I had an autoimmune flare up when going from keto to carnivore-ish. Since I put pepper on my meat I was eating a lot more pepper. It was the pepper that caused the flare up, not the extra meat or less plants. Dumped the pepper and the flare up immediately turned around. I'd bet a lot it's a plant she was still eating that caused that skin issue, not the meat.

High enough my cardiologist told me diet will not fix it. But like all my doctors he wants me to stay with my diet because of the results of 4 to 5 pounds lost a month. Lets call it 85 pounds lost so far. A keto Carnivore has been the easiest diet for me to maintain. I honestly don't miss the fruit, bread, or convivence foods so there is that.

[@rokusaburo6257]

In my opinion, and from experience, the want for variety is basically just that, it is a want, and this is fostered through people having the wrong beliefs of what a proper human diet is, or having difficulty in shifting that mindset. Generally, I believe that if a certain food is causing you issues, then you should avoid it, you may be able to take in small amounts of it in the future once you have recovered, as the issues caused by the food previously may have been built up over a long period of time. In short, re-consumption of foods that may have caused you issues in the past may be fine in the beginning, but over time I believe it will bring back the same issues again as the small build ups are not apparent in the beginning.

What are the two tests you referred to at 24:43 ? I’m guessing CAC is one and maybe CIMT the other? Neither is readily available near me. I drive several hours to get a CAC scan. I would like to get CIMT ultrasound done but don’t know how to go about it. My doctor wants me to have an invasive angiogram. I would rather not have a catheterization. And I’m concerned about my carotid artery health. My cardiologist will certainly just want to do the usual nuclear stress test.

I for some reason get very bad acid reflux when adding back starchy stuff like burger or rice but onions, cabbage or spinach does not do any harm. Does it mean that I can never have carbs again?

[@JoyfulDuck-zp5wg]

It doesn't matter how many nutrients vegetables and fruit has. Oh, and grains. How much can you absorb? Very little with oxalates, lectins, phytates, etc. Please, someone tell me how many anti-nutrients are in good quality meat products?

[@gerrywaneck377]

Bruising easily and receding gums are due to Vitamin C deficiency. Ascorbic acid is essential for collagen crosslinking by hydroxyproline, which is essential for healthy connective tissue. This is a common deficiency of a strict carnivore diet.

[@jksinorbit]

Depends which version of carnivore. Any version that includes dairy and you will need to supplement vit C because of the carbs in dairy.

[@gerrywaneck377]

@@jksinorbit I did say strict carnivore, but I don't understand why dairy makes a difference. Especially dairy like butter and cheese.

[@jksinorbit]

@@gerrywaneck377 any amount of carb will increase your need for vit C. If you are only meat salt and water you're getting enough, albeit small amounts of vit C in the meat

[@Isaac5123]

No yr wrong. It certainly is vitamin c but not ascorbic acid. Stay away from this

[@gerrywaneck377]

@@jksinorbit That's the first I've heard that carbs increase one's need for Vit.C over meat alone. Do you have a reference/link to this subject? I'm a retired biochemist, and I'm trying to understand metabolic syndrome and diabetes in light of new research on ketogenic diets - of which 'carnivore' is a subset. As you said, there are small amounts of C in meat. Do you cook/smoke the meat? Is it processed meat, like sausage/bacon? These processes destroys what little Vit.C there is. And there are other minerals besides pure salt (NaCl) that one needs to be healthy. I get essential nutrients and minerals from eating fresh whole fruit and veggies. These are mostly the only carbs that I eat. My diet is rich in meat/eggs/cheese - everything freshly prepared. I do intermittent fasting to burn off the carbs, and shift into ketosis (fat burning). I'm 76, and still in good health except for osteoarthritis, which runs in my family. I've been on this diet for over a year, and it's made a difference in the way I feel (energy levels).

[@nieuweabnormaal5869]

Maybe the rash were the last cry for help of bacteria or fungus that there are no carbs anymore. "Luckily" carbs went back in the menu and the bacteria or fungi were happy again and went underground. The more carbs, the more palmitic acid (that is the really bad saturated fat) becomes, the body makes saturated fat from the carbs, but it makes the dangerous version. Better eat the healthy saturated fats. They always say saturated fat is bad or good. Acetic acid is good, but also saturated. There are big differences between every saturated acid.Propionic acid is bad for the brain cells for example. Butyric acid is good again, so we went from C2 to C4 and seeing already big differences.
