Not as good. You need carbs to lift hard and build muscle. You can do it on carnivore but it's slower and more difficult and way less fun.
The only issue with carbs is that they make me tired, especially if its bread or rice. The best I feel consistently long term is carnivore + semen retention, but I'm 6'1 165 lbs. I was 190 lbs a year ago before carnivore diet and stronger
>The best I feel consistently long term is carnivore + semen retention
its sad to watch young men define themselves by meme shit...like what you said makes you sound like some golem nonperson, im being totally honest as a 40 year old
you sound moronic. i dont mean that in an insulting way. im saying that it sounds like your development was interrupted and you have stupid ideas about how things work
>i get tired from eating high gylcemic index carbs
so....eat...low...glycemic index carbs?
>define themselves by meme shit
Concisely describing the pattern is defining himself by meme shit? Would he be less constrained if he said "eating only meat and not jerking off"? Why? It's the same meaning
The frick are you even saying
>eating only meat
It's a meme.
>and not jerking off
He said semen retention. Which means no sex either
>bread
stop eating bread. Gluten is terrible for you.
Welcome to the modern world were 95% of everything is toxic and you need to LARP as a monk to not become estrogen-poisoned.
>glycemic index
Fake and gay metric.
I pray your second 40 years are more enlightening than your first.
>uhh, glycemic index is actually fake
never fails to see the stupidest shit ever written on this board. this board has the lowest average iq on IST
>this board has the lowest average iq on IST
And if you left, it would have the highest.
Everyone from Ray Peat to Robert Lustig recognizes glycemic index as a useless metric. You don't know shit and are fat.
oh, well if Ray Peat and Robert Lustig said so
>This is what happens to males without dads
Im 100% sure these people never lifted in their entire lives and never did any sort of diet
so ditch the rice and bread eat taters and cabbage like an irish
shit's good yo
there isn't a "carnivore diet"
humans don't eat like that
Meat, fruit, root veggies like potatoes carrots onions and garlic, beans, and nuts is the ultimate diet.
It kills gains and there’s no evidence it is any good for long term health.
It’s really a meme weight loss diet and nothing more.
In terms of health: It's the best possible diet you can be on, as it's the default and optimal diet for human beings. It has also made me insatiably horny and egotistically confident, so that's a plus.
In terms of building muscle: I've been doing carnivore for 2 months now and I've been lifting for a little over three years. I had plateau'd for quite some time until starting carnivore. Since starting carnivore 2 months ago, it's the first time time in about a year that my lifts have started to progress again and I'm becoming noticeably leaner and bigger. Not to mention my lifts are going up DESPITE being in a caloric deficit, so that's proof enough that you CAN progress while being in a deficit. I don't really know what else to add.
I would post my body, but I don't own any device that has a camera, besides my 3DS, but I accidentally bricked it a couple of years ago, so... yeah...
>Been on meme diet for grand total of two months
>Thinks this qualifies him as some sort of authority
These are the morons telling you how great carnivore diet is. Six months from now he'll be doing the same with some other meme tiktok diet he's bought into.
Dude, I'm literally just giving my experience. Don't be so fricking hostile to me for no reason, princess. Take the stick out of your ass.
>Dude, I'm literally just giving my experience
"In terms of health: It's the best possible diet you can be on, as it's the default and optimal diet for human beings"
No, you're making a fricking authoritative, fact statement that you have no formal or even informal education about, whatsoever
go frick yourself, "I dindu nuffin" brown bullshit poster
Lol. Jesus, did a carnivore rape your family or something? Settle down, you hypochondriac, it's not that serious. Christ. But you know what? Just I'll double down and say that yes, carnivore is literally the best, absolutely optimal diet for human beings to be on and every other diet is shit. Happy, you drama queen?
good morning saaarrr
Saars are vegetarian, except dravidians
Stfu you stupid ugly homosexual
Make me, daddy. 😉 <3

>pepe reacton image
This is the most 16 year old third worlder post I've ever seen. Make sure to tell everyone the objectively correct diet for humans though.
>as it's the default and optimal diet for human beings
Why? Humans are natural omnivores. A quick look at history or our teeth would say that.
Also stuff like how humans can’t create our own vitamin C and need to get it from fruits/vegetables
Wrong, we are obligate carnivores, which is why we can survive entirely on meat and nothing but meat and end up with no nutritional deficiencies, but can't survive on purely plant matter. Our bodies literally don't need anything other than meat. Simply because we CAN eat other kinds of food matter, it doesn't mean we're MEANT to eat it. I mean, frick, cats and dogs can eat vegetables, cows can eat meat and it won't immediately kill them, it doesn't mean they're SUPPOSED to eat them, but by your logic, they're technically omnivores.
Also, the teeth argument is moronic. The reason we don't have sharp teeth isn't because we evolved to be omnivores, it's because we had sharp tools that we could use in place of things like sharp teeth and claws. If we never invented tools, yet still hunted animals we would have evolved sharp teeth by now. Never use this flawed line of reasoning again.
Wrong. Contrary to popular belief, meat actually does contain vitamin C. And not only that, but when you go zero-carb, you don't even need that much vitamin C anyway, as carbs inhibit vitamin C absorption, since they compete with each other for absorption. So when you have no carbs in your body, instead of needing 100s of milligrams of vitamin C, you only need micrograms. And also, plenty of meat products contain tens of milligrams of vitamin C, which is more than enough to prevent scurvy, and is especially more than enough when you're zero-carb.
Evidence for any of that?
carbs destroy your teeth. Without your colgates® how would you protect your teeth from rotting?
>I would post my body, but I don't own any device
Always like that with followers of cult diets
I've never seem any of these cultists ever post a picture of their bodies to prove their diet is working
Carbs are anabolic. That said, Mediterranean is a low-ish protein diet that’s for longevity not muscle building.
Carnivore is dumb and it’s funny that it’s the new meme diet being pushed to fatties
Med wins easily
Carnivore is awful for muscle. You need carbs to keep a intense workout
I'm doing carnivore and I'm doing an intense workout right now and performing even better than I did with carbs. I'm building muscle and I've been able to increase my intensity. Stop speaking from ignorance. In fact, how about you, at the very least, just TRY going carnivore for just a month? Just one measly month, that's all. At least then you would be able to speak from experience, instead of just incorrectly guessing.
Not that dude and this was back before the carnivore meme but I did around 6 months of "steak & eggs" though I ate other meat and liver too.
The only thing I can say about energy levels, weight loss, focus, strength training, etc. is that it was adequate. That's it, adequate. Eating a normal omnivorous diet with carbs was like smashing that turbo button, I could always push myself that much harder, have that much more intensity with the carbs. Even when I felt like I was at 100% effort I could *always* push it to 120%.
Carnivore/0 carb/steak&eggs is alright I guess, but omnivore chads will always win.
>omnivore cucks will always lose.
FTFY.
>this is objectively false
Lol. As if I could be wrong about my own experience, moron.
>youre mind controlling yourself into a religion
Dude, settle down, it's just a diet. It's not that deep. Stop being so hostile, defensive, and antagonistic, there's no need for it. It's not that serious, it's not that big of a deal. You're not altruistic and you're not saving me from something potentially harmful. Stop being a hypochondriac and stop blowing things out of proportion. Stop being a drama queen.
>because you didn't have a dad
I have a very loving father and he supports my choices wholeheartedly. He's even thinking of trying carnivore to see if it will clear up some of his problems.
>I'm doing carnivore and I'm doing an intense workout right now and performing even better than I did with carbs
this is objectively false
youre mind controlling yourself into a religion because you didn't have a dad. effectively.
>carnivore
not good.
>mediterranean
better.
