The Zero Carb Diet is Not a Cure All

LionBy – Caitlin Tilton

Some recent musings. Hoping to clarify our position and clear up misunderstandings.

1. Eating a meat-only diet (referred to as Zero Carb or ZC) will not cure everything. We have never stated that. In fact, if we did state that, we would open ourselves up to lawsuits. Keep this in mind.

2. Eliminating carbohydrates and eating only meat IS the single best thing you can do for your overall health. We absolutely stand behind this statement.

3. Expecting miracles in a few days or weeks is unrealistic. Many people do experience immediate relief from troublesome symptoms, such as gastric distress, insomnia, fatigue, etc., but many others do not.

Most obese and overweight people will lose weight. If you have multiple health issues, it’s possible that you won’t see rapid weight loss at first.

Our Data For The Nequalsmany Zero Carb Carnivore Experiment

food pyramidRumors are going around the Zero Carb Community about a Doctor, Shawn Baker, wanting to conduct an experiment ( nequalsmany) to collect data about people who eat a zero carb carnivorous diet, specifically, meat and water.  This could be exciting for those of us who live this lifestyle.  We would love for our diet to get more exposure about how healthy it is, because we are tired of being in the closet about it, being shamed, condemned and bullied by doctors, family and loved ones.

I have to say I am not too excited by the Data he wants to collect.  We have 10 years of observation and testimonials from thousands of people to easily produce the Data being sought.

We already know the results of this experiment.

Calories Explained

calorie taleBy: Jennifer Lechner

Here’s the thing about calories: A calorie is a unit of heat.
It is not a unit of food. It’s not a unit of movement. It’s a unit of how much heat a food gives off when it is burned — not “used for energy by the body,” but literally BURNED.

Do you know how they determine the calorie content of food? They put the food in a capsule surrounded by water, run an electrical current through the food till it becomes ash, and then measure the change in temperature of the water. That’s exactly what happens in the digestive system, right?

Uh… no. Our bodies don’t set food on fire.

Zero Carb Diet and Alcohol

Wine SpritzerBy, 10+ year ZeroCarb veteran

When faced with the major upcoming holidays or occasions, where alcohol will no doubt be frequently offered…… Will you, won’t you? What to do? And if you do, what to expect…so that you don’t make the mistake of thinking that those drinks are no big deal or won’t affect your weight or any other progress your body is starting to make on a Zero Carb diet.

Yes, alcohol is one of those things which some ZC’ers do partake in, now and then. This isn’t a post telling you NOT to have it, if you choose to do so. Instead, it is an attempt to help lend some insight into how to perhaps then change your expectations about your own body and what the effects of alcohol upon it may be, if you do choose to imbibe:

Zero Carb Coffee Mousse

Zero Carb Coffee MousseZero Carb desserts are non-optimal and not one of us veterans eat these, but for people starting out, who are craving or just need something different, Zero Carb desserts are a much better option than carb filled desserts that will derail your progress.  These are a great treat for kids.

High Cholesterol and Gluconeogenesis Explained

cholesterolBy: 10 year Zero Carb Veteran

In response to a question about our cholesterol levels since we eat a high fat, Zero Carb diet.

Just a couple of points I might add to these thoughts: Excepting other rare/genetic conditions, it is having elevated levels of glucose in the blood which actually causes atherosclerosis, not the cholesterol itself being shuttled on lipoproteins through the blood vessels.

The Human Natural Diet and the Evolution of the Zero Carb Diet. (Part 5)

(Part 1), (Part 2), (Part 3), (Part 4), (Part 6)

By Dana

After getting kicked out of LLVLC we all moved over to the shiny new forum, created by Charles Washington called Zeroing in on Health – ZIOH.

At first ZIOH was an open public forum.  How soon we learned THAT was a mistake.  We were constantly getting attacked by people who thought we were crazy. (See, The Bears thread, to read what kind of arguments we had to (still do) deal with on a daily basis.)  So, we came up with a questionnaire that people had to fill out, letting us know a little bit about themselves and why they wanted to join.  This helped with some of the problems but not all.

Mouse CatThe Human Natural Diet and the Evolution of the Zero Carb Diet. (Part 2)

(Part 1), (Part 3)

By Dana

What are humans supposed to eat?  Figuring out an animal’s natural diet is easy.  All we have to do is look to nature to see what wild cats and dogs eat.  In my case, all I have to do is pay attention because my cat brings his natural diet into the house. (lucky me)  But, what about humans?  There really are no wild humans to observe today dwelling in their natural habitat, living as they have lived prior to world  industrialization.
