I would be surprised if this woe works for most people, i have to say. there's always outliers, and if it works for her then fine, but to eat completely meat only seems very unlikely.
I assure you, it is quite a healthy way to eat. Why wouldn't it be? And what do you mean by "works"?I would be surprised if this woe works for most people, i have to say. there's always outliers, and if it works for her then fine, but to eat completely meat only seems very unlikely.

I wasn't specifically referring to bowel cancer, more to the question of how to get enough vitanutrients.It depends on whether or not you choose to believe the links to bowel cancer.

I'm sure @NoCrbs4Me has similar studies in Canada, or links to the UK NHS to have read it previously.
It's also been in the UK Daily Mail on and off.
In fact , it was mentioned (not red meat specifically, but casting the net wider) in a recent study.

I'm just giving my opinion. I think it's extreme. But if that's how you want to eat go for it. I just feel you would struggle to meet your vitanutrient requirements from meat alone. How would you get enough electrolytes for instance?
Sorry, I think "works" is a little vague and could mean different things. Many people eat this way and many have done it for many years (without supplements) and maintained excellent, even optimal, health. The short answer is that meat has all the nutrients a human needs. I certainly don't have an electrolyte deficiency or any other micro- or macronutrient deficiency that I'm aware of.I think we know what the word means.

I don't think this thread is about a ketogenic diet, though. "Zero carb" means no plant derived food - i.e. meat (beef, poultry, sheep, etc).and seafood only. So the term "zero carb" is not to be taken literally, as there are some carbs in animal derived food. Of course, zero carb is likely to be a ketogenic diet, but that's not really the purpose of the diet.For reasons unknown, my body has adjusted to a ketogenic lifestyle with only positives. I do not take any supplements or need them. My health has improved so much and all the tests done since starting including a full blood panel showed no vitamin deficiency or effects from my diet. I do eat different proteins and I believe I get quite a few from salad vegetables.
I suppose I have found my balance of protein and other foods that are just right for me.
As long as my pancreas behaves, I will be around for some time!
I wouldn't be if I wasn't in ketosis!
True - not enough fat I think?Odd fact
Doesn't 'work' if you eat exclusively rabbit meat though.

Protein poisoning? Can you explain?Yes, very lean meat, protein poisoning.
