5 Things Paul Saladino Changed His Mind on After Quitting Carnivore

Over the decades, I've listened to all these experts instruct us about the best diet using fancy words only to later do a total turnaround. Low carb, high carb, LDL cholesterol vs HDL cholesterol, fruit good, fruit bad, veggies yea, veggies nay, red meat no, red meat yes. This leads me to believe that when it comes to the body, there is no health expert out there that knows for certain what is best. So I'd say perform the most thorough due diligence you can, use your intuition, and let your own body be your guide. LOL!

I think the biggest problem that we have here in this country is that GMO food is not banned like it is in other countries. As well as so much of our food is sprayed with toxic chemicals.

“In a metabolically healthy person”.. there’s the key .. how many people are actually “metabolically healthy”

I think it depends how much you work out. When I was a marine I ate whatever I wanted and still maintained weight and muscle and felt great, because of working out like an Olympian. Now that I don't work out much, keto and fasting make me feel way better.

My mum truly understood the importance of grounding. Must have been ancestral instincts. She grounded me all the time.

"We should not fear glucose spikes in a metabolically healthy individual..." That's the key point unfortunately very few on a standard American diet are metabolically healthy.

My great grandmother lived till 100. She was always lean, never heard of gym , but she used to walk a LOT. She ate rice , a bit of fish and whatever else was available. She didn't have diabetes.

I like how Paul has come away from the extreme. And I totally agree with Thomas that the body needs to be adaptable/flexible. Fasting is not the be all and end all but it is a therapeutic intervention. Interventions are not designed to be forever. The same with carnivore or keto - interventions which are great for certain things like eradicating/suppressing autoimmune/allergic conditions etc. but not necessarily something you should stay on forever.

This has been a FABulously informative discussion; much of what you are covering and the solutions are finds that I have made that worked for me over my life. GREAT to have affirmation of the conclusions that I had drawn for myself. THANK YOU! I hope to hear more from you both!
