Entry #1
As I restart my life in the Carnivore space, I am 216 pounds, and I am miserable. I have really bad joint pain, to the point where my left knee feels like it's about to explode. So I'm very eager to get back to doing things right.
I'm restarting the diet mid-afternoon on April 21st, 2025.
My diet will consist of only these dozen items:
+ bacon (with no added sugar)
+ butter (the real Kerry Gold stuff; not the fake "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" soybean oil)
+ chicken (canned Swanson)
+ cheese (Sargento sharp cheddar slices)
+ coffee (it's a neurotoxic devil that's full of tannins, I know)
+ eggs (pastured whenever possible)
+ ground beef (as close to 75% lean / 25% fat as I can get)
+ heavy whipping cream (for my coffee)
+ salt (Redmond's) {add this to your food; salt to taste; do NOT add any plant-toxin spices to your food; so, Dale's is off the menu!}
+ sardines (only King Oscar brand)
+ steak (mostly the cheap ones)
+ water
The only space that I recommend we occupy is the one known as Carnivore.
There are lesser versions of this same thing, and they are known as Keto, Ketovore, HFLC (high-fat / low-carb). What's wrong with these other approaches, is that they have a little something wrong with them, namely they allow into the body a Trojan horse: toxic plant compounds. We're always going to have at least a few problems if we don't eliminate plants, 100%. Plants make us sick by irritating our gut lining with their defensive compounds and by using these same compounds to bind our nutrients, thereby robbing us of their nutritional benefits.
See, animals can run and fight in an effort to get away from our turning them into food. But plants are fixed to the ground, so they can't defend themselves in that same way. However, that doesn't mean that they're defenseless. Over tens of thousands of years, they have developed ways of protecting themselves from the likes of us.
Plants do this by making us sick when we eat them.
Here's a list of 11 toxic compounds found in the plants we eat:
- gluten (wheat [bread, cakes, cookies pasta], rye, barley [beer], and anything battered; including potatoes, fish, and most processed foods)
- glycoalkaloids (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers)
- goitrogens (brussel sprouts, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, peanuts, bok choy, broccoli, spinach, strawberries, sweet potatoes, lima beans)
- lectins (beans, peas, soybeans, peanuts)
- mycotoxins (found on moldy cereals, dried fruits, nuts, and spices)
- oxalates (spinach, nuts, cocoa, tea; cause kidney stones by binding with calcium)
- phytates (wheat, oats, brown rice, barley, rye, corn, quinoa, beans, peas, nuts, seeds, spinach, potatoes)
- phytoestrogens (soybeans and all related products, flaxseeds, chickpeas, beans, wheat, rye, oats, barley, brown rice, peaches, berries, broccoli, cabbage, seeds, nuts, garlic, green tea, olive oil; all of these mimic estrogen in the body, which is a very bad thing)
- pyrrolizidine alkaloids (herbal teas, honey, cereals, herbs, and spices; acutely toxic and carcinogenic)
- saponins (beans, asparagus, garlic, spinach, onions, oats, quinoa, tea, red wine)
- tannins (wine, beer, tea, coffee, cider and fruit juices, grapes, apples, pears, berries, peaches, plums, pomegranates, chocolate, cocoa, cinnamon, cumin, thyme, vanilla, beans, peas)
Animals contain none of these defensive compounds.
Why are we eating plants in the first place?
Here's the reason...
Agriculture was invented to feed the growing numbers of us... so that we might all survive. But "survive" and "thrive" are two totally different things.
There weren't always massive numbers of us.
Before the last ice age, there were only about 4 million humans on the entire planet. Now, we're at 8.2 billion. That's 2,000 times more people. That's a 200,000% increase! That boggles the mind more than the mind is capable of being boggled!
I have a thought experiment for you...
Do you think that we can afford to feed all of these 8.2 billion people with beef from a cow?
Do you think that we can grow enough cows?
No, we absolutely cannot!
That's why "the powers that be" have come up with these really cheap ways of feeding us (beans, rice, potatoes, sugar, and wheat). And then they keep the cool stuff (steak, bacon, butter, and eggs) for themselves. And they do this by telling us that the cool stuff is bad for us. Pretty damn slick of these fuckers, right?
If we all switched to the proper human diet tomorrow, chaos would ensue and starvation would soon follow. So, this paints a rather bleak picture of our future, a problem that can only be solved if we figure out a way, in a laboratory, to grow meat rapidly, and then scale this process up to industrial production.
The current sicko system has been designed to keep us all weak and needing to go to the doctor, where we buy more drugs to alleviate some of the symptoms caused by the plant toxins and overeating.
Overeating...
The big food companies have researched and developed this thing called the bliss point. It is the tastiest combination of fat, salt, and sugar. We get such a dopamine hit in the pleasure center of our brains that we become instantly addicted to this stuff. But almost everything about these foods is deadly. They are ultra-processed to the point where they are just food-like chemicals; they contain truly harmful plant oils that are rancid; and they are loaded with deadly doses of cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup, which is where obesity and diabetes come from.
When we eat Carnivore, we cease going to the doctor. We no longer need prescription drugs to keep us from being depressed. We no longer need statins for our heart. We no longer need metformin for our diabetes. Why? Because all of those ailments resolve. The health problems go away. And we suddenly find ourselves in uncharted territory: feeling amazing!
