    Oozing Cholesterol on the Carnivore Diet? Saturated Fat Overload?

    The news media is blaming the Carnivore Diet for a man from Tampa, Florida, who developed xanthelasma, a condition where yellowish, fatty deposits form under the skin. His alleged diet was admittedly extreme, which involved consuming 6-9 pounds of cheese on a daily basis, as well as multiple sticks of butter, and hamburgers with extra fat mixed in the minced meat. Apparently his cholesterol levels skyrocketed to over 1000 mg/dL, significantly higher than the normal level of less than 200 mg/dL2.

    Is this story true? Could other underlying conditions be at the root of his xanthelasma? Was he REALLY following a true carnivore diet? Is the carnivore diet safe and beneficial. We touch on all these questions and issues in this video.

      Welcome to Carnivore Talk James. We are glad to have you here.  I’m a jump right in kinda guy and even though I had a few bowel is in the beginning it was worth it to me. If I had tried to transition slowly I’d have never made it. It’s all or nothing for me.    I personally cut out all sweets. They just make your body want more because it senses that sugar hit coming and when it doesn’t happen it just keeps wanting more.  It’s my understanding that Allulose is a real sugar but the molecules are so large that the body cannot absorb them so they don’t cause an insulin spike.

      Thanks.  I gave up coffee for a long time (years?) after my cardiologist said I shouldn't drink it.  I became accustomed to not having it and it wasn't a big deal after awhile.  Then recently he told me that the research had changed and I could have a cup a day.  That made me happy since I do enjoy it and its effect. I started using off-the-shelf almond milk (1g carbs/0g sugar) for coffee instead of Coffee mate powdered non-dairy creamer (1g carbs/0g sugar), but the first ingredient is corn syrup solids - I would think there would be carbs in that. Doesn't a certain level of carb intake knock one out of ketosis? I'd like to be able to use some honey, but I may overdo it to achieve the degree of sweetness I like.

      I don't think there are any long term studies on monk or allulose sweeteners.  I don't drink coffee everyday myself. I find if I drink water and go do something instead of sitting around I don't feel the need. Are a certain amount of carbs ok? I'd answer by asking is a certain amount of air pollution ok? Yes we all eat carbs once in awhile. My wife has fruit in the fridge and I have a couple of grapes once in a great while. Since you live alone you're golden. Stuff yourself with fatty meats and see for yourself how carb and sugar cravings largely if not entirely go away.  To clarify my first post. I would say easing into the diet is anticipating complications which may not even occur, while at the same time leaving obstacle after obstacle that impede progress.  But I just have my own experience to go by.

      I hear you.  I may do just that. I haven't tried butter in coffee; I hope it's good. Is monk sweetener the "best" for carni if one wants a sweetener? Are a certain amount of carbs ok on carni? Is the ideal 0 carbs and 0 sugar?

      Although a lot of people advise easing into the diet, I didn't and didn't experience any negatives.  My view is why deal with all the keto menu decisions, cravings and lack of progress if they end up being unnecessary after all. Seems to me starting carni by not being carni could start off with frustration and possible failure. The only thing I held onto was milk and sugar in coffee, I now use butter and as little monk sweetener as necessary.  If you could start feeling  better when would you want to start?  Next week? Eat beef today!
