Following a carnivore diet can lead to weight loss, improved mental focus, and the reduction or elimination of chronic pain. Food addiction is a real struggle, and it is important to understand that individuals are not solely to blame for their addiction in a society that promotes hyper-palatable and addictive foods. It is crucial not to compare oneself to others and to focus on what works best for one's own body and health. While the carnivore diet may not be suitable for everyone, it can be a valuable option for those looking to improve their overall well-being. Understanding different perspectives can lead to more effective communication and understanding. Certain foods may have adverse effects on our health that we have deemed as normal. The carnivore diet can help alleviate conditions like gout and regulate hormones. Alcohol is best avoided on a carnivore diet due to its negative impact on sleep and metabolism. Women's preference for lean meats may be influenced by societal norms and misconceptions. The affordability of the carnivore diet is a topic worth exploring.
