Not bad at all and they are very small because your body is using almost everything you put in it |
Glucose literally feeds...all cells. Protein and fat calories are converted into glucose by the body. Have fun with your eating disorder |
Um..No. lol |
I read research that high protein intake (1.34 g/kg) may mess up kidney function. Also, no fiber probably not good for intestines. |
Some people don’t like science. They do like elaborate eating patterns to mask their inability to control their intake. They also get the benefit of poor energy system use. ***** Yes, glucose is the body's primary metabolic fuel. Glucose, also known as blood sugar, is a sugar molecule that comes from carbohydrates and proteins that are broken down from the food we eat. It's transported through the blood to tissues that need energy, where it undergoes biochemical reactions to release adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP fuels nearly every process in the body that requires energy. When the body doesn't need glucose for energy, it stores it in the liver and muscles as glycogen, which is made up of many connected glucose molecules. When the body needs a quick energy boost or isn't getting glucose from food, glycogen is broken down to release glucose into the bloodstream If the brain doesn't get enough glucose, it can cause brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or mood changes. |
Low or no fat diet also causes brain fog. Fat is more important for the brain and body than glucose. Many vitamins are fat soluble (A, E, D) and our hormones need fat. You can survive without carbs but can’t survive without fat or protein |
I grow up on a 90% grain diet and required midafternoon nap my whole youth, I also had brain fog after a few hours of intense work/studying. Now I eat 33% of every macro and feel happier, energetic and smart at mid age. |
If you’re scarfing down meat and cheese all day, sure. The kidneys would no doubt be affected by protein overload. But that’s now how the carnivore diet is supposed to be done. The idea is to be one or two meals a day add intermittent fast with carnivore. You won’t need to eat so much throughout the day and you won’t feel hungry once you eliminate sugar from your diet. The idea is oatmeal or pancakes for breakfast will make a person hungrier than eggs or meat. |
Is to eat one or two meals a day and* intermittent fast |
You are welcome to add a serving of fruit, few nuts if you are truly hungry. The idea is to reduce sugar and carb but it’s not so extreme you must pick 300g of carb a day vs 0g of carb a day. Without grains, potato and extra fruits, my macro is consistent with 150g of carb, and that’s 120g above keto threshold. That leaves plenty of room for fatty meats to come in (12-14oz per day which is a lot for a woman). |
Most of the carnivore will drink hot chocolate with real cocoa for dessert or real dark chocolate. It’s bitter but it’s also very sweet once you cut off all other sugars |
Eating too much red meat increases your chances of diabetes. |
And I'm sure the “studies” that determined that controlled for whatever else the participants were eating in addition to the red meat… ![]() Unprocessed, whole meats consumed in reasonable amounts don’t lead to diabetes or make anyone overweight. You can blame our carbohydrate/sugar-laden diets for that. |
The carnivore diet is ridiculous and limiting. I happen to agree regarding carbs which is why I limit my intake except for a cheat day once every few weeks, I do OMAD, but I don't cut out every single food group save one or two. I cannot imagine sitting there eating just meat/fish, tallow/butter/cream and eggs. What a miserable way to eat. |
I cannot stand these clowns and they’re all over Insta ranting, about glucose and cortisol etc. most of them are grifters. |
