I went strict carnivore for five months and started getting terrible leg cramps at night. I salt my food heavily. I supplemented magnesium, potassium, and calcium in citrate form with no luck. Added fruit, honey, and raw milk to my meat based diet and I no longer have leg cramps. I'm not sure how some people can eat straight meat and not experience electrolyte imbalances.
If you want to find the ultimate nutritional truth, you must think in molecules, not pretty colors and what "seems" super natural and healthy based on the incomplete stories we've been told.
This is where 99% of health influencers are stuck. They don't understand that the fruit we see today are NOT natural—they are a manmade frankenfood resulting from thousands of years of bioengineering. Even the most home-grown, pesticide-free fruit you grew in your own garden is just a clump of fiber & sugar that inflicts the exact same damage onto your liver as alcohol.
Fructose = fructose = fructose.
If you want to have a piece of fruit every once in a while, go for it! None of us are perfect and it's obviously not going to kill you immediately.
But just understand that doing so is purely for taste bud entertainment. It is a clear net-negative for your health.

My approach to Carnivore is "mostly not plants", so I am having quite a bit of dairy.
Will be having yogurt with berries this morning.
I am seeing lots of good changes already by cutting out most plants.
Thanks for your sharing your experience.
Totally man. You're probably a lot smarter than me with your approach. I followed Ken Berry's beef, butter, bacon and eggs to a "T" and it about ruined me. I don't give up easily. I thought maybe I could struggle through the electrolyte imbalances and my body would adapt sooner or later. Nope!
