You can read our fructose article here: www.nutritionwithjudy.com/how-fructose-from-fruit-causes-fatty-liver

The reality is that the fruit question has been solved, and we know. Richard Johnson has basically proven it. Fruit is designed to help us gain fat and change our metabolism to survive a famine. This is why fructose tastes so good. We evolved to eat in in the fall, and as much as we could get our hand on while it was available, and the extra fat and metabolic changes we went through, it allowed us to survive the annual winter famine our ancestors faced. Fruit is not going to help you become any healthier, but is good for helping to survive a famine.

I added fruit two years into carnivore. My sleep instantly worsened. Cortisol spikes and or histamine flares at night, neuropathy in feet. Had to quit a few weeks in. Before that I also tried adding white rice for satiety, which worked well for only one month and then just irritated me from then on. A while later I did a probiotic + apple pectin protocol and this solved my 1.5yr long carnivore satiety struggle. But I then also felt good enough to transition to keto. I'm now on keto, gut is good but other symptoms returned compared to carnivore. Strict carnivore is the best, especially for inflammation/pain, if it works for you

I live un a mouldy house and can’t afford to move. This has helped me be strong and I haven’t gotten sick for years. In the beginning I was drinking about 2-4 ounce in the morning and in the evening. I never noticed any problems with taking it on an empty stomach. My liquid solution is the same as yours, 1 tsp in one litre. For the Iodine, I sometimes take more sometimes less. I usually take 5 drops but I have never taken less than 2 drops (12.5 mg). I use Lugols Iodine 5%. Blessings to all of you!

Over the last 4 months I've gradually moved to where I am now which is about 90-95% Carnivore; age 61, type 2 diabetic for 20 years with severe insulin resistance, pre-diabetic before that for another 15 years. My top weight in 2018 was 360. Current weight is 297. I eat primarily (and in this order from most to least); pastured and organic eggs, grass-fed, grass-finished beef, grass-fed butter, pastured and organic poultry/dark meat with the skin, raw cheese, Bulgarian yogurt, CoCoyo yogurt, raw A2 golden guernsey milk, on occasion a small amount of veg; (celery, romaine, red cabbage, green beans, fermented raw sauerkraut). 1-2 times per week I'll have 1/2 cup of wild Alaskan blueberries or locally grown strawberries (purchased in season and then frozen), and 1-2 times per week I might have a small apple. So not fruit every day and so far, it hasn't triggered anything. I also practice fasting variation including periodic prolonged water-only fasting, either alternate day or 3-5 day water-only fasting, which I love and I feel fantastic when I fast. After struggling with food addiction for decades and taking non-insulin injectable medications for close to 20 years; 1st was Bydureon, then Trulicity, and most recently a brief period on Ozempic, which I took myself off of 2 months ago, I am now managing the type 2 diabetes with dietary intake, fasting, and strength training (no cardio yet except for rebounding). All of the above is a huge shift for me as previously I ate according to the SAD diet, until 2018 when I went low-carb/keto but still struggled with resistant weight loss (took 18 months to lose 60 lbs. which I regained in 2020 and just lost it again only quicker this time as I've moved toward a Carnivore WOE). My liver enzymes and kidney function are both within normal range after decades of being way off. Cholesterol is good including the ratio. And vitamin D level is now at 80 after many years of it being 20-30. Feeling much better, getting rid of the processed food and harmful seed oils was huge, and I stopped eating conventionally raised meat about 10 years ago. I may get to the point of 100% strict carnivore but meanwhile, 3-4 servings per week of fruit seems reasonable in comparison to how I had been eating. I also wear a CGM so I know exactly how food affects my blood sugar.

Excellent discussion. Thank you.

I recently watched a video by thyroid expert Dr. Westin Childs that suggested some people (I would say I'm one of them) do better with some carbs added into a carnivore diet. Actually, I've never been strict carnivore, but when I went more animal-based in 2018, there were some undesirable consequences. The main one was disrupted sleep. Prior to this I was a fantastic sleeper. Suddenly, I found that although I could dose off easily, I was getting up later numerous times to pee, my mouth would be very dry, and I would get leg cramps. This was a problem that lasted on and off for almost 2 years. Then I stumbled into a health "expert" who said try solving the sleep problem by eating a small amount of carbs before bed. I certainly wasn't going to eat a starchy food like a bagel or bread, as I've been wheat-free for years. But I did try a small quantity (e.g. 1.5 oz.) of frozen blueberries about an hour or so before bedtime. That solved my problem. The health expert explained that without the carbs, it's possible your liver gets depleted of glycogen stores part-way through the night. This invokes a stress response (releasing cortisol and/or adrenaline). You are not going to sleep well when those hormones are active. Dr. Westin Childs says poor sleep is a common issue he encounters with his carnivore/keto patients. Dr. Childs also reported that carnivore/strict keto patients will often see their Free T3 level go down. He says some experts just write this off as a physiologic response, nothing to worry about. But he does worry about it and says your thyroid will not be performing optimally in this situation. Well, guess what, my Free T3 values did drop fairly noticeably when I went animal-based. Another issue he relates with the thyroid is sex hormones. He says you might see your SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) go up, which is not desirable (as well as testosterone going down). Sure enough, I have seen my SHBG rise, It's still in a normal range, but it's higher. I am a slim male, so I certainly don't have a weight problem. And I don't have addictive food tendencies, so I'm not worried about sliding down a slippery slope. I do like the "blueberry" idea and several years along it still works for me. I have no fatty liver based on ultrasounds I've had. My liver enzyme ALT is in an acceptable range, but it does vary from test to test (e.g. 22 U/L, which is darn good, to 38 U/L, which is fair). Trigs are 70-ish and holding steady, and HDL is 60-ish mg/dL. I have always had a pretty crazy GGT level, however. It should be about 20 U/L and mine has ranged from the 60s to the 90s. One of your presenters did say that if a patient benefits from better sleep after adding fruit, you don't want to take that away from them. I certainly agree.

Well, not such easy and not for such extreme. If you do check a biochemistry of humans, you will see 80% fructose will be processed by the liver, 20% will go to the blood stream. Vast amount of 80% will be then converted slowly to glucose via gluconeogenesis. The issue with the NAFLD and fat accumulating is related to the high insulin that blocks the gluconeogenesis. So, if the person doesn't have hyperinsulinimia, then there is no prubl m with the fructose. It is silly to discuss the fructose separately from this condition.

Just one comment on my experience that vegetarians and vegans usually oppose the carnivore lifestyle: Fasting is the perfect possibility for vegetarians and vegans to do carnivore without killing animals. Why? Extended fasting switches on: a) fat-based metabolism b) autophagy a) we then live on our belly fat and visceral fat b) recycling old and damaged proteins into new and correctly folded proteins This argument does not make the vegetarians and vegans start eating steaks, but it shows them that animal based nutrition is healthy.

"you need fruit to sleep, or fruit to hold electrolytes." They may help but they "are" bandaids. While that may not be something you want to hear, it is the truth we've seen. We also run labs so it's not just guess work. Our intention is to help people get to root-cause healing and bandaids will never do that.
