Your health is a result of the state of your mind and the food you eat (don't eat carbs, sugars, artificial foods, or anything processed). That's what you need to fix, otherwise it will never improve.

Completely agree.

I am back down to my military weight in my 20's now just from eating right.

I was also shocked at how fast heart palpations and hbp went away when you stop putting in all that crap.

I found that maltodextrin and msg (yeast extract and many other names) in processed food cause heart palpitations/ irregular heartbeat and no longer eat anything in a can or box or plastic bottle (unless it is straight veggies and salt or meat and salt). Stay away from fake butter, refined oil (soybean oil is in everything and gives me headaches).

Note: Oil is a killer. They put it in almost everything. Seen it in some energy drinks, Salad Dressings are full of it, Almost all canned soup is full of MSG, Maltodextrin, or Oil (Campbells cream of mushroom and chicken are mostly soybean oil, not cream).

Generally processed food is poison. Do not use artificial butter or blends, get real butter, throw away the salad dressings and make your own from scratch and READ those ingredient labels!

Back on topic, see this:

Good for you man!!
Well done, happy to hear that!!!

What you wrote, I confirm 100%. They are constantly poisining us with food. A Supermarket is a deadly trap.

I've even seen mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolarity completely disappearing by changing the diet.
There is a doctor in youtube which I really agree with, Paul Saladino MD (carnivore MD), amazing content.

Also, the state of the spirit impacts a lot on our health. It is always important to make peace with our emotional injuries and not carry them along. Call those people you owe yourself a chat and come to terms, not become friends, but just make sure that there is no ill will, that's best to let go. It helps enourmoulsy too.

Do some research on. isometric hand compressions.

Also mentioned on on the website of the device you mention.

I'm not eating chicken liver salad for thirty years in hopes of living long enough to eat chicken liver salad for another ten years.

First of all, you are free to do what you want and that's the great thing of life, our free will. Second, I'll write this, although I doubt you'll accept it. What you actually doing is punishing your own body in response to the emotional injuries you carry. You are trying to get rid of your life long frustrations and depressions by consuming toxic foods, but that will never happen, on the contrary, you are digging the hole even deeper. I know it, because I've been there before.

It took me years until finalizing realizing that is not about living more, but about living better. Actually, about living. We live in societies where human life is very anti-natural, therefore our minds are prone to destroy themselves.

Then, I eat liver, heart, eggs, rib eye, cheese, butter, bacon, fish and seafood, etc. several times a week and have no salad or vegetables of any kind at all (they are not natural food for humans).

My blood pressure goes up twenty points on the high number when I drink coffee, till I start to go pee or poop. Then it goes back down to as it was before. One cup raises it, three cups bring it back down to normal.

My blood pressure goes up thirty points on the top and ten points on the bottom number when I go to the doctors. It does this almost every time...I have tested this three or four times now. It does go back down about an hour after I leave the doctors office and relax again. I can feel this in my head, and it is stress related...I found a way to avoid this...don't go to the doctors and if I do go, go pee before going into the office. I think it is more about being frustrated from spending a couple hundred bucks for the visit or from being on the defensive every time I go there because I know they are going to push meds on me...fight or flight response usually raises blood pressure when you have a vampire chasing after you trying to get your blood I guess.

Mmmmm giblets!

My advice is don’t eat kale or alfalfa, there are some things that only food eats.

Always read the ingredients labels on everything -
Corn syrup and High fructose corn syrup is in almost everything they are making now, I avoid it completely. Along with that soybean oil, Sugar listed as the first ingredient, and if there are 20 chemicals listed - I put it back.
Amazing what they are passing off as 'food'.

I personally do not mind having corn syrup in things in moderation. Not a fan of high fructose corn syrup at all though. Prefer cane sugar to either of those. I do not eat much sugar in things anymore. There is something strange going on with most of the store bought breads these days....some chemical they use probably to make it's shelf life longer seems to make it hard to digest properly . There are a few kinds of local bakery breads we still will buy, but we don't buy hardly any of the major brand commercial breads anymore. One thing about making your own bread and foods, you know what is in it.

It's not for me , but my mom (and possibly brother). Our diets are healthy , mostly , not perfect but still above average healthy in amount of fruits/veggies etc.

Thanks, I will take a look at this

fruits and veggies aren't human food

Saladino does have some great OLDER content on his youtube, he is in fact one of the first carnivores I found...

Then he went batsnip off the deep end when he started experiencing some electrolyte and minor hormonal issues because he was eating way too much organ meats and not nearly enough fat, and instead of properly researching what was going on, decided to believe some silly epidemiological and/or mouse studies, and started pouring 400-800 grams of carbs down his neck in the form of pure sugar (fruit and honey).

Do NOT listen to him now. Look to much longer term carnivores like Drs Shawn Baker, Ken Berry and Anthony Chaffee, among many others who are sane and rational.

Also, the state of the spirit impacts a lot on our health. It is always important to make peace with our emotional injuries and not carry them along. Call those people you owe yourself a chat and come to terms, not become friends, but just make sure that there is no ill will, that's best to let go. It helps enourmoulsy too.

This is very true, and is called 'making amends' in 12 step think...

Well, eating chicken liver salad wouldn't get you there anyway. Ditch the salad, minimize the liver (chicken or otherwise), ad just eat mostly fatty beef/ruminant animal flesh and butter, throw in some eggs and bacon/pork IF you tolerate them well (some don't, at least at first) and you'll be good to go.

I learned a new saying that is very apropos:

Nothing tastes as good as vital optimal health feels.

I do think that Saladino can be a bit extreme, but he does say that his channel is aimed to OPTIMAL health, not just a good one, or to lose weight. He has added 300grms of good carbs to his daily diet, and his blood work doesn't show an increase of blood sugar. So, he is correct in HIS case.

I've had a similar experience than him when I achieved my optimum body weight. My body loses liquids too fast when I'm 100% carnivore (eat fats in every meal), therefore my electrolyte balance was off and I felt the same symptoms. I added raw honey, high quality dark chocolate and more cheese (lactose) and the electrolytes are balanced now. However, for people who are still losing weight, probably a 100% carnivore is the best, and then check when they reach their optimal weight. Some people will need some carbs, some won't. Everybody is different.

I know Ken Berry and love the dude too. Don't know about Baker and Chaffee, will look them up. Thanks.

He isn't extreme, he has simply stopped following the real science, and is now engaged in feeding his addition to sugar/carbs. That is all.

but he does say that his channel is aimed to OPTIMAL health,

Except his latest content is anything but...

He has added 300grms of good carbs to his daily diet,

There is no such thing as a 'good carb'. The minimum daily requirement for exogenous carbohydarates/sugar for humans - all of us - is a whopping ZERO. Not one gram. Ever.

and his blood work doesn't show an increase of blood sugar.

He maintains a very high level of physical activity, thus 'burns' most of it oaff.

He has also aged dramatically since he started adding in fruit/honey, just go back and compare how he looked before he went crazy, and how he looks now. This is due to the glycation effects from all of the sugar/carbs.

If he continues in his madness, it will catch up with him.

So, he is correct in HIS case.

Not at all, again, he is simply 'burning' most of it off, but the glycation effects are very evident in his skin/how he looks.

I've had a similar experience than him when I achieved my optimum body weight. My body loses liquids too fast when I'm 100% carnivore (eat fats in every meal), therefore my electrolyte balance was off and I felt the same symptoms.

So, you simply weren't eating enough fats. That, and your electrolytes can be imbalanced in the first few months to even a year or longer, depending on how badly messed up your metabolism was when you started.

I added raw honey, high quality dark chocolate and more cheese (lactose) and the electrolytes are balanced now.

Or, you could have just upped your fats and added in some raw electrolytes for a while until they balanced themselves.

However, for people who are still losing weight, probably a 100% carnivore is the best, and then check when they reach their optimal weight. Some people will need some carbs, some won't. Everybody is different.

Yes... and a whopping NO.

Many get this completely wrong.

Yes, each of us are in a different state of health based on our personal histories and current epigenetics, and so different people can experience different symptoms when switching to carnivore. Some people will do much better - ie, have a much easier time - than other if they go cold turkey.

For those who have oxalate poisoning, they can experience really bad symptoms if they go cold turkey due to something called 'oxalate dumping' (in simple terms this is just detoxing from high levels of oxalates).

I know Ken Berry and love the dude too. Don't know about Baker and Chaffee, will look them up. Thanks.

It is always awesome to keep an open mind.

I would recommend specifically looking up Dr Berrys and Dr Chaffee's interviews with Saladino. Very enlightening. Both are very kind, and do not denigrate or cast aspersions, but they both are very clear in that Saladino's issues were almost certainly caused by his insistence at low fat and high organ meats.

Remember - Saladino was only strict carnivore for a year or so. Dr. Berry and Chaffe and Baker have been carnivore for 5+ years, and many others 12+ years (Kelly Hogan etc).

Also, all - and I mean ALL - of the studies he references to back up his desire to feed his sugar/carb addictions are ridiculous epidemiological studies and/or studies on mice that prove absolutely nothing.

Again, the human requirement for exogenous carbs or sugar is a whopping ZERO. For ALL of us.

a reply to: tanstaafl

Well, I don't agree based on my experience. I feel better by adding honey, lactose and chocolate. My body weight is the same, my blood sugar is the same, but I sleep and enjoy the day a lot more than without the good carbs. Our body uses glucose and we have insulin for a reason, so this theory that we should eat zero carbs is more a belief than an actual fact. I think you are being a little to close minded and extremist, but that's ok, your body your choice. People tend to get super emotional when discussing food, for some reason. Do what makes you happy, I'll do my thing.

Regarding Berry, he is (or was) Keto, that means that he ate a quite a lot of veggies and keto-friendly carbs. Maybe he changed that recently, but he wasn't carnivore.
