The Results
During their year-long experiment, doctors examined the two men and found that neither had high blood pressure or kidney problems that would be predicted from a carnivorous diet. Stefansson only fell unwell once over the year, when researchers forced him to remove the fat from his meat and consume leaner portions. A dinner of sirloin steak and brains fried in bacon fat swiftly cured the disease. His symptoms improved very immediately and thereafter.
Conclusion
Stefansson came to the conclusion that the all-meat diet’s protein was not as significant as the fat. Stefansson began eating a “stone-age” diet in 1955, which consisted mostly of meat and was heavy in fat and low in carbohydrates. He was known for chowing down on globs of butter with a spoon. We can certainly claim that Stefansson was a man ahead of his time, and that he was able to harness the wonderful benefits of Saturated Fat. Saturated Fat is prioritized over carbs in Ketogenic, Carnivore, and Animal-based diet plans.
