āCarbs and sugar are badā is a complete psyop
I am the most lean and jacked Iāve been in 4 years eating tons of fruit, juice, honey, sourdough, skimmed raw milk, well cooked veggies, and lean-ish meat

Yes. š I feel great with some hard boiled eggs, watermelon and a glass of raw milk in the summer. No need to eat another living creature at every single mealā¦
But eating another living creature is the best part!
Excellent meal. Totally relates to the season youāre in and eating locally as well š¤š¤
Iām not pounding sugar and fruit in the dead of winter when thereās snow on the ground
All my food is dead before I eat it.
(This is a joke.)
Literally this. The obesity epidemic is 100% because of the seed oils. Humans ate tons of sugar prior to seed oils and were all relatively ripped and lean
Maybe in the 20th century, but not hundreds of thousands of years ago. But keep up the journey.
10-12k years ago you mean*
Tons is relative. Humans ate whatever they had near them. For a short time we live in an age of abundant, ultra processed, empty calories which has resulted in the obesity we see today
š
Yeah we Bitcoiners tend to be a bit hyperbolic on the food subject. But Iāll hear some reasonable comments like this too. I canāt imagine going through life and declining various cuisines that make life interesting.
Thatās where Iāve settled on. Ray #Peatstr talks about this too
Is it a complete psy op to say that just carnivore is better though? Iāve been on carnivore for at least a year and I think itās great
I understand peopleās body react to different things differently etc. and Iāve genuinely found complete commitment to beef and lamb to be unmatched
Sugar always ruins my concentration and steadiness etc
Veg can be fine!
Carnivore is great, but long term it has its own set of side effects.
One fun thing to try would be keep doing carnivore except for right before, during, and after your workout where you consume a sugar in some form and see how your workout goes and how you feel after.
Also depends on the season. In Ireland Iām not sure how long you can get vitamin d for during the year but that plays a role in sugar intake as well
Ireland has 2 seasons - July and winter š if that answers your vitamin D question š
Yes Iāve read people feeling lethargic during workouts such as Paul Saladino and Joe R. Both recommending what you said there.
I may try it, Iām not against it. Iām not a carnivore maxi, it just had a great impact on my life.
What are the long term negative effects of carnivore if you donāt mind elaborating?
YOLO! Being open to experimenting with diet has been great for me.
As far as long term effects from Carnivore: depletion in certain vitamins and minerals, cortisol maxxing which results in accelerated aging, hair loss, etc. from your body having to constantly be converting protein to energy
This is exactly how I eat. Keto all the time except healthy carbs before and after a workout, which is every 2 days. Works great for me, I'm approaching 50 and feel like my health and fitness just continue to improve.
Everyone has to do what they feel best doing. I do worry about a disconnect for most people when eating majority animals. Have you ever hunted your own animal or been part of the butchering process?
And yeah too much sugar does interfere with concentrationā¦ itās hard to know what the balance is
No never hunted and thatās the plan. Most of us are disabled from sourcing our food. Most urban people donāt t have the land to grow plants so even then your dependent on a regulated industry.
No and no
Id elaborate more on a reply but Iām unsure why it mattersā¦ I do live in Ireland though and the food quality here is quite highā¦ if thatās connected to your point
Yeah i do great on carnivore. And or strict keto. Feeeeeels great man.
Yes. I use to have digestive issues and I no longer do. The bitcoin carnivore community has had the best impact on my life bar bitcoin itself.
Iām not a carnivore maxi though, as in if you can eat other foods, feel good and look well then youāll be fine
The biggest killer of people nowadays is stress and anxiety. Whether itās day to day or long term. Carnivore brings immediate benefits to my life and its effects are self evident. People live to 90 on spuds, steak, beef, bread, butter, whiskey and Guinness where Iām from, they have a carefree attitude living a traditional life
My family also suffer from gluten intolerance. We can eat it but suffer later. Beef and lamb fixes this. I could probably eat veg and rice and if I have to for some reason on occasion then I do
Iām on the same page with you exactly.
This diet helps me eat clean and removes interest in junk. When I go off the diet, I tend to gradually then suddenly increase my intake of junk. It happens at a subconscious level.. because consciously.. I am aware that I do not want to eat it, I am aware that itās bad for me. But my inner urge, or my subconscious completely ignores that and then before you know it. I am shoving my mouth with something that makes me feel like crap EVERY time š
Yep
Completely get it. More important than all, donāt sweat the small stuff like that
Once youāre eating mostly red meat, youāll be fine
Pretty much!
Now if I can start working on taking a break on coffee.. āļø š
Coffee is a hard one to break but Iāve done it
Itās been replaced with tea but tea is so much more manageable
I low-key think coffee is bad for you just because of how good it is š Iām insanely productive on it
It definitely messes me up with cortisol levels, and electrolytes. I thooooroughly enjoy it though. With a nice fat spoonfull of HWC. Yum
Why skimmed milk ?
So we get our milk raw from a herd share. Full fat with the cream and everything. We drink a lot of milk and I think I was putting on the pounds with all the cream I was consuming.
nostr:nprofile1qqsr26r4lltjnvrwadxp67ns58m4qpzaqemhf5sup7hlujhjh7t296qprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqy8hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddaks9juf20 put me on to skimming milk at home and using the cream for other stuff so I have been doing that for a while now and making ghee out of the cream!
Iāve been working out 5 months and still canāt get rid of all the belly fat so I had to be honest with myself and look at the 2-3 gallons of raw milk I was drinking per weekā¦.I miss it.
That is actually way to much for one person imho. Personally, I limit it to 16oz a day at most. Dont have to give it up, just cut back.
Lol yes way too much.
Stuff is so good though, hard to not chug a whole gallon at once. š
I almost drink a whole gallon when I do a pickup and itās been a few days without.
What I like to do and it helps with over drinking the milk since it more satiating, is throw 3 or 4 raw eggs with the milk and blend it up. And its just delicious. Or add a banana or some berries and give it a little flavor boost.
Same, I feel so weak when Iām not eating fruit and Sourdough. Fruit, homemade bread, beef, and eggs is the way.
š¤š¤
I donāt eat crap, but Iāve never been particularly careful with what I eat and feel sluggish and tired all the time. Iā looking to make a change, what would you recommend i look into? Thanks
Go carnivore for 1-2 months, introduce raw dairy and eggs in month 3, introduce cooked veggies, properly cooked white rice, fruits month 4 and beyond.
Immediately cut out all seed oils and stop eating out and start cooking all your food
My joints hate me if I eat too many carbs but I canāt do zero carb! āSeasonal carbsā and cycling work pretty well for me
I really do think itās just seed oils and processed sugars fucking us up
Could not agree more. Just because the body can produce the required glycogen without carbs, does not mean its ideal. Its a fail safe, and unless one is consuming more than their body's protein requirements, muscle will be broken down in order to produce the glycogen.
Agreed
