Scott F. replied to Leon's topic in Introduce Yourself & Welcome to the Tribe!

Welcome to the community. I started the carnivore diet with my only knowledge being 'only eat meat and only drink water'. The 'not knowing' and 'damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead' approach made it to where I learned a few things the hard way. I wish I had found this group first, prepped some things, learned some things and then said, 'damn the torpedoes.... It is a great place to read and learn and when you share, it is much appreciated. Good luck. Scott

Leon replied to Leon's topic in Introduce Yourself & Welcome to the Tribe!

Thanks Bob, just been having a tough time figuring out what is happening. Well I am going to get kidneys checked. Get every test possible and start this carnivore diet. Appreciate all the replies. First time joining a group. It’s good to hear people stories and walks. Get a better understanding of things.

Bob replied to Vini's topic in Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, & Low-Carb Support

Silly me should have read the entire thread before responding to just your initial post, @Vini Having very little fluid left in the lungs after only one week is a meaningful early win! Awesome! Your eggs, liver, and 5-MTHF supplement are already at work and bringing much positive results! Choosing the active form was a smart move (synthetic folic acid requires conversion and some individuals have issues with it). That is interesting. But you did say you were strict Lion for 3+ years. Your gut may have become sensitive to anything else (at first). You may also have inflammation or gut irritation as folate status improved, now your body is less stressed now that the severe deficiency is beginning to correct. I would take this as a lesson learned and not return to a strict lion diet. I firmly believe in eating the "rainbow" of meats on a carnivore diet to make sure you are getting everything you need when it comes to nutrients.

Bob replied to Vini's topic in Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, & Low-Carb Support

What you describe is a medical emergency. I'm assuming you've been to a doctor already about this if you are aware that you have severe anemia, know your hemoglobin, and know you have liquid in the lungs. Severe folate deficiency can produce megaloblastic anemia that progresses exactly this way (high-output heart failure). Your medical professionals should be able to give you high-dose folate and investigate potential contributors like B12, iron, absorption issues, etc. Are they working to stabilize you? You are correct. Muscle-meat-only is going to be low in folate. You'll never meet your RDA of folate this way. Liver is the concentrated source (beef liver is good but chicken liver is much higher. I wouldn't add 150g per day though, because yes, copper toxicity (and vitamin A toxicity) is a real concern. Other folate sources that are carnivore friendly include eggs with the yolks, cheeses, milk and yogurt, fish row or caviar, and certain shellfish. I would include these in addition to some 30g-60g of liver a few times a week. It can be viable for some people for years, but it is higher-risk and less reliably complete than broader animal-based approaches. Folate is the clearest long-term gap. However, there are individuals who live this muscle-meat only approach for years and remain stable, and most people low in folate do not develop megaloblastic anemia + high-output heart failure. And yes, there could be a genetic component that you have that others do not (for example, people with reduced MTHFR activity already convert and utilize folate less efficiently). The Lion Diet functions best as a strict elimination tool (weeks to months, sometimes longer) to identify triggers. Low folate on a pure muscle meat diet is a real issue that some people encounter after years. Mikhaila Peterson had to start incorporating liver after 5 years when she learned she was folate deficient. At the time, deficiency is not universal and many people are fine. There's just various potential roles at play here. Most importantly is your health. I would be very pro-active about getting treatment if I were you.
