I'm on a all animal products diet for gut and health reasons. I started doing keto for hypertension, once that cleared up I found full carnivore much easier to maintain. The benefits to my health have been pretty amazing. If I cheat, or go off the food plan, I feel it pretty quickly.
If I eat something with sugar now, I can feel my heart rate increase. If I eat some plant products, I can feel my gut bloating.
It does make eating out a little tricky, but most restaurants have a good option on the menu (poached eggs, grilled chicken, etc)

There is interesting published research on the benefits of salt. Salt isn't the hypertension boogyman it's been built up to be, the real hypertension culprit is the sugar and carbohydrates.
oh nice! how is it going? seeing results?
While there is literature on ketogenic diets and metal issues, I've never seen people report "keto calm" like the they do talk about carnivore calm.

Carnivore Calm - How calm do you feel?
I find myself less annoyed and stressed by random life events. Things still annoy me, but it doesn't ruin my day if something goes wrong.
There is discussion in the meta-community about the "mental clarity"

Cells don't have a political ideology - Overcoming Politics in Health - Nick Norwitz

Cells don’t have politics. But nutrition, metabolism, and health sciences are extremely political. How do we handle this discrepancy? How do we navigate towards objective biological truth, science-based health information, and practical wellness solutions in a world where just four letters — #MAHA — can divide a room?
In this video, I attempt to tackle that difficult topic in a way that is BOLD and direct but also nuanced, inclusive, and open-minded. The video also serves as a response to a recent widely circulated podcast between health and fitness leaders Mark Hyman and Andrew Huberman, who dropped a bomb about me during their latest episode.
We explore how scientific discussion, personal identity, and public health messaging collide—and how we can move forward with curiosity and clarity.

agreed, its 100% a lemmy issue. Out of curiosity, why unsubscribe at all? What is the downside?
For example, when I first heard of lemmy-federate, I added the bot to my instance, and then i unsubscribed from lots of communities in my feed, assuming the bot would subscribe, and I could use "subscribe" like a normal user... but the bot didn't subscribe, and i lost all those communities - unless i subscribed again.
Will the bot eventually subscribe again if the followers hit zero? I've waited 24 hours, and so far it hasn't.
Any way to force the federation of the unban later to get the instance to sync the current ban status?
Lemmy-Federate doesn't subscribe if there is a local subscriber already.
Report of the same issue in lemmy support - https://hackertalks.com/post/9701951
If a user is the only subscriber on a instance, and gets banned, and unbanned, then unban wont federate.
If lemmy-federate would subscribe even if there are already local subscribers, then this lemmy issue would be moot for lemmy-federated communities (there would always be at least one subscriber on the instance with the lemmy-federate bot, so the unban gets federated).
Bug - If the only subscriber on a instance is banned, and unbanned, the unban doesn't federate to the instance.
hackertalks.com 0.19.11 - lone subscriber instance
lemmyworld.com 0.19.10 - ban and unban instance.
Single subscriber for a community gets banned, and a hour later gets unbanned. Since the subscriber is banned, the subscription appears to terminate. So there is no federation for the unban a hour later for that community.
note lemmy-federate doesn't subscribe if there is a local subscriber either.

I just wrote a script and iterated over the instance list from lemmy-explorer.
That's a good idea! I tried that, but if your banned from a instance the mod log of that ban doesn't federate back to my instance.

How to see which instances I'm banned on?
I made a post today https://hackertalks.com/post/9682461 which tickled some automod triggers, and got my account banned on at least two instances I know of. If i had to guess, the direct link to the paper pdf may have done it.
I'd like to be able to figure out the list of all instances that got triggered so I can follow-up with the admins to get my account unbanned. Is that possible?

Paper - Subjective Experiences and Blood Parameter Changes in Individuals From Germany Following a Self-Conceived “Carnivore Diet”: An Explorative Study - 2025


Background: Animal-based, or so-called carnivore, diets largely exclude all plant-based foods and are gaining increasing popularity, mainly among individuals suffering from chronic diseases. This study aimed to explore subjective experiences and blood parameter changes of German followers of a carnivore diet.
Methodology: We conducted a statistical survey using a self-designed questionnaire and requesting blood panels. Inclusion criteria were: (i) following a carnivore-type diet for at least one month; (ii) completing the self-designed study questionnaire; and (iii) providing two sets of metabolic blood parameters from the period before and after adopting the carnivore diet. The survey was complemented by qualitative interviews with four subjects on a carnivore diet.
Results: Twenty-four individuals participated in the survey. Fifteen participants (62.5%) were male, and the median age was 46 (range 26-62) years. The majority (n = 16, 67%) reported at least one clinical diagnosis, and

Here is a application of that protocol for glioblastomas : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39639257/ - Clinical research framework proposal for ketogenic metabolic therapy in glioblastoma
The press-pulse model shows lots of promise, and there are multiple ongoing studies with glioblastomas using this protocol.
Basically - deep ketosis, then periods of medicine to reduce glucose and glutamate
the TLDR here is they have quantified the energy consumption and fermentation of cancer cells and show that only glucose and glutamine can produce ATP in cancer cells. This has large implicates for cancer treatments.

Paper - The Warburg hypothesis and the emergence of the mitochondrial metabolic theory of cancer - 2025


Otto Warburg originally proposed that cancer arose from a two-step process. The first step involved a chronic insufficiency of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos), while the second step involved a protracted compensatory energy synthesis through lactic acid fermentation. His extensive findings showed that oxygen consumption was lower while lactate production was higher in cancerous tissues than in non-cancerous tissues. Warburg considered both oxygen consumption and extracellular lactate as accurate markers for ATP production through OxPhos and glycolysis, respectively. Warburg’s hypothesis was challenged from findings showing that oxygen consumption remained high in some cancer cells despite the elevated production of lactate suggesting that OxPhos was largely unimpaired. New information indicates that neither oxygen consumption nor lactate production are accurate surrogates for quantification of ATP production in cancer cells. Warburg also did not know that a significant

German Occupation FN High Power Pistols - Forgotten Weapons

YouTube Video
Click to view this content.
When Germany occupied Belgium in the summer of 1940, the took over the FN factory complex and ordered production of the High Power pistol to continue. It was put into German service as the Pistole 640(b), and nearly 325,000 of them were made between 1940 and 1944. The first ones were simply assembled from finished Belgian contact parts, and included all the features like shoulder stock slots and 500m tangent rear sights. As the war continued, however, production was simplified. The stock slots disappeared first, then the tangent sights, then the wooden grips (replaced by bakelite) and eventually even the magazine safety was omitted. Resistance among Belgian factory workers increased as well, with deliberate sabotage in the form of incorrect heat treating, errors in fine tolerance parts, and sometimes even spending lots of time to give a very fine surface finish instead of making more pistols.
These are a particularly popular subject of collecting, and there are a lot of nuances of the

Boil Water for Tea
Begin by boiling two liters of water. Once the water is at a rolling boil, add the tea bag to prevent bitterness and enhance the flavor of the tea.
Using Allulose
A unique feature of the sweetener allulose is its ability to dissolve quickly in room temperature water. One cup of allulose is stirred into room temperature water for the tea's sweetness.

ALSO! You DON'T have to take any supplements in general. If you need to take supplements to get basic nutrition, then by definition your diet is deficient. Carnivore isn't. If you get tested and have a mild deficiency for some reason, which can rarely happen, that's when you think about supplementing. One thing to remember is that most people don't get enough sunlight, and if you're in the temperate latitudes you wont get enough anyway for 9months out of the year, even if you spend a lot of time outside. Animal fats and butter have vitamin D already in them, but if you're not getting enough for whatever reason, you can think about taking vitamin D3 (not D2) then.
