Nutritionist warns carnivore diet may be harmful long-term 🍖🥓 | Schmeitgeist Podcast | ABC Australia

Some proponents of the carnivore diet claim: carbs are poison, vegetables are highly suspect, and meat alone offers humans an opportunity to "thrive" once again. Some nutritionists warn it could be harmful in the long-term, but plenty of converts swear by the health benefits.
Food and nutrition scientist from the University of Newcastle, Dr Emma Beckett talks Ange Lavoipierre through the pros and cons of all-meat diets.

[@polkhigh_33]

To be fair, her point that a research is cunethical if its proven to be unhealthy and/or unreasonable based on evidence is absolutely legit. Evidence always beats observative studies, though most of the time evidence is used to verify or debunk assumptions based on observative studies. The problem is, the evidence she refers to is terribly outdated, and has been completely reverted.

[@jacquistephens605]

Well said Mitchell, my sentiments exactly. So eating a poisoned plant based, high carb, highly processed diet is better for people's health then, is she saying. The diet that makes everyone ill and become reliant on pharmaceutical drugs for various illnesses. This woman must be deluded.

[@Idi.t]

She didn't have to. Many doctors have already spoken about the carnivore diet and how it shouldn't be used long term. Medical professionals have studied the human body for 7 years to get the job, you've done research about this diet for max a few days (I believe it took even less but whatever) Take care!!

The number one rule of research is not to actively harm your participants.

The other was James Blunt (musician) and he was suspected to have scurvy. He was eating mince, some chicken (probably very well cooked!), and some mayonnaise. Not exactly very good examples of carnivore diets! They sound more like disordered eating.

Our ancestors had a diet strict on fish, shellfish, meats, berries, fruits, poultry, roots and eggs, so we can try and get those ingredients mainly. On a broad level, it's important to remember that it's impossible to accurately imitate the diet and lifestyle of our Paleolithic ancestors. We can base a diet loosely off what we know, but some experts are concerned that some paleo dieters have "misguided perceptions of health and weight benefits" of this diet.

I've noticed that you also have tried to go on a vegan diet and that's why you may be complaining on greens so much.The vegan diet isn't good for you either as the amount of protein you are getting is certainly lower and harder to get. You can develop anemia as an example or have weaker bones. That's why the standard diet is the best as it can provide all the needed nutrients easily.

I'll gain weigth with fruits!!) then exercise more and you can cosume more protein after a workout. I may not be a doctor, but medical professionals highly advise not to go on a carnivore diet long term. They studied the human body for around 7 years, you only researched the dietary program for max a few days. Well apart from the negative effects like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, hydration issues from fluid loss, dizziness, fatigue and insomnia that can come along the carnivore diet, you're litterly sacrificing your taste buds. I can tell that eating only high fat red meats, salt and butter isn't healping out the flavour. Food is supposed to be enjoyeble and a lot of healthy meals which contain veggies, fruits and seasoning taste great. I've noticed that you also have tried to go on a vegan diet and that's why you may be complaining on greens so much.The vegan diet isn't good for you either as the amount of protein you are getting is certainly lower and harder to get. You can develop anemia as an example or have weaker bones. That's why the standard diet is the best as it can provide all the needed nutrients easily. You just have to watch what you are eating, how much of it and try to buy whole foods only. Remember to cosume the rainbow (large variety of foods). Take care of yourself, not only physically but also mentally! ❤‍🩹

Plants are toxic, and the standard diet is why everyone if fat sick and nearly dead. Funny that people continue to pretend that carnivore lacks evidence, when it was the diet our ancestors survived on for over hundreds of thousands of years.

[@matthewhubbard3562]

Well vegans replace natural foods with highly processed foods. Just look at the ingredients. There is a reason they look frail and weak.

The argument for vegetarianism is primarily a moral one.

[@finlayobrien7841]

@@miinfl7143 it's not even moral, because millions of living creatures are killed when their habitats are destroyed to make way for plant agriculture, every time a field is ploughed, sprayed, harvested. How is it moral to deplete yourself of nutrients by eating a non evolutionary diet, so you get sick and become a burden on society

[@bernardpacholczyk8221]

So you suggest to stick with seed oils. And leafy plants that are toxic long term. Oh and I guess we should throw in some soy and margarine. Oh and load up on bread and all the food labeled diet food. Haha 😂

[@caryt59]

An all meat diet does not cause "scurvy"!

[@wonderfulgood2010]

Scurvy: It occurred in the British Navy when they decreased the meat ration and replaced it with grains such as rice. Prior to that, the seamen on the British Navy’s ships had no scurvy problems. It was only after the rice replacement that we had to add citrus to the grog…hence our nickname “limies”. Sad how this nutritionist was taught to teach 1950s doctrine. They have degrees and yet nothing useful to say. Sad to watch.

[@willodonnell2274]

Wow no vitamin c or vitamin k from meat?? You can get these vitamins from liver! Not just plants!

[@tomlauris]

Plants don't have K2 at all

[@Idi.t]

That's true, but whats so wrong with vegetables and fruits? Calm down, they won't kill you. Just add them to your diet and you'll be fine. You dont have to sacrifice your taste buds, I can assure you.

[@robingaming88]

There is no such thing as too much saturated fat. Saturated fat only goes bad if you ingest carbohydrates. You get all the Vitamin C you need from muscle meat and you also get most things vitamin c is used to synthesize such as collagen and carnitine, the things that actually lead to scurvy if you lack them.

[@mattyb1624]

I tried telling a nurse this, she didn't want a bar of it. I simply said go check my bloods that just came back, all perfect 👌😊

[@trouble9862]

Sailor didn’t get scurvy from lack of fruit what is she talking about 🤔 Where is she imagining they kept these large stores of fruit, without spoiling, on a ship out at sea, for months on end 😂 It is well known sailors developed scurvy when they ran out meat. Meat contains vit c 🙄

[@craigcollyer8026]

Facts?I am carnivore and can tell you that this is opinions not facts

[@evejames6484]

Carnivore helped me to get in the best shape physically and mentally.

[@RCPLANET1962]

Don’t show me what you say, show me what you do.

[@Zaaxun]

Meat has enough vitamin c to prevent scurvy. You only need a little, like 10g a day .

[@Gesundheit888]

We need more Vita C if we eat carbs.

[@kelliecanscan3364]

The last year I had so many flus and sicknesses from certain intolerances, which have only come on in the last few years. Last week I ate a handful of dark chocolate almonds (something that is considered "healthy") made me terribly sick. For the past 3 days I went carnivore due to all these amazing successes stories I've been reading- I am almost better (usually a sickness like this would last at least 2 weeks). My stomach isnt bloated and painful like the first day, my bones aren't feeling as inflamed as before and I am gaining a steady level of energy each day. Amazing so far, can't wait for long term results 🎉

[@pepper419]

Fibre makes nothing at all.

[@Idi.t]

Never knew nothing stands for: Normalizes bowel movements, helps maintain bowel health, lowers cholesterol levels, helps control blood sugar levels, aids in achieving healthy weight, actually helps you live longer.

[@mmm-cs7tb]

Scurvy eating organ meats as well? Hmm 🤔 not true

[@aliefacmal]

Maintaining balance in life is crucial. As a former dedicated vegetarian, I can attest to the numerous benefits like reduced LDL cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and decreased risk of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. However, occasionally enjoying meat can be satisfying, and that's perfectly fine! The key is to exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet, and consider incorporating supplements. These include multivitamins, probiotics, fiber, fish oil, and Tongkat Ali - I prefer this over Fadogia Agrestis, as it is 100 natural, clinically backened and safer for your liver. Anywyas fantastic podcast ABC, more please!

[@stillhere7193]

Mam tell me what is your diet since you are expert on telling others about diet. It’s just nonsense talk.

[@Idi.t]

Well I may not be her, but someone on a standard diet. I eat whole foods only, my weigth is healthy (I used to have eating disorders as a child), I am very energetic, happy, I workout daily, jog twice a week and go on walks often. Also I enjoy the taste of variety of food and their combinations and glad that I'm not restricted to only eating butter, meats and salt. Take care!!

[@markotrieste]

I was on the fence for carnivore, but the astoundingly poor arguments made here convinced me to try.

[@victoriar9728]

she is just spewing what she learned in school:) I learn by experience sometimes. and I am not scared of eating meat or vegetables or fruits! but I do not make diet a religion! Each one should eat what is good for them. We already know that to avoid - sugars, ultra-processed foods, gmo foods are bad for you. If everyone starts there - you will be on your way to health. Eating meat is the least harmful one could do. I tested it on myself:)

[@ChyvDso]

6 years now still no scury, heart disease, fatigue, kidney stones. But i guess she must be right.. Just eat LIVER man up

[@Idi.t]

A way to sacrifice your taste buds while you could be living with risk much lower if you just ate a standard diet with whole foods only..

[@OccidentalAryan]

@@Idi.t No proof from you, as usual.

[@pepper419]

The only reason the sailors got scurvy was because they had no meat on board ship. They had no freezers in those days.

[@TKZells16]

Actually sailors kept plenty of meat on board. Salt beef, pork, fish, ale, and biscuits. Generally stuff that could last between destinations. I imagine fruit didn't last very long on those ships so of course they succumbed to scurvy often. One famous remedy that actually worked wonders was drinking Mojitos; which back then consisted of rum, mint, sugar, and lime juice. Another remedy was Grog, made by a sailors named Old Grog in fact. It was water, lemon juice, and brown sugar. So yeah you need some citrus. 🍋

[@mikakaine6406]

Why do people over 100 years old have the highest cholesterol levels? Why countries with the highest meat consumption per capita the longest living? I can’t figure it out…….

[@sensis8036]

They can get Vitamin C from eating animal organs...liver is rich in Vitamin C🙄

[@masterchiefburgess]

But it's not required. A lot of carnivores eat liver or take liver supplements, but I'm not one of them. There is enough Vit C. in the muscle meat of ruminant animals. If you're not eating carbs, the daily requirement for Vit. C drops drastically.

[@user-zf3mb2rh9n]

Just started looking into it but I have a feeling carnivore diet with intermittent fasting and the right protein powders are gunna turn me into a GOD like being

[@Idi.t]

Looking into it doesn't do much, medical professionals have studied 7 years about the human body to even get the job and yet they are advising not to go on the carnivore diet long term (short term should be fine) A standard diet without junk food, processed shit or sugar fizzy drinks is gonna be the best way to easily get all the nutrients needed for your body. Whole foods only ofcourse. And if you're so scared of sugar which fruits provide, then you can also workout more and eat some more protein after a workout like greek yogurt with berries or eggs with something. Hope this helped! Take care man. 🫀❤

[@Gesundheit888]

I would skip the powders. All food that is in powder form. It gums up your system. Eat what you can chew.

[@OccidentalAryan]

It will, although there's no need for protein powders. The meat already contains everything you need .

[@LongDefiant]

I've been intentionally losing weight for 30 months. Down 75 lbs. I would be happy to offer any tips to anyone in the video about how I did it (fully plant based, btw). I'm not fully carnivore yet but the vegan diet didn't help me resolve my bowel inflammation. I'll probably try eating only meat for 30 days and see how it goes.

[@glowimagery634]

Tried a Carnivore diet for ten days. Lost 4kg but blood pressure went up so high the Doctor wanted to admit me to hospital for observation. It went from 130/88 to 151/122. Even on meds. I had a stroke 5 years ago so I was quite alarmed. I definitely think Carnivore diet is great for some but just not for me. Not knocking it at all

[@projectbat7465]

What did u eat with the meat, did you put anything on the meat?

[@daraorourke5798]

You can get vitamin C from organ meat. If you eat a lot , preferably raw. Not for me...

[@michaellaughlin3584]

So the argument against a carnivore diet is “old science (as in learned years prior not outdated science) says it’s bad so we won’t even test it? Will someone please help me understand that?😂😂

[@madamecurious]

3:41 the reason why a study would be unethical

[@dailywalkswithJesus]

This feels like such a wasted, ill-informed conversation. Don’t tell people that evidence hasn’t been done because it’s “unethical” when children are still being recommended fruit loops for breakfast. Give us a break. We have brains, experience, and an abundance of evidence in our personal lives from a disappointing sick-care model and this is border line an offensive response because of how low-quality and assumptive it is. Respectfully speaking, more people would engage with this kind of convo if we had a more compelling argument.

[@joanmary90]

Ditto. I can't stand the taste of meat. I've hated it my whole life. I could never do this diet. I'm an omnivore and am a slim, healthy female in my sixties. I love seafood, eggs, milk and cheese. Lots of fruit, whole grains and veggies. No sweets other than fruit. No caffeine. Caffeine really bothers me.

[@eehee2428]

i've tried keto and carnivore and it gave me mad shits and headaches im good ill stick with my vegetable xD my parents taught me how to eat them without growing up to be a adult with the eating habits of a 5 year old throwing a tantrum

[@polkhigh_33]

I mean you do you, its fine. But gotta mention that those shits are most likely a result of your digestive system adapting to food with a much higher bio avaiability. Its simply easier to digest. While those headaches are most likely a result of sugar detox, or a temporary electrolyte imbalance.

[@Idi.t]

The carnivore diet can cause negative effects like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, hydration issues from fluid loss, dizziness, fatigue and insomnia.
