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?
Personal anecdotes.
5 months. Strict carnivore, little to no exercise. Lost 60lbs(8pts-ish off BMI) Lost 12 inches around the waist. Reversed pre diabetes. Reversed high blood pressure. Cholesterol on the slightly high side. Biggest change though is the mental clarity and the ability to focus that comes with this diet. Started lifting weights, muscles just appear like magic. The mental focus allowed me to go 120% at the workouts where i would give up easily before.
So you're gaining muscle mass without carbs? Are you in complete ketosis then? I heard that feels awful. True?
Yes, due to high protein consumption, gaining muscle mass is really easy as long as you work them hard enough.
Didnt feel much difference being in ketosis. Just that i dont get strong hunger pangs anymore.
