Enjoyed your article, and I had already read Nina T’s excellent article on the same subject last week. I have been keto since 2020, and would like to lean more carnivore (or at least ketovore), but it’s very hard! We are really up against it in this society, unfortunately…
It's hard to think how to start and if it's really worthy it, healthier... but once you start you don't want go back. One of the best decisions on my life!
If someone wants to take on a carnivore diet, who am I to object? I might consider it for one week but would probably include whole-fat dairy and eggs. My biggest worry with putting plant foods aside is constipation! The Masai in Africa, who are shepherds/cattlemen, are often mentioned as being meat eaters with low rates of cardiac disease. My AI source reports they also drink a lot of milk, including fermented milk, and drink blood which could make up for the calcium problem Stefansson had, and provide a lot of other nutrients that might otherwise be missing. The source also says that they sometimes eat eggs and even plants seasonally.
Vegetables are literally to brush your intestine which damages it. This is what happened to me. Being carnivore has restored my gut, my health and I'm never constipated. Do I go to the toilet less times? Indeed but my number 2 has never been healthy than now :)
Enjoyed your article. I won’t even tell you to try carnivore for a week, I can’t even get through one whole day (close, but never quite make it). I just want to do Dr. Westman’s keto diet that I have enough trouble with, and have for the last year and a half. Still haven’t lost weight or gotten into ketosis. Very frustrating! Yet, I keep trying because I am pre-diabetic getting better though. I would enjoy knowing how it goes for you should you try, I’m sure you will report back. Really like your articles and book!
I also like a green salad with whatever meat I’m into, rib eye, being the only true meat, and of course a friends AMAZING short ribs, but I digress. Literally just green, with Kale and arugula at the top for me, plenty of olive oil (fat IS good) and usually avocado and pumpkin seed kernels. Just plain meat, sounds like it won’t kill you, but boring as hell!

I agree!

Interesting. Thanks for reading!
Interesting point about the Masai! Thanks for reading, Mary!

True! I do think I feel more satiated by meat+veg rather than just meat. But whatever works!
