Another extreme diet with potentially deadly health consequences over many years and with inherent deficits rears its head. I wonder (((who))) could be behind it?
This diet blew up out of nowhere within the past few years, and naturally I'm extremely suspicious of its *intents* and who is funding this. It's practically everywhere now, and even doctors are coming out of the cracks to advertise the benefits of keto and carnivore. The same institutions who were telling us to eat nothing but grain and stuff our face with seed oils 10 years ago. What's going on here?
Yes, red meat and saturated fats are good for you. I wholeheartedly support this view. Raw milk is good for you. Raw meat is good for you if you know what you're doing.
With that out of the way though, it shouldn't be the only thing you eat. None of your ancestors ate a carnivorous diet. The tribal germanic ancestors that so many people larp as eating nothing but animal blood and raw milk or whatever ate a fuck ton of oats. Not even if they had no edible plants on hand were any of your ancestors carnivorous.
Carbs are important for hormone function. A high protein, low carb diet has been proven to fuck hormone levels the same way that a low cholesterol, low fat diet will. It's also very difficult to *maintain or gain weight* on a carnivore (or keto, for that matter) diet, because carbs are the main resource used to maintain and gain weight.
Wait a minute, I made a point earlier, didn't I? That seemed contradictory. "Not even if they had no edible plants available were they carnivorous". Seems odd, doesn't it?
Yeah, it does. Do you know what a wooly mammoth on the eurasian steppe would have had? A stomach. Full of partially digested otherwise indigestible plants. A lot of them. That starving prehistoric people would have eaten. The inuit still do this with animals that eat plants. It's a big source of nutrients. And carbs, so energy. If it were void of nutrients, they wouldn't eat it. In fact, most tribes that eat a "carnivorous" diet do this.
Proof? They've found the buildup of already digested plant slime on the insides of prehistoric teeth.
What do obligate carnivores like felines (the most carnivorous species of animals on land) do with the stomachs of animals large enough to bother with? They rip it out and throw it away. Except lions, who have to make due because of communal feeding. And small felines that hunt things to small to bother with this.
Cats are one of the only animals in nature that actually eat a meat exclusive diet. Dogs don't. Bears don't. Most "carnivorous" animals do not. Again these animals eat the slop inside of their preys stomachs. Cats dont, if they can help it. So how is it that a human is supposed to *exclusively* eat meat then? Are we as carnivorous as a tiger?
Humans would have never started farming and eating something that they couldn't eat in the first place. What happens if you feed a cat or dog a vegetarian or vegan diet? It dies. Quickly. What happens if you feed a cow meat? It dies less quickly than a cat being fed salad for sure, but eventually its metabolism will start destroying itself and it dies too. A person can live off of a vegan or carnivorous diet, but not optimally on either. Therefore humans are omnivorous. If we were obligate carnivores, all of us would have been exterminated by the agricultural revolution and we wouldn't be here discussing it.
And another thing: we can taste sweetness. If we were meant to eat exclusively meat, we would not be able to taste sugar at all. Obligate carnivores can't taste sweetness. The reason that sugar tastes good, blasts our dopamine receptors, and why we want more of it is because to a prehistoric person it was actually a very good thing as a source of quick energy and lots of calories which could be the difference between life and death (though it wouldn't be table sugar. It'd be honey or fruit or something of the like). Your brain is still on primeval mode 24/7 subconsciously, which is why it tells you that you must eat more sugar and doesn't tell you to avoid it like the plague.
I actually tried this jewish diet a few years ago and used to tout its benefits. I did it wholesomely and ate as optimally as I could. Severe weight loss, testosterone dropped from 1200 ng to 1000 ng (quite notable, i did this before and after because i read before starting that this could happen), I got weaker physically at the gym and at work. Not a fun time.
So why do so many people have benefits from this? Answer: because they ate goyslop before and stopped eating processed food in the first place. A spot of spinach wouldn't cause them to implode. And/or they were fat and stopped being fat. Or they were vegan and switched to a marginally better fad extreme diet.
