It is sort of ironic to speak on carnivore carb intake, which I guess moves the needle to some degree of keto, but I found this interesting. Several months ago I posted about a guy at the gym who went strict carnivore for several years. I am guessing he is late 50's/early 60's but he is jacked. He is strict carnivore six days a week but on Thursdays he eats a couple three sweet potatoes because Friday is higher weight/higher sets/higher weight/higher volume day in the gym. He uses the carbs for glycogen and fuel for the next days work. He said after going carnivore he felt some drop in performance/energy when doing burst type work. The all-day steady energy was present but if he went higher in intensity he felt some drain early on in the work and dialed salt and water and timed his meals and nothing seem to get him where he wanted to be/how he wanted to feel. He added the carbs one day a week before his big workout and it bridged that gap.

I thought it was an interesting concept and have thought about it myself but just not ready to rock the boat with my immune system health after going carnivore. With my luck the very carb I choose will be the one that triggered my auto-immune response way back when. LOL.

This is the first really pro-carnivore advocate to speak to the addition of carbs for sporting/workout energy expenditures. (others may be out there but most are not exactly pro-carnivore)

Good video.

Is This the End of Carnivore?
