The two main things people experience when going carnivore is a bunch of weight loss and general fatigue/weakness. Hunger signaling gets down regulated, electrolyte imbalances are common, and a high level of ketosis is highly catabolic. Adding electrolytes to everything and eating a full calorie count is almost always the solution.

ive been slowly merging toward carn. and getting stonger lifting much more weights and gaining more muscle💪

I loved your description of how this is an elimination diet and it allows us to see the reactions our bodies are giving us. I used to love pistachios. I have been strict Carnivore since Jan and have now stopped drinking too. I fell off the wagon and ate pistachios the last week and got a serious reaction after 4-5 days of eating them. WOW! got to listen now. Spices bad. Nuts bad. Oxalates in veggies bad. Fruit of course is bad and I have not had grains in years. Yep just meat and fat and everything is healing. Thank you Dr. Chaffee.

On what he is saying. So I did not go to strict carnivore like he does. I eat meat, milk, eggs, fruit, honey. But I dtopped eating like crap (vegetables, and have a cheat meal 2 times a week with French fries, and drinking coffee and energy drinks all the time) my body feels so much better. I use to be sore and stiff constantly. I thought it was due to my powerlifting, but it turns out giving up coffee which was the last thing on my elimination all the achiness went away. And that was decaf coffee swiss water decafinated. But, without the coffee I have a lot of depression symptoms. I added back in tea 1.5 years later and didn't notice anything. But, I learned that tea has a lot of fluoride and those who drink a lot of tea tend to be more predisposed to fractures, and osteoarthritis. So I decided to try the decaf coffee. At first it was fine no achiness and no stiffness. My depression symptoms vanished with my first sip. But then within 2 weeks of drinking it and I felt just as stiff as 2 years prior and I wasn't use to that. I literally couldn't run or jump with my kids because I felt like I was going to tear something I was so tight. Then my back started hurting. But my mood was so much better I thought it might be something else I had also just started adding tomatoes back into my diet. So I eliminated that which seemed to help ( I really didn't want to give up my swiss water decaf) but the stiffness just didn't get any better. So I gave up the coffee. Within 24 hours my stiffness was decreased by 80 percent. By day 2 it decreased by 95%, I'm now on day three and no stiffness. So back to what he was saying I don't think you'll risk anaphylaxis if you accidentally eat a piece of parsley you'll just know you are something you shouldn't have. Like how I was with the coffee. Like if I lived a sedentary lifestyle not lifting or running and jumping with my kids it would only be a slight discomfort. But when I tried to take of a run or touch my toes I felt too tight to safely do that without a proper warm up.

Love your content 🇿🇦🐐😊 Great interview 🎉

I notice whenever I eat beef bolognese at the staff canteen I get a recurring intense pain in my right Achilles tendon. It feels incredibly sore & lasts at least 3 days leaving me finding it impossible to walk without a limp for the duration. I’ve been strict carnivore for around 5 years now. I’ve never felt better in SO many ways, but if I stray off the path out of desperation, for example, not being early enough to set off to work to get food from the supermarket before going into work, and having to resort to food with plant foods in etc, that’s when I notice my body’s sensitivities to the toxins come biting me in the ass again. The funny thing is the last time I ate a large meal from the canteen with onions and other vegetables mixed in, it was beef bolognese, and the same acute pain in the exact spot on my Achilles came up. That time it lasted almost a week. And then this time a few months later I strayed with the same beef bolognese, and right on-cue around a day later the same intense pain in the exact same spot. It lasted a few days less this time, but since I’m so strict and consistent with everything in my diet & my lifestyle is so routine, it was easy for me to triangulate on the issue and what had caused it! Really is fascinating as heck seeing these issues and recognising their origin.

I used to feel weak on keto but it was probably because I didn't eat enough food. On carnavore it's really easy to fill up on nutritious food

I have to donate MY 2 cents here. First let me paint a picture...(chicken scratch sketch really)...I first went into ketosis Thanksgiving day 2019. 51 yrs old. 250+lbs. (I had no scale) Clean, strict KETO. By April 2020 I was down 85 lbs. I ONLY had urine test strips. Never an actual blood meter. I did begin consuming all those then NEW koto snacks that began coming out about 5-6 months after I started keto so I did became what's called "dirty" keto. Also, I stayed in ketosis because it felt good. It was a struggle to stay in keto though. According to those urine test strips I only was ever in "trace" mode. Basically barely any ketones in my urine. Fast forward 3 years-June 2023. I FINALLY went full carnivore. Other than around 12 ounces of buttered coffee in the morning I gave up all plant food. No fake sugars, nothing. The only thing processed is my butter and bacon. I CAN NOT BELIEVE I WAITED SO LONG😔 Anyways...the transition was very minimal. I had been keto and was fat adapted. And just like everyone in the comments claims...the benefits and changes have been phenomenal. So unbelievable its no wonder people struggle to believe it. It is kind of miraculous. Im babbling. Sorry. THE POINT IM TRYING TO MAKE IS....since day 2 of my transition to 100% carnivore with coffee according to urine test strips I am in "high ketosis". And 2 months later I JUST STAY IN DEEP KETOSIS!! Effortlessly! After 3 years of literally straggling every day to produce a faint pink tint on those test strips...without fail it is very dark pink/burgundy/ purple ( whatever shade you want to call it.) I stay in that wonderful state of ketosis now. I call it PERFECT KETOSIS. I wish I could afford one of those ketone blood meters but they have not decreased in price at all these last 4 years. And I certainly don't need one. I can FEEL if I ever am not in ketosis. But just like most other people who have trudged through this amazing journey YOU SO BADLY WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW! Everybody deserves to feel this damn good!! And its JUST FOOD! No tricks, no gimmicks, NO EXTRA MONEY! 🥺 But the brainwashing has been so well done that even proof isn't always enough. The movie The Matrix is quoted constantly. And I believe now that the real and actual "Matrix" is the state that carbohydrates put us in. And the "red pill" is nothing more than fatty meat. Absolute deviance. Rant over.

I really feel good by eating meats and fish, but also eggs and cheese and avo's, olives and so on. So I might be getting around 20g of carbs per day, and the foods mentioned are generally accepted to be healthy. But my fat intake is around 120g and protein intake around 100g per day. I don't eat any processed foods, no sugars. So very low HFLC is making me feel better than I ever did. I could never eat only meat. To each his own.

Thanks ❤️👍

Well said and explained so that the average public can understand. The subject was well covered in great dialect. You have to remember the body does very well in surviving and tolerating changes. I feel safe that it will adjust. Remember people all over the world don't have the same eating availability through choice, Yet, look how long people have been surviving and for many years.

I'm 3 months in and I'm weak and tired all the time. I could sleep all day and still sleep at night. At first, I had insomnia. What could be wrong?

Awesome Dr. I felt like doing something like this now I know it matters. I’m 76 and was puffed up like a will inflated beach ball now I’m completely deflated by 50 lbs lost but now my soft belly feels like there’s no muscle. I wonder if that area muscle is redeemable.

Took me forever to take off, I was worn out after 4-5 hours at work, now it is no problem to work allday with even more energy than before, I wasnt eating enough, not enough water/elects, I would just work and forget like I was on carbs then crash

I'm so glad I learned about the proper human diet. 61 years old and healthier than I've ever been in my entire life...and I've only been a STRICT carnivore for 8 months or so (before that was a couple years of the primal diet, which included a big-ass salad most days...and "keto treats", and avocados and coconut meat and, and, and what all ever...just as long as it was less than 30g of carbs in any given day). If you are not eating this way and you have doubts, I highly recommend you at least try it for 6 weeks or so.

Im not sold 100% on keto or carnivore. I eat my meats and eggs, some broccoli and one seving of starch a day, either potato or rice. Im only 150 lbs so i dont need much and i workout with weights, hiit style , 45 mins every other day

So in general, we should not be on carnivore if you’re totally sedentary?

"Heroin isn't everywhere right in your face." -Seattle enters the chat.

I wondered about the tolerance changes also...I guess the key is stick to it

I'm basically carnivore but I use honey and banana and potatoes before and after a workout or after a long distance handpedal tricycle ride,I believe we do need some kind of carb but all ppl are different some ppl need more some less but all in all one you have no fat on your body you will need carbs or your body begins eating its muscle and you eventually end up skinny weak and frail

i feel fatigued all of the time while on carnivore diet. I am 74 and have lost 70 lbs but still weigh 230 lbs but so tired most of the day.

It’s a blank canvas to paint a masterpiece of health.

Anybody starting out on carnivore diet get muscle weakness/restless legs at night? Did I start lmnt to soon? Not liking this :/

Lost 20 lbs. since going on a ketogenic intake. Lift heavy 3 times a week and train Jiu-Jitsu. I was already lean and muscular before going low carb. First month was rough in terms of energy…esp. @ the gym…but…20 lbs. lighter and lifting more than pre low carb now! The biggest difference I see performance wise is when rolling during Jiu-Jitsu…I don’t tire anymore.

Dr. Chaffee, there is one thing plants do for us! Medicinal. Aloe for example is great for burns, scrapes, even rashes.

I understand not micromanaging your biochemistry, but since Dr Chaffee is promoting this message to the public (and he does a fantastic job) it might be a good idea to check things like ketones on himself, just so he has answers for people who wonder.

Meat has lots of protein and nutrients .What better diet to build muscular strength and fitness.!?

I’m fascinated to see if this carnivore diet has legs in 10 years or more , and if it starts helping people live longer or is it bad for longevity

I lost 75 pounds on a keto diet. I also lost muscle and was weaker when lifting weights. I think to get the most muscle gain when lifting weights you unfortunately need some carbs to replace your glycogen. I am experimenting with eating carbs every other day. I do feel stronger and can do more reps and i haven't gained weight. See how it goes.

I see increased sensitivity as a sign of health, it's a good sign. Make you more aware.

IM JUST STARTING THIS CARINVORE WAY OF EATING AND I HAVE UP AND DOWNS ..IM ON DAY 5 AND FEELING VERY TIRED

Coul someone explain : what happened to the idea that we were hunters and gatherers I just can’t see that we only ate meat

I am an omnivore all through out but I can understand why some one would want to go to either extreme of food chain. We all have our assumptions and a circle of knowledge. I think one should eat everything that is available in your local market and is grown within 100-150 kms from where you live. Those food are most adapted to the climate and environment you live in and can benefit you the most. You want to treat your body like a Swiss watch or a G-Shock, it's your prerogative. Both have their benefits and pitfall. And I have seen pure vegetarians over 90 and not bed ridden so one's fitness levels also impact longevity.

I cant get into ketosis , I'm insulin resistance

Ive lost most of the fat and a lot of muscle. I literally have no ass anymore and I am always cold. I am weak but starting to build myself up

I learn how to cook very young and I didn't like fry food so when I got married my wife loves fry food and everytime I eat fry I get stomach upset.........then I knew that my tolerance is very low for some foods.

i feel its making me weak/less desiring activity and losing strength, been doin this for a year.

Carbohydrate metabolism of healthy carnivores, such as the dolphin, cat, mink and bats differs from metabolism in healthy omnivores, such as humans, dogs, and rodents. Carnivore metabolism evolved to facilitate efficient consumption of a prey-based diet that is high in protein and low in carbohydrate content. Much of carnivore metabolism remains undiscovered but we do know some things. Some animals are what is called “obligate carnivores”. Like all of the cat family and others. They cannot digest carbohydrates very well. They lack salivary amylase, which is necessary for initiating digestion of some forms of carbohydrate in the mouth while chewing. They have differences in digestive enzymes. They have reduced activities of pancreatic amylase and intestinal disaccharidases when compared to other species. They also have lost the ability to make amino acids and vitamins in their own bodies the way herbivores or omnivores are able to do. Cats lack the ability to synthesize sufficient amounts of vitamin A and arachidonic acid. Their digestive systems are different than those that eat carbs. It is very short relative to the body length. They don't need as many bacteria to digest things. They also have alterations to taste bud sensitivities (including a heightened response to amino acids and a loss of response to many mono- and di-saccharides). They meet their energy needs from de novo production from non-sugar substrates (gluconeogenesis) of protein rather than using carbs to do this. Vegetarian or omnivore animals have breakdown of stored carbohydrate (glycogenolysis) to get glucose as well. In carnivore livers they have hexokinase I and II but do not have glucokinase. Gluconeogenesis in the non-carnivore liver is activated during fasting and starvation and is inhibited by nutrient and hormone signals from the gut after a meal. In obligate carnivores, hepatic gluconeogenesis is continually active. The metabolic adaptations that sustain glucose homeostasis in carnivores are maladaptive in humans, producing insulin resistance and glucose intolerance and leading to myriad undesirable metabolic consequences. If obligate carnivores don’t get enough meat and fat and get only carbs they will start breaking down their own bodies to get energy. They will also get an arginine deficiency. Without dietary arginine the urea cycle does not function and the accumulation of nitrogenous byproducts results in the rapid development of hyperammonemia, which may be fatal. Along with a high dietary protein requirement, they also have comparatively greater nitrogen loss and hepatic activities of catabolic enzymes than non-carnivores. Carnivores have just evolved to be different in many ways.

Speaking of sweeteners, what about stevia?

If you feed your plants meat, they will be strong and thus help the vegans become healthier and stronger 😊

Heal no!! Silly question when you are in the best diet grove is give it what it needs and let the cells tel you how happy they are. You become so attuned to yourcells talk.

Home grown food doesnt affect me, go ourside your IgG proteins will build up due to pollen and antihistamines

Feel fantastic but hyper sensitive to literally everything

Are nuts ok to eat on low carb 😊

If you happen to get heart palpitations with the version of solely eating red meat, salt, water, then give milk a try. Find a brand that sits well with you( does not have to be raw, relax), & it will be a game changer, and no, you wont get fat! 😂 Also some mag. + potassium can help, BUT, watch overdoing it on the potassium.

Does chaffee eat butter? cook his steak in butter?

Curious....what happened to your lip, Andy?

Elimination diet 😊 = eliminates all humanity and adaptations to plants 😊 Just kidding, but we shouldn't we aspire to be as resilient as possible ?! Maybe not 😊

If you can handle it, Raw dairy is great for Carnivores. The small amount of Lactose carbs leads to no issues whatsoever. Esp. if your ancestors are Pastorialists. When it comes to Raw Dairy, that Heroin trope is getting old Doc.

I wanted to remain on the carnivore diet. It has dealt with a lot of my inflammatory joint issues and gut issues. However i am feeling weak and faint. I am consuming a lot of electrolytes, water, fat and overall calories. I wish i knew what the problem is

Not all long term vegans but most don't look healthy to many.

Weak?! Is it f*ck, peeps 💪🏼

What happened to the white bald English carnivore doctor with glasses that would post videos of non-carnivores and belittle them point by point? Did KZfaq disappear him or something? Did he talk about the NWO or what? For the life of me I can't find him on KZfaq but just a few months ago he had many videos up. Anyone know what is his name?

I’m on a carnivore diet ,and my family often say to me that those food that I don’t eat anymore, are part of a evolutionary process of the human being. I know that not the all technology is good for as and depends on how we use it . Let’s say I use a cell phone for work or study but if i use to whacking silly videos on tik tok just because I’m bored , I’m not use my time properly. I wish u doctor Chaffee you couldn’t make a video of your thoughts about this evolution and the respect that the evolution give as towards the animals that now with the whole crap we make gods wise we can live with out kill animals to survive.I hope it’s clear may question!! 🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩thanks for everything

Specificity makes fragility whereas diversity builds anti fragility. Perfection isn’t optimal.

Those lions look weak

The come back response about should we have a little heroin when asked about if a little bit of parsley is ok are so stupid and make him look like a fool. If that Dr really puts heroin on the same level as a carrot then he is an idiot.

Blows my mind someone with this much education is so short sigted to recognize that obligate carnivores do get plant matter from eating their preys digestive tract. Its why i continue eating low starch high fiber vegetables and fermented food. I think we should try to mimic what nature has created for other diet specific animals and i think the fiber is critical for a healthy gut. If he likes carrying around 10lbs of waste in his bowls all the time that to me alone is unhealthy. I have a daily constitutional and i am glad i dont tote around a butt full of waste

What’s going on with the Drs bottom lip? Looks a bit chafing

Who cares? Your card's marked from your very first breath, up to your last. Just enjoy the ride. You'll be back, soon enough.....

It’s not complex. Eschew animal cruelty, grow up and be vegan.

I’ve been doing strict carnivore for 2 months now and all of the sudden I just feel the biggest crash ever after back and or leg days @ the gym. I come home and literally can’t stay awake. It’s horrible. Seen alot of benefits from this diet otherwise but I just don’t know how much longer I’m willing to keep plowing thru when I feel this shitty. I’m sure 20 people will hop on and tell me I need to give it 3-36 months smh

He looks weak here & his skin looks sallow...no thanks, I don't want to look tired, weak, old & haggard...keto is a way healthier diet to follow, especially for healthy and diverse gut microbiome...why did he get a hair transplant too? Very obvious on the recent 60 minutes Australia interview...was it dietary related?
