Hey lesw great quote. Yes bob geezy and orweller have helped me a great deal on some carnivore fundamentals. Ive purchased the big fat surprise and im halway through with it..interesting stuff. Our diets seem to be more concerned with politics rather than truth. I also purchased metabolic which ive been looking at for some time and will read that one next. Ive listend to a lot of robert lustig though . And thanks for the tip...herbs for purpose not food.

Thanks for the book recommendation orweller .i know robert lustig..i watched a 4 hr video of his 2 weeks ago and had the book in my cart and i will purchase that today and the big fat surprise...thanks for that bob. Thank you as well geezy for clearing up the nuts and seeds. I swear all of these misleading misdirecting information out there should be a crime. Ive heard reports of studies being paid off to change the findings in benefit of some food industries. Glad i found this forum and met you guys. Besides my heart and low energy giving me trouble which i have to say ive been feeling better since dropping all the fruits and veggies...i also have been driving for a living and had to stop for months becuase i went temporarily blind for a fee seconds while on the highway...my vision came back after a few minutes. But happened a few more times...ive always felt this strain in my eyes like it was going to happen again. So i stopped driving for a while. Eye doctor and cardiologist says my eyes look healthy and had nothing to do with my heart. The only thing that made me feel better was recently i stopped all the fruit and veggie smoothies i was having in the mornings and i stopped feeling light headed, faint,more energised. So by trial and error i know it was that but im not sure whether it was due to the fruit and veggies themselves or the pesticides which ive read that if you sanitize them there is still about 90% still present and that you can actually blend the actual fruit and use them as a pesticide. So do you guys use olive oil or advocado oil? They are technically seed oils correct? Or do you guys use only butter and tallows? Thanks again guys.

Hey again geezy...agreed on doctor ignorance. My cardiologist is a director for 20 years in a top hospital in ny and he never bothered to ask me about my diet nor exercise habits. Glad you have a good one. I have read somewhere that there is i legitimate findings that suggest red meat or saturated fats are bad. However i haven probably a dumb queation...are nuts considered seeds as well? Are those bad...also all grains including chia seeds and flax seeds? I was always curious that.

Thanks orweller, i say the same thing all the time..were on our own. Have no faith in doctors these days. And not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but i think they know what were supposed to eat for optimum health and keep that info out of our hands becuase sick people keep the economy going strong. Not to say that the doctors are evil but they are following governing mandates to stay in compliance to keep their licenses....ive realized theyre not skilled at healing people, theyre just following orders. Choosing a nutritional dicipline seems like choosing a religion these days, carnivore/keto/vegan ect...all have people selling them so well with all the science behind them in their reasoning and logic and each sounding solid so i guess we have to choose the one that sounds best and run with it since we dont have our own labs lol. Glad you mentioned some balance though becuase there seems to be a litnof nutrients you can only get from plants and fruit that help address some issues. I do thow that the steak and cutting my morning spinach smoothies has given me my energy back. Hoping my lab work dosent say otherwise.

Thanks for welcoming me guys and for taking the time to read and respond to my post and im glad you're making progress geezy. I currently have heart failure and the cardiologists have been telling me to stay far away from red meat from the beginning whichbwas about 5 years ago. Had a low injection fracture and made no progress with all the meds ive been prescribed. I stopped with the red meat except on occasions when i was diagnosed and stopped the fast food for the most part but was still eating some processed foods mostly becuase i was uneducated on diet. Since 6 months ago i made some progress, im guessing becuase i started a modified keto type diet and was fasting for 17/18 hrs normally and really cut the processed foods mostly except for maybe boiled potates or whole grain pastas once or twice a week. But all of a sudden was feeling lots of muscle weakness and tired often and thinking it was all of the fruit smoothies and veggies i was eating. Im thinking my progress may have had something to do with the lack of processed food i was digesting. Eating steak gave me my energy back almost instantly even though the doc says avoid it like the plague unkess its occasional and lean beef, so im hoping i dont do any damage with my experimenting. So here i am researching carnivore and becomimg a member to this helpful forum. Thanks again for responding and good health onto you guys.

Ive been reading and watching youtube videos on diets for optimal health and the more i research the more im confused...im sure a lot of people can relate...i have issues with the ticker and im trying to turn things around. Ive been looking at a lot of vegan, mediterranean, keto and carnivore. Was leaning towards trying vegan or mediteranian for a couple of months but started feeling weak and weird...been trying to be holistic but really like meat. Doc says no red meat..i dont believe him from all of my research. Started eating more beef and started feeling a bit better. I have a few questions becuase now im more confused. Can any experienced please chime in. Im starting to think the pesticides in fruits and veggies are more for us than pests. Maybe the sugars are a bit much also but idk. But what about the nutrients???im just really sceptical that humans are carnivors becuase of our teeth mostly, theyre so similar to coes and deer, primates which mostly eat fruits,veg grains. Can anybody make this make sense? I fast 16 - 18 hrs normally fyi and exercise regularly and trying to curb my drinking prob honestly...im human but looking for motivation. 1. What about all of the healing properties in fruits and veggies. Lies? 2. Herbs and spices? Becuase they're mostly from fruits and veggies? Lies? So herbalism is a scam? 3. Anybody here actually heal conditions on carnivore? 4. Anybody treating heart issues with carnivore? Results? 5. Looking at some posts was very discouraging. People eating bacon, waffles, sausages, lots of processed foods. How is that ok? Why go through the trouble to follow such a rigid diet and then eat junk regularly? What am i missing becuase i go to a diner and have french toast, eggs and bacon and was counting that as a bad meal day. Does carnivore really mean just have meat with your meal? Becuase ive been doing that forever and honestly ran into some issues. Please make me understand.
