I agree, it definitely can get expensive. It has definitely taught me how to bargain shop. I’m like an expert level sale shopper now. I’m actually spending less on food now than before going mostly carnivore. I’ve always eaten a protein rich diet though since working out has been a part of my life since I was 13, so I’ve always spent a good amount of money each week on meat.
But couldn’t disagree more in regards to micronutrients. There’s no beneficial micronutrients that we can get from plants, nuts, seeds, legumes, etc., that we can’t get from animal products, small amounts of seasonal fruit, and also honey. U can get all ur micronutrient needs from animal products, some seasonal fruits, and honey, without the anti nutrients and plant defense chemicals wreaking havoc in the body. Animal products, some seasonal fruit, and honey, give everything u need, without the things u don’t need, that’s why it’s such a successful diet for people with health issues. Giving ur body what it needs to function properly is obv extremely important, which red meat does in spades, but the real magic is avoiding inflammatory foods, that people have no clue are inflammatory. I only see it becoming more popular, due to its high success rate at treating most chronic diseases, in a world where chronic disease is on the rise. The truth always comes to light. All carnivore is doing is exposing all the issues with eating so many so called “healthy foods”. Knowledge always comes forth eventually. So it’s impossible for carnivore to go away. It can only become more popular. Simple math. People that learn about the harm most foods do will never unlearn this info, and new people are learning this info all the time. So simple math says that only more people will learn about why carnivore is so beneficial to overall health, and anyone that knows this information, I would assume would have a hard time putting things into their body that they now know are harmful to them. But of course there’s going to be outliers that have this knowledge, and choose to still eat in a way that makes them happy, not necessarily in a way that promotes health and longevity.
It’s actually been extremely fascinating learning about this way of eating, and why all these different foods, especially plants/ veggies cause so many problems for humans when ingested on a regular basis. I know u’d actually really enjoy the process of learning about all these things about food that most people have no idea about. As a man that loves to constantly learn, I know u’ll eventually take the time to deep dive into all the reasons why carnivore is so beneficial, in regards to healing chronic diseases/ issues, but now is obv not that time. Which I respect obv. But I predict that once more people adopt this way of eating, and more people are curing long term chronic issues, and it becomes impossible to ignore anymore, u’ll get sucked in lol. Mostly because ur clearly someone that is into health/ longevity, and there’s nothing I’ve ever seen that promotes this more than eating mainly meat, and other animal products, and avoiding all the foods that are causing issues behind the scenes that people have no clue about. But at this current time, obv we have to agree to disagree. But I guarantee that in ur lifetime, u’ll eventually take on a more carnivore style of eating, especially as u get older and are at higher risk for getting inflammatory chronic conditions, or worse, end up getting those conditions instead of preventing them. But again, I just want people to eat whichever way makes them the happiest. But ur a man that loves knowledge and learning, and loves health and longevity, so it’s a no brainer that u will eventually dig into the research on why carnivore is so beneficial, and will get sucked in, mark my words lol.
