Why I don't eat plants.

1. They are not needed. All required nutrients are obtainable from meat.

2. They take up space that is better put to use digesting meat.

3. They contain antinutrients (eg phytates) that inhibit absorption of nutrients.

4. Many contain toxins (eg oxalates) that accumulate and cause inflammation and damage to the gut lining and other body tissues.

5. Many are high in carbohydrate, causing blood sugar imbalance, insulin spikes and weight gain.

6. The fibre causes bulky stools that can lead to constipation and damage to gut lining as well as reducing absorption of nutrients.

A carnivore diet is great if you want to become healthier. Problem is, I find it’s not sustainable and after a couple of weeks or months it gets really boring until I reach the point where I actually dread meals. That can’t be right either.

Solution: I keep it meat centered but I add a few veggies on occasion, just for the flavor. Carbs are debatable. I bake my own bread and wouldn’t want to live without it tbh. I’d say 75% meat 25% Veggies/carbs work best for me since it’s sustainable. Everyone is different, of course. Also, there seems to be a correlation to blood groups which I have found to be mostly valid. Some people definitely do better on meat only long term than others.

Have you actually tried being completely off carbs for 3 months?

Yes. Twice. The longest one must have been around 10 months. I did everyone’s head in with it 😁. Lost a ton of weight I never intended to lose in the first place. I was the leanest and the lightest. Thing is that’s not always what you want when you lift. I then learned to use carbs more sparingly and strategically around training sessions. That seemed to work best for me rather than cutting them out completely.
