Ash Simmonds – Decades on “Zero Carb”, High Steaks, Carnivores Creed, and Tearing Down Nutritional Dogma
March 22, 2019 / by Scott
Ash Simmonds (@CarnivoresCreeds or High Steaks on Twitter) is a long-term carnivore, nutrition BS dispeller, science synthesizer, internet personality, and computer programmer. Ash is the author of the Amazon bestseller Principia Ketogenica, a Compendium Of Science Literature On The Benefits of Low Carb and Ketogenic Diets. He also authors HighSteaks.com, a wiki and treasure trove of ketogenic and carnivore information, as well as his personal blog Ashsimmonds.com.
Ash and I discuss the following:
- Low human interference diet
- Plants as flavor and not being dogmatic about carnivore
- Gout going away, weight loss, and joint pain relief
- Experiments with overeating, alcohol, ketosis
- Problems with tracking calories and CICO, weight loss
- Meal timing, circadian rhythms, Bill Lagakos
- Fat to protein ratios in depth, fat to satiety, PSMF, Ted Naiman
- Problems with the mass popularization of keto and carnivore today
- And much more!
