It is different for everyone though fwiw I feel light years better on the Saladino version than meat only I was meat only for 12 months and by the end — after I was significantly leaner — I felt horrible. Constant cramps heart skips and my blood work turned to trash (tris consistently in the 200s) I did everything I could. Insane amounts of salt. LMNT (electrolytes) multiple times a day and nothing was fixing it. Once I started incorporating fruit honey and raw milk I’ve felt SOOO much better and have been that way now for almost 18 months. Personally the meat only was not sustainable for me I started to feel bad once I got lean enough. My athletic performance is also way better now I think the meat only is a good tool to get lean and fix metabolic disease, but to thrive I’d disagree with you from experience that a lot of people wouldn’t benefit from fruit and honey.

What's your ultimate carb intake? How do you measure? I wish I could figure out a scientific way to approach this... I feel like regular carbs bring up inflammation pretty quickly in my body. Will have to watch this video and may e reset with a super strict only meat carnivore and then dabble with quantity of fruit. Been carnivore for 2.5ish years now.

Wont be the best answer but I just listen to my body. I try to do that in multiple ways though. For example, two fruits I cannot eat are strawberries and apples. Immediately when I eat them, they bloat me. I note this and just stay away from what I know isn't working for me. I'm also a 6'1 guy who is ~195 pounds and works out quite a bit. I eat about ~2 pounds of meat a day. If I am still hungry at the end of the day or I'm losing or gaining weight, that's another signal for me. My days usually work out something like this: fasted workout in the AM post workout: 2 bananas with a good amount of honey and a medium glass of raw milk lunch: 6 eggs with a half pound of beef (mix in liver here occasionally) I have a dessert with my lunch which is a bowl of frozen mangoes with a small glass of raw kefir (don't know why but this combo is delicious) Dinner: 1-1.5 pounds of steak if I'm still very hungry after this I add another small glass of kefir or a medium glass of raw milk then to finish I have a cup of hot bone broth (usually chicken but sometimes its beef) I stay away from fruit at night and usually keep it to the first half of the day. If I'm hungry or gaining weight, I usually only touch the carbs portion. The beef stays consistent. If I'm super gassy from the milk, I know that day I drank too much. Happens rarely, though.

That sounds like a delicious meal set up. Bloating is a big issue for me as well and breaking out. I recently double confirmed that apples do break me out... and pretty sure strawberries do too + other seed rich berries or fruit. Curious why avoid fruit in the evening? I think I'd heard from Dave Aspree prior to going carnivore when speaking of detrimental effects he'd experienced with going full keto and instead was encouraging cyclical ketosis to have fruit at night as dessert. I think due to potential energy decline during the day and taking one out of ketosis (not sure). Thank you, for sharing your exprience.

Just from the beef and the milk — I used to eat super fatter cuts but now I’ll maybe have a ribeye once a week and stick to leaner cuts like bistro and top sirloin I’m not keeping track of anything specific or counting macros
