RE: Carnivore Diet - Does it lack Vitamin C?

in #carnivore6 years ago (edited)

I think its amazing but dont see how i could not eat plants. Ive also watched both of my grandmas make it past 85 eating the worst crap you could think of (just sayin). I really appreciate your knowledge on the subject and may delve into eating this way in the future. Especially when i have the capability to get wild or (i know for sure) organic. I became fat adaptive eating 50g to 100g (mostly leafy greens and veggies) of carbs a day. Id also have one day a week i pulled out all carbs. I also drank beer (alot) 1 day a week. I did this for about 3 years. Out of all my eating styles this was by far the best ive done. I was reading a research paper that was talking 6 months to become truly efficiently fat adaptive (they were experimenting with long distance runners) but i dont think they were meat only. This way of eating has shown to be especially helpful for autism. Blahblah. I love that you do meat only and are well informed and my steemit friend :p. If i remeber correctly you also use to do vegan or vegetarian. If so just curious for how long? Ive also seen some thrive on a plant based diet, including healings. Whats your take on why/how?

Hey, thanks for such an awesome and thoughtful reply.
There are many things that can makes us sick, removing them aids recovery.
I would not say, that everyone "should" eat meat, thats not my business, I love to see people try different stuff. So long as they are honest, so as not to pass on terrible advice.

Most people do carnivore because nothing else worked.
Now that is changing and people are doing it because it works so well even without any disease or pain state.
Fat adaption to athletic standard - yes that can take many months, I feel that exercise helps the adapting, but it still takes time.
Vegan - a long time ago, several times a few months each only. Vegetarian I tried using duck eggs and home grown veggies - about 6 months.

Veganism encourages autophagy similar to the way that fasting works, like fasting it can give great results - until you run out of something essential.
If a person formulates it really carefully and is not already too damaged, they may last a long time, especially if their standards are very low.

Most of us are quite damaged from a thousand cuts - agriculture and industry have not been kind to our biology even if they have made life more comfortable.

Take Care!
