Carnivore diet

[BBSA]

The Carnivore Diet, occasionally referred to as the Zero Carb Diet, exclusively permits the consumption of animal products. Consequently, vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and starches are all excluded from the diet. While dairy products are generally allowed, some individuals following this diet choose to avoid them due to the presence of lactose, a type of sugar. The r/zerocarb subreddit, a thriving community of 49,000 members, succinctly defines the diet as follows: "Our diet consists solely of meat and animal products, with no reliance on plant-based sources for nutrients or calories. While certain animal products contain carbohydrates, such as dairy, the majority of these are considered acceptable."

My appologies for the long video, but I found it very interesting.

Anyone here on it?

It does not, lots of vitamin c in animal organs. They cover this in depth in video.

You do not have to, stay on your current diet if it works for you.

Does not seem so. It is covered in the vid. From what I understand, the body actually needs less vitamin c when on this diet because glucose which competes with vit c through some transport mechanism is eliminated or something like that. And with the lower requirement of vit c by the body the vit c that is found in the meat (not organs) should suffice.

Perfectly happy with my plant-based diet, thanks.

Doesn't seem very healthy, or pleasant.

Think I am following this diet for past thirty years.....

 

[Ancalagon]

I'm thinking I should try this. I am already pretty close to it. I would just need to cut out the remaining veggies I eat and add liver. Maybe beef liver. And fish.

If 1 billion humans start this diet, I can foresee a global drought extremely soon...

 

[Ho3n3r]

I would never be able to go on a diet where I have to exclude anything I like.

Much easier to eat the same things, but in moderation.

 

[ArmatageShanks]

Hmmm lekker nthamies man
