This is a work in progress since I've never created my own community nor moderated one. Bare with me, but the goal is to create a reference community for data and sources. All logic all the time. While I get this built and you'd like to post something that seems on brand, then go right ahead. However, here are some starter rules
Someone doing a carnivore diet responded to my username in an unrelated thread and told me they were eating all the animals I wasn't. I guess to try and taunt me? Going on to say they were the healthiest they ever been and I was definitely a sick child.
I guess I feel own'd. I've been throughly own'd. Please continue own'ing. π
WHERE ARE YOUR CHOLESTEROL DEPOSITS!?
Just wait till your chlorophyll deposits start showing up, see who laughs then!
Someone's going for the "Labour of love" Darwin award for the dedication in terminating one self life in the worst possible way.
Dude turned himself into beef tallow
Bet his eventual cremation will smell amazing.
i bet it'll burn down the crematorium.
I don't think I eat 10 pounds of food a day. I feel like if I ate 10 pounds of fatty foods a day, I would feel sick to my stomach all day.
Sick gainz.
Why wouldn't you stop though?
Man's extruding butter.
His liver was like: I'll just put this here for now.
Edit: I confused dezi with centi, so you need to multiply the density for blood with 10. So cholesterol levels were above 1% instead of above 10%, which makes much more sense.
Original post: Normal human blood has a density of around 10 g/dL (like water, which is the biggest part), so a cholesterol level above 1000 mg/dL (=1 g/dL) means more than 10% of the blood was cholesterol.
That is for sure not healthy when a value above 240 mg/dL already is in the dangerous category.
How the fuck did he not have a full artery blockage
Apparently partly because his body was secreting the cholesterol over his skin in the form of yellow stuff =D
But yeah, I have no idea how that guy was still able to walk. Maybe because it was so quickly happening that his heart hadn't yet withered due to the increased blood pressure?
As far as I have read LDL by itself doesn't block arteries. Arterial plaque, or calcification attracts LDL to help repair it - in a healthy individual LDL does many things, and repair is one of them -, but for people with advanced cardio vascular disease the "emergency equipment" might end up blocking the entire roadway.
water's density is 100g/dl, not 10, so, not quite as severe as you said. the article said that the patient's cholesterol levels were roughly four times normal.
Argh, I confused dezi and centi, thanks for the correction!
*deci :)
So what are we calling this guy? Butterfingers seens a little weak.
"The carnivore diet is a fad diet based on eating large amounts of animal fats and very little of anything else. The patient in this case reported eating nearly 10 pounds of butter, cheese and other fatty foods every day since embarking on the dietβeven going so far as to add fat to the hamburgers he consumed daily."
I had assumed carnivore was exactly what it sounded like, and just a diet where you only ate meat. This is completely stupid.
Slippery
That's not a carnivore diet, that's a butter diet.
And practically no one is a carnivore.
They eat carrion (meat from animals that they didn't kill themselves).
lol what kind of com is this?
A community for posting interesting things backed by hard, scientific data.

Sweet! Thanks!
