Carnivore is where the rabbit hole starts.
You start by questioning carbohydrates.
That leads you to glucose and insulin. Then metabolic health. Then cholesterol.
And cholesterol is where the rabbit hole gets considerably deeper.
You start reading about statins, pharmaceutical trials, relative versus absolute risk, who funds the research and why so much of modern healthcare revolves around managing individual markers.
Then you start questioning the food industry. Why we eat all day. Why food needs 30 ingredients. Why animal fat became something to fear while industrially manufactured food became completely normal.
Eventually you’re questioning far more than food.
Artificial light at night. Barely seeing daylight. Sitting all day. Constant eating. Poor sleep. Then another product, prescription or gadget to deal with the consequences.
You thought carnivore was about changing your food and eating meat.
But you end up changing the way you look at modern life.
That’s why I call it Live Ancestral.
Who else has gone from that rabbit hole?
