I love being a carnivore

@Howudoin it's very much legitimate. She's telling the truth. I have been on this diet.

@Howudoin I am legit! I'd honestly credit this diet with saving my life, I don't think I would still be here right now without it

@angoranimi thank you, that's really great! Without meat, I'd be in a hospital with them telling me all sorts of bizarre things

@PoeticPlay thank you!

@DailyFlash I did too! I lost 50 pounds and have kept it all off, so I have no extra weight at all anymore

@angoranimi it's the simplest way of eating no carbs.

@DailyFlash yes I agree! It's so silly to me when people say "eat in moderation" to stay healthy and prevent disease. Rather than making the effort to figure out how many chocolate-covered almonds I can eat before I start to feel like crap, why not simply stop eating anything that makes me feel that way at all? I have never felt badly after eating a nice big steak. If I eat one pound of fresh meat, I feel fantastic. Sit down and eat one whole pound of literally anything else? Likely going to feel terrible for the next day or two. It also gets rid of the stress of cooking/meal planning, I don't have to spend time and money prepping whole recipes, just cooking meat is very straightforward and easy!

@LadyGrace thank you I doubt I'd be able to do it though....I'm struggling to gain weight

@Lilymoon eating carnivore sounding too difficult to you personally doesn't make other people's experiences with it false though! It definitely is a huge lifestyle change that many people just aren't interested in making because other foods do taste really good lol. Nobody has to do anything they don't want to, I'm just sharing my experience. For me, I do not have an option to eat other things because my physical health deteriorates way too much for it to be worth it at all. If you're struggling to gain weight I would suggest combining carbs/sugar with fat together in your meals! Carbohydrates (which all break down into sugar) is what triggers the body to store the nutrients you're eating as fat, and when you add actual fat to the mix too, you get additional weight gain, this is the reasoning behind why eating fast food causes people to gain weight- they formulate it specifically to have that addictive, heavy combination of fat and carbohydrates. Without the addition of carbs to trigger storage, fat will be used as energy on the spot instead in the form of ketones rather than being stored as weight gain. Good luck and I hope you can get to the healthy weight you're aiming for!

@angoranimi youve done your research

@angoranimi Yeah I get what you're saying.

@SinlessOnslaught I've always loved animals myself. Always have kept at least one pet. I think I would really have a hard time hunting or raising my own food though. I believe the most ethical and humane way is to raise kill and eat your own livestock, the animals have the best and healthiest lives possible that way, MUCH more ethical compared to standard factory farming. But I think I would definitely get attached to the animals I raise, I would end up seeing them as pets and not want to eat them. So I'm very thankful to butchers for doing the job for me! Lol

@angoranimi 💯

@angoranimi you should look into Wim Hof!

@Goodluckwiththat thanks I will!

@Goodluckwiththat I do wim hof, it's very useful

@redredred unfortunately that's not true for me. I've lived my whole life in this body, I've had autoimmune diseases my entire life, and the only thing that keeps me healthy, free of inflammation and chronic pain is carnivore diet. I become physically disabled and in more pain worse and worse the longer I go eating things that aren't meat. Trust me, I've spent more time than you can imagine figuring out what exactly does and doesn't cause me to react lol. It's ALL carbohydrates, plus certain proteins like the ones in dairy, soy, grains, etc. It's obviously some sort of metabolic/autoimmune syndrome, I was born this way, and will always be like this. If I had the choice to eat other things I obviously would, I love the taste of dairy and all these other foods I can't have, but it's legit not an option for me. It destroys my body and brain. My body cannot effectively use glucose as a fuel and relies on ketones to function properly. Grains, fruits and vegetables are NOT good for everyone. Grains are actually not good for anybody at all, unless you're severely underweight and need to gain quickly. That's the entire purpose of grain, as a fattener for livestock. Grains are inflammatory, manmade and not a real food. Fruits and vegetables may have some nutritional benefit for some people but it's definitely very overstated, they're not nearly as nutritionally important as they have everyone believing, they are not a requirement to survive and thrive at all if you're eating an appropriate meat diet which is the most nutritionally superior way of eating. I'm nowhere near the only person out there like this, I have come across thousands of other people online who are just like me, who have no choice but to eat a carnivore diet because of aggressive autoimmune diseases that don't respond to anything else.

I disagree with the "everything in moderation" to be healthy saying. Eating in moderation will lead to a moderate amount of chronic disease. I feel it does not make any sense to spend the time and effort figuring out how many chocolate covered almonds I can eat before I start to feel like crap. If something makes you feel bad in ANY amount, it's not meant to be ingested at all. I have never in my life felt badly after eating a pound of steak or other meat, but if I ate a pound of literally anything else I'd feel super sick for the rest of the day, so would many other people. Just some food for thought

@angoranimi you’ll see

@redredred okay 👍🏼🤣

@soar2newhighs Rare steak is healthy, it has more than just protein

@ViciDraco it sure does raise cholesterol but my understanding is that carnivores don't build arterial plaques from the high cholesterol levels, that only happens in people with insulin resistance and inflammation. My cholesterol stays 250-300 and when they do my CT scans there are no plaques in my arteries. I have heard the same from many long-term carnivores their cholesterol has been high for years or even decades because that's the normal biological response to only eating meat, your cholesterol level WILL always be higher because you're ingesting way more of it than before, but that's not necessarily harmful for everyone, and when they get CT scans there are no plaques in their arteries either. I have yet to find a single person who has developed heart disease or any other illness from following this diet, the only thing that seems to happen medically is changed in lipid panel results but the changes don't appear to be harmful. Cholesterol is actually a vital nutrient for your brain and body, it's extremely important for proper brain function. There's no reason to be scared of it, people have been mislead to believe it's unhealthy when it's not

@LadyGrace I haven't seen cardiologists really changing their tunes. I've seen endocrinologists and people who work with insulin resistance and diabetes suggesting it may be beneficial though.

@ViciDraco the new cardiologist I just met last week who is taking over monitoring my heart failure, has told me to remain on this diet if it is what helps me, because I live in this body and know best what helps and what hurts it. I think it confused him, but I'm glad he at least understands that my experience is real instead of dismissing it like some other doctors try to. Going back onto carnivore diet brought my heart failure enzyme BNP down by 126 points in less than a month and has allowed my condition to become actually manageable when the furosemide medication alone wasn't controlling my symptoms. I wasn't even able to walk up a flight of stairs a few weeks ago or stand up while showering, but the other day I was walking around carrying my 25 pound baby for quite a while I was really surprised how long I was able to keep it up!

@C11111111111111 looks delicious!

@Moneyonmymind luckily, cholesterol becoming higher on a carnivore diet is not dangerous to the health. I will be just fine 😊 but even if higher cholesterol was a risk for me, I would still choose to eat this way anyways, due to the many amazing health benefits it's had for me. I would gladly choose keeping my autoimmune diseases in remission any day even if there was a higher risk of having a heart attack years into the future

@angoranimi I actually want high cholesterol. I just don't want high cholesterol with high blood insulin levels.

@SatanBurger why

@TylertTheGoalie Lol well you could just talk to her without telling her it's BS. Maybe she can glance at those channels I mentioned. Who knows.

@TylertTheGoalie I should also mention that she isn't necessarily full of bs, people just have been indoctrinated to believe you have to have them or you'll die. You can have veggies sure, you just don't need them there's a difference.
