🔴Understanding The Carnivore Diet with Dr Anthony Chaffee | LIVE Q&A May 9th, 2024

I've been eating raw carnivore almost primarily since 2011. I eat very high fat meat based. I'm 42 but people think im in my 20s or early 30s. I'd love to be another voice to this incredible movement. Eating this way changed my life and I would love to help bring this knowledge to as many as possible. Thank you Anthony for all you are doing, you're definitely a fave of mine in this field...even with the cussing lol. Perhaps one day I can be on your podcast! , Aurora

Carni for a year now, have watched hundreds of hours of Dr Chaffee, Dr Berry, Dr Baker and a few more. Everytime I watch Dr Chaffee I learn a lot more very helpful information. Thank you Dr C for everything you do.

Chaffee dropping an F bomb is the spicy content I didnt know I needed this morning

Hi everyone, I am new to the carnivore diet. Learning everyday. Thank you to Dr. Chaffee for educating and for taking the time to help the community as much as possible. It makes a world of difference. I definitely battled for the first 2 weeks. I am 1 month into the diet, and I definitely feel much stronger now than I did 2 weeks ago. I struggled with the thought of eating only meat for every meal, pushing through each meal. I felt sick, with indigestion and headaches, to name a few. I was ready to give up, but I didn't, and I am grateful that I am still on this journey. I feel like I have adapted now, and I am enjoying what I eat and how I feel after meals. I feel so much better, my weight is dropping, not that much on the scale but not too bothered about that. I feel great and I can feel the difference in my clothes; the shape of my body has changed so much! I am at the point where thinking of eating sugar or carbs makes me feel sick, and when I had some cake at a birthday party, I felt so sick and battled to fall asleep. If you are struggling with the new way of eating, push through and don't give up. The benefits are so rewarding and worth it.

No need to apologize for the cussing, it doesn’t hurt us 😂we like the passion

I’m following 14 doctors on line, but Dr Chaffee and Dr Mason are closest to me , because I’m former professional athlete my self. 💪❤️
