    Carnivore is neither connected to politics nor to religion. But it's connected to health. My depression is totaly gone. This makes me a happy person.
  • @BaddestCat
    Imagine not eating a proper human diet out of fear of being given a political label by some randoms.
  • @Muchness11
    I'm a lifelong leftist woman, & came to carnivore from veganism (I was vegan for ethical reasons, not health, and learned the hard way that our bodies don't care about our ideologies) back in 2006. Nutrition/health shouldn't be beholden to one side of the political spectrum & it's so bizarre that it has been turned into yet another divisive issue.
  • I am a retired teacher and I decided not to teach the food pyramid. It is a lie. Nobody noticed. God bless.

    I am a 69 year old great grandmother. Most of my female peers have been brainwashed by SAD federal guidelines and many have developed an aversion to meat! They insist on eating sick chickens (low fat of course) or a little FARM raised salmon. Yuck. I have more success talking to their husbands who miss their bacon and eggs and salivate when I mention burgers and steaks. It is an uphill battle, but every deep knee bend or squat I perform for these poor souls who are using walkers and canes with multiple joint replacements fails to impress them. Their doctors “know best”. Yup, surgery is best?! I am a 3 year ketovore with healing of multiple conditions. Fasting insulin in 5s, triglycerides/HDL ratio 0.55, I give this WOE a high five.
  • I am 84 years of age.I have had diabetes (and high blood pressure) for 25 years. Doctors said it cannot be cured and I would have to take metformin for the rest of my life. I understood diet might control it so I became a vegan for two years. It did not help. My glucose (blood) readings were always between 175 and 300. I found Dr. Anthony Chaffee, a neurosurgeon from Perth Austraila, an expert in carnivore lifestyle. On March 22, 2024 I adopted that lifestyle. I stopped eating all carbs;. My meal everyday has been 4-6 eggs scramble in a lot of butter, spring or mineral water, and 90% of the time a ribeye steak. I do eat lamb, salmon and hamburger 10% of the time. In seven weeks I no longer had diabetes or high blood pressure and lost 14 pounds.. My A1c (glucose average for preceding 3 months) was 8.4).. A non-diabetic would have an A1c of 5.4 or less. Mine was 5.6 after seven weeks and it is still going down. I will never eat another carb. My doctor kept insisting that I eat a balanced meal including fruits and vegetables. Doing that kept me a diabetic. Doctors do not study nutrition in medical school. It is about time they start if they really believe in the goal of getting people well instead of keeping them sick and addicted to drugs.
  • Right wings are good for everyone. The left wings taste good as well 😂😂.
  • My new endocrinologist said cholesterol is a lie and he expects a huge class action suit for the harm statins have caused .
  • Henry Kissinger, in the 60's said, if you can control food, you can control the people. He was spot on
  • 50 year old carnivore since January. Down 37 lbs- hormones balanced, sleep regulated, no more heart pains, no more numb hands, skin and hair are amazing. My digestion is cured- I have celiac! I’m aging in reverse. It’s a miracle❤️
  • So Great to see this! 68 YO woman carnivore and Ketovore for 8 years. In 2000 I owned a regenerative ranch, getting deeply involved in Weston A Price Foundation with Sally Fallon, then Paleo, then Keto and now carnivore. I raised my animals totally grassfed, organic and pastured. My emphasis was on regenerative agriculture and quickly saw how difficult raising vegetables was in a no-plow regenerative healing the earth method. I have always been considered very liberal and deeply committed to the environment, despite teaching against vegetarian diets. I learned that animals are best to heal the land and ourselves. I have supplied studies and research on the misinformation on the water and carbon issues with grassfed animals, when infact its the grain that is damaging the environment. I was fortunate to meet Gary Taubes and Nina at the Low Carb San Francisco in 2018. Great work!

    My cows are more libertarian to be honest, they just want the government to stay out of their business so they can live their lives and I can enjoy the benefits.
  • @ekdevaul
    Initially I was shocked when I saw the "Carnivore" = "Right Wing" propaganda piece. The people that write those pieces have no shame and clearly aren't interested in truth or facts. How can you spend any time in this space and not know of all of the women that have been leading and sharing their knowledge and experiences.
  • 37yo Black woman here, i started my low/no carb journey ironically from watching another woman here on YouTube (Keto Christina) i went Carnivore at the advice and guidance of my (female) therapist. Both women had similar health stories to mine, and had fantastic results from this dietary lifestyle. Whipe there are definitely certain elements of the community that are toxic, its a stretch to say it is on either side of the political spectrum, nor is it inherently masculine...i feel like the mainstream media got that idea by watching the ultimate bro Podcaster, Joe Rogan, when he did carnivore, and made all kinds of wild assumptions about it. They like to pick the most wild outliers like him and the "Liver King" as representatives of the movement. They'd be surprised to find that most keto/carnivore/animal based folks are actually just a bunch of chronically ill people trying to heal themselves through food. And even more shocked to find we are diverse politically, spiritually, and are also women more often than not
  • @marisa8843
    For those of you struggling with family, friends and even your doctor over your food choices, you don't have to tell everyone, all the time, what you're doing. My doctor was astounded at my weight loss and very low normal triglycerides which have never been low normal EVER. I simply said eating less and didn't elaborate on what I was eating less of (carbs). To people around me, I tell them I follow the diet plan I got from my doctor (which are the doctors I follow Westman, Chaffee and others).
  • A diet that makes me hyper masculine and hated by society: I’ll have a ribeye and a slice of pork belly please
  • @KaylaZ-pn2jv
    When eating meat is associated with a political "side"....what is this world I live in right now 😆
  • @cyndimanka
    I started watching two vegetarian’s a few years ago. Actually several years ago and they have both gotten cancer. She had to go through horrific treatment now he has kidney cancer and he’s going through treatment. And the doctors at Mayo clinic told him to eat vegetarian and his response was oh well that’ll be easy cause we already are eating vegetarian and I thought well there’s your lightbulb moment. How’s that working for you?
