 PSA: Carnivore diets, like any other restrictive diet, are stupid, especially if done constantly. 
 No pienso lo mismo 
 💯 You’re gonna hurt some feelings with this one 🤣🤣 
 Because it’s true. 😄 
 I was wondering wtf this carnivore diet means. If it's 100% meat... 🤦 People forget that we were hunter-gatherers since forever, we were never 100% vegans or 100% carnivores. We just go from one extreme to another, FFS. 
 Tell that to the people living in the Arctic circle. 😅 
 Generalizing from 0.0x% of the world's population is usually a weak argument. 
 Making blanket statements is stupid. That is all. 
 That’s a blanket statement sir. 
 One of my favourites. 😁 
 😄 
 Exactly. Human diet and it evolved over time is complex. There are simple solutions to complex problems but carnivore diet ain’t one 
 Where I'm from we almost never eat meat without a sauce full of veggies aside. 
 Yes! Diverse diet is best diet. Eating all the colors keeps you healthy. This is a priori knowledge 
 You right. We herbivvores. Look back teeth 
 I’d say omni but that includes your view to some degree I guess 
 I'm just being retard. We supposed to eat everything. Maybe not dairy. But I'm gonna crush milk personally 
 Problem is most of the food we consume we engineered over thousands of years. Hard to say which degree of artificiality is okay and which is not. It’s really complex. Milk is a great example 
 Lol, humans don't hunt with teeth. Our bodies are actually amazingly adapted for chasing, hunting and digesting animals.  
 Teeth prove we’re omnivores. 
 I actually wonder if there are any Italians on a carnivore diet. They are some of the masters of making amazing food with minimal meat, and typically with a ton of carbs.
Then there are the desserts. 😋 
 I can’t imagine it there might be… tragically 😄 
 Also just eating meat, missing out on those sauces, cooking methods etc. 
 Typical statement of the carb addict. I was there. What if you try it for 3 months and then you realize:

- You sleep better
- You have more energy in general
- Food cravings gone
- Your capacity of focusing increased 10x
- Your gut health improves. 90% less gasses with no odor

Would you consider that a "diet"? Feeling a lot better 24hours a day is not worth it for the "pleasure" of eating a pizza for 3 minutes? 

After getting rid of the addiction you won't think in pizza any more, and nothing beats the bite of a Ribeye.  
 Everyone who has tried something new has felt at least once "more energy" and "focused“ no matter what they tried. This is your body's response to novelty and stress. It's called habituation and stress response. By the way, people feel more energetic just before they die. Blow makes you feel more energetic too so I’ve heard. 
 You talk by theories you make up in your mind, and you can make an infinite amount of them all with some sense. 

To have a real opinion on anything you need to experiment it. Try it 3 months, then you can talk, Are you afraid? 
 Every theory is made up in a mind. 

How is your opinion on suicide btw? 
 Yes 
 I like you because you say what you think and I don't share your opinion 🫂 
 Agree with you
