Skin has fiber and other vitamins and minerals. Like blueberries are rich in antioxidants
Discussion
Fiber is not essential and associated with poor outcomes for a lot of people (constipation, bloating, rectal bleeding, painful bowel movements).
Fruit contains high concentrations of lectins which are harmful for many people.
Fruit is high in fructose and glucose which are harmful.
Fruit is full of carcinogenic plant defense compounds (harmful).
Fruit is full of anti-nutrients that prevent absorption of vitamins and minerals so substantially less nutrient dense than advertised.
Just get your nutrients from meat. Much greater nutrient density and bioavailability per gram, complete food (has everything you need), isn’t laden with harmful natural compounds like fruit and vegetables.
If meat was so great and carbs were so bad the why does every professional athlete add fruit and carbs them to their diet for peak performance?
“…why does every professional athlete add fruit and carbs them to their diet for peak performance?”
This is a false premise fallacy. Not every professional athlete does this.
You can ignore the verifiable facts I relayed about the harmful compounds in fruit (and vegetables) but it won’t make them any less true.
This lecture refutes your false premise fallacious statement and really gets into the scientific realities of ketogenic athletes and their superior capabilities:
And here is a professional athlete who plays NFL football as a rookie.

Look at his diet. Full of all the toxins and sugars that are bad for us in fruits and veggies yet this guy goes out runs and throws a football at a high level.
My grandma is 90 years old and been smoking since she was 16. Is that proof smoking is good for you?🤣
I know of a lot of people who do the wrong things and can perform athletically despite that, it doesn’t prove it’s right. It proves humans are resilient (which we are). But the facts and the science is clear. No carb / carnivore is the optimal human diet.
People can eat all the trash they want, be metabolically unwell, in an inflammation-rich suboptimal mental and physical state, dependent on their sugar hits throughout the day bc they’re junkies. It’s pathetic and laughable once you understand basic human physiology, but it can be done. Though there are always consequences (aging, diabetes / metabolic syndrome, joint breakdown, excess inflammation, increased risk of cancers, mental health disorders).
If that were true then how come it doesn’t relate to peak performance?
Your grandma is anecdotal so making that comparison to a professional athlete weakens your argument. On mass we know smoking has bad outcomes. But on mass eating carbs doesn’t.
We have entire cultures of people that never eat meat and sustain life just fine.
To further my point take the USA sports industry which is a multi billion dollar business that has every incentive to maximize human potential from an energy, performance, and endurance standpoint and yet sports trainers don’t put athletes on a 100% carnivore diet. Why is that? Are they all misinformed? They have the means to buy the best meat the world can offer and can implement these nutrition guidelines for all athletes but I haven’t heard of a single team doing this in all my years of watching sports.
I’m not trying to be a dick about this but I truly want to understand this position from a truth and evidence standpoint with real world examples not just cited papers and YouTube video of some doctor making meat be the cure all for human nutrition like with anything it has downsides and tradeoffs just like bitcoin.
Record metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, cancer, obesity, mental health disorders IS the outcome of increased carbohydrate consumption.
These are verifiable facts. If you refuse to do the work to understand this verifiable information then I can’t help you.
If you watched the lecture by Dr. Chaffee you would know that elite professional athletes all over the world are switching to carnivore because of its benefits.
We will agree to disagee. Thanks for the response. I will watch that video to further my knowledge about this diet.
