    Ugh, I hate the carnivore diet folks because I have a really good friend that did it and actually lost a bunch of weight and got back to being much more healthy and spry. How do you gently bring up the long term crap that it can do without sounding like an ass as your friend gets happier and happier? Luckily he reintroduced vegetables at two months in, but I know of some idiots who don’t.

      So many of these diets boil down to cutting calories by cutting high calorie foods like carbs (especially sugars) and fats.

      Calorie counting is the only tool needed to lose weight.

      I’ve been skinny, muscular, and chubby all on a typical diet and again on a vegan diet.
