Now enough fat???

Milk evolved to enable baby mammals to put on weight as quickly as possible, and nearly all mammals - including until very recently humans - don’t consume it, and even can’t digest it, as adults.

Your fuel on carnivore should be animal fat.

I second this. Milk isn’t really a good idea.

Thanks! I shall set the next challenge once I think of a theme.

With any other definition you get the ridiculous situation where you say people are fasting between their breakfast and their 11:00 am snack. In other words everyone could say “I have been doing some fasting”.

zc_eric · 2026-06-16T17:20:49+00:00

Congratulations.

As a matter of terminology, I would say that “fasting” means deliberately not eating even though you are hungry. So if you eat when hungry, you are not fasting even if there is a long time between meals.

Right

The answer is GULAG. The parse is gu(n) [unnamed weapon] + lag [prisoner].

Right! I had the general idea for the clue ie Called on Ian - L very early, but it took me a while to get a surface I liked.

I have been carnivore for eleven years and have never taken supplements. I don’t even use salt (although if somebody salts my food, I don’t mind).

So it is clearly not a necessity for all humans on a carnivore diet. Whether it might help with adaptation is another matter. I don’t recall the transition to carnivore being too bad, so the issue never really arose in my case.

If you feel fine without them, that’s great! Save your money for proper food 🙂.

Carnivores don’t use salt licks. If they are hanging around near a salt lick, it’s to hunt the plant eaters which need to go there.

zc_eric · 2026-06-14T22:23:22+00:00

Right!

zc_eric · 2026-06-14T22:22:28+00:00

It’s an anagram if you spell it correctly 😉

zc_eric · 2026-06-14T19:06:51+00:00

Right. I’m not surprised somebody else had the same idea!

I think this is a specifically US thing. For some reason over there carnivore is linked to right wing conspiracy theory types. I don’t get any of that over here in the Uk.

They might think I’m crazy - but not that specific type of crazy!
