Top Carnivore Diet Doctor Tips | Ken Berry

There's this huge misconception in the medical community that a diet high in protein is bad for your kidneys ... This is a complete and utter myth. There's no research... that shows that a high-protein diet, protein from any source, is bad for the human kidneys. And there's definitely no control research showing that protein from meat is in any way bad for kidneys.

There are all kinds of vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids, that you really can only get from foods that are high in cholesterol and high in saturated fat ... If you're avoiding cholesterol and saturated fat, you're not getting access to this cornucopia of vitamins and minerals and fatty acids that your body absolutely needs for essential, optimal human function.

Anyone who's eating over 100 total grams of carbohydrates a day, you're going to have some degree of hyperinsulinemia, some degree of inappropriate, chronic inflammation. It may manifest in your skin, it may manifest in your gut, in your joints, in your hair ... Even your mental health.

People with any medical condition, you're still a human being ... Therefore, you need to eat a human-specific diet, a proper human diet. And for every human on the planet, a proper human diet consists of a large percentage of fatty meat. And until we've got some control research, you can't even argue otherwise.

I think, when you go from a high-carbohydrate diet, to a very, very low-carbohydrate diet, your gut bacteria rebel because you are populated with a high-carb-loving bunch of bacteria in your gut, and all of a sudden, they're not getting the sugar; they're not getting the highly processed grains and starches that they operate best on.

Carbohydrates are uniquely fattening for human beings ... Human beings are, by design or by evolution, low-carbohydrate mammals.

When you're eating a high-carbohydrate diet, your insulin levels are staying chronically high. Your levels of chronic, inappropriate inflammation are chronically high ... Both of those things are going to make you store a lot of fluid, unhealthy fluid, in your body.

I stuck with carnivore and have been a carnivore now for 28, 29 months. And at this point, I have no intentions of ever going back.

I found that many people who think they're allergic to eggs, it's actually the egg white. If they'll just stick to the yolk, they don't have any inflammatory symptoms at all.
