Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it’s good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.

I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.

Please tell me how I am the asshole :)

    And what will it do to a person?

    In her case, it made her physically weak, she had trouble thinking, and she became irritable and unreasonable. Basically physically, mentally, and emotionally it made her worse.

    I mean it does make sense to me. Your body needs energy to function and getting it from complex carbohydrates is a standard way and it’s going to struggle if it doesn’t have that available. As I understand it, the no-carb diets are sort of well known to produce that kind of impact, although I can definitely believe that there could be people who are having a bad reaction to some particular substance that they’re eating so that cutting out all carbs entirely will give them a good result because they’re also not being exposed to that substance, I don’t think that kind of thing is in general a good thing for the average healthy person to do.

      Interesting weakness and brain fog.

      There is no physiological need for carbohydrates. https://hackertalks.com/post/8957737 - Confronting myths: relative and absolute requirements of dietary carbohydrates and glucose as metabolic fuels. - 2024

      I wonder what your friends total nutritional intake looked like. The literature, and my personal experience, show that ketogenic metabolism is sustainable without issue for both metabolically unwell people as well as athletes.

      During the fat adaptation phase there is something called “keto flu” where people who don’t adjust electrolytes can have low energy and headaches (insulin goes down, kidneys don’t retain as many electrolytes) for a few weeks.

      Here is a great textbook on the subject: - Ketogenic : The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health it’s on the normal pirate sites.

      Anyway, going back to the start of this thread - I hope you see that the carnivore community doesn’t exist to troll anybody and we are earnest with our intentions.

            It’s definitionally only an ad hominem if my argument consists of personal insults/attacks. The comment you’re responding to is insulting the quality of your sources, not you, and the quality of your sources is verifiably dogshit. Swing and a miss lol

                I’m accurately pointing out that you’re a deliberate liar engaged in a campaign to disseminate dangerous medical misinformation, the fact that the official rules fail to prohibit such behavior means nothing to me, you deserve worse
