An example of an ignorant doctor...

Susan Louise — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 20:49:04 GMT

Nowadays there are countless doctors like this...sad to say.

I highly recommend watching this youtube video to the end. It is nearly an hour long, but certainly worth the time. If you can't watch it all in one sitting, bookmark it.

The title:

He Refused To Listen - Swapped Him For Carnivore

Are you getting kick backs for advertising for this constantly? Really your preaching is a huge turn off!

I've asked that question previously. The response that I got was clearly a cut & pasted, scripted reply, so I have to presume that yes, the OP is being compensated somehow.

I don't understand such truely cruel comments. I live this lifestyle myself and have shared my journey along the way.

I share to help others that may be interested in bettering their health. I have been doing so since 2018 when DH and I started by living a low carb lifestyle when he was initially diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic.

What I find absolutely mindblowing is how many folks think living the carnivore lifestyle is a fad, odd, strange, etc.

As a species, we have been eating meat/eggs/seafood/fish and the like since the beginning of time....so it is absolutely 'normal' to eat these foods.

Everything else has been 'normalized'...ultra processed foods...sugars/grains/seed oils and the like.

So many folks still don't see this, or just don't want to and it is so sad.

So glad DH and I woke up from all the nonsense. Helping anyone else to see the light is something that would make me happy.

I enjoy trying to help others...whether it be a sale/clearance price on an item, or their health.

Respectfully @Susan Louise you have told us about it over and over. Anyone who was receptive to the message has it now. Think of how you feel when you see the same commercial over and over - it starts to really turn you off. That may be why some are starting to wonder if there is another reason for your promotion of these uTube videos. One hour? Seriously? As folks are fond of saying on these boards, just my opinion.

@shoesnbags There always new folks joining the forums who have never seen previous posts of mine on this subject. There are also folks who may not have been ready for a change and they are now. There is no harm in sharing new videos when I see really good ones and would like to share.

It is so easy for folks who don't want any of this info to pass this thread on by knowing this.

Hope you get your kidneys and cholesteral checked regularly. I can't imagine just eating meat! yuck! You really come off as preachy like you know better than everyone else....you don't.

@Susan Louise I agree 100% with everything you said. I often think it's sad that folks, including most doctors, are so resistant to the facts. My health is near perfect on a very low carb diet. Moreover, I really like meat, cheese, eggs, etc.

you must not have any familial/inherited medical conditions.

I have no desire to seek any medical information from YouTube.

I think if someone has a viewpoint they want to share about the diet they choose, it would probably be better received on this forum in two paragraphs.

@Susan Louise You say you post these comments and videos to teach people about your better lifestyle. I posted a sincere question in a previous post, which would have been a good teaching moment for you, but my question was completely ignored. I posted it again below, if you care enough to reply this time. Thank you.

@Susan Louise Do you mind me asking how you get all the nutrients you need to prevent osteoporosis? Doesn't seem to be much calcium in meat unless you binge on sardines.

Okay, Blah,Blah Blah. Exactly what did this doctor say or do that made you think he is "The Wizard of Oz'? These ambiguous statements are silly. Just tell us in 2 sentences.

My dh and I made a big change with our health about 5 years ago. We eat no carb. None. We thrive on fruits, veges, protein. We exercise every day by walking. I continue to keep off the 70 lbs I lost. Our health has vastly improved and we are in our early 70's. Life is good.

While I agree with the first statement, I don't agree that "everything else" has been "ultra processed".

It's quite possible to eat fruits, vegetables, grains and other foods that are not processed at all. Healthy societies around the world have been doing it for centuries.

You seem to infer that only meats, etc. are healthy and unprocessed. It's also possible to find many meats, etc. that are "ultra processed" and are not healthy.

Individuals have choices.

I firmly believe that when it comes to our health, we all need to be our own advocates, and research what the docs say.

A course on nutrition may be helpful. You are eating carbohydrates if you eat fruit and vegetables.🥕

You have often shared you are a Type 1 diabetic. You clearly are eating sugar in some form. And even meat turns into sugar, in the absence of carbohydrates. 🙄

The OP shared she had a previous diagnosis of lung cancer. Thankfully, she is well but her dietary advice leaves a lot to be desired @smoochy . Eating a diet consisting only of fat and protein is a recipe for disaster. Sounds like orthorexic behavior.😳

When I read the amount of protein she consumes I am agast, a pound of streak or other fat rich meat.

I myself lost 80 lbs with Weight Watchers a well rounded healthy lifestyle. I often wonder about her cholesterol. A diet of only protein can cause horrible constapation and kidney stones.

The Caveman lifestyle is not healthy no matter what the OP claims. You need a well balanced well rounded eating routine

@Goldengate8361 how does one come to your conclusion of "my health is near perfect" what medical barometers tell a person their health is "near perfect"
