In this short discussion, the speaker shares a personal experience with a carnivore-keto diet period that appeared to “reset” their metabolism. After following a strict low-carb or keto approach, they could eventually eat a balanced, mixed-macronutrient plate—combining meat, eggs, dairy, fruit, and starchy carbohydrates—without the usual negative effects many people experience when consuming fats and carbs together. They describe this as feeling like a return to a “normal” or traditional way of eating, where you don’t have to perpetually restrict one of the three major macros (fat, carbs, or protein). The speaker contrasts this with modern reality, noting that people today often feel “completely messed up” when trying to eat this way, unlike previous generations in the 1950s–1970s who regularly enjoyed butter on potatoes alongside steak without issue. They question what has changed in the food system, suggesting something unnatural or harmful—possibly intentional interference by “psychopaths”—is preventing humans from tolerating this once-normal dietary pattern.
