Reverse Aging on a Controversial Diet

Articles like this just tick me off. They don’t detail the study so there’s no way of knowing how it was conducted or what biases there may be and most of those “studies” are far from scientific. 
Then the article, like so many of them, puts out some positive information but turns right around and has to put out a caveat of lies.  
Gee, let’s not bother to actually show the real studies that show that cholesterol isn’t a factor in cardiovascular health and that meat is so nutritionally dense that we get all of the nutrients we need for proper health. 

None of us are guaranteed a certain amount of days 

Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. James 4:14 ESV

So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12 ESV
 

What’s important is that we fuel our bodies with the most nutritious food possible and refrain from eating anything that we shouldn’t so that we can obtain optimal heath and our bodies will take care of everything else. 
 

I have no idea if by eating carnivore that I will live longer, there may just be too much damage, but I do know how good I feel and I will enjoy what life I have left feeling good. Beats being miserable. 
When I started being a carnivore I was 66 years old and felt like I was 86 just waiting to die in misery. 
Today I’m 68 and feel like I’m 48 with a life and future ahead of me.

    The last paragraph is absolutely golden. I have only been on Carnivore for just shy of 11 months. I have some bloodwork that says I am healthier. I have stopped taking some medicines that were needed prior to carnivore. I have lost a bunch of weight with minimal effort. And above all that I know I feel better than I did 11 months ago. Will this current way of eating prolong my life, maybe, maybe not, but from this point to that point I feel like I will feel better than if I had stayed my previous course.

    I also agree with the validity of some studies which are based on questionnaires and unfounded comments. I think that happens on both sides of any debate. Most of the time the funding plays too big of a role in how a study ends up. We had this very conversation at work last week. I was in the minority with our Engineers and science crowd.

    A couple threw some analogies on me from their viewpoint so I tossed this one back out there as we talked carnivore vs. non-carnivore.

    If I tie a brick to your foot and push you in deep water, you will struggle to stay afloat. If I tie a second brick to your foot you will submerge, fight like mad to get some air, submerge and fight your way up for the next breath. 

    Most everything gives to 'time under tension'. If we have problems we put for the effort and a certain amount of effort over a certain amount of time can solve a problem. Time under tension. Works both in a positive light and in a negative light. Time under tension is the key to most everything we do,

    If that first brick is the dumpster trash diet the bodily is greatly affected, and if that second brick is the amount of time a person ate the trash diet that is time under tension.

    Then,  I hand you an ink pen and you sink to the bottom and drown. Can I say based on my current study if you hold an ink pen while swimming you will drown? A lot of studies will not factor that into studies so either side can be right. One group can say the time under tension caused him to drown and the other group can actually say an ink pen while swimming will indeed cause drowning. 

    And whatever side spends the most money is what the general public is then fed.

    Funny how science can work sometimes.

    • March Motivation Challenge! - Enter to WIN!

      "Marching into March with Much Motivation"

      For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol. 

       

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. 

      The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

      Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.

    • February Fasting Challenge - Enter to WIN!

      Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!

      For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).

      An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner. 

      If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol. 

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing.

    • "World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!

      Today is the first day of January and is also the first day of World Carnivore Month. To that end, let's challenge ourselves to eat a carnivore diet for the entire month of January. The type of carnivore diet and the level of strictness you choose to do is entirely up to you. Examples of carnivore diets include the following... 1) The Lion Diet. A person eating the Lion Diet only consumes the flesh of ruminant animals, water, and salt. 2) The BBBE Diet. BBBE is an acronym for Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs.  3) The Carnivore Diet. This allows for the consumption of any and all animals and animal by-products, including dairy.  In any of the above examples, the object of course is to not consume any plants as part of your diet. Of course, we're not going to micromanage hoe you prepare your food, so your use of seasonings is entirely your own personal choice. IF your circumstances don't allow you to go full on carnivore in January, then you can participate in this topic by challenge yourself to do better, above and beyond what you have been doing. For example, if you have still been eating grains, seed oils, refined sugar, or drinking alcohol, challenge yourself to avoid these items and just eat a clean, single ingredient whole foods diet such as clean keto, ketovore, or animal based.  We encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk.  Participants in this topic will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the month.
