A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Carnivore - The ultimate elimination diet
Purpose
Rules
There are many, many, studies showing these links. I don't think keto is relevant in assessing the risk of meat itself.
And no, meat is not biocomplete. You'll eventually run into vitamin deficiencies if you don't eat anything else. Although you can always supplement.
https://health.selfdecode.com/blog/carnivore-diet/
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2840051/
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/fsn3.3300
https://www.myibsteam.com/resources/carnivore-diet-for-ibs-is-it-effective
Even if it's relatively "sustainable" compared to other meat production, it still has an enormous environmental cost compared to plant foods.
I don't expect to change your mind about this, and if this diet is the only thing that works for you personally to address your gut issues, so be it, I can't really fault you for that.
But anyone else reading this should know that it's neither healthy nor sustainable.
What is deficient?
Everything is in a context, I'm just going to discuss one in your first link (which isn't research, just a blog) - Scurvy. The intuit eating their traditional diet did not get scurvy, famously... funnily enough - meat has vitamin C in it (among other things) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22063662/
Oh, I now realize the first site also lists Vitamin A as a carnivore deficiency, but also says Liver is the best source of Vitamin A..... That is .... some gymnastics there. Let me say, you can't eat healthily by just eating muscle. You have to eat the whole animal - tip to tail. Liver too! Liver is the best thing you ever eat. The fat is necessary, the organs are necessary. That is why ground meat is probably the best food you can get at a grocery store (just behind liver)
The second paper - Food questionnaire applied to a high carbohydrate population (healthy user bias/observational study)
Third paper - They even use 'MAY' in the title, which also means MAY NOT.
The fourth - is a article by a lay person.
This is the poor quality science issue I was referring to in the previous post.
If your going to have a blanket statement like this isn't sustainable - you have to address real counter examples - the intuit lived without plants, and without cancer on a all carnivore diet.
There are other nutrients than vitamin c and a, but If you're eating a high seafood diet and lots of liver, great.
Low carb isn't going to magically protect you from cancer and heart disease. Studies don't have to be specifically on low carb diets to be valid. Also 'may be a significant risk factor' is normal scientific wording for finding a statistical correlation.
More importantly though, even the best farming practices, there is no sustainable or environmentally friendly way to produce meat. Again, I'm not sure what the Inuit have to do with that, given how different our modern meat industry is. But growing food, feeding it to animals (who produce greenhouse gasses), and eating those animals is an extremely inefficient and destructive way to get food. Not to mention the horrific treatment, enslavement, and killing of those animals.
