Have you ever eaten only red meat for a short period of time e.g. meat only carnivore diet? Ive never had such a good feeling flat stomach(zero bloat) in my life and supposedly all that iron should be causing bacterial overgrowth and bloating. Yes bacteria need iron to grow but for some reason the iron from red meat doesnt seem to cause the bad effects on the gut that iron is supposed to do. Iron fortified foods do seem to increase bloating and bacterial overgrowth in my experience, but never meat.
I've never tried that, but I did do an Atkins diet many years ago, which was very close to that. I never lost weight on it. It was torchure to follow. All I could think about was having a sip of orange juice. How did you feel health wise, other than having bloat down?
