My diet for the past 30 years .... No seed oil no processed foods low (not zero) carbs)

Wise choices. Few individuals realize that seed oils, as well as sugar and many unhealthy chemicals, which are added to "enhance flavors" and extend shelf life (think trans fats and other preservatives) are present in almost all hghly processed food, including bread.

Seed oils are 8ndustrial products which cannot be made non-poisonous and are used over and over in the prepartion of most foods in restaurants., especially fried chicken and French fries. Calling the latter "fresh fries" only indicates they tasted better at the moment they were served, not that they could be considered healthy in any way or even fit for human consumption.

I think I'll stick to my omnivore diet which I have practiced for more than 70 years.
Note the importance of algae consumption among the Inuit studied to obtain vitamin C

What I hate about eggs is how they always stick to the pan no matter what I do. Expensive new non stick pan, tons of olive oil, doesn't matter they stick and make a huge mess

double rinse your pan so there's no possibility of soap residue. Heat the pan. THEN add your butter/oil to the hot pan. Put the eggs in and let them set up some before attempting to move them.

I've never heard of this diet, but it would probably make a nutritionist go pale in the face.

Dr. Ken Berry uploaded a video yesterday that is focused on the advice 'dietitians" give to their patients/clients who have been diagnosed with type two diabetes:

Five years ago I had a number of symptoms of type two diabetes, including visceral fat and man boobs, as well as rapidly increasing tingling/numbness in my feet. I had adema in my right foot and lower leg. I had fungus in the nail bed of my right big toe that had been present for more than twenty years.

I had already stopped consuming alcohol five years earlier. I stopped eating bread and pasta and cut out everything with added sugar after an Argentine friend of mine who is several years younger than me had a below the knee amputation.

Is it possible? Anything is possible. People in Haiti are eating pies made out of mud.

Is this your way of implying that the carnivore diet is, in any way, comparable to (or as absurd as) eating mud pies as a source of nutrition?

Is it healthy? Depends on your predispositions & current health state.

The carnivore diet is considered by the medical doctors who advocate it to be the most healthy diet possible for humans, the most important reason being the fact that red meat is the most healing food that humans can consume.

Eggs are high in cholesterol. Are you already at risk for heart disease?

Medical doctors I respect assert that eating eggs, especially the yolks. even though they are "high in cholesterol" does not increase the risk of heat disease.

Beef intake is highly correlated to colon cancer risks. Do you have genetic cancer markers in your family?

Where are you going to get your vitamins/minerals/antioxidants?

I am getting them from red meat, eggs, and butter (which I resumed eating about a month ago after deciding to eliminate olive oil).


The claims that eating red meat can cause colon cancer and eating eggs can cause heart disease appear to be the top two "claims" of the processed food industry (the same industry that created the food pyramid).

IMO, a balanced low carb diet with moderate exercise should be sufficient to lose whatever weight you want without resorting to such an extreme diet.

I did not begin the carnivore diet to lose weight or "save" (aka "spend less") money. I did it to "save" (aka "add more time") to my life. Losing more than 25 pounds and being able to wear the same size clothes I wore when I was seventeen has been a completely unexpected but most welcome side effect.

PS; Here's a recent video by Dr. Berry with great Q & A:

The claims that eating red meat can cause colon cancer and eating eggs can cause heart disease appear to be the top two "claims" of the processed food industry (the same industry that created the food pyramid.

Red meat and eggs were at the very bottom of the food chart promoted by the NIH for many years. That chart was easy to find online fairly recently, but it did not appear in food chart images I searched for this morning

If I remember correctly, dry breakfast cereal and canned peaches were both ranked well above red meat and eggs on the chart.

Even if there is now a new chart from the NIH, it's doubtful that red mrat amd eggs are any higher on it today, and equally doubtful that tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of profesional nutritionists and diet consultants have significantly changed their beliefs or the advice they provide regarding the consumption of red meat and eggs (especially the yolks).
