Love this honest review 💯
Once I commented on one of his videos on Instagram where he was talking about phytic acid in oatmeal and how its bad for you because it blocks absorption of iron. He than suggested his usual stuff like steak and raw milk. I mentioned that calcium (which is in milk) competes with iron for absorption and that drinking milk with steak could also hinder the absorption of iron. Somehow that comment was deleted. Weird.
not sure why he would delete that but in short phytic acid blocks nutrient absorbtion…. Dr. Berg, a book called the cancer killers by Dr. Ben Learner and Dr. Majors, also even thomas deluar (not as intense in this space) has come to the same conclusion…. personally i find keeping carbs low, while not nessacarrily out, is a huge game changer in everyway regarding health
If you want to decrease phyctoc acid in oatmeal, soak it in water/ milk the night before. The acid is water soluble and will therefore decrease in the oats and around iron/magnesium etc. Learned this from my uni professor and even looked at studies so it is safe to use
@Anna-ns7tq that’s brilliant!
@@Anna-ns7tqUnfortunately it will only remove roughly 35-40% of the phytic acid, but it’s definitely a solid step to take.
@@JasonActualization yes I know that it won’t help with all of it, but if you are concerned, it can be a good step in the right direction
What bothers me about the carnivore diet is I think the only way to make it has a chance at being healthy in the long run means you have to buy only the highest-quality (aka expensive) meat products possible. Even the average middle-class household could never afford that today. Not to mention it is wildy unsustainable.
Very unsustainable in all senses of the word. Financially, health wise, environmentally…
It’s the unsustainability for me too. There are certain things that are considered unsustainable about other diets too, including plant-based/vegan, yet we have the studies now to show that heavy meat consumption is by far the worst culprit. If everyone went carnivore we’d destroy ourselves and the planet (even faster). That’s just not justifiable to me.
you can just skip the grass fed bullshit and eat your usual meats and fish I guess, if you generally like the selection of products in this diet.
@@VeronicaKozyrevastill incredibly bad for environment. More so actually.
@@AbbeysKitchenplease check out Diana Rodgers, RD from sustainable dish and she can give you a better look into how meat and other animal products are made that are actually helping the environment. As someone who has worked in animal agriculture for decades, it’s incredibly frustrating when folks paint all meat as bad for the environment. Just like I’m sure you get frustrated when someone who isn’t a dietitian has recommended something completely unfounded.
I think that this might be considered a diet of kings. Indulgent in fat and sugars. Kings often died young due to diets of rich meats, creams, and exotic fruits that only they could afford. Meanwhile the slaves and peasants lived long, hardy lives off of vegetables, grains, roots, and fruits. Whatever they could forage or grow. Possibly eggs or chicken, rabbit (all lean). Or fish.
Are you serious? Kings would have tons of bread and processed sugar/ desserts. They barely touched fresh fruit, raw honey, raw dairy, etc.
@@NS-ie2ldhon…… We’re talking the early days of nagivation and colonization. Pasteurization wasn’t invented yet. ALL ANYONE HAD was raw dairy 💀💀 in England and France most castles kept their own bees, and exotic fruit was literally featured as decoration in paintings of nobles’ houses throughout the 16th and 17th centuries because it was only available to the very rich, and the very rich DID avail of it. Their ability to “process” grains was also extremely limited. Bread was not the same light fluffy thing as it is today, and it was eaten by the wealthy, but it was not a luxurious item. Cakes sure but they were definitely high sugar and high fat. And they did eat way too much meat, especially fatty organ meat, such as liver. Gout was literally referred to as the king’s disease bc so many royals had it. King Henry VIII is probably the most well-known example.
@@abbigailcarr2725
Cupcake sweetie pie… first of all, I’m not even sure why we’re using Kings, who sat on their fat asses all day stuffing their facing with all sorts of sweets, pies, pastries, etc, their army of chefs would whip up for them everyday.
How about we look back to hundreds and thousands of years through our evolutionary history where our ancestors sought out highly nutrient and calorie dense foods like meat, organs, honey, raw dairy, fruits, tubers, etc.
You do believe in evolution don’t you honey bunch?
Kings were the only people who could afford sugar which used to be extremely expensive, and they were the only ones who got fat and sick. Now sugar is cheap and everybody is getting fat and sick…
Marie Antoinette famously said “let them eat cake.” Because her class could afford it…
I like drinking fruit juces but very watered down. In my big 1200l tumbler I always put in 1l water and 200ml water. And yet when I mentioned it in a nutrition group that it helps me drink more ppl ached as if I was sipping battery acids laced. As long as you watch the amounts of sugar you consume on a daily basis juice is perfectly fine.
So he found something that he thought worked for him and then decided that everyone should live that way. I don’t know how some of these people get their degrees.
I think it’s terrible that licensed MDs are on here, cause harm by recommending carnivore diets. Shawn Baker had his license suspended over that. I saw a general practitioner (not an endocrinologist) who claimed that the ADA is incompetent, just because they don’t officially endorse his favorite diet. Another one, took a video of himself with his shirt off, preparing his steaks, so everybody could see how big his biceps are, no doubt, from eating red meat, alone.
😂😂😂😂
I watched a carnivore person once say they actually think fiber is like “poison” to you… because it “ferments and rots” in your stomach or something… And they had no gas anymore and good BMs now so it made sense to them, I guess … oof 😅
Ohhhhhhh they have IBS. The gut fermentation causes gas and stomach upset for some people, and they have to reduce their exposure to certain sources of fiber/carbs and such to have relief.
But those protocols are supposed to exist to figure out what foods are specifically causing the issue. The gut bacteria breaking down these foods that we can’t break down ourselves are beneficial to us.
@@WolfeWrangle They said nothing about having gas or BM issues previously, just said they don’t have gas anymore since doing carnivore period.
“slaves to convenience” no babe, if I have to juice my own fruit I’m giving up something like going for a run or seeing a loved one so I’m gonna say no? Also if you give into it it’s gonna go on forever, like why is he not rearing his own cows?
He’s taking it to an extreme, but he is right to some extent. It’s very human to choose the most convenient option, even if we don’t need to, and we have a lot of very convenient options today. Yes, sometimes there’s simply not enough time to prepare a balanced meal, no, I’m not saying you need to make everything from scratch. But I know a lot of people who could make the time to prepare an easy, balanced meal but choose not to because it’s more convenient to them.
He literally said you don’t have to do what he does and he just finds it fun and satisfying. He also said he doesn’t juice oranges by hand all the time, likely because he has other commitments just like you. So why are you so triggered?
By the way, a lot of people rely heavily on takeout and rarely prepare a meal themselves. Spending the time to prepare a meal from scratch, even just once a week is great way to improve your relationship with food (and yourself).
@@Lizard_Queen-ld5ujBingo. Paul is such a kind human being spreading an amazing message, and it concerns me that some folks get feisty in response to his work.
Making your own juice takes minutes You can whilst you are cooking, as you’re already in the kitchen.
You wouldn’t have to sacrifice running or time with family.
You’re just making excuses because you feel called out
I just love ya, that is all 🤣 I enjoy watching Will’s videos from time to time because they’re amusing but I couldn’t get through this one so I was happy to see your review.
I was sad to see Will partner with him for a video but I usually love to see his POV
Will clearly thinks the guy’s diet is too intense . Its fun to see him experiment! Love will 🎉
I watch “carnivore” content bc of the entertainment value. I bet some of them have underlying health issues they haven’t figured out. The high fodmap foods I can’t have is soybeans, but everything else is fine and I do have an autoimmune disease. He may have gut issues sure, but the typical person isn’t going to demonize the entire food group bc of one sensitivity.
The most surprising thing about this video is Will having the willpower (pun intended) to go without his beloved donuts.
One part that has nothing to do with nutrition that’s bad about this diet is that we couldn’t feed the world on those meats, poultry, and seafood. Those animals require a lot more land than modern commercial ranching. That doesn’t even address the increased pollution. This diet isn’t sustainable in any way.
Yes!
Excellent point!
Who cares about his nutrition advice, he doesn’t believe in soap, SOAP! Maybe that tells us all we need to know.

I thought we were better than this especially post covid
These guys are wild, literally out here telling people you don’t have to fear fruit like they’ve made a groundbreaking discovery. Such a bizarre mindset to me 😵💫
It’s crazy. They fearmonger some of the most basic nutritious foods
I love how they use a juicer from the watermelon but then have to use a hand juicer and hand cranked meat grinder because “we’re slaves to convenience”… make that make sense 😂
“we’ve become slaves to convenience”
name something more convenient than being super rich
THANK YOU
Yoooooo 🎉
Hey Abbey
I have been following your channel for a while. I’d like to first say thank you for your incredible content. Intuitive eating has helped me to begin tackling a BED. I have been going through menopause and really struggling with my weight. This caused a return of some unhealthy relationships I used to have with food. I recently had a doctor’s appointment to discuss the issues I am having with my weight. I am doing strength training twice a week, regular yoga sessions and I walk up to 10 miles per week. Unfortunately the weight doesn’t seem to be shifting. So I booked an appointment with a female physician to see if she could make some suggestions or possibly run some tests to see if there was an issue with my thyroid. Her advice shocked me. She asked me how many calories I eat in a day. I said I am already in a calorie deficit and consuming between 1400 and 1,600 calories per day. She said there is your problem. You are eating too many calories. You need to drop to below 1000 calories if you want to lose weight. I asked how I could possibly hit my macros at such a low calorie count. And she look at me like I was an idiot and said if you want to lose weight at your age the only way it will happen is if you reduce your calories. I couldn’t believe what I had been told. Luckily I have enough information about health and diet to know that her advice was wrong. My concern was that a doctor had given such poor information to someone who had previous eating disorders which included bulimia. When doctors make recommendations in the way that she did add the way that Paul has, they can potentially cause huge issues for people who believe that what they are saying has to be right because they are a doctor. I hope more people than not see your content and understand how important it is to make sure they are informed about the research. Keep sharing, keep calling these people out and keep challenging. Needless to say I did not follow my doctor’s advice. I have continued with my exercise and stayed at the same calorie deficit. My relationship with food is healing and I am concentrating on feeling better and healthier rather than having a small waist.
I’m so sorry you had this experience with your doctor, it’s too common and a failure of our system to support patients. I hope you can find a dietitian or professional that can help you on your journey❤
@@AbbeysKitchen thank you! I am still searching but staying up to date and informed myself as much as possible. Keep doing what you do. Your content is invaluable 👏
Are you on any HRT? Low oestrogen greatly affects weight.
@@lynncrfI am on HRT. Luckily I had a supportive doctor who was proactive about testing my hormones and finding solutions to support my body through menopause early on. It’s a shame she’s left the NHS. Thank you for the suggestion though
