SAMA HOOLE: If you're eating lean cuts, you're not doing carnivore. You're doing protein poisoning with extra steps. Carnivore requires 70%+ calories from fat. Why? Because protein without fat is toxic beyond 200-250g daily. Your liver can't process it.

If you're eating lean cuts, you're not doing carnivore. You're doing protein poisoning with extra steps. Carnivore requires 70%+ calories from fat. Why? Because protein without fat is toxic beyond 200-250g daily. Your liver can't process it. Fat provides energy without metabolic stress. Fat carries fat-soluble vitamins. Fat triggers satiety. Fat stabilises hormones. This is why ground beef (20% fat) works. This is why ribeye works. Chicken breast doesn't work. Turkey doesn't work. Tuna doesn't work. Because none of them have anywhere near enough fat. Traditional cultures prioritised fat above protein for a reason. Don't make your ancestors' solved problem your mistake.
