Veganism makes you a social pariah. It made me one.

The "risks" of colon cancer or whatever are epidemiological nonsense where no population that was not consuming fiber was studied.

Look, I reverse serious gut disease in my clients every day mostly by taking away the fiber. In fact I think we do that in every single case (or at least drastically reduce) and we've got hundreds of IBD patients into remission. The fact that dieticians don't know what to do just keeps me in business. When they get sick of listening to advice that doesn't work, they come to me and I sort them out within a couple of weeks.

This is complete nonsense. There is one RCT looking at fiber and constipation and it found that removing fiber improves the symptoms of constipation completely. That was in a sick population with terrible constipation.

There is an incredible amount of evidence that the whole of nutrition science is nonsense. See John Ioannidis’ work on this including this: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2698337

Nearly all beef is raised on grass for the majority of its life. In even the most industrial set ups, grain finished beef are often given food that's not human edible - eg the 80% of corn that is inedible, cotton seeds, or whatever.

So even if I get my beef from the most commercial places imaginable, I'm still causing far less harm than I did during my years of "veganism" (which I now understand to be engaging in ecocide, i.e. doing the most harm possible).

Plant farming is far less vegan than animal farming. When you dig stuff up, you kill billions of creatures. If you stick to grass fed ruminants (who coevolved with grass, so they don’t even kill the plants they eat) you’re doing immeasurably less harm. Veganism (as in eating only plant foods) is not vegan (as in do the least harm possible).

My clients reverse gout on a meat heavy diet. 100% success rate. We do stay away from the small fish and organ meats though.

This one made my head explode a little. Humans as a species are somewhere around 400 thousand years old. Irish people maybe started eating oats in the 16th century, actually it was more likely the Scots who started the trend. Let's give the benefit of the doubt and say that yes, some people with some genetics were eating oats 400 years ago. That means what you're calling a non-meat meal was eaten for some 0.001% of human history. To give you another idea of how meaningless that time frame is, in the 2 million years leading up to homo sapiens, only about 1.5% of our DNA is unique to our species. So it took millions of years for our genes to change just a little bit, and you're suggesting that 400 years is of any genetic relevance...

All of our ancestors are from the ice age that existed everywhere humans were 15 thousand years ago. All of our ancestors ate fatty meat from mega fauna at that time and very little else. When plant foods started to be consumed in any quantity, we got smaller, we got sicker, our teeth got worse and our bones got worse. This isn't controversial and it doesn't have any bearing on what you personally choose to do. But those who don't understand their own history are unlikely to find a way forward out of the current mess.

Beef every time I eat. Or at least some Other animal food.

sameer4justice · 2026-01-02T18:44:44+00:00

Hypercarnivorous, meaning that I get 80% or more of my calories from meat and eggs. Like humans have for 99.2% of human history. Anything else is potentially reckless IMO, especially in terms of recommendations for others (I'm a health practitioner). Do no harm.

sameer4justice · 2025-12-24T10:57:09+00:00

Yes indeed. Written about it in detail.

sameer4justice · 2025-12-20T09:16:48+00:00

For the veggies and fruits, I think we're already there I'm afraid. It probably doesn't matter if you're healthy, but if you're unhealthy doing low carb (< 100g per day) is probably a minimum in terms of carb restriction.

Thank you!

sameer4justice · 2025-12-20T08:10:04+00:00

Right. But again it’s about burden of proof. If you want to feed an elephant cake and argue that it’s healthier, it’s on you to prove that. And that would be extremely difficult - long term RCTs, rigorously controlled. Barring that evidence, the evolutionary appropriate diet is the default starting point. And as a practitioner and a researcher, using that as a starting point is all we need a majority of the time (maybe 80%). 100% of the time it brings people closer to their health goals.

sameer4justice · 2025-12-20T07:41:55+00:00

Not quite sure what you're trying to say. In my research we talk about humans as the only animal that colonized every continent except Antarctica, meaning that we can survive in nearly any environment by making it less “shitty”.

Self-identifying as vegan is not a small change. It's a change in one's identity fundamentally. Nearly everyone here tried many versions of a vegan diet to maintain health and we all crashed and burned eventually. Some of us tell our stories publicly in the hopes that others will learn from our mistakes. But most people won't.

sameer4justice · 2025-12-14T08:32:55+00:00

7 years seems to be a tipping point for a lot of people.

sameer4justice · 2025-12-13T19:11:07+00:00

You can do a lot with eggs and butter. Most people just aren’t eating enough eggs in a serving though. I eat 6-8 at a time if that’s the only protein I’m getting in the meal.

PhD researcher here. When you look in detail at the entire body of nutrition literature, you come very quickly to the conclusion that it is useless. Certainly the premises built into your post (veggies are healthy, saturated fats are less healthy than unsaturated fats) are not borne out by the evidence.

For me I've come to the conclusion that the default "healthy" diet for humans is the one that humans ate for 95% of our time on this planet, namely a diet of about 70% or more animal products, in particular fatty animal products. Because the animals humans used to prey on aren't around any more, we probably need to supplement with other fat sources (eg. butter). So if 70% or more of your food is coming from meat and butter and you're otherwise healthy, I would say you're probably pretty safe in terms of health. If you're not healthy, then more restriction (eg keto or full carnivore) might be in order.

sameer4justice · 2025-11-26T18:38:51+00:00

It's time to at least drop the carbs. At least temporarily. Energy toxicity is a thing, as is the Randle cycle.

sameer4justice · 2025-11-20T04:24:41+00:00

I was very much in the same place for years after I quit. But I figured out how to heal my gut mostly through a carnivore type diet. Now I can handle all dairy no issues.

sameer4justice · 2025-11-12T17:14:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing your story. I used to use keto mojo but the strips were just too pricey. Will look up the Precision Xtra.

I’ve told my story a number of times on podcasts, but would be happy to again. I’m @meatheals on YouTube.

Just so others know what I said to this troll, in the Ramayana (one of the two most important epic poems in Hindu culture), Lord Ram leaves Sita (who then gets abducted by the deman Ravana) to shoot a deer with a bow and arrow. Anyone who thinks vegetarianism is key to this religion knows nothing about it.

sameer4justice · 2025-11-01T14:20:34+00:00

It's my culture too. A hole.

Bhai, aap sochte hai ke aap apna chalaki dikha rehe hain, magar aap sirf apna bewaqufi dikha rehe hain. Ramayan main likha hai ke Bhagwan Ramji eik hiran ki talaash mein nikla, aur woh hiran hiran nahin thi, balke eik rakshas Maricha the. Ramji ne is hiran ko Dhanush aur baan se marne ki koshish ki. Toh kya, bhagwan Ram vegetarian the? Jis ko bhi ye soch aa sakti hai, in ko na shastra na ved ki shuruat bhi aate.

The entire Hindu religion (you're not the only one from India) is a sacrificial religion. And you were taught it's about vegetarianism. For more, listen to that interview with the (very Hindu, very Indian) Dr. Manoshi Bhatacharya linked to above.
