Interesting, why protein? I thought it would’ve been adjusting more towards fat.

Excess protein is gonna basically become blood sugar the same as carbs, but it's not going to come from the plants and industrial processing that is typical of carbs.
Never knew that! Great info. The only concern with that is wouldn’t that risk constipation?
yes, indeed. The right balance of fiber and water is tough to find.
Fiber is not really needed unless you plan on eating more fiber.
I think digestion is a very personal thing. If you're constipated from the carnivore diet, then you gotta do something slightly different. If not, great. There's very few universal truth's when it comes to digestion and food sensitivity.
here's a quick essay on it from chatGPT. Google the Krebs cycle
The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of chemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria of cells to generate energy in the form of ATP. The cycle involves the breakdown of macronutrients, including carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, to produce ATP.
Carbohydrates are the primary macronutrient used to fuel the Krebs cycle. Glucose is broken down through glycolysis, a process that occurs outside of the mitochondria, to form pyruvate, which is then converted into acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA then enters the Krebs cycle, where it is broken down further to generate ATP.
Fats can also be used as a fuel source for the Krebs cycle. Fatty acids are first broken down through a process called beta-oxidation to produce acetyl-CoA, which can then enter the Krebs cycle. Fats are a highly efficient energy source, as they yield a large amount of ATP per molecule.
Proteins can also be used as a fuel source for the Krebs cycle, but they must first be broken down into amino acids. Amino acids can then be converted into intermediates of the Krebs cycle, such as pyruvate or acetyl-CoA, which can be used to generate ATP.
In summary, the Krebs cycle is a key metabolic pathway that breaks down macronutrients, including carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, to produce energy in the form of ATP. The cycle is highly complex and involves a series of chemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria of cells.
I mean .... don't take my word as fact, lol. I'm taking a guess here and I thought I recalled Shawn Baker saying something similar. Let me see if I can find the source. My thought is you need more protein to build muscle, so if you want to gain muscle weight, you should increase that.
Thanks for sharing the link! I’ll take a look. Zapped ⚡️
