Yeah, Aimee, why not try the Dirty Carnivore approach that works for Satya and a lot of us? Getting rid of sugary fruits and lots of carbs does a body good.

Well good, that gives you something to try out. Best wishes on that and do let us know how it goes!

any switch from high carb to low carb to beter yet zero carb i a good thing. the insulin is killing you. eating fruit on 2010 is NOT like eating fruit 50,000 years ago. do not fool yourself fruit = candy today.

best kind of fruit to eat is a ribneye fruit. right Kate?

why is it called "dirty carnivore?"

Ha ha, that was an offhand comment made to distinguish between pure carnivores and those of us who throw in a few plants now and then (and I do this for minerals and such).

I personally do not care for the term zero carb because it is a factual impossibility to eat no carbs while consuming only meat (and/or animal foods). There is glycogen in meat, although not much.

Anyway, here is a website we are developing to share about healthy carnivorous diets. http://www.dirtycarnivore.com

I'm into the PaleoNu philosophy: there is no evidence any carbs are essential, but there's also zero evidence that no-carb is any healthier than extremely low-carb. I eat almost all meat, but it seems unlikely we evolved to unilaterally reject all plant matter, so I won't shy away from veggies when they're served, and I eat dairy as well.

Very sensibe, dshack. No carnivorous people ever studied have shunned all plants. Then again, ice ages were common for Paleo ancestors, so who is to say if at least some of them had no plants. I can go either way, but I feel best with occasional herbs and plants. Others, like Kate, are good pure carnivore.

Hmmm... without plants there would be no animals, no animals, no carnivores.

Okay, Nancy, good catch. I mean edible for human type plants. We can't live on the grass of the prairie the way ruminants can! They eat the grass, we eat them.

It is true however that there was an explosion of new plant life ushered in with the warmer climate of the Neolithic.

Yum

very cool! I applaud you!
