Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it’s good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.
I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.
Please tell me how I am the asshole :)
You said you were triggered in another comment, do you want to talk about why I don’t think this is dangerous and in fact very beneficial for humanity?
trigger warning nutrition
The single biggest cause of metabolic disease is elevated carbohydrate consumption. Carnivore by virtue of having no carbohydrates is the single fastest way for metabolically unwell people to realize better metabolic health. This is a strict form of a ketogenic diet, which reduces blood sugar, brings down insulin levels - resolving many of the metabolic chronic diseases killing millions - hyper tension, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease… all of these are rooted in poor metabolic health.
Keeping insulin levels low is the key to improving the health of humanity. There are a few approaches here - from whole foods, single ingredient foods, to ketogenic (carnivore being a subset).
They only major difference between Keto and carnivore is the removal of plants, which reduces the carbohydrate load, simplifies the food plan - makes it easier to maintain. Some people have plant allergies, sensitivities - such as gluten sensitivity, allergies, ibs, chrones, etc. Carnivore reduces gut inflammation for these people.
Is Carnivore necessary for great health? No. Does Carnivore cause bad health? No. Carnivore can be part of a very strong health plan.
Carnivores on the whole are not militant, we don’t generally get bothered by what other people eat. For myself I just care about informed decisions for those in my life. I present the best data I have, and its up to them to make their own choices, which I respect.
I would agree with you if I thought the most important aspect of a healthy diet were convenience or efficiency.
The aspects I am concerned about are length and quality of life. I do not believe studies show that a carnivore diet like you propose would be beneficial for either of those things.
I accept that not everyone will thrive on the same diet but ideally I would expect people to choose the best options that optimize for long term health.
The type of diet you recommend would only be optimal for those who do care about speed and efficiency of a diet, like those who are dangerously overweight, and even in those cases it wouldnt be the recommended diet long term once the danger is mitigated.
This is also what I value
There is a overwhelming amount of data on ketogenic interventions succeeding beyond compare here. Carnivore is a type of Ketogenic metabolism. Here is my favorite medical textbook on the subject Ketogenic : The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health it’s on all the pirate sites.
We simply differ on what we think is optimal.
No, we differ on what we thing is good to share with other people or not. I would not share the stuff you are even if I agreed with it, because it is not proven science and I would be concerned about causing harm to others by jumping to conclusions or mid interpreting studies, as I saw you do multiple times in response to another poster.
I think you are overconfident, ego-driven, and controlling in the way you handle your communities. If they were bigger and, frankly, more believable, I’d care more about the possible harm you could cause.
Essentially I think you are an impotent dictator, and I find that to be ridiculous so I’m making fun of it.
