Not Carnivore if you have been eating fruit and honey. Sorry.

[@tomgarbett77]

Yes I know, it's more 'Animal Based' like Paul Saladino advocates. It's just that he still refers to it as carnivore and is know as the carnivore MD and so it is a little confusing but you're right it wasn't pure carnivore, but it was 95% or more carnivore, so please excuse my use of the terminology :)

[@hondablack1]

@@tomgarbett77 Thanks for replying Tom. My halfpenny worth says that, if you are not doing the full Carnivore diet, then you will not be going into ketosis. Therefore you will be missing the main point of the exercise. If you achieve a state of ketosis (fat burning) , you then burn ketones for energy and you will gain masses of extra energy plus also clear thinking. The brain prefers fat to glucose. It takes roughly two weeks to arrive at ketosis. Most likely you have never arrived at that state, as you have been eating fruit and honey. Try again, only this time do a proper Carnivore diet. Best Wishes.

Yeah sometimes you don’t realise how beneficial a diet is until you come off it! Did you at least get to enjoy some carbs? 😅

[@lurraskea]

Is not because of the carbs why you feel bad. It’s because you have changed your microbiota and now you don’t have the bacteria diversity necessary to handle anything else than meat. Carnivores tend to forget that we have a microbiota and diversity is good. 4 Carnivore here so talking from experience. In my case I only got healthier when taking care of the diversity of my Gut.

[@tomgarbett77]

@@lurraskea I didn't feel bad at all, as I say in the video I felt great, with high and stable energy levels and reduced appetite etc. But yes I completely get your point and that was my main reservation when starting carnivore was the gut microbiome. But from what I have researched since, it's not necessarily that a carnivore microbiome is worse than a high fibre diet, it is just that it is completely different and so the two are difficult to compare. Hence my earlier point of apples and oranges. In fact the main benefit is that with carnivore you are cutting out all if not most carbs which will deplete the types of microbes that you don't want living in your gut that induce inflammation etc. So I think it's an area that again needs more research, but I have been trusting people like Dr Anthony Chaffee who discusses this at length. What issues were you having when you were on carnivore?

My nutritionist advised high fat and magnesium glycinate 600-900mg for bowel function, if its too much it will cause loose stool, so you just dial it back. We don't realise we are mostly deficient in magnesium and meat isnt that high in magnesium. Although our magnesium requirements may reduce without carbs, but a preexisting deficiency requires high dose supplementation. Although carnivore may be our ancestral diet, we are not living ancestrally. We have lots of physical stress on our bodies from toxins in our water, skincare, medications and health conditions as well as psychological stress which our ancestors didn't have to deal with and they all deplete magnesium rapidly. It's also the case that we drank from natural water sources that were toxin free and mineral rich and now we drink water that is low mineral and toxin rich. Even looking at chlorine in water, this binds the magnesium and makes it unavailable to absorb.

[@tomgarbett77]

Yes you make a great point here regarding the stresses and toxicities of the modern world that our ancestors didn't have to deal with! I do think though that at least without the plant defense chemicals, absorption of those minerals will be higher.

You should have to try the carnivore diet not for a month but a year. A month is way too short of time to see whether the carnivore diet would alleviate any ms neurological symptoms. Its pointless to even bother doing it for a month. As for the hemroids , use water to wipe and than toilet paper and those hemroids will go away fast, DONT JUST USE TOILET PAPER by itself to wipe. Meanwhile drink lots of hot water and hot teas with your carnivore meals. Drink some green matcha teas and continue gyming. If someone follows these principles than I would have the ability to properly judge whether the carnivore diet works for ms. Im strongly considering doing the carnivore diet myself to properly assess whether it will help my ms symptoms. Only thing holding me back is the fact I love my green smoothies so much haha.

[@tomgarbett77]

Yes completely agree it was not enough time to alleviate any symptoms. I was mainly trying it for a month to see if I experienced any benefits in my general energy levels, strength etc as part of world carnivore month, to see if it would be something I could maintain in the long term.

Ah Tom you were 2 wks ahead of me so i was really hoping to follow your journey alongside mine. I too havd the same diagnosis RLRM variant. I don't like to name it out loud or even call "my" as i feel it encourages me to own it, and i certainly do not want to own this! I prefer to use distancing words in the attempt to discredit it being allowed in my life. "That MS" sounds so much better. I started 4 days on just meats and cheese & cream, and eggs only, but grew concerned about oxalate dumping which caused me to research oxalate foods and which coukd be used to help lower the intake first before stopping and going full carnivore again. So week 2 sees me working through moderate oxalate foods and then next week I'll omit the foods from this week to go to lower oxalated foods until I'm hopefully able to remove and return to full carnivore. So i guess i am clean keto for now. Inflammation is one of the issues i am hoping to change, so management of Oxalates are definitely key for my journey. I noticed you didn't use double cream in your coffee? I am stuffing myself as much as possible, with cheeses butter cream olive oils to help keep the fat content high. I am hoping to follow the suggestions of KenDBerryMD moving into carnivore when ready. Thank-you for sharing your journey 🙏🏼

Hi Tom, I am so relieved to see you are no longer eating the carnivore diet. The research behind it for autoimmune diseases is weak. There are no long term, peer reviewed studies to support it. Our gut healthy is so important to managing our MS and its symptoms. We need fiber (and a lot of diversity of it) for a healthy gut. I highly recommend the book Fiber Fueled by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz.

I have MS for more than 25yrs...i eat BBBE Beef, butter, bacon and eggs....90% of my MS is gone....i feel healthy, i can walk normal again AND without pain

[@Sabbathissaturday]

No! We do not need fiber. It makes stomach issues way worse. Carnivore cured my stomach issues. I’m off all medication. Feel great.

The research behind it for autoimmune is weak, but the huge and growing number of case studies are strong. There are no long term peer reviewed studies on any other diet and I do mean studies, as in RCTs not epidemiology - i.e highly confounded diet surveys, animal or test tube studies. I cured mast cell activation, histamine intolerance, IBS, BMS, chemical sensitivity, subclinical hypothyroid, adrenal dysregulation, chronic fatigue, joint and muscle pain after decades of consuming a supposedly very healthy wholefood diet that was supposedly good for my gut health. Healing began within 2 weeks of starting carnivore and 2 years on I've completely resolved all of those issues. We know so little about gut health to be largely meaningless, the studies on this are in their infancy. And I've recently seen several self reports of MS symptoms in remission and and brain lesions completely disappear on carnivore.

Oh please🙄...this argument is getting old and weak with hundreds of thousands of anecdotes of its healing power...no scaremongering

I knew you won’t last bro because all the carnival diet will give you is more inflammation

[@tomgarbett77]

What makes you think that? The science shows that a carnivore diet is great for reducing inflammation because your body can digest and absorb 100% of the food. Hence the reason it can be beneficial for those with autoimmune conditions.

@@tomgarbett77 I think people underestimate the importance of fiber in our diet and specifically that diet and ways of life is the leading cause of diseases. You have a micro biome thriving with different gut bacteria’s the more plant count the more diversity. Animals don’t have fiber only plant does short chain fatty acids which int turn promotes health comes from eating plants not animals.

[@tomgarbett77]

@@marytorti5147 yes the fibre aspect through me off when I was first looking into the carnivore diet. However studies show that carnivores have a completely different micro biome that still promotes health and you receive the short chain fatty acids direct from the food rather than by the break down of plant fibres. It appears to me that comparing the two is like comparing apples with pears. It seems fibre is beneficial for those on an omnivorous diet that includes carbs, but through the lense of a carnivore diet there is simply no need for that fibre. It’s a really interesting discussion!

@@tomgarbett77 Tom I am trying to disuade you from your choice which is your right. I am not a herbivore or vegan but comparing the two diets is not apples and pears. Plans based diet trumps animal and fat based diet. When you go to the forest there are diversity and life (ecosystem) I hate snakes and many creepy creatures in the forest but believe it or not their importance in the system can not be overlooked because they add color and flavor that exist in the ecosystem. Fiber/plant don’t only improve your micro biome but acts as a sweeper. It helps regulate the moistness of your stool and gives you a nice feel of emptiness when you go no 2. It’s been rightly said all sickness begins in the gut and believe it or not having poop stuck inside of you is like living in a house that are unswept/ no cleaning; it’s dirty, stinky and unpleasant and it’s a breathing place for germ and bacteria. Shifting your micro biome could be a short term gain for a long term suffering. Blocking your arteries and are susceptible to heart disease. Animal diet is no match to plant/fiber. Your micro biome is more diverse than All the billions of galaxies . Hey your body is your most prized possession and should run like a well oiled machine if you give it garbage it will not run the way it should. Check out the side effects of a carnivore diet. Peace out ✌️
