This One’s Personal.While updating our Client Onboarding Guidelines this week, I found myself going off on a bit of a rant.Fifteen years ago, my cousin died of a heart attack. I was too broke to fly back for the funeral. I’ve regretted that ever since.So when I see dangerous diet trends gaining traction — the kind that could quietly send someone else’s cousin to an early grave — I can’t stay quiet.Let me be clear: I don’t dispute that some people have had success with the Carnivore diet in addressing certain health issues. That’s great, and I don’t take issue with people sharing those experiences.What I do take issue with is when those anecdotes are twisted into broad recommendations. Worse: when they’re paired with anti-science claims about seed oils, and used to justify sky-high saturated fat intakes.This boom in saturated-fat-pushing, seed-oil-demonizing advice?It’s not going to end well for a lot of people.---Further Reading 📘 From Sigma Nutrition:Cholesterol, Lipoproteins & Lipids: Understanding CVD RiskThe Impact of Diet on Blood LipidsHow Diet Influences Heart Disease RiskThe History of Fat, Cholesterol & Heart Disease (Podcast)🧠 From Uproot Nutrition:A Comprehensive Rebuttal to Seed Oil Sophistry------------Since 2011, we’ve helped 2,000+ busy men get lean, strong, and in control — without supplements, gimmicks, or sacrificing their lives to the gym.👉 Get our Free 15-Day Transformation Kickstart Bundle(Training program, nutrition guide, and 15-step course to help you avoid the most common mistakes.)
