 Some people handle them better than others, and your body can definitely survive in spite of some carbs. You’re just not optimized. My strength and tone 3x’d when I went from keto to like 98% carnivore. 
 Yea i agree some handle them better than others 
 Hence the ratio I've landed on, 
It works for me. 
 Yea I feel best in about that same ratio 
 I do fine without meat. I haven't eaten meat, or lard, meat broth etc since 1985, almost 40 years. I do eat dairy & pretty much anything healthy, loads of fresh vegetables & fruits, nuts, legumes, whole grains etc. Never been overweight, blood tests always good. Eating a variety of healthy foods is the best thing you can do for yourself (& exercise of course), just go to places like Italy and see how they eat. Food fads like the current carnivore stuff aren't going to work out long term for good health & will die out like all other diets/fads. 
 You have no idea what you’re talking about.
