If you eat meat meat, as in complete meat from an animal, you're gonna be ok (although you probably need to supplement Omega 3, something Inuit had in excess because they ate fish too). If you eat organic low fat meat from Trader Joe's you'll have a bad time for various reasons. Not only will you not get enough fats, but you're gonna get very little amount of micronutrients, which are not prevalent in muscle tissues.
- virtuallynathan 8y agoMeat has plenty of omega3 and omega6 (usually more omega6) The ratio in the standard American diet is about 20:1 (3:6) eating a grass fed ruminant will get you much closer then that. Eating some marine products might get you closer to the (possibly optimal) 1:1.
- gnulinux 8y agoI meant to write Omega 3, that's a typo, fixed. (i.e. animal muscle tissues are usually too omega 6 rich, so you need extra omega 3 sources)
- latch 8y agoI don't think this is 100% true. Some wild meat is too lean. The other name for "protein poisoning" is "rabbit starvation." Wiki makes 2 separately sourced references that eating nothing is better than only eating rabbit meat (1) (1) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_poisoning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_poisoning
