Key Points
Starting the Carnivore Diet
The first seven days on the carnivore diet felt overwhelming. The host was initially skeptical about consuming only meat but motivated by years of health struggles, he committed to a 30-day strict elimination diet. Over this period, he had to adapt mentally to the drastic change, grappling with the reality of a meat-based diet.

Post day 70 and into day 700, the host describes how his perception of food changed permanently. He no longer viewed food as an addiction but as sustenance. His health continued to improve, including the reversal of congestive heart failure, showcasing that a carnivore diet can maintain health and vitality.

There is actually a bit of Vitamin C in meat, and without glucose competing for the same transporters (glut4) the vitamin C in meat is very effective in the body. There is no documentation to date (no published case studies) of a carnivore getting scurvy.
