[QUOTE="TestOneTwo, post: 179403, member: 40269"] All very valid points, most of which I learned from my own body. At this point I wouldn’t go as far as claiming that carnivore is going to be the holy grail for the rest of my life. I’ll be able to pass judgement after 3 months. As you said, for slimming down it’s probably great. For muscle maintenance or even increase I think a genetic component plays into it so it may or may not be useful for that. While I‘d never mind adding extra muscle mass, the truth is that an excess of calories heavy on carbs does indeed just that for me but my lipids start playing up and my insulin sensitivity goes south. It’s not pre diabetic yet but looking at bulking period values I could see it happen in 5 years down the line if I stick with high carb. When I was at my heaviest muscleswise I was also at the worst in terms of my blood values. That was a downer! That’s why I wanted to try it out for 3 months first. Labs as well as lifting results will give me insight into the effectiveness of carnivore diet - for me. The reports of well-being on such diet is compelling. But let’s see, hasn’t happened yet and by the looks of it it’s going to be an increase in meat consumption first without completely ditching everything else. [/QUOTE]
