Our Data For The Nequalsmany Zero Carb Carnivore Experiment

Rumors 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.

Carbohydrate Addiction

By – Stephen Visio Ewen

You are not used to eating food, that is the problem! Food is fuel and makes you feel ready to go! Food does not envelop you in euphoria. Food does not replicate the feelings of love. Food doesn’t make your head tingle as your pleasure center is triggered. That is mood alteration, not food. Your central nervous system cannot tell the difference between the ecstasy of opioids, alcohol, cannabis, meth, cocaine or candy bars!

The Human Natural Diet and the Evolution of the Zero Carb Diet. Part 4

The Human Natural Diet and the Evolution of the Zero Carb Diet. (Part 4)

(Part 1), (Part 2), (Part 3), (Part 5)

I believe I found Livin La Vida Low Carb (LLVLC), by Googling zero or no carbs. Once there, I found a guy (Charles Washington) who had been eating an all meat diet for a few months. So, I read his journal. Charles was a runner, so he was an athlete, who also ate only meat. Quite a few members were interested in this all meat Zero Carb Diet, so a new Thread was started in the LLVLC forum, called Zero Carb / Meat and Water.

After my “Natural Paleo” diet failure, I was desperate to find any diet, natural or not, that would work to help me lose weight. I wanted something I could eat for life, not some one week cabbage soup diet that works great, for 1 week only, then gain it all back and then some the next week. In my search for a diet I came across a website called Fatsecret. Fat secret had a pie chart of diets and their success rates based on members reporting. Atkins was winning by a landslide. (I just logged into my old fatsecret account and they no longer have this pie chart.)

Common Nutrition Myths

Diet Myths By – Dana Spencer

Marcy found this gem (Top 11 Biggest Lies of Mainstream Nutrition) on Authority Nutrition, so I thought posting about it so we can find it again would be a good idea.

In the Zero Carb Health Facebook Group, we often get people questioning us about these common diet myths.

Too Much Protein?

Too much protein By – Stephen Visio Ewen

In reference to the Zero Carb Health, Diabetes Discussion.

Buried in the replies section of comments to a post was a fascinating conversation that deserves to be curated. Content curation is a powerful social media technique that really helps clarify all the information presented by so many different people.

THE ISSUE
Some commenters warned about too much protein and some warned that there is no such thing as too much protein. To me both are right depending upon the amount of damage or adaption to a disordered metabolism a person is dealing with. I think this curated information belongs in the diabetes thread. So I took it upon myself to curate the info and add it to this thread. Read More

What Fruit Does to our Immune System

trickandtreat One of my favorite books on low carb eating is Barry Groves book, Trick and Treat. After reading the chapter “Why Five Portions?”, I realized just how dangerous sugar was.

This chapter is about why and how the daily recommendation of fruits and vegetables became 5 portions. But, to me, the most profound section in this chapter was the one on how sugars, especially fructose, depress our immune systems and disable our white blood cells ability to destroy bacteria and illness causing organisms.

Zero Carb – Not Eating Enough

By Dana 8/16/2015

I have eaten an all meat zero carb diet for 7.5 years. After about 3 years of eating a Zero Carb Diet, my life got crazy…really crazy. My stress level was high before, but it went through the roof for about 3 years. I learned what “burnt out” means. Read More

Best Zero Carb Quotes!

These are from the old ZIOH Forum:

Eating meat sounds so restrictive only to those who are behind the veil. Once that veil is lifted, one realizes that this really is the only way to be free of restrictions. – Margot 9/09
