Vegetables are poison, especially the ones high in oxalates.
Consuming a spinach smoothie every morning will likely lead to kidney stones in short order.
Just two examples of this -

In reality, she quit for the same reason Hemsworth did, and that was developing kidney stones.

Fuck that, humans are omnivores. Meant to eat vegetables and meats and other shit.
Cutting out veggies because some random people may be more susceptible to kidney stones?
Fuck that. Gimme my veggies.
Oxalates are chemicals designed to protect plants from predators.
The bitter taste of spinach is supposed to be a warning to you to spit it out.
Eat your veggies if you wish.
Just realize they're poison, and some are worse than others.
If you must eat a salad, stick to romaine and/or arugula, as they are the lowest in oxalates by far.
So many people have never even heard of this and I’m so glad that their are “some” out there that have!
I lost over 30 lbs. in just 5 weeks on carnivore.
My diet was lots of burger patties and occasional steaks, scrambled eggs with milk and butter, and cheese omelettes.
Before that, I had been intermittent fasting and losing 1-2 lbs. a week. Lost about 30 lbs. doing that, eating only between noon-8PM. I still do that on carnivore but I eat extra calories on purpose some days just to challenge my metabolism and keep the insulin system working.
I occasionally eat 10-25 g of carbs a day, usually 10g (170g of Greek Yogurt and 5g of Nashville Hot Honey is 10 g of carbs).
And once a month or so, I randomly order an ice cream cone when my wife stops for something and get 100g or more of carbs in 1 sitting. I honestly feel like a kid again when that happens. Total sugar rush.
Normally very disciplined, though, and I eat a lot more steak now. Ribeyes went on sale for $5.00/lb. around Labor Day. They were Select but I didn't care at that price. Got some prime ribeyes for $16.99/lb. as well, which was an amazing deal. One of the benefits of Texas.
