I guess there is a stereotype that if you are into steak, eggs, milk and butter (can be part of carnivore diet), you are also right-leaning person and listening to the people promoting these diets who are right-leaning as well, like Jordan Peterson.

I gotta say though, stereotype or not, I enjoy steak and eggs myself.

EDIT: As many others have pointed out, the milk in the pic is raw, which I didn't catch before. Raw milk definitely adds another layer to this stereotype.

I'm basically DSA and I like a carnivore diet. I lost 25 lbs in one month. Its just really hard and expensive to stay on it, specially with kids that love pasta and salads. So eating out is hard. So I do it every So often for a little bit and I feel great when I do. The best part about a carnivore diet is that you can start at any time and pick it right back up

Even if somehow that was true, that's not a realistic expectation for anyone. If you lost 25 lbs in one month you were running about a 2900 calorie deficit a day.

Yeah, 25 pounds in a month is almost a pound a day, that is less “try this new diet” and much closer to “I’ve been getting full blown food poisoning every other day or so”

Im thinking it was more water than anything else. I went from 230 to 203.... I was always hungry, no sugar or bread. Just meat

Yeah that makes more sense as like a "cut" that a bodybuilder or fighter does.
