I just had a hankering for some potato chips, went to the pantry, grabbed a bag of Otts, and looked at the ingredients… potatoes, lard, salt, and TBHQ…
Wtf is TBHQ?
So I duckduckgo… and find… TBHQ is the no.1 cause allergies, kidney and thyroid diseases apart from others like IBS, migraine…
Fuck those potato chips, I have half a mind to throw them in the trash now.
What else in the food supply is tainted with dangerous chemicals to prolong shelf life at our expense?
The trouble with the calorie restriction notion is that it is designed to make you fail. If you want to succeed…you can define success in your own terms be it weight loss, improved mental health, addressing insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammation et…then you need to feel a sense of satiety. That means eating all you want on carnivore.
A high fat carnivore diet will give you enough sense of satety so that you will regularly end up only eating one meal a day or occasionally just forgetting to eat for a day entirely. This gives us the benefits of intermittent fasting. Could expand on the fasting benefits if anyone likes but this is a pretty bright group and you will have likely already heard about it.
One of the videos above is by a Dr Ken Barry. He is a good resource for excellent information on carnivore and why it is the proper human diet, couched in terms the layman can understand easily as well as regularly interviews researchers with the big credentials to help dispel a lot of the myths that have been foisted on us for all of our lives. The big one that everyone worries about is cholesterol on a high fat diet with loads of red meat.
Turns out that like so very many things we have been told in life, the how we should be eating claims have all just been hustles
Everyone already knows that sugars are bad for you- yet then they’ll go on to eat hundreds of carbs per day. Carbohydrates are effectively sugars while being a minimally necessary empty ‘nutrient’. All the carbohydrates you need, the body produces itself on top of inevitably eating some amount of carbs even when keeping it to a minimum.
I’ve been on the diet for around 8 months now, and I’ve lost 80lbs with no significant effort what so ever- Just cooking for myself every day.
Fats were never bad, Carbs are. The S.A.D. diet pushed on us for a generation that demonized fats and glorified carbs has resulted in millions of preventable deaths and is a major cause of death. Perhaps it’s deliberate eugenics by corrupt health scientists.

Apologies for the YouTube links in an era of alt tech revival. “Lockstin” may have an offputting presentation to some of you, but his videos on keto diets are great, detailed and researched, as the diet saved his life and he worked from the ground up to learn to save himself through this diet.
What to do with this information?
Even if you don’t want to do the Keto diet itself, carry on with this information in mind- Carbs are a mild poison the same as any sugar. Keep consumption low and live a healthy life and you shouldn’t have problems. Or decide that my results are a lie or misleading, and continue to live as you were before. But in the mean time, the West is killing itself in this and many other ways.
Like bread too much? Well, the keto diet is actually an exceptional diet for bakers, as you’d have to bake breads yourself for the most part (Brands do exist with increasing popularity that provide keto bread), so if you like to bake then you may actually love keto, it’s merely a matter of replacing foundational ingredients like flour for almond flour and similar replacements. I’ve had more milkshakes in the past month than I had my entire life before starting keto (And that’s just the last month) yet I’m healthier than ever and down 80lbs. Fats are healthy- carbs aren’t. Cheeksecake? Milkshakes? Very easily keto. Most things have keto variations to the recipe for you to try.
Keto is a lifestyle more than a diet, any diet should be if you actually want lasting results (You can’t just go back to normal and expect to not return to your previous weight, doing the same things you did before). But you can shift away from keto to basic low-carb living after you get results, maybe add extra exercise or calorie restriction to compensate.
