After about a month of a 90% strict carnivore diet, and years of a mostly LCHF diet before that, I have now been hospitalized since Sunday morning for diverticulitis of the large intestine. I won't be able to eat anything but soups and mashed things for a while. Thread

My thoughts on the situation:
I don't know what caused the condition, but I do know I love steak. I know I really wish that carnivore was the way to go for me but to be honest, the healthiest people I know eat a little bit of everything and exercise regularly.

I totally buy that fiat food is bad for us and that we probably should eat less cheap junk, but we all have different bodies. I'm a 44 year old man who enjoys the good life a bit too much and experimenting too much with what I eat is probably a bad idea.

Take care of yourself and don't just blindly follow anything, DYOR, but don't dismiss all the real research that is out there. It's hard to separate the real stuff from the propaganda though, I know.

The doctors think I'll be out of here two or three days from now depenfing on how well the antibiotics work. This first week I'm not allowed to eat anything. I'm on a salt/sugar drip and I had 4 small glasses of water yesterday.

I try to see this as an opportunity to slow down for a while. Trying to live an interesting life can be very stressful. I'm very happy that my #Bitcoin stuff is doing so well, but it's hard to balance that with my normie career and my family life. I probably needed a break.

To conclude - don't be a follower, be yourself. Don't be afraid to be a rebel among rebels. Embrace your individuality.

I think of this scene from Life of Brian a lot. You don't need to follow anyone! You're all individuals! You're all different! (I'm not)
