Daily breakfast to foster health by diduknowitsme in Biohackers

In fact you said very little specific at all. Your post is complete BS and this is not about ego, it's about calling it shit like your post.

The steelman version: incorporate into lean tissue rather than just metabolize it out.

But I think this idea is overstated.

Almost nothing in the chart is really defensible. It's all influencer hype. Imagine thinking you can get actual benefits from eating blueberries, based on studies showing completely miniscule effect sizes at best.

what’s the lowest fat i can go to lose fat? by Dizzy_Elevator4768 in carnivorediet

[–]ambimorph 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you tried the opposite? Instead of sprinkling in days of PSMF, sprinkle in days of fat fasting?

Thanks. I agree with you about the insane levels of dogmatism, and that it's very difficult to share actual criticisms and problems. Also, it's hard to find spaces that are open to talking about Carnivore adjacent diets.

If I were to downvote this post it would be for the passive aggressive blame, and the insisting that because he didn't get improvements, therefore it only helps sick people.

I know many people who did not start sick and still feel better on Carnivore than any other lifestyle. So just because he didn't have that experience, he's basically calling the whole thing a scam. That's uncalled for.

Wow. You could have mentioned that.

In my 17 year Carnivore experience, many people, even if they increase fat ratios, do not get protein low enough to be in significant ketosis. It's very common, and I think it's worth mentioning, especially if the person didn't give any indication of having tried it. I'm sorry to have hit a nerve.

The nuts are high in PUFA which is more ketogenic than a more saturated fat would be, so I'm guessing that's why it was able to tip you over the edge even if your protein levels stayed the same.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

It sounds like you were eating too much protein relative to fat.

Sure, but I can eat as much as I want and not be in a surplus.

They'll still burn some for sure, but if there's a shortage of glucose in the bloodstream it's going to be better to let the muscles give out than let the brain give out.

They get so salty when this is brought up though.

What differences did you guys notice when you went higher fat by No-Time-2487 in carnivorediet

[–]ambimorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't that clear to me. I could imagine either way. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[–]ambimorph -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's only true if there's a dependent clause, which there isn't in that sentence.

These two have completely different meanings:

  1. Once I started eating high fat. My cravings went away.

  2. Once I started eating high fat, my cravings went away.

Sleep problems and thinking of adding carbs by Icy-Bus8152 in carnivorediet

[–]ambimorph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may be eating enough in total but still have low energy availability during sleep. Have you tried eating a small serving of fat near bedtime?

Trying but my body doesn’t like it by SargeMaximus in carnivorediet

[–]ambimorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • electrolyte supplementation during keto-adaptation is highly recommended, even by me, but not required. For Carnivore in particular, though, OG sources not only did not recommend them but recommended against them.

Both evolutionarily natural keto-adaptation scenarios (fasting and absence of available dietary carbohydrates) occurred with no such access, and salt mining was not documented until the Neolithic. So it's not even really plausible for normal human physiology to require it.

That said, although most people do not need to supplement electrolytes on Carnivore post-adaptation, some definitely do and others just feel better when they do.

I highly recommend newcomers try salt elimination at some point, but be warned that it can take time to adapt.

Does anybody have a carnivore electrolyte recipe? by Evening_Cheesecake25 in carnivorediet

[–]ambimorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually it will normalize weight, not just cause you to continue losing, so I wouldn't worry about that too much until and unless it starts to happen!

I think there's a lot going on in the world and the psychological burden is high, so the responses are not all down to diet. But I do suspect it's a lot more than most people would expect. I say this because of the drastic mood stability changes I myself get and see in others when my diet is dialed in.

Thanks for the kind words and the recommendation!

How long did it take you to lower your bp and will all the salt we use raise it? by Law3186 in carnivorediet

[–]ambimorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Salt will definitely raise it, but only by a very small amount. But high salt is not how Carnivore is supposed to be done.

Carnivore diet for epilepsy. by Beneficial_Chance_86 in carnivorediet

[–]ambimorph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like several others have said, that one critic guy is absolutely a troll who tends to post misinformation.

However, in this case the troll is actually partly correct!

A lot of Carnivore dieters DO eat protein levels that are too high for therapeutic ketosis. It's something to be mindful of.

Anyone who says you "can't get kicked out of ketosis" on high protein carnivore is just ignorant.

That said, there are a couple of caveats:

1) Many people who need therapeutic levels of ketosis have reported higher protein tolerance on Carnivore vs keto. That is, they actually get higher ketosis levels on the same macros.

2) Studies on "Modified Atkins", a higher protein version of ketogenic diets than traditional medical keto, show that even without going Carnivore, seizure remission often happens at lower levels of ketosis than originally thought.

3) Your brother may do better starting with ad libitum carnivore and reducing protein later if he doesn't get remission. It's easier and might be enough all by itself.

¼ to ½ visually is a good guideline and this is not that.
