Carnivore “bad for performance” you need carbs to win
You no can go fast without carbs
For some weird reason I am the oldest human on planet earth to ever row 500m in 1:15 (on carnivore)
No keto kitchen is complete without a solid pizza recipe. Try this instead of delivery this weekend.
Even my non-keto friends love this one.
The Fathead Pizza Recipe:
Macros: 96F | 68P | 20C
Ingredients
• 6 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 oz almond flour
• 1 oz cream cheese
• 1 whole egg
• desired toppings
Directions
• Place the 6 oz of cheese and 1 oz of cream cheese in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
• Microwave for 1 minute, stir and warm longer until fully melted.
• Add the 3 oz of almond flour to the melted cheese and stir.
• Once that is blended together, add the 1 egg to the mixture and blend until it makes a dough.
• Add in your desired seasonings and knead well.
• Take the dough and place it on a stone pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Flatten the dough to the size of the pizza you would like using parchment paper. At this point, you can make it into whatever shape you would like and however thick or thin you desire.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes and then flip over the dough.
• Back on the opposite side for an additional 5 minutes.
• Add desired toppings and broil in the oven until toppings are crisp and the cheese toppings are melted.
• Dig in!

What has it done for you?
8000 BC: "Plants are what we eat when the hunt fails."
3000 BC: "Grain and vegetables are what we feed the slaves."
500 BC: "Lentils and barley are the diet of the poor."
100 AD: "Bread and circuses for the mob. The legions get meat."
1200s: "Pottage and roots are what the serf gets. The lord eats venison."
1700s: "Vegetables and porridge are what the starving eat."
1800s: "The Irish are surviving on potatoes. The landlords are exporting the beef."
1900s: "Plants and grain are wartime filler. We're rationing the real food."
1950s: "Plants are cheap. Feed them to the poor."
1970s: "Plants should be the BASE of the pyramid. This is science."
1990s: "Plant-based is emerging as extremely healthy, actually."
2010s: "Plant-based is optimal. Meat is the problem."
2020s: "Plant-based is saving the planet!"
2025: "Plant-based is the healthiest diet on earth. The science is settled."
You: noticing that the diet currently being sold as enlightened and optimal is the same one every ruling class in recorded history fed to the people it was trying to keep weak, compliant, and grateful.
Fat-adapted athletes can spare muscle glycogen.
I maintained incredible muscle fullness at 3.9% body fat during my last prep because my body had learned to preserve glycogen while burning fat for fuel.
Carbs were not needed for this pump!
Oh, and before all the trolls jump in the comments about me taking roids...do your homework. I compete in natural shows and I document all my bloodwork. Quit selling yourself short. The human body is capable of so much more than you give it credit for!
Six eggs for breakfast? People are concerned about your cholesterol.
Processed oatmeal, fruit juice, and sweetened yogurt for breakfast? People applaud you for being "healthy"
We have it backwards.
The difference between these two people wasn’t the training-I trained very hard in my 30s and could deadlift close to 800 lbs-the difference is diet! In my 30s I ate too much food, and it was driven by my food choices not my will power
Vince Gironda, the Iron Guru, built champions in the 1960s on a diet of:
- 36 eggs daily (called 'a natural alternative to steroids')
- Steak at every meal
- Raw cream
- Liver tablets
- Zero carbs for weeks at a time
His students won Mr. Universe titles eating what modern coaches call "impossible for muscle growth."
Arnold trained under him. Larry Scott won Mr. Olympia following his methods.
But sure, you need 400g of carbs daily to build muscle.
The carb companies weren't sponsoring magazines in the 1960s. That came later. Along with the advice to eat like a carb-loading endurance athlete instead of a strength athlete.
>Be Roman gladiator
>Fed barley and beans
>Purpose: fatten you up fast
>Provides protective layer from wounds in the arena
>Citizens eat meat when they can afford it
>You eat peasant food
>Get massive but it's mostly water retention and fat
>Die in arena at 24
>Fast forward to 2026
>Vegan bodybuilders study "gladiator diet"
>Eat tons of grains and legumes
>Think this is what made gladiators strong
>Gladiators ate this because they were slaves
>Not because it was optimal
>You're voluntarily eating slave rations
>Calling it evidence-based nutrition
Walking 20,000 steps daily burns roughly 600 extra calories compared to just standing around.
Not eating a chocolate bar: 600 calories saved in 3 seconds.
One requires 3+ hours of walking. One requires not opening a wrapper.
"But I need to burn it off through exercise!"
No. You need to not eat it in the first place.
You can't outrun your fork. The math is brutal and non-negotiable.
Every calorie you eat requires enormous effort to burn. Every calorie you don't eat requires zero effort.
Stop trying to exercise away a bad diet. Fix the diet. Then exercise for actual health benefits, not weight loss punishment.
Fun fact: Your body produces 800-1000mg of cholesterol daily.
That's the equivalent of eating 20-25 eggs.
If you eat zero cholesterol, your liver makes more. If you eat more cholesterol, your liver makes less.
This is called homeostasis. Your body regulates its own cholesterol levels.
The idea that eating three eggs will "raise your cholesterol dangerously" ignores the fact that your body is producing 25 eggs worth of cholesterol daily regardless of what you eat.
Dietary cholesterol has minimal impact on blood cholesterol for 75% of people. For the other 25% (hyper-responders), their LDL goes up but particle size shifts to large fluffy (protective), HDL increases, and triglycerides drop.
Net effect: Improved cardiovascular risk profile.
But we're still restricting eggs because a hypothesis from 1960 couldn't admit it was wrong.
For 99.6% of human history:
- Eating was occasional
- Fasting was frequent
- Movement was necessary
- Sitting was rare
- Sunlight was abundant
- Indoor time was minimal
- Community was mandatory
- Isolation was impossible
- Sleep followed darkness
- Artificial light didn't exist
- Food was scarce and valued
- Abundance was celebrated
- Fat was sacred
Modern life:
- Eating is constant
- Fasting is "disordered"
- Sitting is mandatory
- Movement is "exercise"
- Sunlight is avoided
- Indoors is default
- Isolation is normal
- Community is scheduled
- Sleep is optional
- Screens glow 24/7
- Food is abundant and feared
- Scarcity is dieting
- Fat is feared
We've inverted every single variable that made humans thrive.
Then we're surprised that nobody's thriving.
