 It's really an elimination diet. The strict version is fresh beef & water only.

You'd then add other meats, dairy, etc to see how you reacted. Some folks can't even stomach dairy or aged meats initially.

I don't know what specifically you disagreed with me on & I'm not keen for an argument.

You are more than your diet or health condition.

 Honestly I'm still extremely pissed off that my diet created my Ulcerative Colitis, I went through 2 colonoscopies, had a 4 day ER visit that required a blood transfusion due to anemia, then had multiple follow up visits with a doctor who told me that I would always have this condition & require Humira injections for the rest of my life & that there is no other way to manage it.

All because the truth of our food and nutrition is being nefariously obfuscated from us & my own personal journey to get to where I'm at today with Lion Diet, required hours and hours of needing to go down a ton of different rabbitholes to land where I'm at today.

Most people with my condition don't even have a clue so if we can make it easier for people to find the answers they need, instead of obfuscating it even more with incorrect terminologies, I believe we can help more people get to the places they need to be with their diets.

 I've said that carnivore is like a course in nutrition. About what your body needs & doesn't.

I deliberately avoid plant fibre, partly because of people I've known with UC & partly from Ray Peat . People get so caught up on the fibre lie.

My comment is more about becoming the condition or the diet. About identifying with them.

I understand the desire to communicate precisely. Language is a protocol.

I'm a maxi but it's not part of my identity. It's not who I am but I understand the meaning. Am I a Bitcoiner? - yeah it is part who I am. I guess I'm going to have to reflect on that 🤷
