Zero Carb/Full Carnivore Diet

[SITHRAK!]

Psyllium husk is zero-carb AFAIK and would offset any concerns about insufficient fiber. Just take it with lots of water.

Somehow this doesn't sound like the HEALTHIEST choice but I'm curious about any kind of medical studies/research that I can read for myself and have an informed opinion.

Remember, the average ration of a sailor in the age of scurvy was hardtack and beer. That explains the scurvy problem; their diet was ill-equipped to synthesise Vit C,

.....None of this is even remotely true. First, humans don't create their own vitamin C as you're implying here because we're one of a handful of known animals with a defective gene that prevents us from doing so, which is why you have to get it from your diet. Second, sailors ate alot more than just hardtack and beer. The average sailors diet was far better than what they would have been able to afford on land. It included peas, oatmeal, meat, vinegar, rice, suet, cheese, butter, molasses and if you were a whaler the occasional doughnuts fried in whale oil, among other things

Don't do any of these gimmick diets. Just eat less and move more. Walk every day for 2 hours and restrict yourself to 2000 calories a day. Pick healthy food, some vegetables, some fruits, and pick food that makes you feel full, but still has a low amount of calories, like soup. I like to have spinach and potatoes as my emergency food, it's about 500 calories and makes me feel really full. Similarly lentil soup and other soups. Drink a lot of water when you're eating, makes you feel fuller as well. Avoid white wheat flour bread. Avoid sweets. Don't even buy them. Only allow yourself sweets and fast food when you're eating with friends or your mother baked you a cake or something, on special occasions. You won't even miss it after a while. And most importantly, don't stop. Just keep going. And be honest with yourself.

Keto is not a gimmick diet. its also nothing meagical, its a well understood process that helps you lose weight.

I've been on this diet for about 2 years now. Before I was on a diet very heavy in pasta and rice because I was trying to live as cheaply as possible. I am also doing this diet fairly cheaply, so I mostly just buy 80/20 ground beef and grill burger patties. I'll occasionally spend a bit more and get pulled pork, ribs, lamb, steak, chicken, etc. as well, and I try to focus on fattier cuts of meat. I also consume dairy occasionally, mostly by just putting cheese on the burger patties every once in a while or making cheese dip to go with the pulled pork.
The diet does get pretty boring since I eat the same food all of the time, but I've gotten used to it. I just occasionally mix it up by experimenting with different spices. Cooking the same thing everyday does make preparing food much easier though so I have grown to like it. I also cheat when I go out with friends and drink, but that happens less than 10 times per year so I don't think it's often enough to really interfere.
I didn't lose any weight for like the first 2 months on the carnivore diet, but then lost a total of about 25 lbs throughout the third month without doing anything different. I have maintained the same weight since then. My mood was also elevated for the first few months but then went back to the same as before I started the diet.
The only issue I've run into so far is I am much more likely to cramp up than before unless I salt my food more often. I assume that's because I'm just consuming less sodium in general now.
