So one of the things I love to do is go to a mainstream subreddit and use what I call the Trojan horse strategy.

I act like an innocent naive person and ask a seemingly normal question and slap some truth in there but not in a way that will get the post nuked.

Why?

Because it gets people thinking and the reach of these massive subreddits are insane.

You can't go in all guns blazing or they will 100% remove your post.

I get a good laugh at the comments but sometimes the urge to correct the misinformation is strong but I must resist.

This is the latest post I made.

Wow.

So painful to read some of the comments too:

Being on carnivore for 5+ years is both a blessing and a curse because of the sheer propaganda at work on the masses.

The post currently has almost 2k views so even if 10% start thinking about fat and protein being the only two essential macronutrients then that's 200 people who will hopefully ponder about it more and potentially find carnivore.

Worth it any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

PS: Some of these comments are amazing ideas for YouTube shorts vids as well.

I think anytime something can start a conversation it can be beneficial.

I am not a nutrition/diet expert, nor am I a doctor or any sorts and by no means a professional of any kind. But, with that said, it is amazing that someone as dumb as me can look up facts and learn. I have read more in the two years of carnivore than I did in the previous 25 years.

I doubt I ever put much thought into 'essentials' of any kind. For the longest my 'essentials' were Mountain Dew, Little Debbie cakes and pretty much a dumpster diet on top of the daily kick start of sugar and trash.

I doubt I would have ever entered into a debate, but I am sure my 'belief' system would have been closer to theirs than my current thinking.

Most of the time the comments are better than the articles/questions. Quite entertaining.

Very clever and I like your style.

Asking questions, especially when you know the correct answers can reveal the ignorance of the other person.

I get a lot of pushback when I post on Quora but it’s totally expected when the majority of people are brainwashed and really have no idea about what they are defending.

Ah yeah quora is great but I got banned for spam :/

Tbf tho I did copy a lot my Facebook posts over there and it was a new account so in hindsight it probably wasn't best to do that.

Oof! Indeed it was. The reddit may be called /noStupidQuestions, but oh my goodness look at all the stupid answers, lol

I've been banned from one of the Carnivore subreddits for saying my trigs went up on Carnivore. The purists refused to believe I was truly a carnivore (because most people's trigs go down) and so they banned me claiming I was a troll and not really someone on a carnivore diet.

I sometimes try to discreetly help someone in the Weight Loss Advice subreddits, but as soon as it becomes clear that I am advocating keto or carnivore I get downvoted something terrible.
