@Corporate Gigachad OP is so... not very good, I don't know where to start... but I'll at least try to counter a few key points.
>You could consider them the equivalent of cringe vegans, just that they eat meat instead.
No you can't. Veganism is a lifestyle where the main focus is animal welfare, carnivory is purely a diet where the main focus is optimal nutrition and health. Apple and orange.
It really shows how you really don't understand the subject.
>Liver King, Saladino
Neither of them is carniove, keto or even low-carb. LK is a paleo advocate grifter and Saladino is a sugar addict who fell from his grace.
It's disingenuous to bring up irrelevant people as if they are the prime representatives of the group. It's like treating Batista (eats meat) or Vegan Gains (literal retard) as a prime example of vegans, instead of guys like Russel Brand.
Just fyi, LK was laughed at right from the get go because it was painfully obvious he was ripping off Mark Sisson not to mention the roid physique, and Saladino has been totally shit on because dude is obsessed with consuming insane amount (200g, specifically) fructose which is the worst type carb that fattens the liver and glycate protein (ie promote aging) super fast.
>This may be because a strict carnivore diet is essentially an elimination diet, and so if a person has any sensitivities or allergies to gluten, soy, etc, their condition won’t be triggered, but it won’t be cured.
Remission is still better than no remission or endless medication which almost always involves side effects. What's your solution? Eating banana and pray to God?
>They’ll also claim that somehow, no matter how much animal fat you eat, it won’t cause issues with heart disease or anything.
Misrepresentation.
Their main claim is how elevated LDL (from SFA consumption) is associated but not causal to heart diseases.
Cholesterol are basically like firefighters, more firefighters doesn't necessarily mean there are more fires, especially when you can't see actual fires (inflammations, damaged tissues, actually clogged arteries, etc), that's the gist of the story.
I really recommend you to look into
recent studies. Not some random comments on the internet.
>It turns out eating high-fat, high-cholesterol and low fibre is generally not a good idea.
High fat consumption is indeed a bad idea when you eat high carb foods too due to
Randle cycle (which ultimately promotes inflammation), and currently available studies are based on observational (that's another can of worms but I digress) studies where they observe people who eat mixed macro diet. There is no evidence or even mechanical explanation why high fat is bad when carbs are absent/low.
As for dietary cholesterol, it's basically irrelevant because the body crap out the excess. If cholesterol is inherently bad, we should die from a stroke at young age because brain is mainly cholesterol. (cf
Dietary Cholesterol and the Lack of Evidence in Cardiovascular Disease, for how evidence is lacking)
As for fiber, constipation for low-carb eaters (which include vegetarians) eaters typically happens as a result of electrolyte imbalance. No or low carb => water excretion and electrolytes => loss of water in the gut. To counter this, you have to take enough electrolytes in the early stage, not just water. But lots of people don't do that because they believe salt is bad.
Also, don't you think it's strange
some people resolve constipation when they remove fiber from their diet.
Fyi, Humans are so poor at digesting fiber we don't even have a gorilla-like cecum. I really recommend you to look into how human digestive system works, compared to herbivorous animals or truly omnivorous animals (but not facultative carnivores like dogs).
Overall, I gotta say that's a very poor attempt of a hit piece. The lack of knowledge/understanding about nutrition and physiology is painfully obvious. Also, it feels almost malicious you brought up irrelevant people as if they are the prime examples.
It would be okay-ish if you remove your personal speculations and just focus on (self-claimed) carnivore lolcows' lolcow behaviors instead, but even then you failed to mention the biggest cow (Frank Tufano).
