As someone on the other side of the fence on the fruit/honey debate I appreciate your thoughts that the community should be more forgiving but we also need to be thinking of where the person is at in their journey

I agree actually that for someone with metabolic disease the lion diet is optimal for them but once the metabolic dysfunction is cured I tend to move the other direction especially if you are any type of athlete

My life and workouts improved so much more once I started to incorporate those foods and I’ve lost weight as a consequence

I wasn’t “justifying my carb addiction” I wasn’t optimal and I felt like shit

But again with the context of I was already a carnivore for more than a year and cured any metabolic dysfunction I had

It is different for everyone though fwiw

I feel light years better on the Saladino version than meat only

I was meat only for 12 months and by the end — after I was significantly leaner — I felt horrible. Constant cramps heart skips and my blood work turned to trash (tris consistently in the 200s)

I did everything I could. Insane amounts of salt. LMNT (electrolytes) multiple times a day and nothing was fixing it.

Once I started incorporating fruit honey and raw milk I’ve felt SOOO much better and have been that way now for almost 18 months.

Personally the meat only was not sustainable for me I started to feel bad once I got lean enough. My athletic performance is also way better now

I think the meat only is a good tool to get lean and fix metabolic disease, but to thrive I’d disagree with you from experience that a lot of people wouldn’t benefit from fruit and honey.
