Interesting.
Like @Glass House I also tried a carnivore diet, and went from 100-110 kilos to 70 in three months.
Don't forget breaded meat.
I wonder if the short life span is due to something similar to what happens to offensive and defensive linemen in the NFL where they spend so much of their life eating high calorie diets that they never adjust and without the constant physical activity they just kill themselves with food post career.
Don’t mean to turn this into some weird diet discussion, so feel free to delete but… Diabetes is closely related to the blood sugar and carbs.
In theory the blood sugar and maybe even teeth brushing thing is real. There's evidence that the body's ability to balance sugar correctly is at least partly due to consequences of modernity such as frying things in polyunsaturated fats which oxidize and go rancid, ending up being terrible for you if not kept at a lower temp. As far as the teeth thing, the worst strains of bacteria for tooth decay and teeth problems in general feed off of sugars. All meat = basically no sugars = basically no tooth decay. No idea what the vision thing is though, seems like utter BS.
I really don't know where the elves are vegetarians bullshit comes from. They're known to be excellent hunters in Tolkien's lore, and they are known to eat the game and fish that they harvest.
He's the type to think that what he did immediately before is the cause. This is why the ice cream muffins he made before his last stroke are what he blames for it. Like the energy drinks he was slamming back were the cause of another one.
It's a later creation as they're supposed to be closer to nature and all that. So people started saying that elves were vegetarians.
Like Fapcop said, eliminating carbs and sugars puts your diet ahead in the game.
Following this diet is straightforward, but it's not exactly exciting; a diet solely centered on meat remains consistently eatable, yet it becomes monotonous quickly.
If your diet is strictly limited to meat and you only drink water, there's no necessity to brush your teeth.
Bingo, big part of it. Its just often easier on Carnivore, since protein and animal fats are incredibly filling, and we're pretty well optimized to subsist off them. Its difficult to overstuff on meat since it doesn't compress well, its difficult to be seriously nutritionally deficient with meat since it is quite literally all the building blocks of a body, and it'll keep you full all afternoon so you don't even have the option to eat 6 meals in a day, much less the desire.
High blood pressure can have negative effects on your vision, so there's some basis, but unless you were already borderline ok I doubt it'd be noticeable - especially since I'm pretty sure the long term damage isn't reversed by returning to normal pressures.
Vision also naturally changes. If you’re nearsighted, you’re likely to get less nearsighted as you age.
I cannot agree with this strongly enough. I kicked a soda habit in favor of sparkling water at a friends insistence, and over a few weeks the sparkling water went from tasting like mildly bitter disappointment to a flavorful treat. And now I legitimately cannot drink most of the soda's I used to drink, they're so sweet it makes me feel a bit ill. And that was just cutting the soda, not even a focus on all sugars. First week was absolutely miserable though, headaches and all.
Sorry to derail about Larry again, but I stumbled upon some community posts from him a couple weeks ago (right before Thanksgiving) and for whatever reason he's since deleted them. the post was basically saying "sorry for re-uploading old content but I was in an auto accident recently" and there was a picture of him in the hospital, he look pretty beat up from it. unfortunately this was the only receipt i could find about it from his "Budget Thanksgiving Dinner" video this year which is definitely a re-upload of an old video:
I kicked soda cold turkey for about a month. I now occasionally get a soda, but only when I'm out. No more soda sitting in the fridge all the time. I would end up drinking two or three a day that I didn't even need or really want. Even changing nothing else that probably took off about 20 pounds.
He'll just use it as an excuse to eat more meat while still drowning it in sugar-laden sauces and loading up on carbs in general, completely defeating the whole purpose of the diet, kind of like he did with KEEEEEEEEto.
I legit talk about tabletop games as a hobby, so I can state firmly that it was not 5e that did this, though their decision to interpret "shapechanging creator deity" as genderfluid is just as braindead as looking at an Orc and calling them a black person analogue since you equate them as creatures of destruction and rape. Sadly not the thread for this one though.
