Man on carnivore diet develops yellowish nodules on his hands, feet and elbows
A trio of cardiologists, two at Tampa General Hospital and the third at the University of Texas' MD Anderson Cancer Center, have reported an incident of an adult man developing yellowish nodules on his hands, feet and elbows after adopting a carnivore diet.
The patient, a man in his 40s, told the doctors that the nodules had appeared three weeks prior to his hospital visit. After questioning, they determined that the patient had adopted the so-called carnivore diet approximately eight months prior to the appearance of the nodules.
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 diet—even going so far as to add fat to the hamburgers he consumed daily.
Blood tests showed the patient's cholesterol was approximately four times normal levels. The doctors diagnosed the patient with xanthelasma, a condition in which yellowish deposits of cholesterol build up in various parts of the body—in this case, on the palms, the soles of his feet and his elbows. His case had progressed to the point that some of the cholesterol was pushing through cracks in the skin.
This guy eats 10 lbs of food a day? That seems like a lot regardless of whether it’s all fat and meat or not.
"The patient in this case reported eating nearly 10 pounds of butter, cheese and other fatty foods every day since embarking on the diet"
What the fuck. No way that's true.
10 pounds of butter is like 32,000 calories... Call that a dirty bulk.
He must have had very adventurous shitting sessions.
Meat constipation. Guy must burned off 500 calories just pushing it out.
Chasing satiety, when one fucking potato would have done it
He was probably not fat enough to be a "proper American" and wanted to fix that.
My dude is feeding himself like someone is trying to make human Foie gras, even his skin has marbling.
Kind of like a mellified man, but with fat instead of honey.
"Pulse: 300! Liver: Failing! Cholestorol: 40?"
"That's not so bad..."
"No, 40 lbs!"
Eating only one thing to the exclusion of everything else causes weird problems? The hell you say!
I mean, I only eat pizza, but it's fine, unlike stupid carnivores or vegans. You see, pizza inherently contains all the food groups, and one piece of pizza is shaped like the food pyramid, so it is, in fact, a good, balanced diet.
That would be funny if I didn’t know people that actually said it with conviction.
Seriously. You can't assume someone is being sarcastic when it comes to food. All sorts of crazy ideas out there.
FDA says pizza is a vegetable. It is the perfect, nutritionally balanced food.
I hosted my younger brother fora few months and he almost exclusively ate frozen pizza, with the occasional taco bell run 😬
course, I'm not much better. I eat turkey sandwiches with veggie soup every dinner, with a big bowl of oatmeal every morning. It's been OK thus far, but sometimes I wonder what else my body craves, and if it is, indeed, brawndo
That's smart. You can evolve so much you get rid of cholesterol through your skin? Doctors hate him!
He craps out of his mouth too!
Studies of ancient people like Ötzi and dental plaque on Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal teeth show that the whole idea of a meat only paleo diet is bogus. They were eating plenty of grains and other plants too.
There's no society that was carnivorous and lived long. Connecting the Inuit peoples, who largely subsisted off of meat, to Canadian society gave them access to canned veggies which increased their average life span by decades. You need to eat plants whereas you can eat animals.
There you have it, the nurture path for wagyu human. His marbling must be off the hook.
How was he even still alive? He's a natural wonder, he belongs in a museum.
He already took care of the embalming too !
Dudes literally leaking his own yolk
I would not call this a "carnivore" diet. This was about eating fat.
Man ate so much butter it's leaking out of his skin
Dude looks like the inside of a popcorn bag.
What a beta male.
Those nodules wouldn't dream of growing on us sigma ones.
I suspect they were not following the diet correctly. 🧐
How do you eat the diet in question‽ Like, first of all that sounds like so fucking much food, but then it also sounds gross, and beyond that eventually you're going to need to shit and I can't imagine it's pleasant when that's what you eat like
vascular genius
Why can't people be normal
Or at least not use the only body they will ever get as an experiment.
"this supermarket is a disgrace! 60%... 70%... Where's the real food!? Where's the 0.5% chopped "meat?" How's a man supposed to live!?"
He's a real alpha male guys.
/S
Carnivore diet based on eating only fat? What nonsense is that! Wouldn’t it be based on eating meat? Otherwise it should be called lipivore.
Apparently it's considered an "elite" diet, because it's so expensive to correctly follow. I'm guessing the addition of fats is either an attempt to lower cost, or they took tips from keto influences (remember the butter in coffee fad?).
Jordan Peterson is one of the people claiming it has health benefits lol
Eating extra fats is one thing (bacon etc) but eating mostly fats is idiotic. Need protein, vitamins, and minerals. Fat has none of those.
Did anyone else get an ad for a keto diet on this?
Wow cool
I heard Catturd had to go to the hospital cause of his anti-fiber diet. Something about his shits not working right. He and this guy should be friends. Idiots.
