It's sad that it's so resisted

This is a 1 year old archived thread on the popularity of carnivore. I found the discussion interesting, though no one was throwing studies around, one person noted the catch 22 that research can't be done on carnivore because it would be unethical to assign people to the diet because it has no research on it

I bought half a beef liver and parted it out into ~100g pieces, vac packed them and put them into the freezer, but kept 80g out to have today for lunch

I don't think I could have eaten a lot, it's so very very rich, but I expected it to taste good because it's so nutritious and wow was it good.

I fried it in a smoking hot cast iron pan for about 20 seconds each surface.

I know it's not just me but could others here comment? On meat or not.

I find often I need to exercise, I'm just itching to use my resistance training set until failure (and then, after an hour resist doing it again) or go for a bike ride - it's a half hour up hill ride from here to most places I go, and I'll ride hard to the top of that hill and see what speed I can get on the way back, just to burn off what feels like excess energy

It helps that we're right. That it can't be bad to eat what humans have eaten for 2 million years.

But 2 recent things I've looked at were studies done a few decades ago and shelved because they didn't get the "right" answer, but were recovered recently and published showing the lipid hypothesis was wrong and the cause of metabolic disorder was carbohydrates

They were suppressed in the 70s and 80s, now they are published. Dietary guidelines in Australia (one of the biggest wheat exporters) now allow low carb for treating type 2 diabetes.

I do believe we're watching a change in consensus (which as always is progressing one death at a time - perhaps it's good that the other side is committed to a metabolically dangerous path)

"You can tell when an idol is being worshiped because human beings are sacrificed" - with reference to the food epidemiological studies used to prop up the current dietary guidelines

This one's a video by a scientist trained in animal nutrition who turned the tools he used to design feed for animals onto the human food supply. It's a depressing story.

TLDW: Most food in the food supply is grain. Grain is not protein complete, specifically it lacks lysine. Practically everyone is lysine deficient. To be healthy you need at least half your food to be animal sourced.

Humans classed as obligate carnivores when? We need animal sourced food to thrive although we can get by on plants with supplementation.

Eat meat, sleep better.

I have found on zerocarb much more than low carb is sleep

I fall asleep hard and quickly. I wake 7 hours later fully awake immediately. Dreams happen, last night I had two different ones that I recalled when I woke. But as soon as I was awake I could immediately be up and doing stuff.

Alcohol messes with this in all dimensions - slower falling asleep, fuzzier wake up. It's so much better when sober. Sometimes I simply can't fall asleep because I'm too drunk.

I was surprised today that I seem to have put on some extra fat. Obviously there are pathways for protein to fat and fat to fat, but one piece of advice from the subreddit where I started was

eat fatty meat until you don't want more

I followed that, the other was for setting the fat percentage

Eat more fat if digestion is too slow (code for difficult pooing) eat less if it's too fast (loose poo)

I should be eating less fat.

I think I'll change my standard order from Scotch fillet (I think that's rib eye fillet in American) to half Scotch fillet and half something lean

Or I could exercise a lot more. They say you can't outrun a cheeseburger, you definitely can't outrun the fat in a 2 inch Scotch fillet cooked to very very blue

Christmas and New year's drinks may have also contributed either directly (is there a booze to fat pathway?) or by offsetting the food I need

It's a 1 year old study but pretty strong and highly relevant
