Adding fat or no fat?
Hey everyone.
I am having doubts about the carnivore diet and am thinking a lot about it. While doing so, there popped one big questionmark up for me:
Do you need to add fat or not?
Everywhere I read about the diet, it is always either 1 part protein and 2 parts fat or roughly 70% of your calories from fat, which equals about 1 part fat and 1 part protein.
I went with at least a 1:1 ratio and I feel better. I eat less and I feel like before the protein mad me feel bad thanks to glucogenesis. Now I eat less protein and feel better.
But I keep seeing many carnivores who eat just the meat and no added fat. For example Shawn Baker or Miss Meat. They look great. But when I track roughly what they eat, it is a ration of 1 part protein and less than 1 part fat. How does this work?
Happy for all thoughts :)
