Today Dr. Ken Berry and I will help you discover different ways you can improve what you eat from very moderate restrictions to full on carnivore and a lot of in between options and some “kickers” that can be used with any dietary regiment.

If you think this is going to be a “go keto or die” episode you’d be wrong.  About 5 years ago I took my health back and yes keto is how I did it.  That doesn’t make it your only choice.  The reality is while I do believe that eating mostly carnivore with a bit of veg is exactly what Dr. Ken Berry calls it, “the proper human diet” it is not the only diet I feel people can thrive on.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

• How I am using the term diet in this episode
  • Diet – habitual nourishment consumed as a regular matter of living for any living organism
• Let’s be honest genetics do play a role in how people respond to different foods
• Body weight is not the only measurement of health (good and bad) but it is an important one
• Growth in Chronic Disease & Indicators since 1970
  • 11.6% of Americans have been diagnosed as type 2 diabetics (90 million plus estimated have pre diabetes)
  • Almost 1 million Americans have end stage renal disease
  • The U.S. dialysis centers market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.29% in dollar value from 2023 to 2030 and will be a 40 billion dollar market by 2030.
  • The obesity rate in 1970 was about 15% today it is 42%
  • Global seed oils have grown in production by about 200 million metric tons since 1970
• All the diets that really improve health do have some commonalities
  • Involve whole foods
  • Reduce or totally remove seed oils
  • Have some form of portion controls (including eat all you want carnivore)
  • Reduce or eliminate artificial flavors, addictive additives, concentrated flavorings, etc.
• Diet One – No seed oils, no high fructose corn syrup, no dyes, no artificial additives limited to three meals and one snack
• Diet Two – Same as diet one, reduce total carbs to less than 100 carbs a day (this is still a lot of volume) and strive to eat food that is organic, grass fed, grown locally, etc.
• Diet Three – Same as diet two except reduce total carbs to 50-75 grams total a day
• Diet Four – True keto 20-25 total carbs, everything else is the same, net carbs with whole food only are okay, get 60-80% of calories from high quality fats
• Diet Five – Ketovore, almost carnivore, herbs are okay, small amounts of greens and berries from time to time, etc. but the primary diet is all animal foods, most meals are carnivore
• Diet Six – Full carnivore, all food comes from something that had a face and nothing else, “beef, bacon, butter and eggs”
• Kickers you can Add to Any DIet
  • No snacking
  • TMAD or OMAD
  • An eating window of 8 hours or less (intermittent fasting 16h or more a day)
  • Eliminate or reduce to once a week alcohol
  • Fasting 1- 4 days (I’ve never done more than 24 hours, you don’t have to do everytihng)
  • Exercise – everyone should do this, mental as much as physical gains occur
  • Meditation – doesn’t have to mean contemplation of your naval
• Thoughts on being “flexible”
  • Falling back to the lower level a time or two is no big deal in my view
  • Watch your weight, how your clothes fit and how you feel (inflammation)
  • Have your labs done and confer with a doctor who isn’t an establishment idiot
  • If you start eating cake and gunk every time you are at a “special thing” you’re an alcoholic hanging out in a bar, limit what is “special”
• Final thoughts – Do something, our national health is in decline, medical care is mostly unaffordable and quality is going to hell in a hand basket.  Don’t just survive, have the courage to thrive
