Thousands of people are claiming to cure themselves with this radical elimination diet. I happen to be one of them. If you are suffering and looking for an alternative, consider this:

"this is what humans have eaten for tens of thousands of years - large ruminant animals."
No denying that primitive humans ate plenty of meat, including large ruminant animals in areas where those were common (which was by no means everywhere). Does that mean that's all they ate? No, it doesn't. Look at human anatomy. Neither our teeth nor our digestive system is resembles those of any carnivore. We evolved to be omnivores. Of course individuals vary; people are different. I don't doubt that some people have issues that cause them to do better on a carnivore diet, while certain others do better on an exclusively plant-based diet. Yet most of us will do just fine eating some of both. Ideally, all of us would avoid excessive fast carbs, seed oils, and highly processed foods.

Interesting course of action. Along with the keto instructions including not eating for 18 hours every day I also grow my own nutrient dense naturally grown vegetables and along with berries have also turned my health to as good as results as you have experienced.

When I was younger.. I used to go on massive diets.. high protein,, called the Stillman diet .. it is has been around for a long time.. and use alternative dieting techniques..for removing toxins still do but I cannot do that any longer because of my diverticulitis and colitis issues which everyone has late in life some people don't have manifest the symptoms. The important thing about diabetics is that they flush their kidneys with lots of water and fluid because of Ketosis which is a normal metabolic process when eating lot of red meat.. which i really miss every much.. so eat it while you can still tolerate it.. both of my sons have trained in Martial arts and body built.. and real food is better than any of the fake protein shakes.. that is a good post.. !

I have similar martial arts background. Been training hard for 30 years. I always suffered from fatigue and sleep issues since I can remember but I was younger and able to push through. Finally 5 years ago I became pretty much disabled with extreme adrenal fatigue and my sleep got even worse. I can spend a month or two without good sleep or no sleep altogether. I started the carnivore diet 4 months ago going into month 5 now in August. I think I'm doing everything right but haven't been feeling better at all and most days I'm just bedridden. I eat mostly 50/50 grass fed grass finished ground beef and steak, pasture raised grain free bacon and eggs, chicken, raw dairy, milk, cheese, butter and cream. I do have decaf coffee and herbal teas. Am I doing something wrong? How long did it take you to feel better and start training again? Did you start with Lion and then transition to carnivore? Thank you.

This is an old article I found through a link in another older piece, so I don't know if you'll see this. I have recently gone carnivore-ish. I haven't given up tomatoes, onions, coffee, black pepper, green peppers, coconut oil, 85% dark chocolate, or hot sauce. Maybe one day, lol, but you gotta live a little. Ultimately, the only good diet is one you stick to. But I've already lost twenty pounds without even trying and I'm eating like a king; tons of food. I eat when I'm hungry and I'm down to two meals a day. Didn't try to only eat two meals, don't feel like I'm sacrificing, it just happened because I'm just not that hungry. I've totally lost all urge to snack. I thought I'd get bored with the limited food choices but I find I relish every meal. Food just tastes better.
But I'm also writing to ask you if you've heard of grounding or earthing? I recently discovered it and bought myself a grounding sheet to sleep on it. Huge improvement in sleep quality! And pain from a torn hip labrum a year ago has diminished significantly, to the point where I don't need any medication, not so much as an aspirin. It markedly reduces inflammation. I'm a believer and I'm getting grounding shoes next. You might enjoy looking into it.
I'm happy to join the problem solvers. I'm 58, married to my highschool sweetheart for 38 years and have 11 children together. I have run my own small business for the last 30 years that employs around 8-10 people. Problem solver is basically my identity.

Here is my introduction to "Nutrition - the third medicine". (My translation of the title) by French professor of medicine Dr. Jean Seignalet (pronounce it "Shon Saynyalay:)
In April one month later, I had no more acne, asthma or arthritis. If I ever eat wheat again, I start heaving, i feel arthritis in my shoulder (the first place where it was) and i can have 1 or 2 pimples.
That's it."

Edited to correct the link to my youtube video "Introduction to Nutrition - the third medicine"
I eat plenty of meat, eggs, and raw dairy, along with vegetables, a little fruit, and sourdough bread. Fats are limited to butter, extra virgin olive oil (which comes directly from small-scale producers) and coconut oil (which I apply liberally when sunbathing). Even so, I no longer burn in the sun. I go out during peak sun strength for an hour or so, and tan. If there is any redness at all, it disappears by the time I hit the shower.
So I think extremely limited omega6s are the key, rather than a pure carnivore diet.
Very interesting to see this pop up on your substack! After being diagnosed with a rare supposedly autoimmune neuropathy in 2010, I started reading about nutrition and became low carb, starting with the keto diet. It didn't help my neuropathy but improve my health in so many other other ways that I've never gone back. For example, I haven't had a cold in all that time despite living with family members that regularly got sick.
I moved to a hot desert climate six years ago and have not had a sunburn despite not using sunscreen. There's a school of thought that avoiding polyunsaturated oils, especially linoleic acid, is what does this, and your recommendation to avoid vegetable oils is in line with that.
Out of curiosity, did you have any labs drawn to assess levels of inflammation before and after you started the diet, like C-reactive protein, LDH, or homocysteine (others)? It would be interesting to see a measurable response that goes along with your personal experience.

Here are some comments underneath the video:
"Hi Chris, i want to offer my testimony. In 2002, 2003, i lived in Bangkok and had been afflicted, for years, by three diseases : acne, asthma and arthritis. Arthritis was so excruciating that i was considering committing suicide. I co-rented an apartment with a young Thai girl and her presence saved me too. In March 2003, a friend gives me the book, l'Alimentation ou la 3e médecine, and I read it very fast. I just applied what Dr Seignalet said.
In April one month later, I had no more acne, asthma or arthritis. If I ever eat wheat again, I start heaving, i feel arthritis in my shoulder (the first place where it was) and i can have 1 or 2 pimples.
That's it."

Fascinating! Amazing what diet changes can do for health.
I eat plenty of meat, eggs, and raw dairy, along with vegetables, a little fruit, and sourdough bread. Fats are limited to butter, extra virgin olive oil (which comes directly from small-scale producers) and coconut oil (which I apply liberally when sunbathing). Even so, I no longer burn in the sun. I go out during peak sun strength for an hour or so, and tan. If there is any redness at all, it disappears by the time I hit the shower.

For a biologically plausible mechanism for why carnivore helps with so many diseases, there's this: https://yelling-stop.blogspot.com/2016/11/thoughts-on-spreadburys-cellular.html?showComment=1479117550963#c5759002349095209285
So, right after I win the lottery, then. :-/

Are the psychiatric benefits organically caused by consuming only meat or are they just downstream of the physical health improvements?
no coffee?? pourqoui??
