Except pistachios. MSN those things are addictive.
“Some diet gurus obsessions with eating almost no carbohydrates to try and force the body into ketoacidosis is near insanity. It is not healthy, makes one smell horrible, and in older folks especially robs them of energy.”
Go carnivore and stop worrying about carbs. Not needed, and no, it does NOT do what you say. You don’t even have basic terminology right:
“Ketosis is when ketones are produced in the body from the breakdown of fat for energy. Only if too many ketones accumulate in the body may ketosis progress to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a life threatening condition.”

“Eskimos - they are freezing cold. They need fat.”
Except that primitive Africans eat the same, and show the same results.
Another lie pushed by government: You MUST cook hamburgers to an internal temp of 160 degrees.
At 160 degrees, you have a hockey puck. Overcooking hamburger is supposed to prevent us from dying of infections, but the government started pushing that around 2010. Before that, NO ONE cooked a hamburger into charcoal - but I never got sick eating a hamburger at home. And my Dad would have cut his hands off before grilling a burger to death!
Got really sick at times eating bad fish in restaurants. Got really sick once eating a burger in a place where I knew, as soon as I walked in, that I’d be better off running away.
But at home? Never.
Ancel Keys is who you are referring to?
There is (was) a diet related illness in the Pacific northwest called Salmon Starvation.
Indigenous people would eat nothing but salmon for many weeks during annual salmon runs.
They would literally get what is called protein poisoning, which can be fatal.
Curiously, bears consume only small amounts of salmon meat but consume almost all the salmon fat.
Early North American explorers and settlers would get Rabbit Starvation, because there was a huge abundance of easily trapped or speared rabbits.
“Ancel Keys is who you are referring to?”
I used to think that the refrigeration of meats was the greatest advancement in human health, along with the purification of drinking water.
But now I’m beginning to think that the death of Ancel Keys was the greatest advancement in human health, or will be, once all of his damage is unwound - and that is taking FOREVER.
No.
Have your physician help you watch for gallstones.
In the mean time try finding alternate preparation methods that allow you to still enjoy what you like. For example, right now fried hamburgers are probably a problem but if you spread the hamburger on a cookie sheet and bake it then it will remove more grease and allow you to learn to cut one just the right size depending on your ability to digest it.
If you need gall bladder surgery remember to pay attention for a few years afterward for any complaints from your pancreas and let your physician know.
Hes the Dr Mengele that we really have to thank for the proliferation of quackery like statins. How many would still be alive if everyone just continued to laugh at him like they at first?
Vegans are the least healthy people on the planet.
Just a note, there is a difference between ketoacidosis and ketosis.

Vegan is an old Indian word that translates to ‘lousy Hunter.
The various fad diets all use their own terminology. It does not matter what terminology that you use... someone will be offended. But I apologize, during my career my crews and I responded to numerous persons in various stages of diabetic ketoacidosis.
Nearly half of the fat firefighter that I was in contact with was on some variation of a high protein diet and constantly used this technical term incorrectly. I did not realize that it had now gone out of favor after listening to dozens of people try to describe metabolic process that they had no understanding of.
And no, cutting out entire food groups and mostly eating only meat products is a bad long-term solution for good health. One of the best ways to take years off of your life is to become a true believer in some type of fad diet.
There is nothing that I love more than eating my own smoked meats, but I also realize that without the health benefits provided by other food groups... eating the foods that I love most is an unhealthy choice especially for me.
I have a genetic problem that causes me to have low levels of HDL cholesterol this sets one up with a high risk for cardiovascular disease. If I followed your advice, I would likely be dead in ten years, about the same age as many male members of my extended family made it to... Many of my former co-workers have also died and their very poor dietary choices made because of a religious fervor assigned to various fad diets has been largely to blame.
If you want to place your complete faith in the "carnivore" diet, go right ahead. Just don't do like our woke LGBTQ friends do and push it on others. The rest of us have enough difficulties to worry about already.
When I lived in Alaska and friends hunted moose, the animals were so lean that when they were processed for sausage, hot dogs, etc. A LOT of fat was added.
At least, that’s how I remember it. It’s been 30 years and I’m old and confused. ;)
“multiple eggs a day with real butter and lots of chicken livers as well.”
A restaurant I used to go to served chicken liver omelets; they were delicious!

We build up too much electrical charge and being barefoot discharges it into the earth, balances it out. Shoes (synthetic rubber soles) insulate us from that.
Just something else we never knew.
This has been out and available for about ten years
There's a Dutch kitchen in Frackville, PA that serves scrapple which is basically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other trimmings. So good.
Skin is another part of meat I love. So many people cut the skin away from their chicken, turkey, salmon, etc. That is where all the vitamins are! As I always say.
“serves scrapple which is basically made of hog offal,”
My college roommate was from Lancaster County, PA, so I know about scrapple. Never ate it. Not doin’ it.
