Dr. Ken Berry's High-Fat Carnivore Diet: A Proper Human Diet Explained

Dr. Berry's Daily Routine and Diet

• ☀️ Dr. Berry engages in daily physical labor on his farm, such as moving sheep and cutting trees, as his primary form of exercise, foregoing a gym membership.
• ⏰ He typically breaks his fast between 2 and 4 p.m. when he feels physiologically hungry, after showering off farm work.
• 🥩 His meals consist predominantly of beef and eggs, or mutton and eggs, sourced from his farm or local ranchers.
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 While the children's diet is primarily meat and eggs, they also consume berries, nuts, and occasional treats.
• 👩‍⚕️ His wife, Nisha, follows a keto diet due to Hashimoto's and IBS, with meat and eggs as the foundation, supplemented by vegetables and spices.

Dietary Philosophy and Historical Context

• 🍽️ The household's diet, including their dogs and cats, centers around meat and fish, aiming for optimal health for all family members.
• 🔁 Dr. Berry practices one or two meals a day (OMAD/TMAD), depending on social situations, family needs, and daily activity levels.
• 🚫 He emphasizes not eating unless truly hungry, even in social settings, to maintain optimal health.
• 📜 Historically, eating more than two meals a day was considered sinful and socially unacceptable, with the term 'glutton' originating from this practice.

Meal Preparation and Nutritional Enhancement

• 🍳 Dr. Berry often prepares his meals by cooking two pounds of ground beef in a cast-iron skillet, then cracking eggs into it and scrambling them together.
• 🧂 He seasons this mixture with pluck seasoning (made with organ meats) or Redmond's Real Salt and salty mineral drops.
• 🐄 To enhance nutrition, he ensures the ground beef includes heart, liver, spleen, and lung, transforming it into a nutrient-dense 'superfood'.
• 🥓 Meals are always cooked in bacon grease and topped with butter.

Supplementation and Optimal Health

• 💊 Dr. Berry discusses three products he consistently uses and recommends: Ancestral Supplements liver capsules, Salty Minerals (for electrolytes and trace minerals), and pluck seasoning.
• ⚡ He also supplements with magnesium and potassium, using unflavored electrolytes when active.
• ☀️ During winter, he takes Vitamin D3 K2, and uses Lugall's iodine due to widespread deficiency.
• 🚫 He believes omega-3, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E supplements are unnecessary if consuming beef, butter, bacon, eggs, and liver regularly.
• 🌱 He envisions a future where regenerative farming practices will restore soil health, potentially eliminating the need for any supplements.
