Dr. Ken Berry’s Blueprint for Intermittent Fasting and Ancestral Nutrition

Discover how Dr. Ken Berry structures his day around intermittent fasting and prioritizes nutrient density through high-quality meat and eggs for optimal family health. Learn the few critical supplements he trusts and why overeating is detrimental even within a foundational diet framework.

Short Summary

  • Establish your daily eating window based on true physiological hunger, typically ranging from 2 PM to 4 PM.
  • The bedrock of the diet for adults and children centers on beef, mutton, and eggs, supplemented strategically for micronutrient gaps.
  • Historical context suggests humans are optimally designed to consume only one or two substantial meals daily, counteracting modern grazing habits.

This segment details Dr. Berry's lifestyle, which is anchored by physical work on his regenerative farm, and explores the necessity of critical supplements derived from depleted modern soil nutrition.

91lbs off, so far, at age 62. I have tried EVERYTHING else, including a gastric bypass. Nothing worked over the long term, and the bypass had very unpleasant side effects. Carnivore, with regular workouts and intermittent fasting has been the answer for me. Anecdote is not evidence, but I'd encourage anyone who is worried about their weight and metabolic health to try it for a month.

Eating cheese on my carnivore diet helps me out a lot, but I only eat two types of cheese, cream cheese and Brie cheese, two cheeses with the highest fat to protein ratio (that I can get my hands on from the local grocery store). The carnivore diet is basically an almost zero-carb keto diet. If you're eating lean meats on the carnivore diet, you're doing it wrong.

I also mix ground beef with eggs and eat organs, but I suggest doing it differently. You want to barely cook the egg yolks and organs because you are eating them for nutrients sensitive to cooking. The ground beef has all been exposed to air, so unless you just ground it fresh, it needs to be thoroughly cooked. Egg whites have 4 anti-nutrients that are helpful to cook thoroughly for many people. Regarding organ taste, the two you should focus on are liver and heart. Heart doesn't taste bad after you adapt to it (it is different), and if you don't over cook it. Cooking it like your ground beef really brings out the iron taste. Liver always tastes bad, just a different bad once you cook it. Liver you can taste in your ground beef, and you don't want to cook it as much as your ground beef. Heart mixes well, but you don't want to cook it as much. You only need 2/3 oz of liver for RDA vitamin A, so you don't need a serving. You can eat it like a supplement. I use 2 skillets. I put ground beef in one and cubed heart in the other. For the heart, I cook it fast. Just get a little color on all the sides. You want the exposed sides safe and the inside raw. While the ground beef is cooking, I put one or two small pieces of liver on the side in the ground beef fat. These are small bite sized. Knock it around to get a little color and immediately pull it out. 2 half chews and swallow with water. Fully chewing will leave the aftertaste. It doesn't taste good, but it's over quick. It doesn't ruin the ground beef, and you don't cook out the nutrients you want. Remove the heart from the heat ASAP. Add the egg whites to the ground beef and mix while cooking thoroughly. Near the end, add the yolks and just mix for a few seconds, less than a minute. Remove from the heat and put the heart in. The heart are chunks but taste just fine if nearly raw and you have adapted to them. This method retains more nutrients and tastes better. If you want to eat more than 20 oz of heart or heart plus liver per day, calculate your iron and copper to ensure you don't overdo it.
