What's /fits/ opinion on the carnivore diet?
I gained 40 pounds this year and have been having stomach issues so I decided to try it out.
It's been a week and I feel great and have lost 10 pounds already.

                You typed all that as if you didn’t read anything I wrote. It doesn’t come down to priorities or preferences, it comes down to shitty palates similar to that of a kid. Almost every major type of cuisine functions off of balance or complementing flavors from one food item with another. Onions in a red wine pan sauce on a steak is perfect example of this. They complement each other perfectly and build complex levels of flavor that could not be achieved on their own. Or using a balsamic glaze over the top of goat cheese sautéed mushrooms and black truffle on a round of a baguette. This is legitimately one of my favorite things to have alongside some fried eggs with a hash made with onions and smoked fish. Your restrictive diet is so lazy and boring. I’m thin, I’ve eaten well my entire life since my parents could cook and so could I. Why forgo the simplest joys of life for literally nothing, it’s not like anyone doing carnivore has achieved anything someone who follows an more normal diet hasn’t. You just don’t make sense to me, your lifestyle is a waste of energy, time, and ultimately removes you from being able to appreciate life.

                You are wasting energy and time following a stupid overly restrictive diet because you are too lazy to address the core problems that you are already aware of which is portion control. Calorie counting is only necessary for the beginning too, once you know general calorie content in items you can usually accurately estimate how much you are getting in a meal. Usually being lazy results in having to do more work and wasting more energy. If you just learned how to cook, control your portions, and had a general understanding of calorie content in food, you could be thin and actually enjoy your life, and not have to obsess over a boring overly restrictive diet that you will most likely fail on.

            Hunters existed before fishermen. The ancestors to humans would crack skulls open and eat their brains to get the nutrients that only algae-eating fish could bring them otherwise.
            Unfortunately, there doesn't exist a single plant-only nutrient, let alone a plant higher in a nutrient that a human would need elsewise on a carnivore diet, especially since carnivores don't have cravings for goyslop like the average modern soiboy.

              I can maybe verify this. I've been on 90% meat/eggs/cheese for the last 60 days and I don't even want cookies or pancakes or fast food. Before, it was a matter of willpower or distraction. Now, if you dropped a pack of Grasshopper cookies on my desk in front of me, I'd get mad at you and throw them out because it sounds only mildly appetizing and very unhealthy.

              Kinda cool how the diet affects the cravings. It seems to get its own momentum in that manner.

                I'd call my diet meat-heavy, not carnivore. My ancestors didn't pass up a berry patch, mushrooms, nuts, edible plants, or a stomach full of pre-digested greens. I share your concern about dairy, though I wonder if a large part of homosexual sapiens' 200,000 years might have been spent nomadically dragging cattle around. Why not? I'm evolved to digest it and other humans are not, so I consider this natural.

          nta, but that is untrue, medieval peasant ate a good amount of meat but not more than what Americans eat. It varied a lot by where you lived, but most usually had around 2-3lbs of varying meats from pork to fish over a week, which factors to about between 1/4-1/2lbs of meat a day, less than the 3/4lb of meat Americans have on average per day

However, it is available at times when there is a limited variety of foods available. Therefore, the diet can be interpreted as famine diet.

                Are these the papers you are citing saying that there is no stable isotope evidence of plant consumption? The papers discuss themselves that there is evidence of plant consumption, but it is difficult to separate proportions of plant and animal consumption, since the stable isotopes mainly tell you whether the diet featured high tropic levels (consumption of carnivores) vs low tropic levels (consumption of plants and herbivores).

    It is objectively more nutrient dense than eating only plants, it has been used for thousands of years to relative success in those societies, eating more meat is allegedly correlated to longer life and less broken bones, etc. I started carnivore last January. It was great. Solved a few problems I had with eating a lot of carbs at lunch and getting super lethargic (I only ate twice a day). Didn’t do it do for weight loss so I can’t comment on that. Now my diet consists of beef, lamb, salmon, butter, limited pork/chicken, eggs, liver/heart, raw cow or goats milk, and recently have added kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, also sourdough once weekly.

    I have not had any issues with carnivore, other than the first two weeks having diarrhea and noticing that I can never eat out because even if I eat some Goyslop it doesn’t fill me up at all compared to a pound of beef (that has saved me money and is not a bad thing but thought I’d mention)

    My advice would be to try it because you likely won’t hate it, then add in other foods as you hit goals and whatnot in the future.

Also from what I see of people doing this, if they try to reintroduce other foods they get really bad symptoms.

                Seems legit. I mean, aren't cholesterol patients prescribed a low-cholesterol diet? Then they have to come back to the doc and keep being on pills and doing stuff to *keep* working on their cholesterol?

                Instead, just give the body a bit of cholesterol, and it won't have to overcompensate by making so much itself. Sounds pretty good to me.

        Fat is the most calorie dense of the macros and isn't as satiating as protein. Straight from Arnold's bodybuilding Bible, lower fat if you're on a cut.

    definitely if you're having stomach issues also, are you actually doing carnivore or just chicken breast and steaks and drowning them in salt? unpasteurized dairy or large amounts of animal fat can also help make gains if that is an issue as it was for me for awhile. expect some diahhrea at first too. i had 2 bouts within the first 2 months but it is just bacteria changing in the gut. definitely dont take antibiotics for itsince you will feel worse. i can eat carrion now and its nice

              I watched one where a woman claimed to debunk the stable isotope analysis showing humans were extremely carnivorous. Her rebuttal to the evidence was to basically say (not verbatim)
              >look these mammoths had anomalous results, what's with that?
              >haha ignore the stable isotope stuff
              but when I googled it there's a simple explanation (they eat lichen or something? I forget) and the analysis for all animals including humans is still considered reliable and correct. She just throws out a random fact and tries to mislead people into ignoring very reliable science. It came across as super scummy and dishonest.

              I always am reminded that vegans lie to save animals. They are willing to say anything even if it is trickery.

              Although I have to admit some of them like Joel Kahn surprised me recently during the pseudopandemic with their integrity. Made me think some aren't totally dishonest and are just misguided.

        CICO is an inversion of reality. You don't get fat because your body has an 'energy imbalance', you have an 'energy imbalace' because your fat tissue is in a growth state.

          >You don't get fat because your body has an 'energy imbalance', you have an 'energy imbalace' because your fat tissue is in a growth state.

          Right. Which is because your body is trying to increase the 'amount' of fat in your body, right? So if you eat more than you need, the body goes into that state, while if you eat less, it goes into 'diminishing mode'. If you eat so little that there's no point in taking from reserves or it's dangerous to spend from there (i.e. takingfrom it would have no benefit and just deplete it) the body goes into a starvation mode by conserving everything.

          Am I missing something? How can fat be in a growth state? Isn't fat inactive tissue?

              When a teenager grows in height is because their body is telling all the tissues to get bigger and grow. That needs food, so they eat.

              But that's not a fair comparison. Teenage growth is puberty. We're talking about getting fat or losing weight. So, you're telling me fat tissue can get into a growth state by itself and then requires more food? Where does that growth state come from?

                I think I understand.

                If your fat cells are in a growth state, they will demand more fat, and if you put it there, that's what's making you fat. It's not:

                >Be in equilibrium
                >Eat more than you need
                >That excess gets stored.

                It's
                >???
                >Fat cells are in a growth state
                >You give them fat or your body basically puts fat there
                >You get fatter.

                Okay. So how about the other way.
                >??
                >Your body is in a 'shrinking' state: the energy the organs need isn't totally there.
                >Fat in fat cells get employed, i.e. the fat cells are in a 'giving' state.
                >The fat is taken away
                >You get leaner.

                How is that not just the same thing as CICO? You're eating more than you need, the body notices the extra resources, puts the fat in growth state, now it can suck up the fat. You get fatter.

                It's the same thing from a different perspective. CICO is saying that you have an energy need and eating more or less makes you respectively get or lose fat. What the dude is saying that a fat cell has a state, and depending on what that is you can remove or add fat into the cells which is what makes you fatter or leaner.

    There is absolutely no benefit to over-indulging in processed carbs. It's garbage nutrition, usually with the fiber and nutrients stripped out during processing.

      I've watched like 20 Sv3rige ex-vegan interviews and one of the most consistent themes is that veganism is glorious for the first 6-18 months, due to the body eating through its nutrient stores. I'm not very skeptical of the carnivore diet but I'd encourage you to stay at least somewhat on guard as you progress, in case something like this might happen with exclusive meat eating (never heard of it though).

              If a study or collection of studies tell you to do something unnatural then you should question the motives of the people who provided that information.

                you're wrong. palmitic and stearic long fats are the healthiest fats you can have. take the advice your high school counselor told you and throw it in the trash.

      There's no issue. There's this concept going around that dieting isn't about the components of the food impacting your body, but they total energy, despite the energy absorption of the food not being exact and the poor general advice of saying "a calorie is a calorie" indicating to some to just eat spoonfuls of sugar until they reach a carefully and autistically measured amount of poison. If you're eating carnivore correctly, you'll be eating a high fat diet and never feel the need to overeat. If you jump into CICO with no other information, or worse, bad information, you'll spend your days posting on IST and call carnivore "keto" despite carnivore being a dietary restriction option and ketosis being an insulin-dependent state of metabolism.

    I drink 2L of water a day, usually. I assume that should be enough?

    The smart thing to do is eat meat until you hit your daily protein needs, then eat a large amount of veggies that don't give you gastric distress (many people have fricked up digestion from being raised on horrible diets), then eat carbs or excess fats to replace any calories you still have a deficit in.
