I love being a carnivore

@redredred none!

So no vitamin C, no fiber, and few if any micronutrients. @angoranimi

@redredred correct about no fiber. Fiber hurts my body and I don't need to be eating any of that. Sometimes I take a supplement that is zinc and vitamin C, like if there's illness going around, but I have done fine without that it's not necessary or anything. I've been doing this long-term, my chronic vitamin C and D deficiencies as well as my chronic low potassium levels actually resolved after going carnivore, rather than getting worse like some people said it would. The theory is that certain things like vitamin C and potassium are used up heavily in carbohydrate metabolism, so because I don't eat any carbohydrates, my body uses up much less now and therefore requires much less of certain nutrients like the ones I just mentioned. Meat actually has a lot more micronutrients than people realize though, and I also eat organ meats which are super rich in nutrients, I think people also fail to consider that many carnivores do also eat the animals organs and this is what ancient hunters did too. It's a really important source of nutrition and probably why carnivore diet works just fine without any of the fruits, veggies or grains people these days mistakenly think we need to be eating. If this diet caused nutritional deficiencies, I would have seen my levels get worse over these past couple of years. But instead they were all messed up before and fixed themselves on this diet, and I feel a million times better too compared to before eating this way I felt horrible, and I feel horrible any time I slip up now and eat junk. So much inflammation and autoimmune flare immediately

@angoranimi You’re not yet thirty . You can do anything you want at your age but when you get older you’ll find that “all things in moderation” is excellent advice. Grains, fruits and vegetables are good for everyone. Not every grain or every fruit or every vegetable certainly but there’s a mix that works for you. You’ll see.

@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 👍🏼🤣
