"I'm a carnivore too but love my veg " Then you're not a carnivore, you're an omnivore. People use 'Carnivore' because they think it makes them sound tough, but it just makes me think that they must be terribly constipated. | |||

"Carnivore diet is ancestrally appropriate. Fossil records indicate that height and brain size reduced, dental issues and new diseases associated with inflammation increased markedly everywhere on the planet where people switched to agriculture. The agrarian revolution is probably one of the worst innovations that mankind has inflicted upon itself. The link between today’s health issues and diet is obvious. Nowhere in nature do you see overweight and unhealthy animals who eat a species specific diet. The fact that we evolved to eat foods that allowed us to survive does not mean those foods are any good for us. In the words of Dr Anthony Chaffee, “Plants are trying to kill you.”" The rise in processed foods is the main cause of the health epidemic. If you imagine how long our grandparents lived for its startling. Primarily because the meat came from down the road, the veg from fields around their houses.

"The other way around. When herd animals headed into the frozen north, they were followed, no nuts or berries up there. The Inuit peoples had none of the diseases of the ‘west’ until we introduced processed foods, all of which are made from plants, and thrived on nothing but meat and fat. " Prior to humans being able to hunt they lived on a plant based diet though. I believe bugs, worms, and marrow found in bones was the only supplement to this? Man made tools/weapons didn't come along until fairly recently in our history. We'd not have made it very far if we couldn't survive on vegetation. | |||

There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. | |||

"A carnivore diet may have some benefits but it can also contribute to very high cholesterol levels (particularly LDL) and some nutrient deficiencies." No nutrient deficiencies whatsoever, only vegans and vegetarians need supplementation. It’s now accepted that cholesterol levels have no link to disease which isn’t surprising as every cell in our body is needs cholesterol 🤷♂️ | |||

"In 1900 life expectancy in England and Wales was 44 for men. " Average life expectancies from the past are a bit of a red herring because of the fact infant mortality was so high and women's life expectancy (on average) was much lower due to the fact trying to gestate and birth babies killed them off at alarming rates. If you made it to early adulthood and we're male and not sent off to fight in a war or something, living to 70s or 80s wasn't as uncommon as we think it is. Almost all of my direct relatives who did not die an unnatural death in a gas chamber, lived to at least 75, going back to people born in the late 1700s. The only exception is my maternal Great Grandmother, who died in her 30s (relating to childbirth. Obviously). | |||

"After reviewing all the responses, it’s evident that many individuals may not have conducted thorough research or may be placing undue trust in their doctors' recommendations. Unfortunately, this can lead to a lack of understanding about dietary options. The carnivore lifestyle, in particular, is often cited as one of the most comprehensive diets for human health, providing essential nutrients in a highly bioavailable form. It's crucial for people to explore various perspectives and educate themselves about the potential benefits and challenges of such dietary choices." Are you foing to provide these citations?

Fad or otherwise. The Internet is a wash of both information and misinformation. You will find arguments and speeches and statistics to support just about any point of view.

Yeah it's been life changing for me, I stumbled into it after eliminating everything out my diet that was making me ill and ending up on the carnivore diet. I've gone from housebound to feeling better than I have in years so for me the health benefits outweigh every other diet option by a mile. If other people eat carnivore, believe in it or think it's a load of crap is completely irrelevant. They do them and I'll do me. | |||

As with cholesterol, yes it's a vital part of our cell membrane. However, it is not accepted that it doesn't have a link to disease. In fact there's lots of studies saying different things currently which no definitive answer. The study I presume you are referring to says that the link between high cholesterol and heart disease is inconsistent. Which is a far cry from accepted. As always it's important to read various sources and critically review all the data not just the papers that agree with us, else you're opening yourself to bias. | |||

"Again a fade… what is it with people? Only meat, only plants, fasting, and, and, and … some people desperately struggle to be novel. We are not obligate carnivores, nor are we able to be vegan. Our body copes with periods of fasting because through our evolution we developed the storage of energy in adipose tissue and glycogen. The concern I have with the concept of a pure meat diet is the absence of meaningful fibre and roughage needed for a healthy gut and the disproportionate ratio of protein to non-protein calories given our lifestyle. There is also the denial of the pleasure of multiple flavours, textures etc provided by the bountiful options. Like vegan/vegetarians, the denial of part of your normal diet is akin to some masochistic choice." Where would the Inuit get fibre? It isn’t needed. Fat and protein are the only essentials for health. What we want and what we need are two different things. If we needed fibre or carbohydrates humanity would not have been able to survive in the Arctic. But we did and we thrived. Eat what you want but the Inuit peoples of the Arctic are the perfect example of the health benefits of a totally carnivore lifestyle. | |||

This is data from Inuit corpses prior to 1970, as the last 50 or so years the modern world has wildly affected their diet and means of living. | |||

"Hello all, I have embraced the carnivore lifestyle for the last 7 months and never felt so great plus I have lost 1 stone. Is there anyone else on fab who is on carnivore too?" 100% carnivore for over 4 years, feel great on it! Not for everyone but I for one will be sticking to it! No aches or pains, gained muscle, lost fat more energy than when I was in my 20's all my health issues gone! | |||

"It is actually for everyone " No diet is for everyone. People have different tolerances for certain foods, dislike some textures, have allergies, religious or cultural restrictions etc. We're very fortunate in that many of us can choose our diet because we can afford to and there's a variety of foods to select from.

"Again a fade… what is it with people? Only meat, only plants, fasting, and, and, and … some people desperately struggle to be novel. We are not obligate carnivores, nor are we able to be vegan. Our body copes with periods of fasting because through our evolution we developed the storage of energy in adipose tissue and glycogen. The concern I have with the concept of a pure meat diet is the absence of meaningful fibre and roughage needed for a healthy gut and the disproportionate ratio of protein to non-protein calories given our lifestyle. There is also the denial of the pleasure of multiple flavours, textures etc provided by the bountiful options. Like vegan/vegetarians, the denial of part of your normal diet is akin to some masochistic choice. Where would the Inuit get fibre? It isn’t needed. Fat and protein are the only essentials for health. What we want and what we need are two different things. If we needed fibre or carbohydrates humanity would not have been able to survive in the Arctic. But we did and we thrived. Eat what you want but the Inuit peoples of the Arctic are the perfect example of the health benefits of a totally carnivore lifestyle. But they have genetic mutations that have evolved over thousands of years to compensate for their diet... Mr & Mrs Bloggs from the UK don't " Also I think the climate being so cold means they needed the extra fat. | |||

They do eat a disproportionately high amount of meat, but thinking that the live on pack ice on nothing but meat is wrong. For centuries man has traded on resource for another. In the Inuit peoples case, it was for those items they could not forage for in the very short summer. Today’s Inuit, while maintaining (with difficulty) traditional culture, are struggling more with abuse of alcohol than fibre. But I assure you the alcohol was not distilled from polar bear scat. | |||
