The Lion Diet?

We humans are omnivores. The lack of fruit and veg will shorten your lifespan considerably.

Yeah, it's not that simple. LDL may increase in the short term, but significantly decreases in the longer term, while HDL may increase.

Long term effects of ketogenic diet in obese subjects with high cholesterol level - PubMed

This study shows the beneficial effects of ketogenic diet following its long term administration in obese subjects with a high level of total cholesterol. Moreover, this study demonstrates that low carbohydrate diet is safe to use for a longer period of time in obese subjects with a high total...

Yeah Eskimos probably evolved a lil bit differently than us, who live in dignified climates.

My point is that a pure carnivore diet leaves room for vitamin and trace mineral deficiency. We humans have a much longer digestive tract than natural predator-carnivores and we have just 4 incisors, which point to us being natural Omnivores. Artifically supressing this nature by only eating meat will just lead to problems in the future.

Are those tears metaphorical substrate though ?

*Amended YT comments
It depends on what you mean by libtard and it also depends on what you mean by tears. This is a very complex proposition.

One must acknowledge the underlying verisimilitude that is irrevocably nested within a multi-layered metaphysical substrate which many people fundamentally conflate with their ideological presuppositions with no uncertain irregularity.

I can't stress enough that this causes the inadvertent dismissal of Jung's archetypal extrapolation of the quintessential axiomatic juxtaposition required to achieve Raskolnikov's magnitude of Neo-Marxist existential nihilism.. #repeat

I have been naturally eating only vegetarian diet due to upbringing and not really supressing the nature intentionally. Of course, childhood indoctrination plays a part but that is another story.

I am pretty sure I have certain deficiencies (@ShaunSA - thanks for your valuable incoming input), but I would say I am as healthy / unhealthy as any other average person.

How would you judge these "problems", in any case?

I'm also vegetarian from birth by my own choice. I was always told that I can choose by my folk.

The trick is to eat a balanced meal with enough complete proteins (beans+maize) and enough salads. I used to have low B12 and switched to beetroots/garlic in my meals and that disappeared. All about balance I guess. Staples are basmati rice/dhal/salad/curries.

Same here .Plenty of beans & vegetables has kept away any possible issues.

Regarding choice, I don't know. I am so tempted by bunny chow pictures in that thread but I just can't bring myself to eating meat. It just seems wrong. I am sure childhood indoctrination is strong in "my choice". Literally, no one (except one uncle) in our family ate meat for at least 2 generations I know of. Thankfully the next generation is catching up slowly.

Also once I had a work function while on carnivore, and ate pizza with everyone resulting in cold sweat and a trip to the bathroom in case I was going to be sick - fortunately didn't.

I tried a 100% raw food diet for a few months & the energy & mental clarity was incredible buy joh...it's hard to socialize where food is involved because you eat some processed or sugary food and you feel really kak.

Low B12 which I take a jab for every 6 months - if I remember. The tabs don't quite work for me

Apart from that no issues. My diet could be better. I don't eat fruits and I reckon I could quite happily subsist on a diet consisting of beans, potatoes and lentils with the odd indian veg thrown in :cool:

And roti of course! That is my staple carb of choice
