Hii! So a few days ago I began a nearly fully carnivore diet. Eating Angus and 85% lean grass fed patties and I have been experiencing these crazy symptoms.

Question with no context: Do you experience what feels like our ancestral psychology of Kill, Conquer or Reproduce endlessly. From eating a carnivorous diet?

It began with this incredible energy and irritation to certain things. That was almost all consuming. Though I had to control of course.

Then this absolute arousal mixed with the want to eat more meat but also nonstop reproduce.

Beyond that I had amazing pain management. Where I got a cut that almost circled my whole arm. Barely any pain. When before that’d sting like a BITCH.

I also today held a 375 F pan and only got one blister and the rest of my hand healed in 30 minutes to an hour and I held it for probably 30 seconds or longer. I’d assume you’d have worse burns. Though most of my hand has no burns, the elasticity of my thumb came back in that 30-1 h. Only thing left is the blister that’s tiny.

Lastly I managed to automatically breathe or just absorb air for 15 minutes rapidly moving. Probably 10-15 reps per 20 seconds until I went 30-40 reps per 20 seconds. I pushed myself to max near the end and that’s when my breathing dramatically increased needing me to actually breathe.

Does anyone else experience this with eating constant meat? It almost feels like Kill, Conquer or Reproduce. If that makes sense.

no, but it does make me want to get on all fours and eat grass and say "mooooo"

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Fun I think

[–] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Has it had any effect on your wings?

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Very likely yeah I mean that’s how I pushed myself to 40 reps every 20 seconds. Before I could only do about 25 to 30 reps every 20 seconds. And that was painful

[–] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 2 points 38 minutes ago

I was just thinking about you the other day. Glad to see you're still around.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I also today held a 375 F pan and only got one blister and the rest of my hand healed in 30 minutes to an hour and I held it for probably 30 seconds or longer.

Yeah, no. First off, at that temperature you'd have ended up hospitalized if you held on to it for 30 seconds, and no, your body will not repair itself in 30 minutes no matter what you think. This is the real world, not X-Files...

Having said that, I feel like you're having different issues and maybe you should talk to a psychologist?

Also, eat vegetables. Seriously, what is it with the Internet and giving people terrible ideas?

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago

I mean my hand is healed but that blister 🤷‍♂️

No one gave me any ideas. Why does everyone assume. Someone has to give you an idea. My body reacts very well to this.

[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Just eat a vegetable dude…

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Don’t even know if I have any I like. My parents didn’t do good on feeding me. This is the first time I’ve had anything like high quality meat in years.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world -1 points 2 hours ago

Hi, YES!

Okay, so like half your post is pure lunacy, but low carb dieting is known to commonly cause hypomania in many people. This is often one of the desired effects of the diet, which often simply manifests as feeling more energetic and optimistic. It sounds like you might be experiencing this effect to an extreme.

I recommend that you (1) immediately come to terms with the fact that you are not in your right mind and (2) eat some carbs and see if you feel more normal. Then work with a mental health professional if you want to continue experimenting with low carb diet strategies.

Hi I'm one of the moderators of !carnivore@discuss.online

Do you experience what feels like our ancestral psychology of Kill, Conquer or Reproduce endlessly

No, the most common psychological effect people report is being very calm and less anxious.

irritation to certain things.

Can you describe the irritation?

Where I got a cut that almost circled my whole arm. Barely any pain. When before that’d sting like a BITCH.

This is not a known affect of eating a carnivore diet, pain sensitivity should be the same

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Well one irritation is when I first started this my body craved the meat itself and I was like deeply hard focused in on wanting to eat more meat.

Secondly. I get this very protective overwhelming anger when for example my wife talks about her abusive mom. That doesn’t feel like anything from mania as I’ve experienced that before but almost an animalistic sadistic anger. That is cold and controlled but the moment you are released it’s beyond anything you’d expect in a human.

Mania when I felt it was this overwhelming heat, unbearable, like every single thing sets you off. Hard to control. This is nothing like that.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You worry me. Go see a psychiatrist, PLEASE. no matter how much you think this isn't mania, this IS mania.

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world -2 points 1 hour ago

This is nothing like Mania. No.

[–] remon@ani.social 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's always nice when someone proves that there are indeed stupid questions.

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world -1 points 1 hour ago

Is it stupid to ask what you experienced?

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You did not "hold" a 200c pan for 30 seconds and escape with one blister and no burns.

Eating meat doesn't rewrite your genetic code and give you heat resistance.

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world -1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah I only had a blister on my middle finger. Everything else came back perfectly fine. I’m not saying that alone did it but I wouldn’t be surprised if it had some effect

[–] protist@mander.xyz 24 points 13 hours ago (15 children)

My genuine advice for you is to find a psychiatrist, tell them everything, and then follow their recommendations

This is the most cartoonish thing I've read about recently. Bravo.

I beg your finest fucking pardon. The fuck did I just read? I get why other comments are saying bait.

I've done basically full carnivore back when my partner first had bariatric surgery because we don't have the largest food budget and she needed to avoid carbs while having the highest amount of protein for the smallest possible volume of food so meat was basically the only thing that fit the bill.

What in the frosted mini fuck are you on about?

[–] Ambiance6195@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Judging by their history id say they were already delusional. Lack of carbs may have cause a psychotic break.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com -3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The opposite actually, there is lots of very promising research on the metabolism mind connection. Basically applying therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (keto) for psychiatric disorders.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

lol "It's only their carnivore diet that is keeping them this lucid!" gtfo

[–] jet@hackertalks.com -1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I didn't say that. Thanks for your consistent downvotes! It reminds me that you are still around!

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I feel like it was a fair reading of what you said.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com -1 points 3 hours ago

Lack of carbs may have cause a psychotic break.

Basically applying therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (keto) for psychiatric disorders.

My intention is to illustrate that the abundance of carbs appears to be more linked to psychotic issues.

lol “It’s only their carnivore diet that is keeping them this lucid!” gtfo

I didn't say, or imply, that the original poster is lucid.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Lots of incoherent exaggerations coming from this account.

Beyond sounding like absolute anti-carnivore hogwash or placebo, it sounds like a weirdly accelerated case of that parasite you can get from eating undercooked red meat.

Fiber is clearly the thing that makes humans sane.
