🔴 Is Coffee the Reason Your Carnivore Diet Isn’t Working? (Doctor Explains)

Hi Dr Anthony.. I needed this podcast to help me !! As you know I am a lifelong Carnivore ..that sadly got addicted to coffee in only a couple of weeks four years ago, when I was 80 years old, when Mac and I decided to bring an old coffee plantation in South America ,back to life , planting 1200 baby coffee trees , and restoring the home and lives of two families . We fell in love with their country , the farm , the people and Coffee! We work hard there AND at the ranch in Canada . I cannot afford ACHES AND PAINS .. I am 84 now and still do everything that I did at 20, 40, 60 .. I found out through stopping and starting coffee consumption , that drinking coffee actually tackles my weak spots .. my right hand ..and the fingers of my left hand ..They have been frozen, crushed , left thumb dislocated twice ..and , YES, thoroughly abused by me and the jobs I do as a working cowboy and now coffee planter and picker.. I have tried coffee of all types ..from "fermented " to Swiss Water Decaffeinated ... and our own beautiful and incredibly delicious coffee .. which grades "Supremo" down south . If my WILL craters , and I have a cup .. which of course leads to another and then several days of "falling off the wagon".. my damaged fingers and thumb joint swell and simply wont do the work I need them to do . Then they wake me up at night with pain .. and everyday they get a bit worse and feel thick like sausages . I tried backing off to weak cups which are more milk than coffee ..NOPE.. Decaf?? NOPE.. SAME DEAL!! When I decide to smarten up and quit cold turkey , it only takes ONE day to make a huge difference .. and by Day Two .. Im back to having full strength in my hands again.. It has been really really annoying and frustrating for me because I found I just LOVE the taste and smell of coffee .. But I need my hands every day for every job .. working with the horses , throwing rope, feeding cows , fencing , twisting high tensile wire , even handling delicate surgical instrumemts , and loading syringes .. my fingers couldnt flex or bend easily ..even letting a rope go, they couldnt work fast enough.. This experience has made me understand , and have great empathy for ANYBODY who has ANY addiction . . So I guess coffee has helped make me be a better and much more sympathetic person . Since I dont live close to many people .. I dont think my change in understanding makes any difference to anyone . But if anybody is questioning whether or not coffee can cause problems , I believe, if you have ANY weak or previously injured joints, muscles, nerves or organs .. I think you may find that coffee exacerbates your vulnerable body parts .. caffeinated or uncaffeinated !.. So thankyou for this Podcast Dr Anthony and your delightfup friend . I NEEDED IT TO GIVE ME STRENGTH TO ONCE MORE FILL MY CUP WITH WATER instead of coffee😢😢 Cheers , Maggie 😅

This is the real final boss for all carnivore/keto. Its so hard for me to even convince my healthy friends that caffeine is bad.

Okay. I'm game. Just like I did with the carnivore diet and said I'll try it for 90 days. I'll do the same with coffee. Thanks Dr Chaffey.

I went carnivore a year ago but kept drinking my1-2 cups of black coffee a day (with a tsp of butter). Still experienced the benefits of carnivore..lost 25 lbs, joint pain reduced dramatically, inflammation way down. No plans on quitting coffee but I’ll keep monitoring my health..

I get bad muscle cramps when my physical exertion ramps up, all that went away when I quit drinking coffee.

Coffee is the last thing I need to ditch. I am addicted...

Even after 7 months of a carnivore diet, it took me a long time to understand that coffee gave me a taste for sweets. After 2-3 days of stopping coffee, I felt more energy throughout the day, better skin around my eyes and above all my taste for sweets disappeared. In the end, coffee is a drug that exhausts the body, gives bad energy, makes you old and gives you a taste for sweets.

I quit coffee. Lose weight and feel better. Never go back. I dont need that stuff

I quit coffee for 7 days and lost 10lb of water weight I wasn’t even aware I had

I recently quit coffee and tee. I feel much better now. Stable energy and mood.
