What’s interesting is a lot of doctors opinions or thought on carnivore in general. How can they say this way of eating isn’t healthy if there hasn’t been any real long term studies on it. Let alone, have a legitimate opinion without legit experience with the way of eating in general.
In a way it seems similar to the guys that say the .224/.243 calibers are unethical/incapable of effectively killing animals, without having personal experience killing with said caliber.
For the guys saying that you just need diet and exercise, I agree to a certain extent. However, before I went all in on carnivore, I had completely quit drinking and went the traditional diet route. Even in a caloric deficit, I still felt like garbage and weight stuck around. Granted I didn’t have a whole lot to lose in general but it still wasn’t close to the results or performance I knew I should have been obtaining. Carnivore changed that completely and I’ve never felt better.
I think this way of eating works better for some and is a beneficial thing to try. It’s not going to work for most but I sure as shit won’t take any health advice from some bitch tit, skinny fat, or obese doctor. Especially the ones pushing ozempic and other metrical weight loss drugs.
What the data supports is that people who go to extremes with their diet usually fail and revert. Carnivore would fit into that.
There is also a lot of data supporting the consumption of things not found in the carnivore diet, vegetables for example. A solid case supported by data could be made against the diet without having long studies on the diet specifically.
That said, you make a good point(s) about issues with medical advice but without understanding the context and having a longer conversation there is really no way to know what that MD was getting at. I'm also not anti carnivore, for the record.
