Can't answer your question but I can give you my opinion and an interesting story. Whenever eggs have a close date they go on sale really cheap at the supermarket. Not too long ago I bought 12 dozen for fifty cents a dozen. I have no hesitation at all keeping eggs three or four months past their expiration date. When I was a kid my dad would take me to bars with him. Back then it was OK to do that kind of thing. There was a basket with hard boiled eggs sitting on the counter and I never saw anyone ever eat one for the whole time I was growing up... My dad lied to me and told me they were for decoration. One day a guy walked in and bought one, cracked it on the counter and ate it. I have no idea how old it was but I imagine it wasn't too far off from being a dinosaur egg! After the man left I began talking about it with my dad. The bartender overheard us and told me that he had just made those eggs this morning but I knew he was lying!

The profoundest of speculations often lead to most profound discoveries, when they aren't leading the entire world astray...I would say it seems a reasonable hypothesis regarding how the guts of vegetable consumers if functioning properly would develop protective symbiotic biofilms specifically designed to obtain optimal nourishment from the foodstuffs being consumed, while at the same time producing factors that would mitigate the detrimental effects of decaying and indigestible fiber. Perhaps many people who do better on the carnivore spectrum have lost the capacity to form healthy protective vegetable loving biofilms, while those struggling with attempts to adapt to a more carnivorous diet are being hindered by a gut biome still holding on to its vegetable armory coating.... In the next few years many of these questions will likely be systematically studied in greater detail than ever before.

Until then...much of what I claim here is based on personal intuition and broad sweeping deductions.....I have found no bona fide arbiter of truth, who is following along these lines of inquiry, to my liking......I've read some of the mainstream literature and it seems a number of breakthroughs in this field are right on the horizon.....such as how its been known that genes transfer between separate species within biofilms...but the language used to describe these processes of gene learning, is lacking in depth of expression or greater meaning, and does not communicate the true magnitude of what is actually happening on all levels of biological life. The top researchers on this cutting edge seem in many ways hamstrung by misconceptions stemming from the mercky origins of Germ Theory, combine with darwin's random mutation notions and are not viewing these complex phenomenon through the lense of lamarckian epigenetics.

Though much of this is fascinating to ponder over and gawk upon, I still question the utility of these fields of study in producing results which would be of actual help to people alive today. Sure they may eventually get around to studying the gut composition of raw meat eaters, but even if they genetically map out all the gut organisms that make meat based diet adaption viable, and can prove there is merit in following this kind of diet for certain people, it still remains to be seen what would be done by the lab coats in charge. Will they see the error of their ways, do a 180 turnabout and convert the entire establishment over into a more earth centered biologically holistic system, or will the thiefdoms fight amongst themselves over the patent rights so that they can continue to concoct even more absurdly artificiously contrived ways of prescribing profit driven ineffectual forms of medical intervention.

Question to Sabretooth: at what time did you gain weight again? how far into the diet? I've just went from 70 to 76 kg in a couple of days but it could also just be due to the fact I've been with my parents eating shit here and there.

I began gaining weight right away....being emaciated from vegetarian experimentation prior to becoming raw paleo gaining weight was easy when eating two pounds of fatty meat every day. I gained around 30 pounds within three months before stabilizing around 175.

the jury is still out on what a gut biome would be for a long time zero carb carnivore.  Or in other words, when we think about rebuilding it with a healthy bio, what really is going on there?   Does meat and fat support candida at all?  Or any of the other yeasts and fungi and fermentation that cause intestinal permeability,  which are like little harbors for more of the same.  And how much of our immune system is working overtime dealing with a leaky gut full of pathogens?   It's been recently questioned as to whether these 'healthy' fatty acids produced by the fermentation process of prebiotic foodstuffs can actually offset the damage done by the waste material ( acidic ) excreted by these fatty acid producing bacteria.    So much to discover.
