haha, happened to me:

its copper deficency by zink overload.-

without copper, there is multiple things that go wrong. but it takes time to deplete copper stores. zink always wins against copper, and meat is full of zink.

vitamin c d, and iron wont work without copper.

I did that because I develeoped grain allergy, and was insuline resistant.

I eat grains again, but sparingly.

went down from 95 kilos to 65.

fun fact:

nobody talks about that. carnivore influencer dont, thats for sure.

Why is everything enjoyable a curse?!

Food wise? Oh that's easy.

Fats and salts, before agriculture and animal domestication, were hard to get a significant amount of in our diets, and the plants we foraged were usually much lower in starch and higher in fiber. Our bodies are geared to focus on these nutrient sources, so starches fats and salts taste really, really good.

Agriculture short circuited that focus as we produced and cultivated plants that were starchier, sugarier, and animals in general tripped our 'mmmm delicious' buttons much better than their uncultivated ancestors.

So basically it's REALLY easy in our modern diets to get WAY too much starch, salt, and fat because our appetites are geared by millions of years of evolution but we have only been agricultural for a hundred thousand years at the very most and our biology hasn't caught up.

So we take in a LOT more of the 'good stuff' that our body wants, and too much of anything is not good.

Hence the modern obesity epidemic and the rise of type 2 diabetes.

People like to whine it is a personal willpower problem, but it really isn't.

It's a food supply problem. 60% of the space in our grocery stores is just made up of various nutritionally empty configurations of starch, fat, and salt.

The word “carnivore influencer” just set me off haha.

It’s so fucking obvious is it that these people are paid by the meat industry.

Like, seriously. NOBODY has ever thought eating nothing but meat was a good idea until veganism became somewhat mainstream.

It’s reactionary bullshit to keep the profits coming.

I disagree. I think many of them are legitimately just that stupid.

Although some probably are paid.

I did that because of prediabetis, that worked. many people do it because they suffer. should have informed me about vitamins though. i did stop eating many vegtabls, because i suffered from migraines, and my skin burned, and my nose was always blocked. for that, it worked as well.

well, there is plenty folks from around earth that only eat meat. but they know what to eat ;-) and I think they eat fish as well.
