All right.

So from not shitting blood to other benefits.

Yeah, people talk about stuff like the carnivore diet curing arthritis, psoriasis, a lot of autoimmune stuff, actually.

And people will also say it helps them with brain fog.

And that could also be an autoimmune issue.

Uh-huh.

And maybe, like I said, some people are uniquely sensitive to something in various plants.

And this diet functions basically as an elimination diet for these issues.

But there may be another explanation.

The carnivore diet is also a ketogenic diet.

You know, on a ketogenic diet, you might have a steak and a side of broccoli.

On this diet, you're just having the steak.

Either way, you're going to wind up in ketosis.

Yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

And there is some evidence that for some people going into ketosis tamps down their inflammation.

It might have to do with one of the ketones that your body makes, BHB.

It's thought to be an anti-inflammatory agent.

So I don't think there's anything special about the bucket loads of meat for people who are seeing a benefit with this diet.

I think it could be that they're just in ketosis, which for some people, they feel really good in ketosis.
