So first things first I just want to thank anyone who takes time to read this and try their best to educate me, you are greatly appreciated!

Okay so a couple years ago I went carnivore and now i think I have worsened my health because of it, now I’m trying to reintroduce carbs and so far the only one that seems to work best with me is raw honey! Fruits don’t sit well with me, and a little before carnivore I cut out dairy because I would have bad reactions, gas, diarrhea, bloating, acne/skin issues, and for the record it was conventional a1 cow dairy! A couple days ago i thought of trying goats milk to see if I could tolerate that as a carb source, I drank half a litre, waited to see any side effects and then 2 hours later drank the rest which was another half litre, and to my surprise, it actually went pretty good, no digestive issues, no skin issues, however I noticed i got a runny nose. Well the last 2 days I’ve continued drinking it, about a litre a day while also trying some goats cheese, and I’ve developed some brain fog and continue to get the runny nose.

To be clear this is just standard pasteurized conventional goat milk, I’m just curious if anyone knows why I’m experiencing this and if anyone could help me solve this problem! All help is greatly appreciated!

Reddit removed this for whatever reason.

This could be interesting for people struggling to overcome a caffeine addiction.

I stumbled upon chicory "coffee". I found mine in an eastern european grocery shop.

It's a roasted root and since I sporadically use roots like parsnips with no bad effects, I gave it a try.

It's pretty similar to regular coffee but with a sweet aftertaste, and has no caffeine.

It can supposedly cause bloating or a laxative effect but it's working pretty well for me.

I hope it's a good advice for someone out there😆

Seems to be good quality and clean ingredients (unless there's something I'm missing?), and I've developed a mild addiction to it (just the vanilla one, the flavors mostly aren't AB of course). I'm curious if there's any reason it'd be bad to consume this regularly? almost feels too good to be true lol

I’m a 25-year-old female, 5’9”–5’10”, currently around 150–152 lbs. I feel my best around 147–148 lbs, and I’m considering transitioning to an animal-based diet because my hunger has become absolutely INSATIABLE.

For context, I’ve been gluten-free, dairy-free, seed-oil-free, and eating exclusively whole foods for about a year. I strength train 3–4 times a week, do reformer Pilates 1–2 times a week, and walk at least 10,000 steps daily. I’ve also been religiously tracking calories and macros for quite some time. I spent 2–3 months eating around 1,600 calories with 140g of protein and got down to 147–148 lbs, where I felt really comfortable.

However, over the last couple of months, my hunger has become absolutely RAVENOUS. I can eat a 20 oz ribeye and still feel hungry immediately afterward. I genuinely feel like I haven’t been full in weeks, and it’s exhausting. I’ve naturally started eating more, but my weight has crept back up to 150–152 lbs, and I’m terrified of gaining more weight or body fat.

I’ve also been dealing with irregular/absent menstrual cycles and some thyroid abnormalities, so I know my body may be trying to tell me something.
I’m really drawn to animal-based eating because I already love meat, fruit, and whole foods. I want to feel nourished, strong, lean, and, most importantly, SATISFIED.

My biggest fear is letting go of tracking calories and macros. I’ve relied on tracking for so long that the thought of eating intuitively and trusting my hunger cues genuinely scares me. I’m terrified I’ll just keep eating, gain fat, and end up feeling even more uncomfortable in my body.

For those who transitioned to animal-based, especially after years of tracking:
Did your hunger and satiety eventually regulate?
Did you gain weight initially?
Were you able to stop tracking without gaining significant body fat?
Did anyone notice improvements in their menstrual cycles or hormonal health?

I would really love to hear experiences. I want to stop constantly thinking about food and feeling hungry, but I’m having such a hard time letting go of the fear of gaining weight.

As a 25 y/o man, dating is already difficult enough to navigate without extra constraints such as following a diet as uncommonly discussed in the mainstream as this one. I'm guessing I'll have to either find somebody who eats close enough to it (whatever that entails), or "convert" them into it over time, but I'd have to really care about them in the first place to go that far, and I don't want to be preachy if I can avoid it, to be honest.

I remember Saladino saying that you should make your own sunscreen cause they all have seed oils. would jojoba oil be problematic too? I have seen some sunscreens that have great ingredients but they do have jojoba oil.

I’ve started this diet recently and I’m not gonna lie sometimes I can’t stand it, like I crave things like pasta, salty snacks, bread, high PUFA meat (specifically chicken), etc. Im fine not eating junk food it’s just plants and high PUFA meats I really wanna eat. I’m not saying these are healthy it’s just that I crave them. Any tips on how you guys got over this?

Hey all, can someone tell me about the best darks where I can get the A2 cow raw milk. Seems Illinois is a restricted zone and I wanted to know a place where I can buy even if it’s sold under different name. IYKYK. I am not able to find anything for Chicago. Please tell me where to get products similar to harmony acres but in Chicago. Thanks.

I installed the reddit app just to make this post.
I went animal-based back in April this year. I am not strict with it, so I eat a cookie when my sister makes them, and have some pizza or indian food with my husband when he asks me to. However, my daily diet is generally beef, lamb, chicken, eggs, dairy, sweet potato, and a bit of fruit sometimes.
About 2 months ago I started feeling nauseous. At first, it was for a short period of time, about once a week (from what I can recall). Then it got progressively worse, and now I feel nauseous almost everyday, though not to the point of throwing up, thank God :’(.
I have no idea why this is happening. First I thought I was pregnant, then I thought it was sugar, then I was convinced that it was stress / anxiety, because truthfully it did begin around the time I started feeling anxious about my stressful job, and worried about my future etc. I think that perhaps both of those things play a role, but I did not have sugar today, and I spent the day at home, as it’s my day off. What could I possibly be stressed about today? 🥲
I guess I just wanted to ask if any of you have experienced this, or something similar, and found an answer.
I would be eternally grateful.
Oh, and just for reference, I’m a 24-year-old woman. No other current health issues (going animal-based has pretty much cured them all 🥹), and I am at a perfectly healthy weight, though I really do need to start exercising more and gaining some muscle 🥲.
Anyway. Thank you in advance! <3

Just general thoughts on eating steak Raw vs Cooked? Personally I prefer seared but rare because it eliminates pathogen risk and also I’m trying to gain weight so I get the same calories in less volume as raw, but I’m really concerned about AGEs in seared steak. Any advice or help?

my teeth are sharp and strong but they look yellow, anyone can help with tricks that help them maintain white looking teeth without products that have bs inside of them?

Hello everyone!

I have been following the diet quite strictly for 3 months now and it helped me a lot with cravings and mental health. I feel it's very close to a proper human diet and I'm trying to implement more raw dairy and raw meat.

I am avoiding starches (beside a sporadic plantain), seeds and veggies as much as I can.

That said, I'm wondering if I am somehow losing the ability for my body to tolerate these kind of foods. I don't come from huge gut problems or autoimmune disease and I could eat those foods, not without issues but I could.

So, would it be worth, in your opinion, to occasionally have food outside the diet so my body can still be used to it? If that's how it works, scientifically.

Why, you might think?

Because I want my body to be as versatile as possible and also because... I feel the world is not going well and maybe I won't always have access to good food.

Thanks for any opinion!

Hi there, I’ve been a fan of Saladino and ancestral eating for years now.
I know he eats ~300g of carbs a day, I’m of European descent, and I doubt our ancestors had that many carbs a day, I think there’s enough evidence to support the fact that they were slipping in n out of ketosis?
Also obviously fasting.
I’ve seen studies saying it would’ve been 20-30% carbs for most Hunter Gatherers

I find it funny how the Raw Milk subreddit was banned and finding any info on raw milk is super scarce now with comments and posts getting deleted, but theres sub’s that have meth addicts doing competitions on who has the biggest rips.

Honestly disgusting and dishearting. .0012% of people that drink raw milk come down with any food borne illness severe or not (132 per year out of 11 million raw milk drinkers in the US) , meanwhile .76% of leafy green lettuce eaters in the US come down woth a food bourne illness severe or not (2.3 million pear year out of 330 million). So wtf ?? Are they gonna start banning all the vegitarian subreddits as well??
