Well, that’s a big change.
A formerly vegan influencer revealed to her fans that she spent 30 days eating nothing but meat and animal products. She also revealed that the new diet had some surprisingly positive effects on her health.
Alyse Parker, who has over 200K Instagram followers and over 700K Youtube subscribers, explained her decision on Instagram. In a post, she revealed that she decided to try the Carnivore Diet after hearing about all of the health benefits from friends who switched from being vegan to eating only meat and animal products.
Parker explained, “I had my own fair share of health struggles and eventually reached

Worked for me. As I've posted several times, I lost 78.6 lb on what is pretentiously called the ketogenic diet. If you want to learn more, there's good stuff online. Basically you drop sugar altogether and avoid any carbs you can. As a Type 1 diabetic (i.e. must inject insulin), my insulin consumption dropped immediately and dramatically, and my insulin reactions became markedly less severe. I'm not an expert on Type 2, but I strongly suspect this diet would be beneficial to them as well.

Yeh but the selfish little twit is destroying the planet. Next thing you know she'll be driving her SUV to a steak house.

I have a cousin who doesn't eat meat. (To be honest I think she is anorexic and is using her diet as an excuse.) Her hair has thinned, her teeth are ruined, she has broken multiple bones and she actually thinks she is the healthy one!

Being vegan, one must think they are superior to us meat eaters. I have seen some remarkably unhealthy looking vegans.

Not surprised in the least, #1. I have a friend who has a genetic auto-immune condition which manifests as arthritis. He was on meds for the arthritis and also serious pain meds. He started Keto and within a few months had lost over 75 pounds and was off his meds completely. He now eats nothing but meat and animal products and his bloodwork keeps coming back perfect.
I tried Keto earlier this year though I didn’t need to lose weight. I found that I had a lot more energy and focus and slept better, but I have major acid reflux and the high fat diet was tearing up my stomach. I’m hoping that, once the acid reflux is under control, I can go back to Keto. It’s odd because some people with reflux find that Keto ends the problem. Wish it was that way for me.

I would try keto but I'm too fond of bread and taters

All those surprised by this, raise you hand. Yeah, me either. I crave meat almost daily. I can't imagine such a restricted diet.

I went completely vegan for about four years, under the theory that you never saw a fat hippie back then. I was able to stay about 10% lighter and my energy levels were ok, but I got tired of being the weirdo who never got invited anywhere and had to ask for special things at restaurants. Plus I missed my mother in law's fried chicken. I was missing out on some of the best things in life.
When I started back on meat I got bad sick for a few days, but I lived. Now I have to cut out most carbs because of type 2. Go figger.

The only way you can be a true vegan is to make everything from scratch without help from processed products. The FDA admits that in certain products, they allow bug parts in foods. Cinnamon is allowed 225 bug parts per oz. Pasta is allowed up to 125 parts per oz. Yes, they are small parts but an average human consumes about 2 pounds of bug parts per year. And that doesn't include what you unknowingly eat while sleeping.

#9 I could have lived a long life and died quite content having never known those rather icky statistics. But you do learn something new everyday. LOL. :p

To be healthy, one must eat all that God made and approved according to Leviticus. No vegans entered the Promised Land.

Every time a vegan says how great it is & does wonders for their temperament I remind them that it didn't do much for Hitler's temperament.

There are advantages to being a "picky" eater. I have no idea what is a carb or what is a fiber. I eat what I like, when I like. Mostly, I don't eat much at all. I've never understood the societal fixation about food and all these fad diets. To me eating was more trouble than it was worth; going to the market and doing something with all that stuff at home, then having to clean up. Vegetables were always, and continue to be, yukky. A vegetable has not knowingly passed my lips since I was four. Mom tried the, "sit there until you eat your peas", and I was more than willing to sit there until I fell asleep and she put me to bed. I was the youngest of three and she worked full-time; she gave in easy.
I've never been overweight or overly skinny. I'm a trim 5'7" - 135 pounds. My high school graduation weight 48 years ago. I eat cheeseburgers, pizza, steak, roast beef sandwiches, milk shakes, ice cream, cookies, cakes and candy. There are days I simply forget to eat and TK has to remind me. I sometimes wonder if because not eating comes so naturally to me, I don't experience all of the spiritual benefits from fasting during Lent that "foodies" do.
I'm sympathetic to those who battle weight, as its just about everyone I've ever known. It is all I've heard talked about since my childhood; recipes and cookbooks, marketing guidelines and scales to measure portions, things that are bad turn out to be things that are good, and people are always shoving food at you. Everywhere you look our culture is fixated on food and I've just never really understood the obsession when a PB&J, some potato chips and glass of milk are just fine.
Thank you for your patience during this rant. I've been wanting to say this for 60 years. God bless all Ldotters.

We are too obsessed over food. Eat to live, not live to eat. Vegetarians lose muscle mass and look like death warmed over.

# 9 - you don't even want to know about stuff allowed in sugar. I used to live a few miles from a sugar plantation. They do whatever it is they do to break down the cane, and trust me you don't want to be there when they're boiling the stuff - whew, then the nice white sugar is piled up on the ground and whatever pokes a nose in it stays there. They may have changed the process since I moved twenty years ago, but I bet not by much.

Yep, finding out what a quick look at her teeth and some thought would have told her. We are intended to eat meat and other things....omnivores. Vegans are typically seriously unhealthy people, IME. Meat is critical to human health.
