That confuses me Martin. Your (near-religious) certainty about it, not the thing itself.
I love VLC. I love meat. It's easier for me to live on nothing but meat than to fold in veggies (most of which I loathe) or dairy/grains (which mostly spark cravings, addiction, etc.). I felt wonderful on VLC for a long time and lost a lot of weight. Now I feel like shit if I eat that way. And even with meals of say, sausage and eggs, I get reactive hypoglycemic response sometimes that I never got before unless I was eating pasta.
It's not because I'm afraid of fat (god no), it's not because I don't like meat (favorite food), it's not because I can't live without carbs, it's because
I feel like shit when I eat close to ZC. I have no reason to be against it, but my body just doesn't like it anymore, though it used to love it. No amount of "opinions on paper about how meat has everything you need" is going to change a legit human experience ya know. When I added more carbs into my day I was astounded at how much better I felt, even on a meal per meal basis. A few berries, some beans in my meat-stew, it really helped. Not making it up... wasn't looking for excuses to eat them... just honestly felt bad and finally realized I'd felt bad for quite awhile and noticed one day when I added some carbs how astoundingly better I felt... that's how I figured it out, and some experimentation seems to confirm it.

There is nothing in meat that is even remotely unhealthful for humans. How can we believe that it's the meat that is the problem?

I don't think me eating steak and chicken and pork is a problem. I think me NOT eating enough OTHER things which happen to have some carbs -- whether that is coincidence or not is left to be seen -- appears to be a problem.
