I run a lot and noticed bad cramping and heart palpitations on pure carnivore. I added in fruit and all of that went away. Might not be everyone elses experience but it's what has worked for me

Aren't you concerned about the sugar from the fruit interfering with ketosis? From what I understand, the reason consuming meat and fat all day doesn't make you fat is because without the carbs (sugar) your insulin stays low leaving you unable to store fat. But when you introduce sugars, your insulin goes up and now all that fat can be stored. That's why eating fat and sugar (like ice cream) is so fattening. I think my biggest concern at this point is the impact this will have on my LDL, and the potential to develop kidney problems.
