A study (discussed in GCBC) was done on Vilhjalmur Stefansson and another man. They went on an all meat diet for a year, and they were monitored (through urine samples) to make sure they didn't cheat. They suffered no health problems, and I think their weight was stable or showed a slight loss. I don't have the book handy. I'm sure that Pennington and Anchell add those veggies and fruits because they increase compliance with the diet and do no harm, nutritionally. I've come around to thinking that, while an all-meat diet is healthy, it's absolutely not necessary. The humans we evolved from ate what they could find, so I can't see anything wrong with eating meat, fruits, vegetables and nuts.

That is new to me. Can you tell me where you found out about this? I'd like to know more, because, based on Taubes' book, it really seems that the meat+water carnivores are right health-wise. Since this goes so much against everything I've learned, I'm now looking for all the references I can find. Hi Nicole,

There's some Wordpress misconfiguration. I just re-hiked Maryland in late June. I started in Gettysburg and hiked in to Harper's Ferry on what turned out to be the hottest day of the summer.

Those folks consume nothing but (fatty) meat and water, generally beef and water. They are not about weight loss at all - they are about health and fitness. I have no problem with eating a lot of meat as I like it, and it agrees with me, but I don't think I could make it on water and home-made pemmican. This diet as originally devised and tested *was* all meat, but they had compliance issues with dieters so moderate carb portions were added totaling around 160 calories a day.

I like meat and all, but... oof. Still, having done a near-zero carb thing before, I know it works. I just find it to be unpleasant. 1+lbs of meat a day? I like meat and all, but… oof.
