Also tries to fight Bro Science in nutrition and sports Those who say "don't eat too much meat" are well-intentioned but misguided This research is based on bad science Ignore the fact that CARBS might be making these peoples' health bad Shawn has muscles for days He is also in peak health condition Part of the "zero carb" movement Extreme ketosis Shawn definitely does receive hate mail It's pretty polarizing, but he tries to laugh about it If you tell people we should eat meat like we have been for the last millions of years, people attack you! The epidemiology that says eggs and meat will give you disease is awful work The research that "supports" such hypotheses is cherry-picked and ignores variables that actually cause disease, such as sugar intake and the like No direct association Ex: you get a sunburn from eating ice cream Our bodies do not require carbs Our body can turn fats and proteins into glucose Fiber is also not a necessity Can be helpful depending on what your diet looks like Fun fact: Shawn has smaller bowel movements, as do most who are low/no-carb because you are using up more of your nutritious food, and there is less waste!
