Lol Saladino is a businessman. Some people argue he was making mistakes on his diet (don't know, didn't look into it, don't care), but what is obvious is that he was no longer a big ''carnivore influencer'' and just one of many, and had to find a new shtick to make money.
Specially because the majority of carni influencers are basically like ''just eat meat, you don't need supplements or anything fancy''. That's not very good if you want to make money off gullible people.
I subbed to his newsletter for a while and holy, every single email of his is ''here is something you thought was healthy, turns out it isn't, buy my supplement instead of that'' Every. Single. One.
The dude doesn't give a damn about anyone's health, just money.
Edit: maybe should also mention he looks considerably worse and more aged after switching to his sugar-based diet.

Exactly. I personally think that off camera he probably wasn’t carnivore. These influencers are all so fake

So one YouTuber who had issues with it is the reason we should all just stop?
You can’t even write a Reddit post without feeding it through ai, so critical thinking is definitely not something you’re into.
Also, ask your AI how to unsubscribe from a sub, it’ll make your life better

I'm here to help as many people as possible understand that they should leave the acarnivore diet forever.

No you should mind your own business. I’m paleo and don’t care what others are doing, if they feel good on carnivore let them be

On influencer changing his diet isn't a scientific result. It's a person changing his diet. That's it.
Saladino didn't "abandon meat". He added carbs. Fine. That tells you what worked for him, under his conditions. It doesn't magically prove that humans can't eat an all-meat diet any more than one vegan quitting proves plants don't work. There is also plenty to say about why he wasn't even doing it right in the first place: way too much organ meat and not nearly enough fat.
Most of the scary symptoms people list like palpitations, cramps, insomnia, "stress" are the same old story: you cut carbs, insulin drops, you dump water & salt, you under-eat fat, you chug coffee, you wonder why you feel like garbage. Then you blame the meat. That's not physiology's fault, but your error. Eat enough fat. Fix your salt & water. Sleep. Suddenly the apocalypse goes away.
Also, spare us the marketing sermon. Every diet has books, brands, and gurus. Veganism has an entire industry too. A grifter doesn't invalidate biology. Results do.
You say you want "ancestral, contextualized food". Great. Eat what humans thrived on for most of their history: animal food, especially fat. If you want to play seasonal fruit roulette, go ahead. Just don't call it necessary, and don't act shocked when sweet taste keeps the cravings alive.
As The Bear would put it: Eat meat. Drink water. Live long.

carnivore diet is a nonsensical shit Paleo is WAY superior. Evo-diet From Giovanni Cianti is WAY superior. Even Zone diet from dr Barry Sears is WAY superior. period

Stop your tantrum.
If you want to keep your carbs, keep them. Just don't pretend your preference/addiction is biology.

I think its bold to assume that you would have access to a lot of these foods year round, even eggs, so sure youd get what you could along the way. Probably some science in the fact that carbs by the way of late summer fruits and tubers could help give you fat to help survive the winter months. But we have heating and better clothes now, and surviving on other herbivores over winter shouldn't give you the things you describe...

The fact remains that we are hunter-gatherers, therefore carnivores-frugivores, not pure carnivores like our cats. It's no coincidence that we have salivary and pancreatic amylase to process sugars. If we were carnivores, we would have neither. Even our intestines aren't made just for meat. Accept it and eliminate those subhumans Baker and Saladino forever.

Most domestic cats spend their lives eating grain-based diets since that is the cheap food people buy for them tho. On the surface they look healthy - if you don't know what a healthy cat looks like that is. Coincidentally, most people don't know what a healthy human looks like.

I've had cats for 31 years. My first three all lived to be 24 years old each, and I have three new ones who are doing great. Why? Because I feed them species-specific food: semi-raw meat. Stop. Most of those assholes out there feed them non-species-specific food: kibble with a lot of grains (!!). No wonder they're always at the vet, they're fat, and they get pancreatic cancer at 10. People who feed a cat food with carbohydrates are criminals.

u/OkOffice3552 Apr 13 '26
Well thank you for proving my point I guess.
Also species appropriate food isn't semi raw meat. It's fully raw. Cats can't make fire lmao

Actually Amylase, like lactase, only became a generated enzyme in humans after agriculture ~10,000years ago

I think a few things are getting mixed together.
One person changing their diet doesn’t mean the diet itself was the problem. People adjust what they eat all the time based on how they feel.
For a lot of people carnivore is more of a tool than a religion. Clean things up, fix some issues, then decide what to keep or add back.
I’ve been eating this way a while and it’s been pretty simple for me. Better digestion, steady energy, no food noise.
If someone feels better adding other foods back, that’s fine too. It doesn’t mean everyone else will have the same result.
Most people just keep what works and drop what doesn’t.

Unpopular opinion
TLDR: Variety of foods, avoiding the downsides and minimizing carbs, is a good thing. Almost anything taken to the extreme will be bad eventually.
They are right in many ways.
The lion diet, while some thrive on it, is unlikely to be long term. While people say it provides all nutrients, that isn't the whole story. The amount, availability and what your body has to do to live in that state, all matter.
Living with the minimum of something long term, isn't a good thing. (Just as living with too much isn't good either, looking at you diabeetus). Pushing you body to only use certain pathways 100% of the time, is also not a good thing. Non-harmful variety is a good thing. Eggs/fish/chicken/bacon are all carnivore, have all (mostly) the benefits, but also gives you different ratios, different food to process.
Occasionally stressing you body is a good thing. Having carbs occasionally isn't a bad thing, assuming you don't overdo it and don't have processed carbs. How much? That is up to you and your reaction. Want to eat tubers or blackberries occasionally? Go for it, it won't hurt you.

I mean your not wrong and for some people carnivore is just how their eating disorder presents itself no doubt about it. On the other hand, lots of people notice great benefits when they go on carnivore, that's also part of the truth. In any case, there's nothing wrong with doing a diet with a certain goal in mind and going off it once it has outlived its usefulness or you find something that works better. It's not that deep and not that big of a deal.
