In a video entitled Why I Quit the Carnivore Diet , Vegetable Police, whose real name is Kasey, described the negative effects of the diet on his body. He said he couldn’t “digest a damn thing” due to the lack of fiber, and that the high levels of animal fat “overburdened” his liver.
As a result, eating meat made him feel sick and gave him a rash that started on his forehead and spread down his body to his legs. He has now been eating a diet free of animal products for two weeks. While he still has a rash on his leg, it has cleared up on his body and face.
He says that while he doesn’t feel “perfect” now, “everything just feels better than it was on carnivore.” Fat without fiber Vegetable Police’s experience of nausea on the carnivore diet is the “main symptom” he says he feels on “high fat diets” – except “high fat vegan diets.” “I don’t remember ever getting nauseous eating all the nut yogurts and flax oil and olives and avocados,” he said.
“Like it was more fat than the animal fat I was eating but there’s something about animal fat where there’s no fiber to soak up anything so it’s just this liquid fat thing moving through you and your colon’s just squeezing fat lumps and it’s just like this sucks, man.” R.
