Oxford Academic- Behavioral Characteristics and Self-reported Health Status Among 2029 Adults Consuming a “Carnivore Diet”
In a survey of over 2000 adults following a “carnivore diet” (i.e., one that aims to avoid plant foods), health benefits and satisfaction were generally reported.
Conclusions- Contrary to common expectations, adults consuming a carnivore diet experienced few adverse effects and instead reported health benefits and high satisfaction. Cardiovascular risk factors were variably affected. The generalizability of these findings and the long-term effects of this dietary pattern require further study.
I’m not surprised. Every vegan I’ve ever met was miserable, shrewish, and looked unhealthy. We were meant for a meat diet.
Vegans are meat-based carbon units.
How can they stand living!?
From the paper:
“…medical providers were perceived as supportive, neutral or unsupportive at generally similar proportions despite the discrepancy of the carnivore diets from dietary guidelines”
“…industrial-scale, commodity grain monoculture may also cause substantial environmental impacts and loss of wildlife”
Only academic intellectual idiots too dumb to understand how the real-world works would make statements like this.
“…A clearer understanding of the long-term safety and benefits of a carnivore diet, exact dietary habits of people following this diet, and the generalizability of our findings, must await additional research.”
Keep in mind that an objective of these idiots (whose salary comes from your tax dollars) is not to actually solve any problems.
“ Only academic intellectual idiots too dumb to understand how the real-world works would make statements like this.”
The trick is in the use of the verb “may”!
I’m a vegetarian, once removed.
Cows eat grass, I eat cows.
Theo, go back to your old name!
Yes dear….
Lol….
I do eat my share of meat…every meal.!
Vegans…not the brightest among humanity…by a long shot. Funny how Mankind survived for some 2-3million yrs eating ONLY MEAT..??
Hahaha! Good stuff!
Reminds me of how several months ago the NYC Michelin-starred restaurant Eleven Madison Park’s chef completely changed the restaurant’s menu and it’s now it’s an all-vegan tasting menu. Same price as the previous menu, which got him the 3 Michelin stars: $335 per person, and that doesn’t include beverages.
He wanted to do the same thing at a restaurant he runs which is located in a famous London hotel, Claridge’s, but the ownership declined, and their partnership is officially coming to an end at the end of the year. Obviously the hotel ownership took a look at what was happening at EMP, including the poor reviews, and also realized that instead of their guests visiting the restaurant, including as repeat guests, a good number of them would instead be walking out the doors to find other places to dine.
Ah but what you a forgetting is he has a secret private dining room that serves , guess what ?
All kinds of meat dishes and exotic ones at that.
Only for his very well heeled and connected clients.
A 2 class system.
Oh yeah, I did forget about that. My bad.
Vegans are handy to have around. Getting captured by cannibals you need something to offer up for your survival. The best part is that vegans will make sure you know they are such. No guessing required.
Now excuse me while I finish off this T-bone before it gets cold.
Talk about make work project for the idle well off.
“The generalizability of these findings and the long-term effects of this dietary pattern require further study.”
There is a history all the way to prehistory where people survived on the kill that they managed every few days, if they missed, they were hungry.
You gotta laugh at the excuses these people come up with to get well paid and in other cases doing their best to make eating of meat bad.
One suppose that there are all kinds of “experts”, though one would think that most of the “experts” are better not to be heard or known of.
You will notice that as the time goes on, the “experts” come up with utterly idiotic ideas, though the large body of experts will not comment lest they be called *:?! or any other such, take your pick.
Gotta add that they the “experts” are doing these and other useless things to get famous, a primary purpose of many.
There is some willful ignorance of the “experts” in fields to them unknown that is mostly common knowledge, in many cases by the very young and most definitely by the old.
Interestingly, there were studies done around 100 years ago, at Columbia University in New York if I remember correctly, where they took Greenland Eskimos used to eating 100% meat diet, and gave them a “typical” American diet. They all got sick but recovered when returned to all-meat. Then they took vegetarians from some place, changed them to a typical diet and same result, they got sick until returned to vegetarianism.
Primates, pigs, dogs, bears, weasels, and rodents are all adaptable between all-plant and all-meat diets, but the body (and its gut flora) becomes used to a certain diet at some point.
Historically when more meat was available in Europe the people became healthier, not the reverse.
Yes and the amount of work done increased due to the higher quality calorie diet.
“I promote an unusual diet that has allowed me to get off of over 10 medications and put my several, seemingly incurable, life-long diseases into complete remission. By the age of 22, I was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (age 7), depression (age 12), bipolar type II, idiopathic hypersomnia, Lyme disease, psoriasis, and dyshidrotic eczema. They’re all in remission with strict dietary adherence.
“I have a healthy daughter, I have my life back and I’ve seen hundreds of others have similar remissions. This lifestyle is centered around a diet consisting solely of beef, salt, and water supported with numerous health and wellness practices (some rather unorthodox). I tell my story to help people realize that they shouldn’t give up on their health, no matter how hopeless it may seem, and that it is their responsibility to fix themselves. Bodies have an amazing capacity to heal if we just let them, but figuring out how to do that and pursuing it is up to you.”
A variety of different food and in moderation. A lot easier to remember than fad diets.
Check out the diets of the people on My 600 lb Wife. Insane piles of greasy, fatty crap with cubic wads of carbohydrates to cram down as some sort of absorbent packing to keep the grease from backing up into their gullets. Not a piece of healthy green stuff in sight, just a seemingly endless calorie binge to fill a stomach as large a a gallon jug.
“Variety” and “moderation” sound good, but there is nothing more common than people trying to diet that way and failing. Multiple times.
In fact, carnivore is the easiest diet in many ways.
No stress over what is “moderation”, thinking you have to eat stuff you don’t like or resist the temptation to eat too much of any particular thing. Most carnivores find it easy to lose weight as natural satiety makes it easier to limit calorie intake.
Then there are those of us who find that many parts of the “variety” are not beneficial at all.
Why eat things that make you sick?
That report is something to chew on. Gnash, gnash, gnash !
What’s their beef!!! I don’t see a lot of vegetarians around the weight rooms, I guess.
Stereotype alert: No probably they’re dragging their butt around, out of energy, grazing for sustinence.
No, a carnivore is not a non-vegetarian, a vegetarian is a non-carnivore.
Tired of the word games and semantic switches.
Words can mean anything any fool wants them to.
