Dr. Berg’s Opinion on Carnivore Diet
So I wanted to do a short video to give my opinion on the carnivore diet,okay, where you’re just eating meats mainly. Here’s my thoughts. It’s good for certain typesof cases, people that have GI issues, people that have a lot of chemical sensitivities,because it can help them. And I think that would be good short term as they’re healing.But if they do that, I’m going to highly recommend that they add organ meats,
because with organ meats, you can get all the fat-soluble vitamins. There’s more minerals.And US Wellness Meats is a really good source of liverwurst, grass-fed, and they even havesome burgers that have organ meats mixed in there. So I really think that would be really good.But a diet that provides all the nutrients is really the best diet that you can be on. So youcan choose different types of foods, but it’s going to be really hard to get all of your nutrients
just from this diet. Vitamin C is going to be missing, certain minerals, potassium is probablygoing to be low. So that’s why I like a combination of animal proteins and vegetables. I think thatwould be even better than this. But on the flip side, some people with digestive issues do verywell on this diet. Personally, I’ve tested out consuming large quantities of vegetables on myselfand tens of thousands of other people for a long period of time, and I know that works very well.
Also, you get the phytonutrients, but if you’re doing this diet, you’re not going to get a lotof phytonutrients, which has a lot of health benefits. And another challenge is if you’redoing this, you’re going to basically be doing a high protein diet. And the type of keto thatI recommend is moderate protein. So if you’re doing large quantities of meat, for example,you’re going to spike insulin to some degree. You’re also going to get a lot of phosphorus.
you’re going to get a lot of nitrogen. If the kidneys can’t handle it, if the liver is nothealthy, that could also be a problem with the buildup of ammonia. And the vegetables couldcounter that very easily. So I think it’s good in certain circumstances temporarily, but generallynot for everyone. All right.
