A randomized trial comparing the Lion Diet, keto, and a waitlist group is recruiting people with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or rheumatoid arthritis. About 160 participants planned. The Lion Diet arm is ruminant meat, salt, and water. Stricter than how I eat. I've been carnivore about 3.5 years, and I keep dairy. My ulcerative colitis is in histological remission, confirmed by a negative biopsy. As far as I'm concerned, it's cured. This study hasn't produced results yet. I want to see what it finds. More information can be found here... https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07524244 https://fullerresearch.org/lion-diet-rct

You’ve mentioned liver enzymes and fatty liver a couple times now. Which dietary approaches have you seen improve or worsen them, and what does the evidence actually show for low-carb or carnivore-style eating on those markers? Or are you just saying we should look at evidence in general?

You said portion size matters when it comes to red meat and cancer. How, exactly? Is there a dose-response relationship in the studies you’re thinking of, or is this just the usual ‘everything in moderation’ line? Which papers are you referring to?

Wow, what a view! That scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. I looked up the height of the Niesen, which is 7749 ft. That's taller than anything we have here in the Appalachian mountain range in the Eastern U.S. (the west has the Rockies, and they get super tall over there). Climbing all the way to the top of the Niesen is no joke. And yet you did it without carbs, lol 😝

Hey Jeremy. lol, you had me going for a second with the 9th language! Ah, got it 👍 Your English comes across pretty good, even though I could tell it's not your first language. And I like the idea of trying to read articles without translating them as way to learn it.

New Study Challenges What We've Been Told About Saturated FatWe've been told for decades that eating too much saturated fat raises cholesterol and puts our hearts at risk. But a newly published analysis of a two-year Norwegian clinical trial is raising some interesting questions about that familiar advice. The CARBFUNC trial followed adults assigned to three different diets, including a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet designed to provide a whopping 75% of calories from fat, with approximately 30% coming from saturated fat! And the cholesterol results? Well, they might surprise you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oosb1LwnNNk While LDL cholesterol increased, researchers also observed some remarkable differences in other cardiovascular risk markers: 🥩 Triglycerides decreased. ❤️ HDL cholesterol increased. 📉 Remnant cholesterol and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins decreased. 🔬 ApoB did not show a statistically significant increase within the low-carb group. So what does this mean? Have we been looking at saturated fat and cholesterol through the wrong lens? Should LDL cholesterol alone determine how we judge a diet, or is there more to the story? Tonight on Carnivore Talk Monday Night Live, Bob and Geoff examine the findings of this new research, what they could mean for the keto and carnivore communities, and what the study does—and doesn't—tell us about cardiovascular health. And as always, this isn't just about what WE think. We want to hear from YOU! Have your cholesterol numbers changed since starting carnivore or keto? Have your triglycerides improved? Has your doctor questioned your diet because of your LDL cholesterol? Join us in the live chat, or come up on screen and share your experiences, opinions, and questions! 🔴 LIVE EVERY MONDAY 🕗 8:00 PM Eastern / 7:00 PM Central 📚 Research discussed: Lipid dynamics and cardiovascular risk profiles on carbohydrate- or saturated fat-based diets: secondary analysis of the CARBFUNC trial Published in eBioMedicine, October 2026. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ebiom.2026.106524 You are precious.

I think @jr1776 was being funny, because in his post entitled "My Journey [LONG POST]" in the Introductions forum he went from keto, then ditched the veggies, and went full carnivore. I'm also guessing English isn't his other tongue.

Just one small serving of ultra-processed food a day linked to higher disease risk, major study finds

Hey, Jeremy! Don't apologize for the long post — We appreciate you taking the time to write all that out. Going from hospital canes to "a beast in carnivore" is quite the turnaround. Sounds like you spent a long stretch treating food as something you had to earn and then paid for it. Glad to hear you’re now able to eat in the 3k range and feel like an athlete again. The joint issues clearing up once you dropped the plants is pretty common. With regards to training, the desire to do more now that you feel better is normal, but the history you described is exactly you should still work up to your goals gradually. Keep the strength work, bring the race walking back in slowly, and let the extra food do some of the work for a bit before you start chasing bigger numbers. You made it through the miserable phase without leaning on the autism as a reason to quit. Keep doing what you're doing. 👍

Hey Mary! A CAC score of ZERO — that's fantastic news! Awesome! :) There's nothing more reassuring than a big ZERO on your CAC, lol It's cool that your PCP is on board with holding off on the statin. I'll eventually get around to getting my own CAC score. I'm just lazy and want to spend my time doing other things, lol. And glad to hear you're up for a Northeastern Ohio meetup. I'll put some thought into it and come up with a plan.

Oooh this could make a good Monday Live Stream topic. Awesome! Thanks for sharing this! It's always nice to see the research that is in harmony with what we've learned and come to know. Saturated fat has been the villain for decades, so any study that pushes back on that narrative is worth saving and sharing with others.
