I feel heard! To be fair, I wasn't recommending it to you, just sharing my story. I know you do research before making a decision like this.

For anyone else reading, don't turn this diet (or anything else) into dogma. Be scientific.

My plan was to start at a baseline elimination diet to heal, then slowly reintroduce new foods and measure how my body reacted to them.

I am no longer strictly carnivore and have reintegrated new foods after methodically testing them.

My long-term plan is to eventually identify all the vegetables I can eat and settle on a diet that I know works for my body chemistry. Mostly because I miss vegetables; I was the kid who liked broccoli.

I'll be giving this more attention when I leave the US later this year because I'm curious how the change in food ecosystem will impact things.

I've met people who were intolerant to certain foods, then realized they were fine with them once they left Western countries. Something something Big Food.

"My plan was to start at a baseline elimination diet to heal, then slowly reintroduce new foods and measure how my body reacted to them." - That's wise advice. It's just not ever advice I hear from carnivore folks.

It's ridiculous, they're almost as bad as MGTOWs.

Now that's a funny thought: A carnivore MGTOW. How miserable that conversation would be.
