Dr. Westman is one of the most well spoken, thoughtful, and science focused doctors I'm aware of. He does not sugar coat (heh) the known science; it's always worth while to listen to him

Admittedly reacting to a poorly researched video is easy fodder, but it gives him an excuse to talk about what we know, and DONT know about carnivore.

That's too bad, clearly he has not been reading widely

Skepticism is healthy. the plural of anecdote is case study - a good place to start research, not to be ignored.

I have to assume that they are hungry when they go through 6 hours of activity without eating.

lol, tell me you never did LCHF/Carnivore without saying it directly... Assume your hungry hahahahahaha... what is worse is that the anti-carnivore person is saying people are lying about their hunger, thats a terrible basis for discussion. Meet people where they are, take them at their word in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

The Diet itself is insane.... It doesn't take a doctor to tell you that it will raise your cholesterol through the roof, give you kidney stones, leading to osteoporosis

NOW I see why Dr. Westman wanted to react to this.

Dr Westman says: That's false.... None of the things he talks about are true.

lol

Carnivores have to count their calories because their food is more energy dense (paraphrasing)

Dr Westman - Ha, if you want to learn about the carnivore diet, talk to someone who knows about the carnivore diet (while laughing).

I love Dr Westman here is how he ends the video

Do we need more research on Carnivore diets - absolutely! I'm all for that. I can't prescribe a carnivore diet as a policy that everyone should do, thought a lot of people are getting health benefits from it.

What a reasonable assessment of the state of the literature.
