The carnivore diet is a fad diet based on eating large amounts of animal fats and very little of anything else. The patient in this case reported eating nearly 10 pounds of butter, cheese and other fatty foods every day since embarking on the diet—even going so far as to add fat to the hamburgers he consumed daily.
Blood tests showed the patient's cholesterol was approximately four times normal levels. The doctors diagnosed the patient with xanthelasma, a condition in which yellowish deposits of cholesterol build up in various parts of the body—in this case, on the palms, the soles of his feet and his elbows. His case had progressed to the point that some of the cholesterol was pushing through cracks in the skin.
I saw some idiot on here a while ago saying his gf ate a pound of butter everyday and I thought it was insane...
But 10 pounds of fat a day?!
This guy is a fucking idiot, I get there's all types of misinformation about diet these days, but who could think that would be healthy?
-
That guy apparently
-
maybe he tried to OD 😆

This whole situation sounds like an episode out of The Simpsons. This guy is a real life Homer.
-
No, Homer would never give up donuts.
-
You're right, but he might pretend to give up donuts, eat 10lbs of dairy products and animal fat, then continue to sneak donuts at work.
-
What if the donuts were made out of meat?
-
"Mmmm...meat donuts..."

That's a standard southerners diet

Shit, you get a house in the south, a Paula Deen cookbook appears if you don't already own one.
A pound of butter is just part of one meal. And then there's dessert. These people eat so much goddamn buttercake. I have had customers tell me they put butter on our pound cakes. Just straight butter.

I completely agree that this guy must be a rather slow thinker.
Why would he think the carnivore diet is only eating fat? It's kind of in the name.. You eat the meat and fat from animals.. like a carnivore would.

It's not a huge jump, we didn't evolve to just eat meat like cats did.
Like, you can "survive" on it for a long time, but eventually there's going to be a bunch of complications.
So they already believe one crazy thing that's popular enough to have communities, it shouldn't be shocking to see some go on to believe even crazier shit. It just keeps concentrating the crazy.
Same phenomenon that happens with lots of different groups, at least with this one they're only hurting themselves I guess.

It's more than that. You can absolutely survive indefinitely eating only animals, but you absolutely need to eat the viscera as well. Eating only the muscle, and none of the fat and organs, would leave you malnourished very quickly, and poison you with excess proteins.
Predators in the wild usually eat the viscera first.

hello,
your comment has been restored on lemmy.world, but i recommend avoiding to link to this website in future comments.
this website houses spam bots with drug ads that are still up now almost a year since we've first seen them there.

It is a huge jump. There's a whole bunch of animals (even mammals) that eat nothing but dead animal. Meat, fat and sometimes bones, aka carnivores..
There is not a single animal that lives purely on fat, so I have no clue why anyone would think that's a viable diet.
