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?
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?
It was about three years ago. I don't remember.
But if so, lesson learned.
