There are no cons for a carnivore diet. It's all good, highly nutritious diet with no substances that cause inflammation. Quick cooking. Quick bowel movements, one and done, no problems, no farting. Our body is made of saturated fats, and yet we are told to eat plants. Our hormones are made from fats, not carbohydrates.
@@onerider808 I started the carnivore diet for weight loss. I am 17 stone and I need to lose 19.6 kgs of fat. So I need to keep to the diet for 3-6 months.
I've tried both. I do much better on keto. Carnivore is too restrictive for me, especially since I am allergic to shellfish. I eat mostly meat with some occasional low glycemic level vegetables. Very rarely I will have berries and plain Greek yogurt. It's just more sustainable for me long term.
@@onerider808 Easy burn. Meat is not fast energy. It leave us satiated for many hours. I can have nearly 0.5kg steak (about 1 pound), sometimes even a bit more than that, plus two eggs ...and be happy with no meals for many hours. Sometimes I go almost 24h between meals.
Cholesterol is indeed a myth created many, many decades ago. ...a good analogy on how cholesterol became a bad thing is that if a building went down in that fire, the fault might be on the people found at the site at the time: The fireman! Yes, it's still relevant to look at the figures, because high LDL with low HDL is a clear sign something is very wrong on the food intake (typical, to much carbs/glucose as source of energy). Triglycerides is the really dangerous stuff.
@@OKMX5 Nope. Unfortunately I can't provide numbers. Maybe with a thorough research we can find some. However, I don't think the goal is to control the numbers, unless they're a requirement for health insurance - for that purpose we can "fix" the numbers by going for a plant based fat instead for a few weeks. In a very low carb or strict carnivore diet, those numbers are usually irrelevant because the HDL should be always high enough so that we can disregard the LDL. Cholesterol is not a danger by itself. Cholesterol is a requirement for our health and specifically as brain fuel. Some suspect the rise in cognitive diseases in old people comes from a life of anti-cholesterol drugs.
@@miks564 my LDL is 197 and HDL is 67. And it surprised me when you said that this is a sign of wrong food intake because I'm eating very clean, with all of my fats coming from eggs, beef, salmon, olive oil, cheese, milk and some nuts.
@@OKMX5 First of all, I'm not an expert, I'm just a curious guy forced to look into nutrition and cells biology due to health problems. I guess I was just another victim of Metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance). That said, I just don't look at cholesterol levels with a sugar free food intake like you're having. ...and looking at yours, we can see your HDL is still comfortably well above 50. I don't see bad cholesterol numbers. I believe you're LDL could be even higher without any problems. There are healthy people with a cholesterol total near 300. I also believe LDL is known as "bad cholesterol" because of the idea that the fat it transports is harmful. When in reality LDL is what transports the good fats all over our body for fuel (especially brain) and building blocks for whatever parts the body needing them. HDL is considered the good one, because it returns the excess or scraps back to the liver for recycling.
4:00 Fiber is needed *only* if you're eating plant based food and carbs. What's hard on the digestive system is plant base, not carnivore.
Keto is not hard for me. I'm basically following a carnivore diet with a few exceptions when I add a few veggies and sometimes also some fruit.
Keto is definitely harder than carnivore. Meat is easy to cook. Takes no though or prep at all.

I started the carnivore diet 3 days ago and my sleep apnea and snoring have gone.
I’ve been carnivore for years, am lean and muscular, and have 71 apneas per hour without the machine. Just saying. All humans are different.
Over 13 per hour is considered severe, BTW

Moving from ketovore to carnivore made no difference in my health, none!

Except for D, the body is able to produce all the vitamins it needs from the amino acids we get on a carnivore diet.
So go outside a lot
Burn that meat!

Can you define what numbers do you mean by high LDL and low HDL? What ratio?
@@OKMX5 Nope. Unfortunately I can't provide numbers. Maybe with a thorough research we can find some.

Milk and cheese are allowed on the carnivore diet and they contain carbs so you should not say carnivore is no carbs.
Apologies. I know a many people who do not "allow" dairy but that is not the "true" carnivore. You are absolutely correct!
