    Someone doing a carnivore diet responded to my username in an unrelated thread and told me they were eating all the animals I wasn’t. I guess to try and taunt me? Going on to say they were the healthiest they ever been and I was definitely a sick child.

    I guess I feel own’d. I’ve been throughly own’d. Please continue own’ing. 😂

    I don’t think I eat 10 pounds of food a day. I feel like if I ate 10 pounds of fatty foods a day, I would feel sick to my stomach all day.

    Edit: I confused dezi with centi, so you need to multiply the density for blood with 10. So cholesterol levels were above 1% instead of above 10%, which makes much more sense.

    Original post: Normal human blood has a density of around 10 g/dL (like water, which is the biggest part), so a cholesterol level above 1000 mg/dL (=1 g/dL) means more than 10% of the blood was cholesterol.

    That is for sure not healthy when a value above 240 mg/dL already is in the dangerous category.

        Apparently partly because his body was secreting the cholesterol over his skin in the form of yellow stuff =D

        But yeah, I have no idea how that guy was still able to walk. Maybe because it was so quickly happening that his heart hadn’t yet withered due to the increased blood pressure?

        As far as I have read LDL by itself doesn’t block arteries. Arterial plaque, or calcification attracts LDL to help repair it - in a healthy individual LDL does many things, and repair is one of them -, but for people with advanced cardio vascular disease the “emergency equipment” might end up blocking the entire roadway.

      water’s density is 100g/dl, not 10, so, not quite as severe as you said. the article said that the patient’s cholesterol levels were roughly four times normal.

    “The carnivore diet is a fad diet based on eating large amounts of animal fats and very little of anything else. The patient in this case reported eating nearly 10 pounds of butter, cheese and other fatty foods every day since embarking on the diet—even going so far as to add fat to the hamburgers he consumed daily.”

    I had assumed carnivore was exactly what it sounded like, and just a diet where you only ate meat. This is completely stupid.

    That’s not a carnivore diet, that’s a butter diet.
    And practically no one is a carnivore.
    They eat carrion (meat from animals that they didn’t kill themselves).

      Thanks for pinging me, its a interesting abstract, but I can’t find the actual case study.

      From this report the person was eating 10LBS of butter per day… that… that is wild - 30,000 kcal PER DAY in just BUTTER. That is not a well formulated diet. If anyone has the full case study I’d love to read it.

      NOBODY should follow a diet for dogmatic reasons. We live one life, we all want to highest quality life possible. If your diet is reaching your goals, great - keep doing it. If it’s not working for you, be your own scientist and change things until it works. We are responsible for our own outcomes, nobody else.

      Sunshine - no need for antagonistic attacks, that just makes lemmy a hostile place for everyone.
