The Carnivore Diet: Benefits, Vitamin Deficits, and Better Alternatives

In this exploration, I will delve into the carnivore diet, examine its purported benefits, and shed light on why its vitamin deficit makes it a less-than-ideal dietary choice.

In recent years, the carnivore diet has gained traction as a radical approach to nutrition, advocating for an exclusively animal-based intake while eschewing plant-based foods. Proponents of this diet argue that it brings a plethora of benefits, from weight loss to increased energy levels. However, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that while the carnivore diet may have some advantages,…

I think that everyone with some kind of disorder (diabetes, GI issues, etc) who gets told to "just do keto" by one of these insufferable keto bros should be legally allowed to beat them with a baseball mitt

shoutout to all the gainers currently having to deal with hearing an onslaught of fatphobia & diet talk from relatives.

whether you're pushing back or grinning and bearing it, you're doing great, and nothing that judgemental family members say can devalue this beautiful thing you're doing for yourself.

Something that I think a lot of people who write about Kevin having an ED don't know is that coming off a very strict diet will make you sick when you go back to eating normal food. Like, your body straight up forgets how to process sugar and fat for a while – it's more than a psychological reaction.

So yeah, while his insistance on avoiding certain foods before games are a combination of Actual Facts and Nest Paranoia, there could also be a real element of "Of course you can't have a burguer and fries before a game. That's gonna make you bloated and slow and nauseous for three days. What are you talking about Aaron what do you mean that's not normal"

I feel old bc I didn't like the amazing digital circus.

anytime i see the word “holistic” used in relation to medical stuff i am on edge. my classmate’s research project uses that word and focuses on the effects of a dietary fat on bipolar disorder and im just like. look whatever fucking thing you come up with isn’t going to be worth cutting out a significant part of nutrition for whatever minimal impact it might have, if any, when there are far more viable treatment options that cover a lot of ground

Being in Ed recovery is honestly so frustrating when I’m constantly bombarded by my illness being normalized

The very same behaviors I did and was called crazy for are praised when others do it. The same exact behaviors

i'm glad i decided to try out a ketosis diet again (aka changing my metabolism to basically only use ketone bodies made from fatty acids for energy by reducing carb intake to max 20g/day) for a few weeks because it was a neat experiment but i'm also glad I decided to stop because now i get to enjoy life's greatest fucking simplest yet finest delicacy: mashed potatoes/sweet potatoes with melted butter and salt. i cannot understand how i could live without that. just. vegetables. keto has opened my eyes to new ways to cook foods and experiment with ingredients but i don't think i can live without carbs. i doubt that the majority of people could. also have you any idea how much good simple near-zero effort food there is out there like holy gosh darn in heaven. i don't have to spend hours cooking something to have a nice meal

'well of course fad diets don't work' -- guy on keto

So I ended up reading about type 2 diabetes in case there is something I'm missing that my doctors are also missing and there are some sources saying there's no link to sugar intake and the disorder but at the same these sources talk about "high carbohydrate intake" which are... essentially sugars

But just as insulin resistance, diabetes type 2's origins are not fully known yet but can be linked not only with diet but also stress, trauma, genetics and so on and so forth

My general take is stopping giving a fuck what strangers are eating because you are not entitled nor will know everyone's disorders but also spreading information about good habits and improving your diet - not to lose weight, but to feel better.

But I still would encourage others to include less processed foods, fruit, vegetables and information how to spot better quality meals in general - not choosing cheap supermarket food if you can help it, buy high quality meat, fresh veggies and do eat comfort foods but in moderation. Not only to improve mood but also to let your body rest, because dieting of any kind can exhaust your body and the effect might be opposite to what you want to achieve.

hi please don't reblog pictures of bread from me complaining that your diet won't let you have bread.

hate feeling like a fucking conspiracy theorist for being anti diet anti stomach surgery and shit when its literally supported by actual science that the act of trying to lose weight or taking away your ability to digest food is whats actually Bad For You

i've gotten to a point in my life where skinny people make me angry like so sorry to my skinny friends but i would love to see fewer of you out and about i'm tired

middle of the night spiral post deleted, i am gonna go on a pleasant sunday afternoon coffee date and i will be cute and charming, let’s fucking GO

I had to leave church because they were all doing the keto diet in addition to the purity bullshit and all that other Christian stuff like you’re going to tell me I shouldn’t masturbate and then you’re going to tell me I shouldn’t eat bread or potatoes

Miss me with that bullshit
