  1. Oh, come on. EVERYONE knows that the way to good health is injecting the latest genetic slurry from your friends at Big Pharma. Follow the science will ya?

      1. Only the baby frogs, succulently raised on houseflies, gently killed and vacuum sealed …

      1. I’m a thigh man … or is it all drumstick? I just don’t know my way around an exoskeleton like I did in HS Biology …

  4. The only truly carniverous people I know of are the Eskimos, and they had to eat eyeballs and other rather unappetizing organs to get their trace elements and vitamins.
    Western “carnivores” need supplements to survive.
    If you need Harvard, or anyone else to tell you how to eat, you should just FOAD.

    1. They also ate a lot of raw meat, as cooking meat destroyed some essential nutrients like Vitamin C that in southern climes were provided by plants.

      1. Cooking veggies, on the other hand, releases nutrients that are otherwise unavailable.
        Did I say my favourite plant processor is a cow?

    2. Watch “Coffee with Scott Adams” YouTube. He has a sensible take on this ‘study’.

    3. YeahWell – Jordan Peterson claims his all beef diet not only cured the medical issues he, his wife and daughter had, but enhanced his concentration and reading /retention skills.
      Personally, I like carbs with my plate of vegans.

      1. It would be interesting to take a look at both his DNA and gut biome to see what markers he is missing that prevents him from digesting plant matter

  5. Rather simplistic study with little data relating to blood types, ethnicity, and environment. Picking ages as your study group is like picking a grade of children. Too non specific to be of any value. O blood types generally develop Type 2 diabetes due to eating crap and not enough meat based diets. Changing diet for them is a good idea and will dissipate diabetes. Type B is omnivore and a totally meat diet will harm and cause PH related ailments such as gout, arthritis, and cancer. Type A will also be harmed as not all blood types developed in meat rich environment. The dominant blood type on the planet is O+ (42%) with A+ (31%) and finally B+ at 15%. AB +is only 5% and the O, A, AB, and B negatives make up the other 7%.

    I recommend reading the book written by Dr. Adamo called eating Right For Your Blood Type. Not a conclusive book by any means, but it is a good starting point for ridding yourself of foods that have hampered you your whole life, and embracing some foods that will be very beneficial. Like always take everything with a grain of salt and apply your brain to everything you read.

    1. Can I still use that grain of salt, if I’m on a low salt diet?

      I also believe in eating what my ancestors ate … which are the French and the Swedish. So I can/should eat just about everything … even garden pests (with plenty of garlic). And both have very rich baking traditions … so I guess I’m screwed

      1. I’m A+ … and my ancestors ate lots o meat … and pickled herring … Mmmmmmm pickled herring. I feel much better when the carbs are trimmed way back. Not totally eliminated, because they DO provide quick, available energy.

    2. I’m blood type B-. My chronic gout and painful arthritis left within 1 month of eating carnivore. Now, when I introduce carbs of any kind except from leafy greens back into my diet, the arthritis comes roaring back in less than 24 hrs. It’s so not worth the cookie, in my view.

      1. Annie, but, but, the climate emergency. If people eat beef they may live longer, this increasing their carbon footprint!

  6. Sounds a little too good to be entirely true.

    Wi8thout seeing the study methodology, one wonders if the benefits came from the carnivore diet or from the avoidance of processed foods, for example.

    Let’s see how this gets reviewed by knowledgeable folks.

  7. 63 years old. 17 weeks carnivore. Down 70 pounds.
    Feeling like I’m 30 again.
    There is no need for supplements.
    Cheap and easy to follow.

  8. L – Canada has a food/health crisis and all we hear from gov’t. is cricketts!

    This war against human health is being wage by a military/corporate
    army led by General Foods.

    On our side we’ve got Kevin Bacon, General Bullmoose, and several
    divisions of Black and Red Angus, and some of those racist White-Faced
    Herefords.

  10. L – Canada is in a healthcare crisis and all we hear from gov’t. is cricketts!

    The munitions produced generate much war profiteering by the
    nefarious Carb Industry. Though the actual military strategy/tactics,
    originate with the the veteran Commander-in-Chef, General Foods.

    On our side, we’ve got Kevin Bacon, General Bullmoose and many
    divisions of *bagpipe playing Red and Black Angus, with flanking
    steaks provided by renegade, racist, white-faced Herefords.

    Tempered in the fires of battle, grill by grill, will the amino acids
    prove superior to the legions of glucose, sucrose, fructose and lactose?
    Lactose? Are those Jersey and Holsteins playing both sides?

  11. “A social media survey was conducted 30 March–24 June, 2020 among adults self-identifying as consuming a carnivore diet for ≥6 mo. ”
    Just a guess, but I’m betting not too many people who died during their stint on the carnivore diet ended up answering the survey. The dead people DID continue to vote Democrat, however.

  12. If I’m an Endocrinologist, I’m calling these researchers up the next day. If I’m a vegan Endocrinologist, I’m updating my resume.

  13. 8 weeks into Carnivore. Down 20 pounds. Feeling great. Cravings for simple carbs are nearly non existent.

  14. You can tell it’s Harvard because:

    “Our study does not address several important concerns related to consumption of an animal-based diet. Intensive animal production, typically with use of commodity grains and soy for feed, causes significant environmental harms and raises ethical issues about animal treatment.”

    Even here the Woke-ies demand tribute.

    On the bright side, the sample is mostly white people so my population group is covered. Yee haw!

    1. Participants included Males, Females, and four (4) Others.

      So……, Dogs? Cats? Aliens? Three-toes Sloths?

  15. It’s interesting to me that people who are skeptical about most things government rush to defence of the guidelines on nutrition. If you have a chronic medical condition and you choose to keep it sooner than try a different diet I don’t know what to say. People get personal about”my” high blood pressure or “my” diabetes.

  16. Sorry but I’m quite skeptical of this. Do we know what kind of diet, for example, the diabetics were on before the study? Anyone cutting out sugar and processed grains is going to see improvement regardless. Did they do a comparative study with people consuming a more balanced diet? I’m afraid this is probably nothing more than yet another fad diet where people see some superficial gains e.g. weight loss, but sacrifice things like essential nutrients to do so, and it’s not sustainable.

  17. Tried the Carnivore Diet for a bit. Had to quit. Most carnivores have a strong gamey taste.

  19. I’m a harf and harf Keto/Carnivore diet but certainly more on the carnivore end of things. It’s a game changer. Don’t believe me? I don’t care.

  20. Dietary changes doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I cycle through various eating styles, mostly based on seasons. In the fall, we hunt and have lots of fresh meat so low carb keto is easy. After the Christmas season of over-indulgeing in chocolate treats, it’s back to low carb keto. Spring starts the berry season. Summer and early fall is lots of fresh from my garden fruits, berries and vegetables.

    I fast about once a week and use an all protein diet to kickstart keto. Going carnivore for too long isn’t great for my digestive tract.

    The only thing I try to minimize is high carb foods…with allowances for potatoes now and then. Plus adding dark cocoa baking powder to coffee for my daily chocolate fix. Deprivation doesn’t work well over the long term, imo.

  22. They (the doctors) talk about glycemic index and glycemic loading (the lower the better) but they never mention that meat has zero of both. Find me another food that has zero of what ails you. One of the problems with the medical community is they hate meat – and not for health reasons. It’s all ideology.

    As a practicing diabetic I won’t stop my meds but I have reduced my carbo intake and my sugar levels have dropped dramatically. But no pizza? No pasta? No bread, potatoes or rice? It’s a tough road being a carnivore. And try travelling and eating only meat. The meat they serve in restaurants is garbage.

  23. The FDA nutrition guide is from the same politicized organization that said the Pfizer vaccine was safe and effective. Are you going to trust them?
    Watch the videos by Nina Teicholz and Dr Robert Lustig. I have been eating a no sugar, low carb, no processed food diet for over a year. I’ve lost weight and I’m alert all day long so I don’t need caffeine which in turn has lowered my blood pressure. Nuts, eggs and meats, particularly organ meats such as liver, are nutritionally rich so I eat some of each every day as well as fruits and veggies. I’ve also added fermented foods (kimchi or sauerkraut) and salmon to my diet. We’re omnivores, we need something from each food group.

  24. I’m 70 years of age. 6ft, weight ranges from 185-195 lbs. A1c is perfect. Cholesterol is perfect, Blood pressure optimal, (101-65-65) is a common reading. Due to IBS I am limited in the types of fruit and vegetables I can eat. Fruit: basically bananas. Nearly everything else triggers a gut evacuation. Vegetables: Not many that I like. Onions: IBS trigger. Tomatoes, bell peppers, carrots, cucumber, celery, kale, broccoli, zuchini are okay but I don’t have desire to eat them often so it is on and off. Eat too much carbs and sugar. Eat moderae amounts of meat. I wouldn’t try a Keto diet. I have an interesting lack of appetite issue. If I’m working I don’t get hungry so I’ll keep working and not regularly. I’ve been like that all my life. Occasionally I’ll have a sugar crash, and occasionally I’ll have Post prandial Hypotension which can be fun. I’m happy and healthy.

  26. My 2-cents’ worth. I went low/no carb one spring – murder and torture for me, I’ve been a breadaholic my whole life, and I don’t really like meat. Cheese ‘n eggs YEAH, and don’t really mind green leafy vegetables, with whatever passes for blue-cheese dressing (except green peppers, which go out the back faster than they went in the front – tip to the wise, green peppers are known to be the harshest of the bell peppers; and for me, red = good, orange ‘n yellow = not bad, green = $hit hemorrhage).

    I lost weight – BOY did I lose weight! ~70 pounds, a pound a day, no effort, no problem; and it wasn’t “water loss” because I’m a caffeine addict and I’m already as dehydrated as I can get without crumbling-away. Of course, when I got off the diet I put it all back on with interest. But there are three factors to the diet, that bedevilled me:

    1) boring as CR@P, especially if you don’t like meat all that much. Atkins, progenitor of the low-carb keto diet that bears his name, proclaimed “A 1,200 calories PER DAY advantage to my diet!” to which the Lancet, the UK’s medical journal, called BS; “the Atkins diet is merely so boring that people on it just don’t bother to eat.” That was very much my experience;

    2) no energy. None. I heard the experience of giving-up coffee described as “First, you sit and stare at the wall, and Second, that’s it because without coffee, life loses all meaning.” That’s sorta’ how I found keto, leading me to suspect that most of my energy comes from carbs;

    3) None of the above comments (and I read them all, seeking advice & wisdom) mention the out-of-control constipation I suffered – and I DO MEAN “suffered”. Was it just me? – well, I ain’t gonna’ trade my bread for metamucil; nope!

  27. The results here are not surprising. Many people do very well all carnivore. I do, although I’ve added modest portions of vegetables essentially as condiments. Going carnivore for a couple of months entirely eliminated the osteoarthritis pain I suffered for some 15 years and I ditched my orthotic for good now.

    The difficulty is separating what factors of carnivore drive the manifold benefits. Eliminating carbs that drive insulin into a secondary role to reduce blood sugar? Avoiding processed foods with nutrients not in evolutionary typical form? Epigenetic and other signalling benefits of BHB ketones? Taurine? Bio-available leucine? Raised NAD+ from mitochondrial rich cells with co nutrients? Lower deuterium? Cleaner burning fuel from animal fat, especially in heart cells? The added boost of ketones as efficient supplementary fuel? The list keeps getting longer.
