Victoria improves health on low-carb diet

November 26, 2022 No Comments

Since 1975, Victoria has divided her time between her native Paraguay and the United States. Coming from a long line of family members who were active and healthy well into their late nineties, Victoria became concerned last year when—at 66 years old—she felt she was losing energy and generally not feeling her best. Not keen to go on medication, she decided to do some research to see what else she could try, and when she came across the carnivore diet—it was advice that sounded vaguely familiar. “My God,” she said, “My grandfather and my father used to eat basically meat. A lot of meat in the morning…beef with a lot of eggs. My father passed away this year in January and he was 100 years old, and he could do everything by himself. He was a little slow, but he could bathe and eat by himself, walk—and his mind was so clear!”

Victoria decided to take the plunge and go fully carnivore. The result? Her psoriasis disappeared and she ended up losing 32 pounds! Her son, who was considering a plant-based diet at the time, saw his mother’s transformation and decided to give it a go. An avid athlete and fighter, he was able to heal many of his past injuries and is feeling fantastic. Her daughter was a bit more wary, but as Victoria was doing the cooking, she inadvertently signed up to do the carnivore diet too! Initially, her daughter experienced terrible hives, but after a few days her body calmed down and she has since experienced the same life-changing results as her mother. They both believe that it was her body releasing years of toxins, which surprised Victoria considering her family always ate high quality organic food in the past. Victoria says to people who are transitioning from a standard western diet to expect some detox symptoms when going carnivore, but encourages them to press through and keep going.

Another family member that experienced relief on the carnivore diet was Victoria’s 84 year old aunt, who was able to go from using a walker, to using a cane, to not needing any mobility aids whatsoever. A great reminder that you’re never too old to try something new, or to give your body the opportunity to heal.

Now, Victoria’s meals take 10-15 minutes to create, and she’s delighted with all of the extra time she has to do other things. At 67, she is on no medication, and has recaptured the boundless energy that she had been seeking just 9 months before.

Victoria’s story reminds us that the carnivore diet isn’t a new way of eating, but a return to what people in many different countries considered perfectly normal not so long ago. Whether she’s taking part in barbecues in Paraguay or eating ribeye steaks in the United States, Victoria feels amazing and is happily spreading the word far and wide. “Try it for 90 days—it won’t kill you—but it can change your life!”

Bradley improved fat loss, muscle gain, sciatica, cognition, and athletic performance

November 15, 2022 No Comments

When Bradley joined the army straight out of college, he never really gave much thought about nutrition. “I think—like a lot of young soldiers—I just ate whatever I wanted with the expectation that I was going to burn off all the pizza and beer.” It slowly caught up with him, however, and by the time his four years in the army were over, he had gained twenty pounds and was experiencing lower back pain. Shortly after leaving active duty, he was diagnosed with bulging disks around his L5-S1. A back surgery in 2018 mostly solved the issue, but there was still lingering stiffness in his lower back and leg.

As the years rolled on, Bradley continued to try to better his health with limited success. Then, when he got deployed overseas in 2020 with the Army Reserve, a friend recommended the ketogenic diet. “I was calorie restricting, I was running 20 to 30 miles a week…I was just exhausting myself…and I just wasn’t seeing any real positive results.” Thinking a military base would be an ideal environment for a controlled dietary experiment, he took the plunge and overnight cut out processed foods, sugars and sodas, while loading up his plate with all the protein and fat he could find.

“Some people talk about switching to low carb and seeing positive effects in a couple of days or weeks—but for me—it took about 20 minutes…I couldn’t finish that plate of food. This was really my first introduction to satiety.” After that, Bradley was off to the races. He lost 30 pounds over a six week period, and eighteen months later is happy to report that he is the healthiest he’s ever been. “I look better, my skin feels healthier, I’m stronger than I was before I injured myself—and the pain that was lingering after the surgery vanished in a matter of weeks…This was such a perspective shift for me—showing how quickly you can turn around your health just by putting proper fuel in your body.”

His Achilles heel—an insatiable sweet tooth—also disappeared within a matter of days. “In the past, if there was an Oreo in front of me, I’d have eat the whole box…and now…I just have no desire for it.” About to turn 33, Bradley now confidently lifts heavy weights at the gym without fear of injury, or experiencing any soreness the next day. “I just compare that to running five days a week in the past, and I would wake up and my shins would be on fire.” He’s also been able to attain greater mental clarity and concentration, something he found particularly useful when pursuing his Master’s degree.

“The surprising thing to me about the carnivore diet, was really how little effort it took. You know, it’s not about discipline—everybody thinks it is—but it’s really not. I didn’t lack for discipline running 30 miles a week, but then I couldn’t control myself in front of candy. So, it wasn’t a discipline issue, it was about ‘How is your brain wired to think about food?’ and ‘What kind of food are you putting in it?’”

George C loses fat, builds muscle, and heals from gut disorders on a carnivore diet

November 15, 2022 No Comments

After graduating from UC Berkeley with a degree in engineering, George’s job took him to China. For ten years he traveled all throughout Asia, and as he entered his thirties, he decided to leave the corporate world and go into business for himself. After a few entrepreneurial missteps, he founded several food and fitness companies, and has been successfully running them for the past 20 years. Always fascinated by health and wellness, he regularly went to the gym and followed a low fat/high protein diet for 15 years. Around the age of 46, however, his body started to fall apart. At that time, he was starting a new project in Beijing when he developed a cough that lasted for six months. He also noticed that his usual health routine was no longer working. “Even though I worked out, I wasn’t able to recover. I had all kinds of little issues, like skin lesions and intestinal disorders, and all these things—to me—didn’t feel right.”

When business came to a screeching halt at the end of 2019 due to Covid-19, George made the most of his extra time by doing a deep dive into nutrition. In his research, he came across Shawn Baker on YouTube, who he initially thought was a little bit crazy. Still, after reading his book and following him for a few years, the carnivore diet started to make sense.

After finally taking the plunge, George initially found that he had trouble eating a lot of meat in one sitting, so he gradually increased the amount over time. Now, he enjoys a dozen eggs for breakfast, as well as 2 ½ pounds of meat before the day is over. At 51 years old, the symptoms he was suffering from a few years ago are completely gone, and he currently is able to train in the gym every single day—something he was unable to do even in his twenties and thirties. This sits in stark contrast to the norm in China, where George says that (due to immense stress and lifestyle choices) businessmen have an average life expectancy of 50 years.

In China, meat is still regarded as one of the healthiest things you can eat, but the idea of a meat-only diet is still considered unusual. He currently lives in the western city of Chengdu, where one of the most popular dishes is a traditional hotpot; a soup rich in bone broth and fatty beef.

George still lives on the other side of the world, and happily helps others transition to a carnivore diet as an online coach for the Revero community. He acknowledges that there is a mental obstacle when it comes to giving up vegetables—but because of his incredible results, he encourages people who worry about it give it try for one month. “See how it goes, and then you can decide for yourself whether or not it’s for you.”

Treflyn is half the weight he used to be

November 15, 2022 No Comments

Treflyn is 76 years old and is from Wales, in the United Kingdom. Early in life, he realized he was obese. He has fought with his weight for most of his life since then.

In 2019, Treflyn decided to turn his back on the way that he had been eating and living. He had always tended to put on weight. And like most people, he had managed to lose weight but also to put it on again. By his 40’s, he was genuinely overweight. Along his weight loss journey, Treflyn saw Dr. Joanne McCormack, an advocate of the Low Carbohydrate Diet on Youtube. He realized she was from nearby Warrington, so he met with her. As a result, he started running multiple weekly support group meetings for Dr. McCormack.

On January 19th, 2019, he took things a step further and went to eating one meal a day, or “OMAD”, cutting out carbs and junk food completely. This helped him lose more weight.

After he learned about the ketogenic diet, Treflyn started eating more fat and less protein but found that his weight loss stalled. He decided that his weight loss was better supported by a high-protein diet that is lower in fat and very low-carbohydrate. Treflyn says, “I realized…all that fat on your body, it’s stored food, I said to people ‘grab hold of that, well that’s, you know, Christmas dinner 2017, that’s your birthday.’ We’re walking around with food on our bodies, and yet we’re sticking food in our mouths!”

Over the course of his weight loss journey, he has lost 135 pounds, which is half of his body weight. He originally weighed 270 pounds.

Treflyn focuses on protein. “I don’t skimp on the protein. I eat one meal a day, and have been for four years… I’ve done multiple 96-hour fasts, because every so often, I have a blowout, I get it wrong. I can’t eat one biscuit. Now, you might think that’s good, no, I have to eat the whole packet, you know?” Like many of us, he finds that it’s hard to only eat a little of something that is sweet: “I’m a carbohydrate addict, really, you know.”

At one point before his diet, on a trip to Spain, Treflyn had to rent a mobility scooter because he had trouble walking. He has certainly improved since then. Now, he says “I don’t have those issues. I can get up off the floor unaided; I can stand up very quickly. I don’t have pains.”

Treflyn finds that most people know that they are eating unhealthy foods. “That’s what we do; we are self-harming, we’re screwing up our own lives, our own wonderful God-given bodies.” He continues his commitment to teaching people to eat a low-carb carnivore diet, scheduling meetings in a local pub. He finds logic in a carnivore diet, saying, “If it works, it can’t be wrong, and if it doesn’t work, it can’t be right.”

Ron got rid of skin tags, snoring, back pain, diverticulosis, toenail fungus, anxiety

Growing up near the Adirondacks in upstate New York, Ron worked in the family construction business and was a lifelong subscriber to the Standard American Diet. In high school, he was 5‘6” and 205lbs, with a 36 inch waist. Since his work kept him active, he was able to stay trim for a while, but when he hit his 40’s and transitioned to a stationary desk job—his weight skyrocketed up to 285 pounds.

After experiencing a few unnerving health problems such as gallstones and a perforated colon, his real health scare came in January of 2022, when he had an episode of Bell’s Palsy. It spooked Ron at the time, as his brother had just suffered a stroke the previous year.

Thinking of his daughters and how we wanted to be around for them, Ron felt compelled to make a change. He came across the now infamous Joe Rogan interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson, who was discussing his carnivore diet. “Right after that, I’m like, ‘Carnivore! I love meat!’ So, I started on that, and it’s been no looking back ever since.”

Ron took the plunge and before long, he was losing 10 to 12 pounds per week. Starting out, he experienced some gastric issues, as well as a bad bout of brain fog saying “I got dumber than a stump for two weeks!” By week three, however, the aforementioned issues disappeared, and he began feeling “Really, really good.” Overall, the transition phase lasted three to eight weeks, so Ron encourages people to give the diet at least 90 days before calling it quits. Incredibly—in less than one year—Ron lost a whopping 100 pounds!

Some other happy disappearances include: skin tags, snoring, diverticulitis, toe fungus, and back pain. Ron is also very happy to report that his sex life has never been better.

Ron and his wife (who also lost 40 pounds on the diet) like to keep an eye out for sales when shopping carnivore, and when choosing leaner steaks, they supplement with eggs or additional fat to keep them satiated. Additionally, Ron enjoys pork belly and seafood, as well as homemade wings cooked in the air fryer on game days when he’s cheering on his beloved Buffalo Bills.

At the start of the football season, he reintroduced beer, and while he didn’t suffer any adverse reactions, Ron realized he had to limit his intake to one or two cans—otherwise the junk food becomes more tempting with every passing beer.

At 52 years old, Ron is incredibly grateful for his new lease on life. He has extra energy and focus to write music and play his guitar, and is able to walk all day at an amusement park without having to stop and catch his breath every few minutes.

He shares his incredible transformation with anyone who will listen, hoping to help others experience the same freedom from obesity. “From a weight loss standpoint, you lose 100 pounds—it generally gives you credibility with most folks.”

Alicea gains muscle and manages mental health on the carnivore diet

November 3, 2022 No Comments

Alicea lives in northern California. She’s 52 and struggled with eating disorders since she was 15 years old. While she was never obese, she still struggled with bulimia, bingeing, and purging. At one point, she got down to 107 pounds, which isn’t much for her 5’ 7” frame. Alicea often thought, “If someone could just tell me what foods I should eat, I could figure this out!”

She grew up believing fats were bad and would binge on chocolate-covered nuts and vegetables, admitting that she was a carbohydrate addict. Alicea also became addicted to exercise as a way to burn off all the extra calories. Her situation is a good example of the saying that “you can’t exercise away a bad diet.”

Alicea did try a plant-based diet but gained weight on it and did not stay with it. She experienced joint pain, anxiety, and depression over the years, and was “on a lot of diet pills, also, in my 30s. I think going off those caused depression too because I was on Phentermine forever.”

In 2014, Alicea weighed 150 pounds and wanted to stop thinking about food while losing some weight. She was “keto for a while… It was helping to some degree.” However, she found that “I was using food and sugar; I was addicted to it, so any emotion that came up, I was still eating it.”

Alicea was “in the keto space” in September 2020 and listened to the Joe Rogan podcast with Dr. Shawn Baker. She “figured I would try it, and I actually hid it from my husband for at least a week, because I thought he, or anybody, would think ‘uh oh there she goes on a crazy, you know, her eating disorders are back and this is nuts’ because I didn’t know anybody in my real life that was doing it.”

She noticed that the more she got rid of sweets, the more “the urges for all the sugar stuff goes away.” In a week or two, she thought, “Wow, there is something here!”

Alicea notes that her “recovery is so quick, it’s like ridiculous.” Her current diet is about 70% fat and 30% protein, and she maintains her weight at 145 pounds, with 18% body fat and good muscle mass. She eats two meals a day, including eggs, pork rinds, eggs, and red meat. She prefers flank steak and tri-tip over ribeye and avoids liver.

Alicea doesn’t have any more cravings and attributes that to “my insulin is really low and I don’t have the carbs coming in for my cycle and hormones to go nutty, and being in 12-step programs, talking my stuff out and not running to food for my emotional release.” She also has had “a lot of counseling in my past, and working on myself” and acknowledges that it did help.

Being carnivore is now part of Alicea’s identity, and she says she “doesn’t see other things as food anymore…the obsession and compulsion is completely gone; it’s amazing!”

 

Bjorn resolved metabolic syndrome and arthritis on the carnivore diet

November 3, 2022 No Comments

Bjorn is a 48-year-old independent filmmaker who works for some environmental non-profits. He has a passion for wilderness adventure, particularly using “the technology called the Fat Bike, you know the fat bike was invented in Alaska to ride on winter trails like the Iditarod trail, but I’ve been for the last dozen years or so exploring far and away with these things.”

Bjorn started out eating the same diet that everyone else eats for this type of adventure, Snickers bars, and energy blocks, constantly eating to “keep my blood sugar up” but “I just started getting fatter and fatter, sicker and sicker, and sore.” He had some lab work done and discovered he had developed metabolic syndrome. His story is yet another example of how exercise doesn’t make up for a bad diet.

He also developed a knee problem, which “continued to get progressively more and more achy” with accompanying noticeable swelling.

Bjorn began looking for solutions and found some information about low-carb. But he also found a Native American who gave a presentation about “Neuro-decolonization,” which he defined as “breaking the chains of colonial thinking, and it doesn’t matter if you’re Native American or white. We each have these things that we’ve been conditioned by in our contemporary society, and for him…it was a recipe to follow to break yourself of this. It was an ancestral diet and intermittent fasting.”

After learning this, Bjorn became committed to these two principles. He catches wild salmon, and hunts for Dall sheep, caribou, and moose, with an occasional bear. These provide most of the meat for his diet.

He experienced weight loss, and his knee began to hurt less. He found himself more clear-headed, and two years later, when he repeated his blood work, he had reversed all of the abnormal markers.

Bjorn finds that his extreme adventures are much easier with his new diet, and his partner is now on board too. “We did a pretty hardcore trip last winter, and it really felt like we were clicking on a new formula for how we fuel ourselves on these trips… It used to be we’d have a cereal breakfast in the morning, and by 10 or 11 opening up the snack bag and eating all day, and now just go all the way till 3 or 4 in the afternoon, physical exertion, working hard, never feeling those hunger pains.”

After morning coffee, they have a snack of smoked salmon at 4, then travel the rest of the day and make one big meat meal at the end of the day!


Bjorn’s work includes making documentaries about Native Alaska communities, and he has noted: “the quality of life from having that connection to your food resource, to be able to go hunt the walrus, seal, caribou and whale.”

He sees that with “50 years of garbage diet” for the Natives, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease rates are “skyrocketing.”

Tracy manages her weight and cancer treatment on keto and carnivore

October 27, 2022 No Comments

Keto and carnivore have changed my life beyond anything in my wildest/hopeful dreams. I was introduced to Keto, or should I say re-introduced to Atkins, by a coworker who had lost a noticeable amount of weight. Because it came from a woman’s magazine I really wasn’t on board with it and felt the need to research it. Keto has benefited my life way beyond weight loss: I have a few auto immune diseases, I’m insulin resistant, and I’m obese.

After about three months research I started keto in January 2018. I stayed below 20 total carbs. Weight loss was slow, but weight loss was not my number one priority after having done the research to learn how to manage my auto immune without meds and lower my A1c and my fasting insulin. In August 2018, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and went back to YouTube and the books to learn about keto and cancer. The most valuable thing that I learned was sugar is cancers favorite fuel. I oncologist does not agree with me on this but I don’t need his blessing. Not throwing him under the bus, he is very open minded and one of the few MDs on board with me and Keto.

I had a bilateral mastectomy and 27 lymph nodes removed on the right side. The chemo protocol was Taxol and Adriamycin + Cytoxin. Pretty mean stuff. Of course, I had all the side effects that go with chemotherapy from hair loss to vomiting and loss of appetite, but my overall health was far better because I existed on a diet of pastured eggs, olives, avocado, liverwurst and Swiss cheese. I know that sounds like pregnancy kind of food but it kept me in really good shape. My plan was to eat two meals a day for the three days leading up to chemo and then I would fast for 2 to 3 days following chemo. I did use an electrolyte replacement. LMNT had some really good flavors that agreed with me or I would just have sea salt in water.

Unfortunately, I could not finish the second chemo protocol because I developed bilateral pulmonary embolisms and was 80% on room air. So, I missed the last two treatments of Adriamycin Cytoxan. My oncologist was confident that I would do well even though I had also opted to skip radiation. I was taking an aromatase inhibitor from July 2019 through August 2022.

In July 2019 I was told that my cancer was gone. I would have to do 10 years of the aromatase inhibitor which prohibits the body from making estrogen from testosterone. My cancer was HER++. Estrogen loves fat and now I became more focused on getting rid of my excess body weight. Visceral fat secretes all sorts of things that also make you sick. I was sarcopenia & post menopausal and could not even do curls with a 2 1/2 pound weight!

Luckily, I live alone and I’m not tempted by other foods and I started to learn more about the carnivore diet as the extreme elimination diet. As a sidenote, I have suffered from depression since childhood and was hopeful that this would help manage depression. I knew I was low in protein and wanted to get my protein only from food: I do not eat shakes or snacks or bars. I might try Ben Bikman’s Hlth Shake (more to come on that.)

At any rate, I did not gain weight during Covid and I am probably down around 80 pounds. I weigh in Measure once a month but I just have a simple bathroom scale so I don’t live and die by that number. My A1c is 5.1 and my endogenous insulin is down to 11. My goal is to get my A1c into the high 4s and get my endogenous insulin below 5. My endocrinologist is not on board with any of this; therefore, I simply lie to her. I did ask for Metformin though during chemo because my A1c shot up to 6–insulin was sky-high, too.

This spring I enrolled in a breast cancer study for patients with metastasis. I learned that my cancer has metastasized beyond the lymph nodes. I was gutted. It is liver Mets and obviously there’s nothing that can be done except to take the oral chemo and a shot (IM) as long as I can tolerate it.

I’m having a very hard time eating anything. This is where I think I’m going to consider Ben’s shake. My blood glucose is fine and I still have ~30 pounds to go and could certainly fast, but I miss eating something besides the electrolyte. I’m very strict with the diet it’s more than lifestyle now because it’s part of my medical protocol.

Shawn, thank-you so much for being on YT & cutting through all of the BS. You may not know how much we, or at least I, rely on you for guidance because it just can’t be found in the local community and these doctors have their head so far up their arses. One doctor asked me if I were challenging her medical degree with my Google degree. WTF?! I told her I am with the patient 24/7 and am the one who ensures compliance. I won’t do anything that I don’t understand, and I’m sorry I don’t have some type of a medical degree.

Thanks for going against the grain.

Janet loses weight on a mainly carnivore diet

October 20, 2022 No Comments

I’ve been chubby almost all my life. I’ve lost weight but unable to keep it off. In October of 2016, at the age of 57 I had a mindset change and became motivated to be healthy enough to enjoy my future grandkids. Family history was not good; my father died in his sleep at 61 (clogged arteries) and mother died of heart attack at 78. My oldest brother had double bypass at 60 and is now on dialysis. My other three brothers were on medicines to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. One of them has since died of multiple Myeloma. Another brother has adopted a low carbohydrate diet and is off most meds.

My cholesterol was at 230 with A1c of 5.7. I joined Weight Watchers at 159.5 lbs. I am 4’11”. The points system was based on a low-fat diet and nothing was off limits in proper portions. It took me 18 months to reach my goal of 124 lbs. This gave me a BMI of 25. I was pleased with the loss but my cholesterol and A1c did not go down. Over the next three years I struggled to maintain 124. My husband was on the same journey as I with cholesterol of 240 and A1c of 5.8.

In September 2020 we retired and relocated to Fort Worth, Texas to be close to our daughter and son-in-law who were expecting our first grandson. We started watching several YouTube videos in which doctors, nutritionist, and others spoke about the benefits of low carb, keto, and carnivore diets as well as intermittent fasting. We became persuaded that the food pyramid was junk and could be the cause of metabolic syndrome. Our annual labs showed no change in our cholesterol or A1c. Statins were recommended but we both rejected this option.

In November 2021 we started a low carb diet and intermittent fasting; breakfast of eggs and meat at 11am and either a large salad (with meat) or steak & steamed vegetables at 4pm. It was easy and I was amazed at how satisfied I felt. We had labs done after 3 months. My weight dropped 6 lbs., my A1c dropped to 5.5 but my cholesterol was 270. My doctor strongly encouraged me to take a statin. I refused and asked about other options to gauge heart health. Her answer was to take a CT heart calcium score test. My husband and I both had the test done. My score was 6 and my husband’s score was 0. These results confirmed two things for me; 1) cholesterol level is a poor indicator of heart health 2) a low carb, keto or carnivore diet is much better for me than low fat, whole grains, and seed oils.

Other benefits we experienced over the last year is better dental health, my childhood skin fungus has vanished, my husband has no more skin tags, his athletes foot issue is gone, his acid reflux cured, and his eye floaters are reduced.

Danny S’ heart is doing well on a carnivore diet

October 9, 2022 No Comments

An avid athlete, firefighter Danny Smith would work out twice—sometimes even three times—a day. In 2016, after a few bouts of what he thought was gastritis, he went to the hospital on a day he was experiencing particularly acute symptoms. He was admitted right away, and while the nurse was asking him about the situation, Danny passed out. The next thing he remembers is being jolted awake by an electric shock to the chest. Looking up at a room now full of people, he realized he had just been defibrillated. His heart had stopped for seven whole minutes. The doctor informed him that he had suffered a major heart attack at only 39 years old.

Diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia, Danny suspected another culprit as well—his diet. It was most certainly a wake-up call, and he was willing to do or try anything to make sure it didn’t happen again. Encountering only vague dietary advice from his primary doctor, he decided to give veganism a try. It lasted only a year—Danny never feeling well due to achey joints and a lack of energy—and culminated in the painful tearing of his ACL.

As he started doing research on his own, Danny observed that the guys at the firehouse on the keto diet were looking and feeling pretty good, so he jumped on the bandwagon too. As he continued searching for answers, he kept seeing carnivore pop up, and since he gravitated towards meat while eating keto anyway, he decided to take the plunge and give it a try. “I went on the carnivore diet, I was like—‘I’m never looking back. I feel so great.’ Everything was getting better!”

Now 45, Danny has been doing carnivore for two years and feels fantastic. His cholesterol numbers are all in a healthy range, he enjoys better stamina and muscle gains at the gym, and his heart doctor says he’s in such great shape that he only needs a yearly checkup. His diet consists mostly of beef, with Danny regularly enjoying ribeye steaks, beef ribs, burgers, bacon, eggs and the occasional piece of cheese. He was also able to shed some extra weight he had been carrying around—dropping from 245 pounds to a healthy 180 pounds.

On top of all of this, Danny has experienced extraordinary mental health benefits as well. The shock of the heart attack left Danny reeling with PTSD and major depression, so he started seeing a therapist. “Two weeks into the carnivore diet, I told my therapist, ‘I don’t think I need you anymore, because I’m not thinking the same way as I was.’ And I didn’t need him anymore—and that was only 2 weeks into the diet! The depression really got better—the PTSD…was totally gone.”

Now, Danny enjoy plenty of energy to train, spend time with his family, and play the bagpipes at firefighter events. He may enjoy the odd piece of cake at his children’s birthday parties, or an occasional beer with friends, but he says he really doesn’t crave those things anymore—and is happy to share his story with the hopes that it will help others too.
