The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7, ESV)
What do you fear?
Now the term fear in this Proverb is speaking of a reverential awe and admiring, submissive fear is foundational for all spiritual knowledge and wisdom. It’s a humbleness that brings one to search for the truth and those who choose not to humbly seek out the truth will cast out those truths and in so doing be seen as fools.
So, how can we apply this to ourselves in our daily journey in the carnivore lifestyle?
I think it’s quite simple, educate ourselves in the truths that are carnivore.
Do the research. Read the studies. Several people on this forum post some really good studies that bear reading. Read the books that support our lifestyle and tell the truth about the pharmaceutical and big food industry. The more you know, the wiser you will be and the more confident you will be and that confidence will push out the fears and doubt that you may have about this WOE.
One of the things I see a lot of fear in people about who are keto/carnivore is high cholesterol. The evidence is there that shows that we’ve been lied to for a long time and that high cholesterol has nothing to do with cardiovascular disease. I was on a statin for years until I learned the truth about statins and high cholesterol so now I no longer have any fear about cholesterol because I’m now wiser in that knowledge.
We can have a genuine fear in that we are too afraid to help ourselves or we can have a reverent fear of seeking the truth so that we can take care of these bodies that the good Lord gave us.
