Ken Berry is an absolute legend.
Unfamiliar with him, but I'm watching the episode at the moment.
All his content is worth watching.
It's good stuff. I love having to wrestle with the dissonance - like him mentioning Rhonda Patrick, who I used to be a big follower of during my 'plant based' phase of eating in 2016-2019. Now I actively avoid vegetables and eat primarily red meat/eggs with a lot of fasting.
I'm kinda annoyed at the fact that I'd have to give up cheese to if I went all the way.
Yeah I’m not giving up cheese 😂
Never take away a man’s bacon
I haven't seen this in years 🤣 🤣
No mention of the word "gout". Wouldn't gout become a problem with such a diet?
Or is the protein intake actually not that big (say 1-1.5 g/kg body weight) because all the fat (since he expressly recommends not lean but fatty meat) makes you sate before you're taking up too much protein?
Reminds me of reading somewhere about an assumed trade-off in diet between:
(A) longevity
(B) optimisation for high physical/procreational performance
The beef-butter-bacon-eggs diet then would obviously fall in the (B) category.
They don't talk much about cancer. Sure, many cancers are probably caused by metabolic disease and chronic inflammation from too many carbs, which would be prevented by this diet. But intestinal cancer from lots of red meat, isn't that a proven thing as well?
