Does anyone here do "zero carb"/dirty carnivore/meat&egg?

When I first started I had every intention of adding veggies, nuts, etc back, and I still may do that. I’m a little worried that after like five days of nothing but meat (I don’t love eggs), I may feel a real need for a salad. lol So, we’ll see…

I read on one of the no carb forums that the Inuit didn’t actually eat organs. Of course, that was just posted by somebody on a forum, so I wouldn’t want to rely on it. But there have been examples of long happy lives lived with no consumption of plant foods for many decades. Sadly, there was a guy who was, oddly enough, a sound man for The Greatful Dead, who went for over fifty years eating this way and was just killed at the age of 71 in a car accident a couple of months ago. And there are many people who have been doing it for a much shorter period and appear to be doing well. They claim that you don’t actually need anything from veggies.

I don’t know if it is “healthy” or even “healthier” than the standard american diet, or the ADA diet, or Bernstein’s, but I don’t want to discount it just because it doesn’t sound right not to eat vegetables. It took me a long time to consider doing Atkins (which quickly led me to Berntein’s) because it sounded so wrong to eat a lot of meat and cheese. But I am certain that that is better for me than was the diet I previously ate.

I am interested in hearing opinions. Even the negative ones. :slight_smile: I’m also waiting on Good Calories, Bad Calories from Amazon, which I think will shed some light on issues like what the Inuit actually ate. The zero carbers and dirty carnivores talk a lot about GCBC on their forums, so I think the book may be helpful. But I’m doing a lot of research into what the naysayers are saying. So, bring it on! lol I am a little bit afraid that eating this way for too long and then stopping might have consequences.
