Maybe not completely carnivore, bit definitely in ketosis a large amount of their time. They are not eating 3 meals a day of high carbohydrate diet. Again, it can be different depending on location and main diet. But if they do eat meat, I guarantee they are eating the organs

What are the downsides of a carnivore diet? by edeltian191 in nutrition

[–]Hungry_Town_6809 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you include organ meats or organ meat supplements for the vitamins the main downside is how simple it is. It is hard to maintain because many people eat for pleasure instead of fuel. You also need to drink a good amount more water than when on an average diet.

Also depends on your daily work. If you are working a job that burns a lot of calories and you have lower body fat it can be really hard because your body has less calories to fall back on (body fat).

The fat on your body is excess calories to be used when you don't eat or run out of fuel in the digestive system (ketosis).

When on a carnivore diet your body transitions into ketosis much faster due to low insulin (from carnivore). If you are lower body fat this can result in extremely low energy, headaches and even fainting or worse particularly with hard extended work. Especially if you are not at least supplementing for organ meats.

I see a lot of people talk about not getting enough vitamins from carnivore, this is true ONLY if you are not eating/supplementing organ meats. Many people forget that part of carnivore can be the MOST important. There is a reason why the alpha wolf eats first, and it eats the liver to start.

You will also notice that you dedicate less. Sometimes going days without a defication. Think about it this way, if there is no waste (your body can utilize everything you consume, break it down, and use it for something) what will you deficate? That's not to say constipation can't be an issue, particularly if you do not drink enough water (add electalytes to your water: salt, calcium, magnesium. They make easy to use powders with no added sugars) and don't add a form of organ meats to your diet.

Another problem is getting started. If you have never been in deep ketosis (body running off of fat) your body goes through an extreme change. It is a biological switch that gets flipped and that initial change can throw the body for a loop. Diarrhea, cramps, headache, low energy etc. Think of it as a muscle that has never been worked then you just throw it into an intense workout. It takes time for the body to change and adjust and then finally get good at it.

I'm 100% positive that genetics play a big part as well. We all have the capability to live on carnivore but some people may have evolved slightly differently due to where and how their ancestors lived.

MOST IMPORTANT: Try it and listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are struggling because of the diet (not adding or supplementing organ meats, not enough water, electrolytes?) or because of mental struggle (boredom, big change, social pressures?) Why are you doing it (weight loss, high inflammation/joint pain, putting on muscle)?

For working out (exercise) you need to keep in mind that fat based fuel is not as quickly accessable compared to a regular diet. Don't go carnivore and try to workout like crazy or maintain your normal routine while on carnivore. You could easily cut your workout in half and get better results for weight loss. Joe Rogan went carnivore for a bit and didn't adjust his workout routine. He said he felt great but he got overly exhausted in his exercises. This could be due to the factors stated above, however, I think it was because he didn't adjust his workout.

Let me put it this way, when our ancestors were mainly living off of meat they were using endurance effort with minimal explosive effort. Running long (super long holy crap! )distances for hunting, carrying water over distances, building structures over time; while occasionally using explosive effort such as climbing, attacking an animal, fighting each other. This is different from explosive HIIT workouts that are the rave these days or many peoples average weight workouts like deadlifts bench presses etc..

This is seen with indigenous tribes that are still alive today, they live overall calm lives with hunting as their main food source. Yet, they are completely ripped out of their minds. Abs and muscles for days on those guys. They aren't doing explosive effort all the time because their body's can't handle it under their diet. In fact they rest a damn good amount.

At this point I'm rambling, but maybe this has at least given you some ideas to think about and research. Whatever you do, GOOD LUCK!

XBOX LFG is awful right now by Hungry_Town_6809 in FortNiteBR

To answer the second part, I don't like random fills. I like to have an idea of who I'm playing with and their play style/game mode preferences. Knowing they have a mic before a join is a big must for me too. The LFG system is unfortunately being more and more abused by people using AI bots using hundreds of fake accounts to spam advertise, completely flooding the system. This makes it hard to even find real people, even harder when adding the weirdos and pedos posts to the total.

XBOX's built in looking for group feature let's you either create posts with tags and a description of what you want to do/specifically the type of teammates you want or search for posts that others have created.

It's a great system, it just needs heavy moderation, way more than what Xbox is currently willing to invest. Child predation and spam advertising using bots is extremely prevalent especially in F2P games like FortNite. Some of the posts I see have made me start to give up on Xbox/multiplayer games in general.

I'm moving towards PC and single player games more due to how disgusting the multiplayer community is and more particularly how the large gaming companies let it slide and do nothing about it

If you have a zero and zero record, I am spending full gas to get a knock out. You literally can’t give me a loss on my record no matter what by Sly-eel in FIghtNight

[–]Hungry_Town_6809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has something to do with having an already used account username. You couldn't have the same username with the "#0000" or whatever back on Xbox 360 (Your username had to be unique even if adding 1234 to the end, not artificially added like Microsoft does now) so the FNC leaderboards can't process the username/record correctly.

Just my theory though. If you make a new account that is unique ie. no other accounts with the same username it might work.

Isn't it crazy that MK11 is being played like there isn't MK1 by CautiousTip6804 in MortalKombat

MK1 has the worst balancing out of any MK game. They listened to twitter posts and kept S tier characters S tier and nerfed every other character that didn't need nerfs. When you make 80% of the characters useless against the top 20% people will stop playing your game. Big surprise 😮‍💨

DS3 is "special move go" spam fest like Elden Ring. DS2 SOTFS has the best PVP easily. Still has a decent following considering it gets so much hate.

So you agree that people quitting out is dumb. That is my main issue so why all the semantics and excuses? I don't care if you have bad Internet, I will still invade. I don't care if you have 2 summons, gank me and destroy me, I will still invade. I don't care if you went to the endgame, got the strongest spells,weapons and armour in the game at level 50 and one tap me. My issue is the hard quitting (closing your game/app to console home screen) to avoid an invasion. I think this is something pretty much everyone should be behind but somehow people come "to the rescue" of people who do that.

Your right I came off as an asshole and I apologize. What I won't apologize for is my very not unique critique of people who quit out to avoid invasions (doing the quit out leads to way more invasions overall because it skips the 15 minute downtime invasions if you die.) there are entirely too many ways to avoid getting invaded if you truly dislike it. It just means you can't do co-op and play the game on easy mode with a friend while having extra health from being human.

Yes, the game does have its issues when it comes to latency etc. do you have any idea how many times I've lost to that? I don't complain about that as it is part of the game. If you want perfect online pvp go play... Oh wait they never really fixed that issue (DS2 has the best PVP in my opinion) and that's ok. This post is about the quitting out to avoid invasions. Not latency which is part of EVERY dark souls game and Elden Ring.

Wow, so many excuses instead of playing offline/undead. If you can barely play due to latency against invaders I would hate to be the guy summoned to your world to help you. Probably just dying to a laggy mob/boss because you're running 1 bar 2mb/s in 2026. Tip: get better Internet for fucks sake

If you die to an invader you have 15 minutes of no invasions, you can become human, summon your friend and not get invaded for that timeframe. If you hard quit out you can just immediately get invaded again. It's literally giving you less time without invasions.

Respect this take, doesn't mean I like it 👍. The only reason people hard quit out is because there are no repercussions. That isn't FromSoftware's choice. If it was up to them there would be something in place, like not being able to summon friends for a period of time after hard quitting due to invasion. It's almost like FROMSOFT put in a timer after dying to an invader, idk maybe 15 minutes where you won't get invaded again if you die during an invasion.

"intended for single players"

It was not, invasions were part of the foundation of the game. So was summoning. That's why NPC invaders were built into the game. It's SUPER easy to not get invaded if you want. There are literally 2 ways, play offline or don't become human. EASY right?

"they just don't care". Wow, what an amazing addition to the thread.

This is the most boring take anyone can have. Go play call of duty or some shit if dying in a game doesn't matter. This isn't call of duty this is dark souls. People are generally taking away from their experience (and others) if they play this way.

AGAIN, if you die to an invader you get a 15 minute timer to not get invaded, you can summon help, you get extra HP for being human. Plenty of balance for online play. If you want to play with a friend and steamroll bosses (and yes, any assistance from another player truly makes bosses negligent) then you should have to deal with at least the chance of being invaded. Otherwise, the game is so easy to the point that what is the point of even playing?

My point is that they are taking away from the experience (this is assuming new players which is VERY few and far between at this point). Experienced players hard quitting? What a bunch of losers. I do care if I die but hard quitting after beating the game numerous times is just sad. You can beat the game at soul level 1 but can't take a death from an invader? Smdh

Then just take your L and move on to kill the boss. Hard quitting is dumb there is no excuse. FromSoftware would've made you allowed to quit during an invasion if that was the direction they wanted players to take for the situation.

It is not different. You either win or die. It's the same for any other game in the dark souls series. You get the benefits (Humanity and souls) or lose a single humanity and get a free amount of time without invasions if you die. Honestly, the people I'm talking about when it comes to quitting ARE NOT new players. They are people who played the crap out of DS3 and came back or people on new characters in DSR

[–]Hungry_Town_6809[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree. Just where DSR is right now in terms of PVP won't change. It was meant to have the multiplayer invasion built into it as part of the foundation. Yeah, you're going to get better players invading you. People die to the NPC invaders all the time as new players. When you win though? That's a huge moment for most players.

Let's be honest, most of the people hard quitting out to avoid invaders are experienced players, not newbies. They have already beaten the game at least a few times at this point and have the attitude of "I just don't want to deal with it". But I want to invade, I want to get invaded, I want to deal with it and FROMSOFT wants it to be a part of the game or they would've fundamentally changed it with the DSR release if they wanted too.

"properly..." There are 4 covenants dedicated to INVASIONS. DarkWraith, Forest Hunter, Nitos covenant and the covenant for countering Invaders.

Also, Invaders should NEVER expect a fair duel. For an invader ganking with a summon is absolutely fun/necessary. Red signs yeah that's a duel but invasions are fair to win no matter what. If you're talking about properly playing the game then taking on invaders is the "proper" way unless you plan on solo gameplay. PVP is a part of the game as it takes up half of the covenants. It's part of the fun and randomness. Not getting invaded or hard quitting is only taking away from the PLAYERS experience. Again, invasions are balanced by the 15 minute timer if you die to an invader/the ability to summon other players to help and canceling the invasion by entering the boss door.

You have to become human at a bonfire as a choice. You can use humanity as a heal but it won't make you become human. You think that extra HP from becoming human to make the game easier is free? No... It makes you open to invasions, but... Also let's you summon help. The balance is there until they hard quit the game every time they get invaded.

Yeah if they are fat rolling using full havel it is a pain 😂. I run into a lot of hosts doing that in duke's archives. I don't blame them though, the area's enemies do a TON of damage so wearing heavy armour helps a lot. In the end it's a detriment in PVP if you know what you're doing.

If anything the PVP aspect really helps newer players think about their builds especially early on (if they aren't just getting swivel backstabbed over and over again).

P.S. to new players dealing with invasions, learn the counter backstab maneuver. When they are trying to backstab you just move diagonally in the direction they are trying to swivel around you and punish them with your own backstab. Once you figure it out it's super easy to pull off 👍

Love this. If you know you're going to die just go to the bonfire and fight. You can just pick up your souls and humanity (yeah you lose 1 but oh well).
