    Youll lose weight possibly but thats a great way to end up dead by heart disease at a stupidly young age.

      I thought the same thing to but I’m not so sure any more… I was a vegan for years…but that was killing me, so I did carnivore out of desperation and it worked

        Vegan isnt for everyone, although as the other poster said there are different ways to vegan. But, people need to allow that not everyone has a body that can handle every kind of diet.

        I’m vegan so I just rather like not having to worry about all of the negative side effects of meat and dairy, but there are degrees to things, and a healthy diet could potentially include meat and dairy.

        I dont actually know the carnivore diet that well, so I based what I said on the assumption that you would be consuming so much cholesterol containing food that it couldn’t possibly NOT have an adverse affect on your life.

        Could I ask if you could be more specific on what caused you to change from vegan? More of a curiosity for me than anything.

          check my comments below, i don’t want to say some potentially unwavering stuff that doesn’t have the science to back it up, but check it out I was quite shocked to find out all the health benefits that came with it… for example my body is so much more resilient I hurt my shoulder and now it’s healed up completely after being on this diet for 4-5 months.

          Kind of hard to believe, it worked for me thats all I’m saying, as for the cholesterol stuff our brains our made up of 20% cholesterol if i’m not mistaken so I mean having zero cholesterol i don’t think is the way to go, it’s there for a reason. Cheers brother! All the best no matter which way you live, whatever makes you happy and healthy.

        Do you get regular cholesterol tests? I imagine if done in a certain way, with lean meat (high protein, low carb, low-ish fat diet), it could work OK. Vegan can also be healthy, if done properly. I’ve been vegan for about 5 years (switched because my cholesterol was a biy high), and have only noticed positive effects.
