I’ve see a few people who believe meat is the most healthy food to eat. For example the carnivore diet which even goes the complete opposite of what we think about veggies. One thing is for certain, we certainly didn’t eat processed wheat until the industrial revolution, thus, our bodies aren’t used to eating it.
I want real data on the health aspects of meat and fats. Do they really cause high cholesterol? What clogs arteries?
Edit; Any recommended books?
Yeah, inverting the pyramid is not really a good choice of words. Dumping it in the garbage is better.
Get 70% of calories from fat, 30% from protein. Never diet or be hungry or fat ever again. Carbs are non-essential and harmful.
Started carnivore around October. Completely made me look at food differently. And exactly like you said, carbs are non essential. I've never felt mentally or physically better in my life.
Lost 55 lbs from 235 to 185 and just weighed today and was still 185 AND blood pressure was lower also...
AND I AT EGGS/BACON/MEATS/VEGGIES/NO PROCESSED CRAP!!!
Fantastic job fren!! I was stuck at 200 for the longest time. 2 weeks after diet ive been at 185 too (my ideal weight for my height) and haven't stayed squarely at 185 too. Keep it up!!
I would do carnivore but i don't want to lose weight. From what I understand carbs are essential to gain muscle?
How was the first week on it? Did you get carb withdrawal?
One gets used to it...I filled up on NATURAL PROTEIN...eggs, bacon AND NO BUTTER/TOAST/COFFEE w/SUGAR/WHEAT FREE STUFF...AND TONS OF SALADS...AND OF COURSE--->WORKING OUT!!!
Keeping the pie-hole full requires MORE SELF-DISCIPLINE than they realize but it was worth. When I give platelets and/or plasma my RESTING HR = 118-120/67-77 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😎😎😎😎😎
Correct. There are essential fatty acids (fats) and essential amino acids (proteins). There is no such thing as essential carbohydrates.
Fiber?
Interesting question. I had been taking 5 FiberCon tablets a day for fiber. Then I went keto. They stopped working. After a couple of weeks' adjustment period (known colloquially as the "keto flu") where I wondered when I'd poop again, suddenly everything leveled out and took care of itself. As if the body realized this is how I should have been eating all along. Now I never think about fiber; however since I discovered keto-friendly low-carb bread, I get plenty of fiber that way, as well as from things like celery and nuts.
I don't NEVER eat any carbs; I don't do extremes too well. And I like nuts (you are what you eat! :) But I try to keep under an ounce of carbs (28g) a day, sort of between the 'Atkins 20' and 'Atkins 40' plans.
The last time I went carnivore, I got so constipated that I got sick, disoriented, tripped, fell and broke my ankle.
Fuck that.
Yeah, I could never eat only meat and nothing else.
Sorry you had that experience anon
From what I read that means you needed to eat more fat. Were you getting enough fat?
Probably only necessary to bulk and move the other garbage that we dont digest well. I doubt meat has a hard time down there. Most probably just gets absorbed and used
