Carnivore Club

I'm breaking my fast with 1000 grams of raw mince. 
Usually, I'll have cooked mince but I wanted to get a reaction from the "lovely intelligent people" on TikTok and youtube shorts. 
Safe to say, it's gone somewhat viral. 

I thought it was hippie pseudo-science when I first heard about it if I'm honest but then again when I first heard of carnivore I thought the same thing.
It seems to be a real thing with some decent science behind it, such as: 
"The effects of grounding (earthing) on inflammation, the immune response, wound healing, and prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4378297/
I was so amazed by what I read there that I just had to make a mini post here and on my blog about it. 
Their hypothesis: "Our main hypothesis is that connecting the body to the Earth enables free electrons from the Earth’s surface to spread over and into the body, where they can have antioxidant effects. Specifically, we suggest that mobile electrons create an antioxidant microenvironment around the injury repair field, slowing or preventing reactive oxygen species (ROS) delivered by the oxidative burst from causing “collateral damage” to healthy tissue, and preventing or reducing the formation of the so-called “inflammatory barricade”
There seems to be plenty of other scientific research done around it as well, not just that one study.
It seems to be a... a GROUND-breaking field :).
 

There is enough vitamin C in meat.
You only need a very tiny amount IF you aren't shoving carbohydrates down your throat. 
Vitamin C and Glucose compete for uptake into the cells and so by eating carbs, which, by the way, all turn into glucose will significantly increase the requirement for vitamin C.
It's not an issue on carnivore.

Thanks guys.
Yes, Professor Bart Kay is amazing. His knowledge is unlike any other carnivore influencer.
This is true. However, he recently has toned down the aggressiveness mostly due to the youtube algorithm not pushing his videos. He is pretty chill in the livestreams to be honest and like you say he plays a hilarious character. I recently subbed to his paid-membership plan because he is such a vast wealth of knowledge.
 

Hey, my name is Jamie, I've been on the carnivore diet for about 3 years now.
I was keto before that for about three months after eating about 15 doughnuts in a row and suffering from the biggest cramp EVER. After that, I studied the keto diet and learned about the science. Ketosis, gluconeogenesis all that good stuff.
Since starting the carnivore diet, I've gained a vast wealth of knowledge regarding the carnivore diet/keto due to watching Professor Bart Kay and so now I'm spreading the message, since, of course, the mainstream narrative is carbs are essential for health. Even our UK government says a person between the ages of 19 - 65 MUST get at least 333 grams of carbs per day to be healthy...
Pure insanity.

I'm eating my own body fat today due to the fact that I am fasting. Cheers for the food pics though 😂

If you eat too much salt your kidneys will filter it out. That is one of their most important jobs after all. Salt will never cause inflammation, if it did we wouldn't have survived as a species. 
Salt to your heart's content, my friend. Not eating fibre will cause you to have less waste ergo less number 2's.

500g mince meat patties with tons of cheese melted on top. Sadly no pic as it was gone before I knew it.

Welcome Jamie, hello from Bristol! 👋

There is a good amount of scientific research being done on the effects of grounding yourself to the earth. 
Here are a few of the purported effects:
Increased wound healing.
An immediate drop in blood pressure. 
It's really quite fascinating stuff. 
Here's a video by Bart Kay who explains it in 5 minutes and more clearly than I ever could:

This makes sense and is a great move tbh. 
I've seen it on other forums, not diet-related ones but the chatgpt ai responses are clear as day and they usually are shilling some affiliate link.

Cool! Look forward to hearing more about your journey.

Welcome Jamie. From reading some of your other posts I can see that you have some good knowledge to share.

I'll have some liver maybe once every few months.
It's not required at all.
and as others have mentioned copper toxicity and hypervitaminosis A will cause massive issues.
