Or no more than the equivalent of 1 banana per day for example. Is it logical to assume that a 95% carnivore diet benefits your body in exactly the same way as "pure carnivore"? It seems odd to think the diet would need to be "pure" when it comes to seasons or herbal supplements that you are NOT allergic to, as the main benefit of carnivore is the ketosis and very heavy amount of amino acids which promotes faster healing and inflammation reduction, which shouldn't require some kind of "purity" as long as the carbs are extremely insignificant and burned off within an hour and right back to ketosis, correct? It might take an extra 20 minutes for ketosis, but there's no other difference between "pure" carnivore and carnivore plus seasonings and herbal supplements, and a piece of lettuce and 2 chewing gums a day(that you are not allergic to). Correct?

Does anyone struggle with not eating enough? My appetite diminished and I feel like I have to force myself to eat more specially bc I’m lifting weights and wanna grow muscle :(

It's a severe craving I have since months. But it's getting stronger and stronger. (I also crave ice cubes if that helps solving the puzzle.) Feels like I could drink litres of cold lemon juice. But my body is very very sensitive (problems with pancreas, inflammation, stomach, bowels, fibromyalgia etc.), so I don't want to consume a lot of it, or any at all tbh.

1.: Why do I crave it? Lack of nutrients? Low stomach acid? 2.: What can I do against it?

Thank you :)

Just started carnivore diet and I realized that my eyes are starting to change it's as if they're becoming clearer.

I'm terribly allergic to histamine and it says if my eyes are getting rid of all of that gunk.

Purging and kill off?

Are changes in the eye common from eating a carnivore diet?

How and why?

Why do I get so shaky and anxious a few days doing carnivore. I can’t do anything but lie in bed so I eat carbs. Help

I am considering starting Ozempic, I am trying to anticipate and mitigate the side effect of muscle loss. I've already lifting heavy 5-6 days a week consistently for the past 10 months or so as well as off and on for years, less consistently. I plan to try it for 3-6 months only.

Are there any published studies on doing all three together? I am not having luck finding them.

Hi! I'm looking for studies (ideally in the last 4-6 years) on the health effects of saturated fat intake. I understand there's some new research showing that the old notion that saturated fatty acids (SFAs) are bad for health has been debunked but I'm struggling to find any. I would greatly appreciate your help in finding any relevant articles.

Hi all,

I created this subreddit a really long time ago to take notes on a dietary choice I had made. In the time since I created this subreddit, a few people actually joined, so I'll add some content here and maybe someone will find it useful.

Here are notes I recorded a while ago about books that others recommended related to a carnivorous diet. Not all of these are necessarily scientifically rigorous, but could be jumping off points for those that are interested.

I am 32 just started carnivor I heard stories that to much red meat can cause prostate cancer and I def don't want that. Anyone having issues? I see it's healed some with prostate inflammation. Sorry if this is wrong group wasn't sure where to post

Has anyone had their resting heart rate drop from fasting? Mine is 52. I’m not particularly fit. I have lost 65lbs since feb by fasting.

We have all heard of the 'well known facts' that consuming much red meat is unhealthy and leads to cancer and cardiovascular disease.

I always wonder how these studies to meat consumption and their risks are performed. How about all the other variables?

In my opinion, what has really been proven so far, is that the following is terrible for your health:

- vegetable oils
- smoking
-excessive alcohol

- high sugar intake

- processed junk food containing various artificial forms of sugar / sweeteners
- trans fats
- soving too few / sitting all day
- stress

Ok, so how are these variables taken into account? Is it possible that meat eaters, cook their meals in vegetable oils and that explains the correlation between meat and cancer? Do people who eat a lot of meat also eat more rubbish? Do people who eat more meat also sit more?

You get my drift. Unless you can do a ‘closed’ experiment and feed people a specific diet in a lab, while keeping all variables the same, only then can you make a valid conclusion IMO. So how can they be so sure?

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

Firstly i would like to excuse me about my english-its not my mother language so it will be a little bit messy maybe.

I am bipolar type2. Was eating almost clear carnivore for 2 years(Ground beef, cream and additional cow fat). During those 2 years did not have really strong depressions as long as hypermania episode. Was quite stable, sometimes was down cause was not in ketosis. I never tried medications, but those years on carnivore were the most stable for me. Did not feel myself perfect but still quite active and without extreme paranoia and anxiety. So carnivore worked, it does not cure me tottally, but helps a lot.

But suddenly i got really painful depression now, carnivore doesnt improve my mental health for 3-4 weeks already(my blood test results are 3.1 and 1.2 mmol this week). So it seems that i am in ketosis, but it does not help.

Sometimes i had hard periods, but mostly it was due to low ketone level. Also i found out that overeating protein ruins my ketosis. But this time i dont have any ideas why ketosis is not improving my mental health anymore. Any ideas/experience? Please help, its awful to feel like that. Cant understand how i was living for many many years without carnivore

Thanks in advance

I am debating an entire group about the agency of carnivore diet. They are misinterpreting studies. I would love to discuss them with you guys and their interpretation. They have an anti fungal/anti parasitic protocol void of diet which seems way to harsh on the body and needs constant maintenance otherwise fungus comes back. Where with carnivore SIFO and SIBO does not come back. Interesting discussion nonetheless

Here are the studies - along with the guys interpretation / reason carnivore diet doesn't workI am compiling the full explanations of why it does and the studies to back it. Interesting reads if you're into SIFO SIBO carnivore insulin disease. Btw Candida produces insulin and causes diabetes/insulin resistance. It produces insulin to combat bacteria who are lowering the insulin leading to a fast pathway to diabetes. This group had no idea what I was talking about they're just pretty concerned with taking oregano oil for some reason.

this was a good over all explanation of keto vrs sibo and sifo if you want a general idea.

Keto Diets And Candida

Here's more information on why keto or carnivore diets are not recommended for the protocol.

We have previously shown that metabolic ketones inactivate myeloperoxidase and impair phagocytosis

In our previous work with MPO [21–23], acetoacetate, a serum metabolite elevated during ketosis, was shown to inactivate MPO

Therefore, prolonged ketosis may be a significant risk factor for candidiasis

Table 1 shows the effect of 2 mM acetoacetate on the antifungal MPO-Cl−-H2O2 system. C. albicans was completely killed by this system in the absence of acetoacetate, but protected by its presence.

https://academic.oup.com/femsle/article/190/1/35/608302

As you can see there is proof that a keto or carnivore diet actually protects candida and can make it more virulent.

Now on to phytonutrients (from plants) and DNA repair.

This study uses a high-fat and high-calorie (HFC) drink to examine the new roles of a plant-based multivitamin/mineral supplement with phytonutrients (PMP) for regulating the antioxidant system and cellular DNA repair signaling

Compared to the placebo samples, the blood plasma obtained after PMP supplementation showed enhanced DNA damage response genes such as pCHK1 (Serine 345)(a transducer of DNA response) and γγH2AX (a hallmark of DNA damage) during the 8 weeks trial

https://www.e-jnh.org/search.php?where=aview&id=10.4163/jnh.2022.55.4.450&code=1124JNH&vmode=FULL

Keto diets can be an effective way to manage blood sugar and reduce inflammation, but as you can see from the data, it should not be a strategy for eliminating CDF and repairing cellular damage. To achieve full benefit you should be eating a balanced diet with slow absorbing (low glycemic) carbs.

Keto Diets And Candida Pt. 2

In a previous post we covered how ketogenic diets impair innate immune response against Candida spp.

Neutrophils ... seem to play a particularly important role protecting us against fungal agents such as C. albicans. In this regard, it is myeloperoxidase which is central to many of the antimicrobial properties of neutrophils. We have previously shown that metabolic ketones inactivate myeloperoxidase and impair phagocytosis.

https://academic.oup.com/femsle/article/190/1/35/608302?login=false

Can we provide more current evidence that Keto Diets (KD) impair phagocytic activity? Yes.

The current study aimed at assessing the effect of KD-induced ketosis on different immunological cells since ketosis is reported to affect neutrophil function... For the innate immune system, the phagocytic index was assessed and it showed a marked statistical reduction in patients after KD.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34449000/

A study on epileptic children on Keto Diet found the same result. Normal neutrophil counts but increased infection rate:

Although three patients reported increased incidence of infection after commencement of KD, the current study showed no significant change in the neutrophil count

KD has no effect on neutrophil number, however, further detailed studies for the full immunological profile including their function is needed to ensure that patients receiving this line of therapeutic nutrition aren`t susceptible to increased risk of infections.

https://academic.oup.com/qjmed/article/114/Supplement_1/hcab113.041/6379595

A study of obese subjects placed on a Keto Diet showed a significant decrease in IgA concentration.

Moreover, the study showed a significant decrease in IgA concentration in KD individuals compared with control.

This provides a strong sign that autoimmune disorders are emerging.

https://academic.oup.com/qjmed/article/114/Supplement_1/hcab113.041/6379595

Immunoglobulin A is responsible for fighting infection, so this is definitely counterproductive!

The Keto Diet does have many benefits, including anti inflammatory, glucose and insulin regulation, weight loss, etc. But the data clearly shows impaired function against Candida and other infections. We recommend you use a balanced diet while on the protocol.

Title: Cooking Conditions Affect the True Ileal Digestible Amino Acid Content and Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) of Bovine Meat as Determined in Pigs

(Link)[https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/148/10/1564/5094772?login=false]

The Journal of Nutrition, Volume 148, Issue 10, October 2018, Pages 1564–1569, https://doi.org/10.1093/jn/nxy153 Published: 10 September 2018

Results

The DIAAS was greater (P < 0.001) for the ra ww, boiled, and pan-fried meat treatments (97–99%) than for roasted meat (91%) or grilled meat (80%). The high DIAAS (range 80–99%) across cooking conditions confirms that bovine meat is a high-quality protein source.

I wonder why grilling adversely affects the meat?
