On our sister-forum, rawpaleodiet, I read a post which reminded me of something. Raw zero-carbers always seem to claim that the gut loses all its bacteria once you go zero-carb as the bacteria are only needed to digest carbs. However, why then do the Inuit and other zero-carber tribes always go in for large amounts of bacteria-rich aged, raw meats(ie "high-meat","high fish" etc.). The fact that they eat such aged raw meat often is an indication that they do actually need the bacteria, after all. Any comments from zero-carbers, here?
Is that true? only carbs need bacteria? how do you know when your gut loses bacteria do you not digest blueberries etc?
The Inuit sure went out of their way to make high meat didn't they? dogs also go out of their way to bury bones etc
I sometimes crave certain tastes such as vinegar which can be replicated in a way from high-ish liver (could possibly be carb cravings) I like the tangy taste of almost high ground beef also.
Maybe 'high' meat works better on zero carb people? less competition from carb loving bacteria which don't produce the 'high' effect.
