Low Carb High Fat, Keto & Carnivore
A curated collection of evidence-based resources on low-carbohydrate nutrition, metabolic health, and scientific thinking.
"We know more about the ketogenic diet than any other diet." — Dr. Chris Palmer, MD
"I want to believe as many true things AND as few false things as possible." — Matt Dillahunty
Correlation is not causation. Test for yourself. Learn scientific thinking. Improve.
Six Core Principles
1. Avoid Carbs & Seed Oils
Rice, flour, bread, pasta, mealie meal, potatoes, seed oils. Max 20g/day net.
2. Prioritise Animal Protein & Fat
Low insulin effect, complete, dense, bioavailable, evolution-indicated.
3. Minerals & Salt
When tired, eat more salt. Take magnesium. Medical salt advice is faulty.
4. Test for Yourself
Try for a few months. Taper transitions slowly. Feel the difference.
5. Educate Yourself
Go to scientists who perform research. Always doubt and question.
6. Ask Your Doctor for Evidence
Request study evidence for all-cause mortality or survival improvement. In writing.
