I think some plants can benefit us though. Maybe carnivore plus seasonal fruit. I've noticed keto guys usually rely on coffee.

As food, plants are utterly unnecessary. I posted some links in s/Carnivore where you can find a lot of reports, many of them hard science, as to how this is factual.

I'm not saying no plants can ever help us: I use hawthorn for cardiovascular health and devil's claw (harpagophytum procumbens) for my tendinitis problems. As medicine, plants are great IMHO. But not as food. And the reason is simple: pretty much all plants contain antinutrients: things that prevent absorption of nutrients. As such, you might have calcium in your broccoli, but something that blocks its absorption too. Meat is utterly devoid of antinutrients, meaning you can absorb all of its goodness.

antinootrients

I know, I've tried all the "fad" diets that have been big in the last 10 years including raw carni. I think its a great elimination diet but I'm not sold on low/no carb diets for the longterm. How long you been on it? Do you do dairy/honey?

I'm on it for the last year and a half. I do dairy, because there's no difference in how I feel or my digestion, and the stuff is yummy. But no honey.

I also eat all organic / natural.
