I’ve handled dairy fine all my life. Recently switched to raw milk from pasteurized/homogenized whole milk and the difference is clear. Laughable that raw milk is illegal in some states but cigarettes and alcohol aren’t. You know, for health.

I grew up drinking raw milk as you call it. We just called it "Cows Milk" on the farm. We lived in Rural Mississippi, and one of my daily chores was milking the cow twice a day, and we sifted it through cheesecloth doubled up again and again to catch any foreign matter as we poured it up in gallon jars. About 1/3 or more was fat. You had to shake it to mix it. We drank it every day, and I loved it. We sold it to neighbors and family. i've always thought it was stupid to outlaw that. This Nation has in many types of foods, moved us away from self sufficiency, and towards being reliant on large corporate farms. The rich then hold you hostage just as a drug dealer does his customers.

When I turned 63 last year I went full on keto/carnivore and it has been life changing to say the least. Up to that point I could not tolerate too much dairy other than butter and hard cheese. Now with a healthier gut I can eat any type of dairy and have raw milk kefir smoothies every day. I can't believe how tasty raw milk products are!

Dairy was the main food source in my grandparents village and all the people there lived a long healthy life , no heart problems whatsoever.

I love the flavor of ground beef and cheese and i have eaten dairy my whole life so I do not have probs with it. Here is a plug for diary. I split my knee open and it got infected. Wound was to the bone and had surgery was almost a week after the injury. I had to have it surgically debrided to keep the infection from going into the joint. Sent home on oral antibiotics and a three inch wound with one stitch to keep it closed to let it heal inside out as they say. This was before I was carnivore but was dirty keto. I bought protein added lactose free whole milk. I was 52 years old. My surgeon was stunned at how well I healed. I have a scar but not terrible considering that there was only one stitch to hold the skin together. The milk came in 52 oz bottles and I drank half a bottle a day for the 5 weeks I was off work to heal. I contribute my excellent healing to this dairy product.

I was drinking dairy. Living with my great aunt she only wanted to drink 1 % milk, which I drank it as well. I grew up with whole milk. I also had sinus issues and they were bad at times. Sometimes the sinus headaches were really bad in my face and eyes. I stopped drinking milk, and stopped eating ice cream and my sinus problems went away. I calculated yesterday that I am about 2 1/2 years into carnivore. I know I started low carb in 2019 and then plateaued and went and found Dr Berry and started eating meat and liver and my body bounced back. I gained some muscle eating meat. Just like Kelly Hogan said she has a sticker on her van that says eat meat and save humans. I need to get one of those and put it on my car. I can go into the store and shop and out the door in no time flat with carnivore. Where when I was on sad diet it would take forever to shop. I am so glad I have gotten all the bad stuff out of my body. 150 days NO coffee or caffeine. I was so addicted to coffee that now I have more energy than when I was drinking it. The only dairy that I consume is butter.

My father worked at a dairy, so I drank 4l.... a gallon of milk a day between ages 8 and 14. So much so my doctor told my parents to stop giving me milk (I was the fatty at school). I still love my cheese but have eliminated it for the last 4 months. I have gone from 80kg ( I guess175lbs) to 65kg(144lbs) since 1st May 2023, without a diet, just changing my food and bar for cheese eliminating dairy, but cheese is a treat, not everyday now. As a 53yr old next week, 52 for now, I am actually proud. Had a 25yr old guy into body building who carbo loads compliment me and ask me how I did it and as soon as I said I am carnivoure he ran.Between Dr Baker and Dr Chaffee, they have changed my life for the better! Thank you so much!

I grew up on RAW Dairy. Best thing ever. Whole cream, Home made Butter, Hoe made.Ice Cream. All from our own Herd. Grew our own Beef, Chickens, Hogs, Ducks, Goats, 1.5 acre Garden and we hardly got sick. Left the farm, started eating the fiid pyramid, followed Doctors and FDA BS and lost alot of heath.

Growing up, I drank way more milk than anyone in my family. I grew to 6' 8". I have never broken a bone despite falling down a flight of concrete steps,when I was 52, and smashing my pinky finger onto a hoop playing basketball. I chipped a bone in my ankle playing volleyball, but that's it. I think milk is very satiating but I do gain weight when I drink a lot if it now. I love milk. Always have.

I can't give up cheese. I don't drink milk, but cheese is dairy crack! I'm addicted.

I quit dairy about 10 years ago because of sinus issues. They cleared up nicely, so I assume I have an allergy to casein protein. About a year ago, I was looking for ways to incorporate more nutrient-dense foods and I tried some raw milk. Despite that it was delicious, I found out what lactose intolerance was all about! A few months and some more research later, I figured out I can eat fully fermented, aged cheeses (i.e., cheddar aged 24 months). Been doing that regularly and still no symptoms consistent with casein allergy. Best regards, Dr Baker

57yrs young carnivore for @26 months now. Never been a stranger to the gym, but I was unable to achieve nice shredded abs, forever. At 6' 1" I went from >235 to

Great info! Can’t stand VEGAN NONSENSE!!! I get grass fed organic RAW dairy from Amish farmers who NEVER mistreat their animals...

Your videos have been the most influential in my life on KZfaq. I've been a Carnivore for just over 90 days and I feel great! I am going to start to introduce dairy in the coming weeks. I WANT THAT T-Shirt!!!

I couldn’t take dairy for about six years and i have been able to take it again after four months of carnivore. I think it’s like a signal of health. People on a standard diet are pounding their intestines with junk and carbs all the time which inflames the bowels. When we switch to carnivore or at least animal based it starts getting better at digesting fats and dairy. That’s my opinion

I grew up in Allentown Pa. In the 70's when I was 12, I was 5'2 and ended up drinking half a gallon at an Aunts house. Then found lots of milk filled cravings. Grew to 6'5 in a year and a half. Helped a lot for my body. Still love it.

I'm from the Netherlands and raised with dairy products. Still consuming dairy except milk because of my T1DM. Cheese,yoghurt,full cream butter got to have it 😋

You can pry my mozzarella out of my cold dead hands.

I work 70-80hrs per week outside in the elements. I've found Coffee with heavy cream before and after work keeps me level. Meal prepping for my week I scramble 12 duck eggs 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 2lb cooked bacon then sprinkle Colby Jack to bind it together. I cut into 6ths. 1 piece in the afternoon keeps me satiated I'm 49yrs old 6'3". I started the Carnivore diet cold turkey March 15 this year. No negative effects transitioning. I've lost close to 40lbs in just under 4 months 270ish to 229lbs. I feel and preform better than I did for last 8 to 10 yrs.. Ribeye and Chuckeye are my large meal . If you haven't tried Chuckeye you're missing out.

Thank you so much for this video! You are the absolute best! I’ve been asking raw milk questions for a couple days so this is great. Love my raw milk!

Swede here. Im extreme though. Several liters per day, sometimes even a US gallon. And yoghurt and cheese too ontop of the milk. I handle it fine.

I’m 5’6” 110 lbs. Carnivore (sugar free) for 57 days now. Started incorporating dairy around day 30 because of the fat to attempt some additional pounds…well, it added very few, like 3! I started with Whole Milk Keifer- made a world of difference with my digestive system and regularity. I then incorporated hard cheeses that are high fat Brie Gouda Aged Cheddar some Italian cheeses. In addition to Cabot’s 10% fat whole milk Greek yogurt. Everything plain no sugar other than the lactose. I notice sometimes without keifer but eating others I can have a little skin breakout. Keifer is key, your gut needs the help! Also adding fructoogliosacharrides is great food for your gut bugs if you’re having issues there. Do your research, support your body so you can stay the course- this way of life is worth it.

Straight to the point. Answered some questions I had. Thank you 👍

Your a very modest man Dr Baker you have changed the world.

I've been eating meat and dairy my entire life. I seem to do just fine with it. Last May, I went full carnivore diet for a month. Dropped 18 pounds of unwanted fat. I still eat meat & cheese daily, but drink zero sugar sports drinks, and unsweetened almond milk. I miss real milk. I think I'll start drinking it occasionally again, because I've lost over 50 lbs and I'm getting too skinny. I eat tons of protein and still, something is missing. I feel more skinny than anything, and I have been trying to add some muscle/definition to my body. Yes, I do workout. Thanks for everything you do, Doc! Watching an interview of yours over a year ago changed my health for good!

Hi Dr Shawn, I can’t have Cow Full cream milk too often. Occasionally I might have one cup with coffee if I’m out. Mostly I have about a tablespoon of heavy whipping cream or butter or guee or coconut cream in my coffee. I also have vintage tasty block of cheese not everyday. I also occasionally have ricotta cheese. I do agree Dr Shawn that dairy in general stalls weight loss for me. I am thinking of eliminating the cream and cheese and milk for a while Just use guee or butter in my coffee or coconut cream 😅 Thank you for all your videos. I find you relaxing to listen to. Your information is always just enough and you are not exhausting to listen to.

Hey Shaun! Per usual, great video! I’ve been keto/carnivore for about 10 years. Much heavier and more strict on the carnivore end of it for the last three. I’ve always enjoyed milk, but I found that it did rock my guts out at times. Strange though, because I tend to tolerate Cabot whole milk plain Greek yogurt, Most cheese products, sour cream, cream cheese and whey protein isolate very well. Perhaps it’s time to give the whole milk another shot

I come from Estonia, with a strong dairy consumption culture. Generally speaking I've never had issues with dairy when consuming it in moderation, although I've noticed a correlation with higher consumption ( 1 liter per day) and emergence of pimples. I also suffer from chronic canker sores and those show up more often when I've increased my milk consumption. Recently I have started making my own kefir and drink it every day - that hasn't shown any adverse affects as far as I can tell. Paradoxically I find pasteurized milk makes for better kefir than raw ( raw milk is legal and easy to find in stores here.)

i grew up in the balkans where we consume a lot of dairy products. it’s a pretty big part of our nutrition in general, and i haven’t met many lactose intolerant people. i drink only whole milk, consume a lot of yogurts and cheese and personally never had any dairy-related issues. i also remember consuming raw milk when i was little, never got any kind of poisoning etc. works well for me, not planning to stop consuming it.

Thank you Sean. I did not have this data about dairy. I watch you a lot. Carnivore diet is changing my body and my fiancée’s body.

Thanks for the clarification on dairy products. Very helpful in informing my perspective. 👍🙏❤️😊

Raw > pasteurized - join a herd share. 😊

To be honest!! I love dairy. But like u say if I wanna get very shredded I don’t used . Thanks for the advice. I’m starting my channel on carnivore over in Italy and it is very hard to make people understand how important it is to live sugar free .

Just recently read the book very good and easy to read and understand well done Dr Baker 👍

Second video today that has made mention of declining milk consumption and increased cheese consumption. My take on this, is back in the mid-late 70's when I was a school (in New Zealand) most people I knew would choose a milkshake at a convenience store as opposed to a soda. Can't remember the last time I saw a kid drinking a milkshake - it's all soda or energy drinks. I think the rise in cheese consumption is proportionate to the rise in fast food where cheese is ever present. Think cheese in burgers, pizza, Mexican food and other takeaway/convenience items. Cheese will often be demonized for making people fat. What's not taken into consideration is that it's nearly always consumed with high levels of carbohydrate.

I usually have 2 cups of coffee in the morning with half and half creamer. It doesn't seem to bother me. I also like to fry my steaks in butter. Same with that...no inflammation or other problems.

2:00 Depends on the person 4:00 Dairy isn't satiating or good for weight loss 7:30 whole milk is better for muscle growth, but consider weight gain 8:30 most studies indicate that dairy isn't inflammatory, some people are sensitive 9:00 dairy is easy to over-consume 10:00 dairy fat bombs are often unnecessary fat you won't use

Hi Dr. Baker. I am currently 67yo ketovore and doing dairy elimination, consuming ghee and butter only, attempting to see if my BPH is improved. Results so far are encouraging, but I ef'n love and miss cheese, heavy cream in my coffee and my homemade yogurt from grass-fed half and half. I have also correlated occasional eczema with the heavy cream. By the way, it would be interesting to do a survey that could show sensitivity vs geography. I grew up in and currently live in Georgia USA.

I find that I feel great adding in a fair amount of Dairy to my animal based Diet, iv got Crohn’s disease and consume home made kefir daily and I feel like it helps my gut. I don’t struggle with weight gain on the carnivore diet and am very active so I find that dairy is a great way to get in some extra calories to support my energy needs. Thanks for all the great info Doc as you are helping thousands of people out there with weight issues and chronic diseases

I don't eat/drink dairy very often but occasionally I'll crave milk. I'll probably drink a gallon of milk over a two or three week period then I won't have the cravings anymore and not drink milk for months.

I wish I never tried heavy cream in my coffee! It’s super addictive, I can’t stop 😢

great chat, Keep on the right path, and don't get sidetracked for anything... Health is Happy Life

Sour cream, cheese, mainly cottage cheese and kefir. I consume them daily, cant imagine my life without them.

Used to be severely dairy intolerant ( casein and lactose ) turns out I was pasteurised diary intolerant and I hear a lot of people say the same!! Raw milk taste amazing and digests perfectly !! ( no bloating ect ) And for anyone who has anxiety and trouble sleeping for me helps with better sleep !!

I am back with raw dairy (Raw cream, raw milk, raw butter) this month, and have been enjoying it in moderation. LoL I gain when i over consume it so I am extra careful. 😅 No allergic reactions on my end for now. 😉 I’ve also been fermenting milk, and it’s been great.

Another great video DOC and yes I do consume dairy grass FED MILK. Always liked it as a kid and now I'm 62 and still drink it and I do your carnivore diet. Though I sneak in some carbs here and there. And I may get gas sometimes but it's not a big deal, that's if I consume too much of it. Other than that the meat-eating is working like a charm. Though I have one question I was just reading something the other day if you eat too much meat will it make you constipated.

Thx Doc for your work 👍🇺🇸👍

Thank you for answering my question about raw milk. Your knowledge & information is much needed & appreciated! 💖🫡

Thank You for reflecting the facts. I don’t have an issue with dairy. I thrive on a carnivore diet including a fair amount of raw cheese, heavy cream. I stay within an appropriate calorie amount. I eat OMAD, dairy definitely helps Me reach the calorie intake I require daily.

I’ve been lactose-intolerant for 25 years, but I can handle small amounts, choose lower-lactose/lactose-free options, or even just add lactase drops myself. However, in the last few years I’ve noticed it’s also causing occasional bleeding in both my nose and gut. I’m presuming I’ve developed an allergy. I find dairy very enjoyable but also very addictive. And as much as I know I need to cut it out, I do struggle. But I think I am making progress towards achieving that as each day passes.

Thank you for talking about dairy. I have recently added dairy back into my diet, just because I love it. I have hashimoto disease controlled by synthroid. My weight is fine. I could give up dairy again if there was clear evidence that it would help to give it up. It didn’t seem to matter that I gave it up for several years. If anyone out there has any new research that would help, please send it my way.

First of all... you make that shirt look pretty darn good! Do you sell it? I shouldn't eat dairy. I recognize the slowing of weight loss when I eat too much cheese. I switched from keto to almost full carnivore about a month ago. Coffee is on my list of "need to go" which will then eliminate the cream too. I really prefer steak and on the days I don't eat dairy or drink dairy, I do feel the best. I'm not sure why coffee is such a crutch. It seems to be a comfort habit more than anything. Thanks for all of the info! You are super inspiring!

I have drank 3 To 8 pints a milk everyday for over 20 years and always took the fullest fat options . I never buy anything reduced fat . I have always struggled to gain weight and thought high fat lard and butter would help me gain weight . Now 45 with the exact same body shape I have had since I was 20 I realise that’s what maybe helped keep me slim . I have also always had a natural aversion to vegetables 🤮 always ate all my meat though🤔

I never tried it raw, however I have a problem with any kind of dairy. The only exception seems to be butter: I do perfectly well with grass-fed Irish butter, which is also delicious and impossible to eat too much since your body would tell you to stop after a certain amount (fats stimulate leptin)

Hi Shawn, Thanks for posting this. Yes I consume mostly raw dairy - mostly raw butter, raw heavy A2 cream and A2 cheese and Yes I probably over consume them. Thanks for gently calling that out. I am considering taking a break from the liquid dairy and just stick with butter for a month.

that shirt is so awesome.

I used to be lactose intolerant from 25 yo and on. I could handle hard cheese and some soft serve ice cream. Milk, cottage cheese on rare occasions. Keto changed that. If I ever had issues with constipation, I ate cottage cheese. Keto caused severe constipation and no longer lactose intolerant. Lost a lot of weight but the side effect lead me to carnivore. Refused to live on Miralax rest of my life Constipation seems to be gone now. Took 6 months. I can do some hard cheese but it's addicting so I limit it to an occasion. I'm a foodaholic (came up with that in college in 1977 when I made some clay self portraits). One bite of the wrong foods and I'm in a binge.

I was raised on cows milk etc. & after 60 years of loving it I became intolerant. Now I am 100 % allergic to all cow milk, butter, cheese and even ghee. Vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, etc. Luckily hard goat cheese, milk, butter and goat kefir I can tolerate. I eat it in moderation and now love certain specific types and brands. Wishing you all well 👍

Thanks for clearing the air, Shawn 🤙

I was raised on dairy and had acne, asthma and constant mucus as a kid. Quitting dairy eliminated all that. I love cheese and occasionally have it when out to dinner, my nose blocks within hours. Raw milk, however, doesn't produce the same symptoms, but I find it far too addictive so I have to avoid that too.

From an bio/ evolutionary standpoint, in the same way as peoples genetics changed in the northern hemisphere by skin colour becoming lighter to enable them to absorb vitamin d3 sufficiently ( the sun being weaker in northern countries) ..perhaps a genetic change mainly occurred in northern countries to allow humans to drink and eat dairy into adulthood,, not just for bone strength, but also vitamin d . I think in many Middle Eastern counties and India, where milk is not easily tolerated, they eat a lot of natural bio yoghurts.

2 gallons of milk a week , cheese,sour cream and butter 👍

Just got raw dairy instead of store bought, I’ve been doing 4-8 ounces of milk, 4 ounces of yogurt, honey fruit and beef. Since changing my dairy I think I’m leaning out, I feel much more energy.

As a carnivore eater I love my A2 full cream milk in my morning latte. This makes up most of my carb consumption for the day and still below 20g of total carbs. No negative physical side effects 😀

The list that Dr. Baker displays, about the countries with the most dairy consumption (1:38 - 1:55) , also closely resembles the countries which have the most tall people, especially when looking at the first three or four countries on the list.

I am on my 3rd day of carnivore- no dairy or gluten- only meat eggs, salt, water, bone broth, and magnesium supplements. In the past few days I have had zero inflammation, no knee pain, and slept like a baby. I believe my body adapted quickly bc I have not consumed sugar in over 4 years!

Great video doc....stay the course my carnivore friend

I love all dairy, cheese, butter, milk and cream. I've been drinking raw milk and raw single cream for the past few years with no issues. I've been to the farm where the milk comes from and the cows seem very contented. I have some Irish genetics so assume this is why i can consume large quantities with only positive effects. 👍

Lactose intolerant and slightly milk allergic here,for me getting off of dairy at the age of 40 gave me a whole new lease on life, about 5-6 months after quitting it most of my arthritis pain went away and left me feeling better now at 60 than I did at 40, like night and day.🙂

I subbed to your channel because the algo fed me a video of you discussing something pandemic or jab related (I don’t remember), I wasn’t even interested in dieting. Coincidentally I lost my sense of taste for a week two months ago. The day I lost my taste I was eating a typical garbage meal and realized that without taste I was trading my longevity for nothing. And so it was then that I realized I had a lucky opportunity to take advantage and switch to healthy eating and started on Keto/carnivore immediately as taste was no longer a factor. It was only after that I started watching your other content. And only now through this video did I learn you coined the name of the diet!!!

I'm in L.A., and we have Erewhon and Sprouts markets nearby. I cannot tolerate most forms of dairy--regular milk, etc. But I like the butter and the ghee, and I use a cup of raw whole milk kefir, from Grass Fed cows, from Raw Farm,. It helps me sleep. Feels good in the stomach. My body says no to cheese. Maybe sheeps-milk yogurt with nothing added is okay once in a while. I like the idea of getting more calcium--other than broccoli. I drank a whole quart of raw creme once. It was delicious, but of course, I paid for it.

I use butter daily, don’t drink milk and cheese very occasionally. Great video again!

I can’t drink black coffee, so a little creamer is in for me. Cheese is a constant in my fridge mostly for a kid friendly grab snack. Of course butter, i love butter. Milk is a no go. It’s got a lot of sugar!

I grew up on a dairy farm so I grew up on RAW milk, straight from the holding tank. I include dairy in my diet in the form of a variety of cheese, raw cream, and butter but I don't drink milk anymore. Love cheeses though and the flavor it adds to meats for more variety. I seem to handle it just fine.

I get raw milk from the Amish. I have a high metabolism so I can put it down and not notice any fat gain. Also I've never really noticed any other negative issues from ingesting it. I mainly stopped getting it and raw butter to see how I do on just beef and eggs for 30-90 days. I would absolutely add a ridiculous amount of it back in once I'm back in the gym 100% and trying to build size back.

I have a little full cream milk with 2-3 cups of coffee per day. I eats goats yoghurt once a week or so. Feta - and cheddar cheese 2-3 times a week. No issues.

If I could consume dairy, along with eating Carnivore, my life would be complete. Unfortunately, I am NOT one who can consume dairy, nor can any of my three children. Eliminating dairy was the last food we found to turn off a gene for Reactive Arthritis (HLA B27) that son#2 has. His transformation was amazing, from eliminating ALL his pain in 45 days, to allowing the weight to just fall off. He lost 130lbs over two years. Before eliminating dairy, he was road biking 20, 30, 40 miles...and the weight wouldn't budge. We even tried a personal trainer for a year who worked with joint issues. I eliminated dairy two weeks after he did, lost a dress size in 30 days, then 2 more dress sizes over the next few months...doing NOTHING different, except eliminating dairy. We had been eating a Paleo diet, after we found that same son is Celiac. For me, ANY kind of dairy will put weight on my faster than I can blink. We've tried raw goat and raw cow dairy. Just the beginning of this year I had tried consuming goat cheese again. Well, that lasted until I realized I had gained 8lbs. Ditched the goat cheese...within 30 days the weight just dropped off. NO thank you! I'll just stick to my Carnivore without the dairy. I'm 68, went Carnivore at 65...and have never looked back!

Dairy is a wonderful source of calories! I've always been extremely lean my whole life, struggling to put on weight, extremely low blood pressure, frequently cold and lethargic. High fat red meat centric carnivore helped me a little bit closing in on a comfortably healthy body weight. If it wasn't for dairy I would probably still be looking sickly slim. But now I consume copious amounts of butter, make my own heavy cream kefir and drink milk before bed, and I've never looked so healthy! There's no sign of inflammation anywhere, I feel much more energetic and warmer, and just look more "full". I'm part Scandinavian heritage, so this probably has a lot to do with it! I definitely feel like I tolerate dairy better still than I did on an omnivorous diet. I recall having terrible gut issues with milk and bread, oats and coffee. On a very low carb high fat animal based diet all those conflicts went away. I'm more than happy consuming dairy, A1 or A2, raw or not. But I do worry some, because I hear dairy is associated with *hair loss* (yikes!), and I have yet to hear anyone refute or at least explain this mechanistically. Supposedly it is connected to inflammation, but I can't say that is something I experience personally. But I'm not willing to sacrifice my hair if that is something that can be exacerbated over time or in the long run! Thanks, doc! You're a life saver!♥️

I’ve recently just started drinking raw milk. I had gone off cows milk for several years, couldn’t stand taste, and had switched to almond, coconut milk etc. Raw milk is so much cleaner and lighter.

For me, a 'serving' of cheese is an entire pack, typically 350g. A few days ago I bought a 500g pack of Cheddar of which I soon downed 400g in one sitting; early the next morning I polished the rest off. Yes, seriously. I'm carbohydrate intolerant so I don't do yoghurt or kefir. Fortunately here in the UK, cheeses made from unpasteurised milk are available and I always go for these when in stock. Failing that, I always aim for organic. I'd certainly agree that cheese is addictive, though it's possible that it's the salt in it that I'm actually craving (when I first went low carb, two successive blood tests showed me to be low in sodium).

Finland is not part of Scandinavia. It's only Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Countries like Finland and Iceland help make up the Nordics.

I started the carnivore diet without knowing it, I eliminated the oxalates and so, I was very thin, when I realized it then I began to consume dairy products almost daily and, in fact, I have gained weight very quickly, not in excess, simply the necessary fat, but now cheese is a problem, I feel like it's like a drug, now the only dairy I allow myself is butter and ghee, goat cheese if I can find it but only as an addition to scrambled eggs

Daisy usually causes gastric issues for me and I’ve noticed that my weight usually stalls when I eat it. Last week I lost three pounds eating meat only. The weekend came and I had two iced coffees with heavy cream. I gained a small bit.

Been carnivore for 2+ yrs and have lost more weight than I want to lose. I've tried adding carbs in the form of fruit & raw honey as suggested by another carnivore Dr. and it's not working for me. I never cut out dairy completely, but will be bumping it up to see if it helps.

Fairlife Whole Milk, Kefir, and Greek Yogurt ,and Cottage cheese for me. No issues .🏋🙏👹

According to the comparison you make of life expectancy between Sweden at 83 and Russia at 73 , you could surmise that diary is definitely better then vodka.

I’m off cows milk for now(egg whites too). Talked with my nutritionist, and she reported I’ve got an overgrowth of H pylori, which sadly, gives me a form of leaky gut and I don’t absorb protein well. I thought it was nuts because I do eat a lot of meat, but it wasn’t even getting absorbed into my body properly? What a waste. It’s been a week, and I feel better. I no longer consider stabbing pain in my stomach and getting the squirts as normal. In fact, my poops have been beautiful. I recover quicker after exercise than I used to(24-36 hours of recovery now vs. 3 days to recover). The only issue I have now is that I’m gaining weight quite quickly. I’ll have to calorie count, but I think I’m essentially eating the same amount with my restrictions. Bodies are so different! So much to learn!

I am back into the full swing now lifting weights, and rely a bit on dairy to help me reach my daily caloric intake and some extra protein. One thing i can't get over with the carnivore diet is the whole no carbs thing. I've been interested in it, just that it's a serious endeavor. For one i don't want to do it improperly due to my lack of knowledge, but also it's hard for me to go against everything ive learned over the 10+ years ive been lifting. You know, how you need X amount of complex carbs with each meal and meet daily quota. For now, i stick with carbs like organic steel cut oats and organic quinoa and hope for the best..

Yup! My issue with dairy, as with nuts, is that I am more likely to over-consume it compared to meat, seafood and eggs. I think it's the galactose-maybe even the carbs and fat together. It's certainly tasty. PS: I think there's little doubt whole dairy is better than skim.

I just made 7 pints of Ghee. It is wonderful and shelf stable. Eat all dairy and love it but, need my meat.

Hello what would be the best oil to fry eggs in or meat ...ghee or butter ? Or ?

"Milk is for infant/ adolescent growth"...agreed. I also previously understood that by the time we're 20 ( growth phases complete ) our bodies stop producing the enzyme required to break down the lactose- hence lactose intolerance. Some react more obvious, some no symptoms, but everyone is technically "intolerant".

I started carnivore 3 months ago not being able to tolerate any dairy including ghee. It made me extremely bloated and gassy and just feeling gross. I just recently tried to add ghee and it was very strange I became horribly depressed for 3 days. after i stopped the ghee the depression went away. a few days ago I added raw cows milk, raw butter, and raw cow kefir and wow not only did I feel amazing I had no bloating or gas. Its very strange how ghee made me feel terrible but the raw dairy works. I am so excited to have butter in my life now tallow was getting a little old!

Per usual he is spot on. I cut out dairy over a year ago and have been able to dial in my physique in such a great way. Note I still use ghee and a touch of organic half and half for coffee. Overall happier and healthier, but wary of the seed oil and grain milk movement.

I was exposed to a lot of anti dairy propaganda several years ago. Not long afterwards, I developed a dairy sensitivity and whenever I had it it made my skin break out, gave me brain fog and made me feel very lethargic. But after I switched my mindset towards dairy and no longer viewed it as a threat, I could tolerate it just fine and I can have as much as I want and feel great now! Same thing for other foods too! I still eat mostly meat but I can have other foods with no issues now as long as I don't view the foods as threats! I'm inclined to think that most or at least many food sensitivities/allergies have psychological roots. At least that's been my experience! I overcame all my allergies and sensitivities using this same change in mindset so I figured I should let people know and maybe you'll have the same experience as I've had. It's sooooo much better having the option to eat other foods from time to time without running into issues! Anyways, I hope this helps someone out there!

I am glad pasteurization and raw milk was talked about! Most just think dairy is dairy and therefore, dairy issues are dairy issues. Check my points to clarify some things on milk: 1 - Pasteurization and homogenization kill all probiotics and healthy bacteria including immunoglobulins. Raw milk has probiotics like yogurt among much that is missing from yogurt (especially sugary yogurt) 2 - Due to bad factory farm practices, mainstream milk cannot be raw and many laws have been put in place in most states to outlaw healthy grass-fed raw milk as well (all raw milk) 3 - So glad you mentioned A1 vs A2. 99.5% of all milk has A1 protein (the steak sauce is named after this) which is mutagenic and causes lactose intolerance over time, faster in some people - A2 milk can be found nowadays in Jewel-Osco and certain markets as well as most 3rd world countries and India have tons of A2 milk from all sorts of animals 4 - Eating dairy with citris/sour fruits and with salty foods causes digestive issues. Milk is digested with a weaker stomach acid and consuming milk with a meal can cause milk to curdle due to the higher acidic content of stomach acid, while consuming it with sours will also cause curdling within the stomach. That passes through your whole system and can bloat you, hence inflammation. 5 - Ghee exists! Thanks for touching on ghee and butter! Everyone should try that in their coffee rather than milk or cream. Great for keto, fasting, and real energy from the coffee. Milk binds to some of the chemicals in the coffee taking away much of its metabolic effects (need citation for this)

When I was a kid, we had amazing raw milk delivered to our home all the time. I guzzled it. I drank more than anyone in my family and grew to be 6'8" tall. I think there is a correlation. I am on the carnivore diet now and drink about 3 glasses of milk a day - I'm going to start drinking only 1 glass a day and see what happens.

I am of the thought that lactose intolerance is a vaccine sideffect. No one on either side of my family has it, and my symptoms got exponentially worse after i had some vax "update" in college about 10 years ago.

@Shawn Baker MD I do 2MAD and take about 1 liter whole milk a day mostly 1/2 liter after each meal. It kills any after cravings or sweet tooth 😅

Meat, dairy and eggs are the foundation of my "food pyramid." With a little bit of grains, fruit and veggies on top for the fiber and macronutrients.
