Introduction
The escalating prevalence of metabolic syndrome represents a critical public health issue. Emerging anecdotal evidence suggests that various dietary interventions, including carnivore, vegan, and standard American diets (SAD), may offer significant benefits. This study aims to rigorously evaluate these claims through a controlled, blinded, and comprehensive approach.
Objectives
Primary Objective: To compare the long-term effects of carnivore, vegan, and SAD on key metabolic health indicators. Secondary Objective: To ensure the integrity of dietary intervention data through strict monitoring of supplement intake and dietary compliance. Revised Methodology
Participant Recruitment and Grouping
Sample Size: 30,000 participants, equally divided into three diet groups, ensuring a 50/50 male-to-female ratio. Selection Criteria: Based on initial comprehensive bloodwork and basal metabolic rate, without regard to race or pre-existing health conditions. Group Assignment: Participants will be assigned to their diet groups based on their current dietary practices. Each dietary group will be assigned to three categories: Long term diet (5+ years), medium term diet (6+ months), and brand new to diet (starting for first time). Dietary Intervention and Control
Nutritional Oversight: Each diet group will have dedicated nutritional teams comprising two nutritionists, two doctors, and two registered dietitians who are advocates of their respective diets. Controlled Food Delivery: Collaborating with specialized food delivery services to ensure adherence to prescribed diets. Meal plans will be adjusted as needed, based on health feedback and participant preferences within diet constraints. Monitoring and Compliance: Participants will use a study-provided app for daily food logging. Weekly self-reports and periodic unannounced recalls will further ensure adherence. Supplement Monitoring Protocol
Baseline and Monthly Screening: Blood tests to detect unauthorized supplement use. Markers for common dietary supplements will be screened to ensure compliance with study dietary restrictions. Stool Sample Confirmation: Upon detection of potential supplement use, stool samples will be analyzed for confirmation. Participants confirmed to have used unauthorized supplements will be removed from the study, and their data will be expunged. Participant Agreement: All participants will sign an agreement acknowledging the study's dietary and supplement restrictions. Counseling will be provided to discuss the importance of adherence for the study's integrity. Health Monitoring and Data Collection
Health Assessments: Monthly health check-ups, including blood tests and biometric measurements, complemented by continuous glucose monitoring for real-time metabolic feedback. Ethical Safeguards: An independent data safety monitoring board (DSMB) will oversee participant health, with protocols in place for intervening in cases of health deterioration. Budget and Funding
An expanded budget will account for controlled food delivery, nutritional team compensation, health monitoring technology, and participant support services. Funding will be sought from unbiased sources, with transparency in financial disclosures. Ethical Considerations
Informed Consent: Detailed consent forms will explain the study's procedures, dietary interventions, and health monitoring protocols. Safety and Well-being: Continuous monitoring and immediate intervention for adverse health effects will prioritize participant safety. Impact and Significance
This study aims to fill critical gaps in our understanding of how distinct dietary patterns influence metabolic health. By employing a rigorous methodology, including controlled dietary interventions and strict supplement monitoring, the study will provide high-quality evidence to inform future dietary guidelines and public health recommendations.
Conclusion
Addressing the metabolic health crisis requires evidence-based dietary interventions. This study represents a significant step towards understanding the impacts of carnivore, vegan, and SAD on metabolic health, offering a blueprint for future nutritional research and public health policy.

I was just wondering if you looked into OwnYourLabs.com and compared their pricing with the particular labs you would like to run. That website offers extremely cheap pricing on blood work for most tests (although, Cystatin C was expensive so I went with UltaLabs for that one). OwnYourLabs.com works with LabCorp, so everyone can get their results online. These results could then be forwarded to you for compilation and analysis.

Oh I get that but I’ve just never heard of have to pay out of pocket to be a part of a study. Seriously, that sounds like a scam. I’m not saying it is but if I had gotten an email from some outfit I hadn’t heard of trying to solicit me to be part of a study to study me but I had to pay them for being a part of the study I would be very skeptical. It’s sounds just like something those overseas scammers come up with all the time. Yours may be legitimate and it may make sense to you because of lack of funding but it doesn’t make sense for me to be a part of it if I have to pay. I’m already a part of a study showing how carnivore has cured my Crohn’s disease and they didn’t ask for any money from me, just my medical records from my Gastroenterologist.
Like I said, I’m not accusing you of playing a scam but that’s exactly how scams sound.
I hope you get what you need for a good study and I hope it makes a difference. Good luck.

I’m absolutely interested and would really enjoy being a part of a study like that but I’m certainly not going to pay someone to use me in a study. That doesn’t make any sense to me.
