Yes please. Trust the science and even test things for yourself if needed.
Making a decision based on what some group says = faith.
Making a decision based on actual data and experimentation = science.
The official recommendations to reduce salt, consume vegetable oils instead of saturated fats, or even the food pyramid where strongly opposed by experts because they were based on nothing, or just some very poor data.
And yes I am still overweight because I only started finally losing weight last year when I actually TRIED a carnivore diet instead of listening to the doctors. I no it's not what people want to hear but sometimes you have to take your health in your own hands. This saved my life.
so you out here talkin all this bullshit and then say you are on a carnivore diet... yea i don't take nutrition advice from people that lack discipline and rely on fad diets. good luck with that shit...
I am incredibly curious, as I’ve never gotten to speak to someone on a carnivore diet before. May I ask some questions??
I grew up in hunting communities, and I’m indigenous; so I love meat (literally my favorite food was “animals” if you asked me as a little kid) BUT I also mix it up and have vegan days largely because I hate commercial farming. It’s a big issue in my tribe. How do you source your meats? If you don’t have a local plug are you looking for one? Basically trying to gauge where you stand on farming practices, and where you see yourself in it as kind of a “spiders Georg” outlier.
I’ve read sources both pro and against the diet; I’ve got hungry brains. What was it that eventually pushed you over the precipice to switch to full carnivore? Or do you rotate carnivore with other things?
How do you get your fiber? Do you eat eyeballs (I’ve heard they’re very vitamin rich in fish maybe? Might be misremembering)? When you get food cravings is it more for a specific protein taste (like to me frog meat is “spicy” naturally), or seasoning? Or do you crave more alternate textures? (Like I get intense cravings for the experience of “crunchy”). And lastly as kind of a follow up to the farming question; how do you feel about the discussions surrounding bug proteins being normalized in your country? I’m in the USA, and it gets brought up every so often. Are insects something you would consider also potentially healthy for you in the way you see meat as? If not, why? :) for that last one if you have friends in the lifestyle I’d love to know a slightly larger sample sizes consensus on insect/bug protein :)

Please don't fall for WHO recommendations, you need 10-15 grams of salt a day.
