That guy is a fake carnivore. I personally wouldn't take health advice from anyone who pretends to be a carnivore. They have no idea what they're actually talking about. If you want to be "carnivore" you need to eat probiotics made from meat. That means fermented/rotted/pickled etc. meats. That's how you populate your digestive system with the right microbes to break down raw meat. And if you are cooking the meat. And you also want to be eating a bunch of marine mammals and fish. You look at any indigenous people that primarily eat meat, look at where they live and what kind of meat they actually eat. Don't trust western doctors in general, but if they're selling fake fad diets like he is, don't trust them even more.
Curious about why you've been doing raw then. He actually confirms in this video that cooking eggs helps you absorb more of the protein than eating them raw. Not trying to be critical so much as understand what your motivation for going raw here is. I'm not a total scare monger on salmonella and have definitely been known to eat the occasional raw cookie dough or play fast and loose with my oyakodon preparation, but chugging a dozen raw eggs daily just seems like playing gastrointestinal russian roulette without an obvious upside, especially given the absorption issues.
Funny how many people here think youโ€™d get a salmonella infection from eating raw eggs. If you eat properlyโ€”animal-based, raw, and fattyโ€”youโ€™ll have stomach acid so strong that no pathogens can survive in it! If our ancestors had been as susceptible to disease as most people are today, we would have gone extinct long ago!
I eat all whole foods. Clean and simple. Meat and veggies. Lots of chicken, hardboiled eggs, and fish. Eat mainly within a 4 hr period each day whilst completing various 2-3 day fast throughout the month. Drink a superfiods mix. I don't really get hungry, could probably easily go a week. 2000 to 3000 cal a day Tons of energy sleep is 6-7 hrs and feels decent. Not sure I have a problem with sleep but I feel good. Shredded.
Steak and eggs is good for weightloss. Not a sustainable diet long term. The fat from the egg yoke is why you feel more energised, fat is better for more sustained exercise while sugars are better for more intense exercise, so if youre not doing a lot of cardio fat is typically better for energy, quitting coffee is why your sleep and focus improved.
Incorrect. Consumption of sugar is not a requirement for human nutrition and it is not a requirement for intense exercise. Im fact, many on carnivorous diets find themselves perfectly capable of intensive exercise; they even seem preform better than those on omnivorous or plant based individuals. What is a requirement is glucose for your muscles to even fire and work properly in the first place. Believe it or not, human beings have this thing called gluconeogenesis and it's very efficient at producing and recycling glucose for our body. Ergo, we do not need to eat carbs because our body efficiently makes a sufficient amount given whatever the task may be. This includes activities like resistance training, sprinting, walking, gesturing with your hands, typing, etc. Any and every movement your muscles do has it's supply of glucose through gluconeogenesis. It's even happening even if you eat carbs.
I agree with The Epic. I've been a carnivore for 7 years and an OMAD carnivore for 2.5 years, and I'm in by far the best shape of my life. I get virtually zero sugar, carbs, or fiber, and I train hard 5 days a week, 90 minutes a day. I'm 54 years old. You don't need sugar for workouts. You don't need anything for workouts. Your body properly fuels itself with fat. I do all workouts fasted, including strength, agility, and muscular endurance training. People repeat things they hear instead of putting in the work. They don't try things for themselves. I settled on OMAD carnivore after a lifetime of testing every nutrition and fitness scheme imaginable. I know for a fact what works and what doesn't because I've lived it. I implore people to stop listening to 'experts' and try things themselves. It's incredibly empowering anytime you can prove to yourself what the truth is. Be your own scientist.
