  Since posting this story, 60 Minutes Australia has changed the title of this video 3 times. From “Carnivore diet and other wellness myths busted” to “Is your diet making you sick” and as of this post, “Extreme diets and health trends people are swearing by”. <br><br>I looked through about 50 top comments on this story, all of which from what I could tell, we’re talking about the carnivore diet in a positive light. Calling it a “myth” was a misstep obviously. Also the first title appeared to focus mainly on the carnivore diet. Carnivore doesn’t get talked about until the 12 minute mark and is covered for less than 5 minutes in a 28 minute story. I believe every lifestyle, even the ones I believe in, are deserving of scrutiny. However I believe they did a poor job of covering this lifestyle that was lumped in with vagina scented candles, IV drips and social media moguls who over price supplements. I understand it’s hard to cover carnivore in less than 5 minutes but the framing of the story wasn’t done well. You don’t need to buy anything extra to be carnivore other than changing your foods purchases. If anyone tells you so that is misleading.

  Who was the only person not trying to sell something. Didn’t denigrate anybody else to get his point across and an obviously very healthy individual.

  The Carnivores know Dr. Chaffee is correct and I&apos;m sure after seeing this a lot of people will research him more. &nbsp;Dr. Chaffee has helped thousands of people, including me!

  I love Dr.Anthony Chaffee❤ I&apos;m so thankful I found a honest doctor like him. I have tried many diets in my life, and nothing has made me feel as good as carnivore.

  The government recommended diet only made me sick. Carnivore is not a fad. I spent decades chasing down health issues. Between functional medicine and eating animals, I feel half my age and my medical issues are going away. I’ve only been doing this for 2 and a half months and look forward to more healing. How I feel is all the proof I need.

  I&apos;ve been carnivore for 2 years. My dental hygenist marvels at how healthy my gums look. My eye doctor marvelled at how good my eyes looked and said to &quot;keep doing what you&apos;re doing.&quot; I can go 5,6,7 hours before needing to eat again, no snacks needed. I walk to the top of a local hill every day without having to stop. (81yrs). I&apos;ve tried vegetables many times but for me beef works the best. (As a kid I always shoved the vegetable to the top of my plate farther away from sight and smell).

  I think the biggest issue is ultra processed foods including seed oils. &nbsp;Additionally, overloading the body with carbs. &nbsp;Our body can only process about 100 grams of a carbs day.

  I cannot recommend the carnivore diet enough. I get comments all the time, people telling me I &apos;lack nutrition by just eating meat&apos; but I have stopped caring and now think to myself &apos;come see me in 10 years when your health issues are piling up and I look and feel half my age&apos;. I am forty years old and I feel better than I did when I was 25. Been on the carnivore diet for about two years now. My IBS is gone, my hair and nails grow like crazy and my anxiety levels have dropped severely.<br><br>This. Thing. Works.<br><br>Just give it a try, if only for a month. Don&apos;t let people scare you off.

  ok, for 13 years, I watched my husband go from doctor to doctor to medication to remedy and nothing helped. He had so many different issues and could barely walk. He questioned why he was staying alive almost every day. About 6 months ago, he went on the carnivore diet and in that period of time has lost 80 lbs, no longer has sleep apnea, sleeps well at night, has energy, an even-keeled emotional life and is finally himself. I don&apos;t know if plants want to kill you or not, but I can definitely say that at least for him, carnivore diet is not a fad or trend, it literally saved his life.

  The carnivore diet healed my crippling anxiety in 2 weeks. Also severe bloating gone completely and my skin is glowing! Barely use makeup anymore. It’s no longer a diet to me but a lifestyle.
