more muscle glycogen when you're on a high carbohydrate, low fat diet.
And muscle glycogen is the stored form of carbohydrate within the muscle and then a minor amount in the liver.
And for every gram of carbohydrate that you store as glycogen, there's three-ish grams of water stuck to it.
And so just sitting there, you're carrying more muscle mass, more fullness on a non-ketogenic diet.
Well, okay, it's a little silly and it's a little extreme, but it has some merit to it.
So the carnivore diet, when you get on it, it's similar to how when people go on a keto diet after they've been doing the standard Western diet since forever.
So the standard Western diet has too much of everything.
It's got too much total calories, too much refined carbohydrate.
It's got too much of this type of fat and too much...
It's got a moderate amount of protein, but you're also eating everything under the sun, from burgers to fries to cakes to ice creams to cookies, in addition to pasta and everything else.
So when you go from that excess of everything...
to the carnivore diet, you automatically and spontaneously eat far fewer calories than you used to on your standard Western diet.
So the carnivore diet is actually the lesser of the evils when we're comparing it to the standard Western diet.
And
You can even try to optimize the carnivore diet.
Like some people engage a carnivore diet that is just extreme, like beef and salt.
So that is very appealing to people who have a tendency to jump on the carnivore diet because it's even more extreme.
And people with tendencies towards carnivores,
the extremes they'll, a lot of them are ex-vegans actually, carnivores, because they can only be on one extreme side or the other.
It's tough for them to be in the gray scale here.
