A diet which literally no humans have ever followed voluntarily before the 21st century (absolutely all people who lived where edible plants grew ate plants).

Yes, you can survive off animal products alone.
If you eat all the icky parts, too.
No one knows what that does to your life expectancy, though. That was pretty irrelevant for stone age arctic cave dwellers, as long as they managed to reproduce when they were 16.

And no, that’s not in any way a sensible diet for the time we live in right now.

The “I’m a carnivore” people are always who you expect. People who try really hard to appear badass while at the same time are triggered by vegetarians and vegans

This diet idea is stupid, and OH BY THE WAY it’s why I can’t take you seriously if you use the word “carnist” unironically for us omnivores.

Avoid pretty much any fad diet. Stick with current best practices, in conjunction with your physician.

Best practices do change, and there’s still going to be manipulation of it all by people with an axe to grind, but it’s still going to average out as better as long as you actually pay attention to current best practices.

Yeah, that also means your have to pay attention to the reliability of education and certification of doctors, but you should also be doing that anyway.

There is no clinical evidence that the carnivore diet provides any health benefits

Contradiction -

Stopping or reducing dietary fiber intake reduces constipation and its associated symptoms

CONCLUSION: Idiopathic constipation and its associated symptoms can be effectively reduced by stopping or even lowering the intake of dietary fiber.

This was a 6 month study focused on constipation, not human health in general, but this is a clinical study (evidence) that shows a health benefit (constipation) using a carnivore diet.

∴ ∃ clinical evidence that the carnivore diet provides some health benefits.

If you want to have a constructive dialog about the current state of literature, I welcome people to join this thread on the health of carnivore diet https://hackertalks.com/post/5815565

I have written up my philosophy on going carnivore https://hackertalks.com/post/5730540 (TLDR, you probably will get the same results just doing LCHF and not going to carnivore)

Wow, even the LSD guy was in on it. Talk about not getting high on your own supply.

Owsley Stanley ate a carnivorous diet for over fifty years, until he died in 2011.

From at least the mid-1960s until his death, Stanley practiced and advocated an all-meat diet, believing that humans are naturally carnivorous. He argued that rare red meat was a complete food and that a diet of such is optimal for human health and longevity. He held many radical opinions on biology and nutrition. He argued that the body could not store protein or fat as adipose tissue, but would instead be simply excreted if consumed in excess, and that only consumption of carbohydrates and sugars could make someone obese. He also theorized that diabetes was not technically a disease but actually the term for the damage wrought by insulin, and that adopting a zero carb diet would treat this so-called disease.
