Eating protein, even a lot of it from fatty meat, will not turn into sugar. Your body doesn't work that way. If someone you follow says it does, you can unfollow them. They don't know what they're talking about. In a 2001 study, 10 men with type 2 diabetes ate 50 grams of protein as lean beef. Their blood sugar did not go up. The High Protein Craze Has Gone TOO Far + Questions Answered

WHAT I ORDER AT MCDONALD'S When I eat at McDonald's, I order off the a la carte menu: seven quarter pounder patties stacked up in a container. No bun and no fries. When you order that many, they usually have to cook them fresh, so you get piping hot patties. Meat, salt and pepper, and that's it. My video is below.

DO YOU DRAIN THE GREASE? I used to drain the grease off my ground beef every single time, and I was real careful about it. I don't do that anymore. That grease is animal fat. Beef tallow is mostly saturated and monounsaturated fat, with only a little polyunsaturated. So I leave it in the pan and crack my eggs right on top of the beef. That soaks up the healthy animal fat so I get more of it.

If you cannot stop eating cheese, it is not a willpower problem. There is real chemistry behind it. When casein, the main protein in milk, gets broken down, it releases small pieces called casomorphins. A 2023 review in Foods says the best studied one, BCM-7, shows evidence of "promoting the binding and activation of the μ-opioid receptor." That is an opioid receptor. The same review says there are still too few studies in living people to be sure what it does in us. A 2026 study in the Journal of Dairy Science tested 26 US Cheddar cheeses. BCM-7 turned up only in cheeses made from A1/A2 milk, at up to 9.75 mg/kg. BCM-9 turned up in both A1/A2 and A2/A2 cheeses, at up to 127 mg/kg. Here is my view, and it is my view, not a proven fact. Milk is made to keep a baby nursing and growing fast. Cheese is milk protein concentrated, so whatever pull milk has, cheese has more of it. If you are Low-carb/Keto/Carnivore and one slice of cheese turns into half a block, pay attention to that. The Study and my videos below...

CAN YOU EAT CARNIVORE AT DOLLAR GENERAL? Times are tight, and a lot of people tell me they can't afford to eat meat. So I went to Dollar General to see what I could find. Somebody will always say it's not perfect. Compared to what is the question to ask? Compared to the chips, cookies and soda in the next aisle, eggs and meat from a dollar store are a health food. Do the best you can with the money you have. Buy the eggs and the meat, and leave the processed junk in boxes and bags on the shelf. My videos are below.

Oatmeal has been marketed as a healthy breakfast for decades. But that doesn't mean it's the best choice for your metabolic health. Yes, maple brown sugar instant oatmeal is worse because of the added sugar. But plain steel-cut oats are still loaded with starch that gets broken down into glucose. If you have diabetes, fatty liver, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, or you're trying to lose weight, pay attention to what happens to your blood sugar after that "healthy" bowl of oatmeal. Don't take my word for it. Test it yourself. Eat your normal bowl of oatmeal with the banana and honey, then check your blood sugar an hour later or watch what happens on a CGM. Send this to someone who still thinks oatmeal is a healthy breakfast. Have you ever checked your blood sugar after eating oatmeal? 👇🏼🥣 For more information about the Proper Human Diet, join us inside the PHD Community or watch more on my YouTube channel. #Oatmeal #BloodSugar #InsulinResistance #MetabolicHealth #ProperHumanDiet

Forcing your A1c too low with diabetes drugs can kill you. That's what the ACCORD trial found. 10,251 people with type 2 diabetes, average age 62. One group was pushed with medications to an A1c under 6.0%. That group had 257 deaths compared to 203 in the standard group, and the intensive part of the trial was stopped early. They had more severe low blood sugars, more big weight gain, and no significant drop in heart attacks or strokes. A low A1c you earn by not eating sugar and starch is a completely different thing from a low A1c forced down with stacks of drugs in an older person. One lowers the glucose AND the insulin. The other piles on medication, and low blood sugar in seniors means falls and broken hips. My full video on this is below... If more drugs to hit a lower number led to more deaths, why are we still doing it to grandma? Study and my videos below...

Meat and eggs contain little to no carbohydrate, so they don't cause the blood sugar spikes that breads, cereals, pasta, rice, sugary drinks, and other ultra-processed foods do. Instead of constantly chasing high blood sugar with more medication, remove the food that's driving the problem in the first place.

Stop eating fake protein. They take ultra processed junk, add a little whey protein, print HIGH PROTEIN across the front, and hope you'll mistake it for real food. Don't fall for it. If you want protein, eat protein. Beef Eggs Fish Chicken Real protein comes packaged with the nutrients your body actually needs. It keeps you full longer, helps maintain muscle, supports a healthy metabolism, and gives your body real fuel instead of empty marketing. "But Dr. Berry, meat is too expensive." That's simply not true. Head to my YouTube channel and watch "Carnivore on a Budget: 10 Cheap Foods That Actually Work." I'll show you affordable, nutrient-dense foods that cost less than many of these so-called "protein" snacks and will nourish you far better. #ProperHumanDiet #Carnivore #Keto #HighProtein #Nutrition

Salt has been blamed for decades, but sodium is an essential mineral your body needs for healthy nerve function, muscle contraction, hydration, and maintaining blood volume. For many people, the conversation isn't simply "eat less salt." It should be about understanding your individual health, eating real food, and recognizing when outdated nutrition advice doesn't fit the evidence. #TheProperHumanDiet

I followed the standard nutrition advice. Then I followed the diabetes diet. I got fatter. I got more diabetic. At some point, you have to stop and ask a simple question. If the advice is working, why are obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver getting worse every year? #ProperHumanDiet #CarnivoreDiet #MetabolicHealth #DrKenBerry

How many of these signs do you have? 👇 Most people don't realize insulin resistance can show up years before they're ever diagnosed with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Some of the earliest warning signs include: • A growing belly pooch • Feeling hungry or sleepy after meals • Skin tags • Dark patches of skin • High triglycerides The good news? You can do something about it. On my YouTube channel, I break down what causes insulin resistance, which labs you should ask for, and the simple nutrition changes that can help lower insulin naturally. If you want to understand what's really going on, that's the best place to start. #InsulinResistance #MetabolicHealth #Type2Diabetes #LowCarb #DrKenBerry

Everyone warns you that eating meat will "stop you up." But many people who start carnivore experience the exact opposite. New research is challenging the idea that fiber is required for a healthy gut, and many carnivores report less bloating, fewer digestive issues, and better bowel health. Have you tried carnivore? What happened to your digestion after the switch?

Real, full-fat cheese & other dairy has great macros and is a good source of vitamins/minerals. But, it carries an addictive molecule that causes many people to over-eat their satiety hormones. This molecule is know as Casomorphins and is put in the milk to addict her baby to milk, thus ensuring drinking enough to grow and gain weight as fast as possible. This same molecule causes many people to crave cheese/yogurt/milk and causes them to eat too much food. Some research shows that Raw Milk causes less craving from the casomorphins... Keep in mind, this affects some more than others (normal distribution curve), but for some folks (including me) cheese is a problem.
