"A man who ate “very extreme amounts of fat and protein” as part of the carnivore diet suddenly developed yellow lumps on the palms of his hands — deposits of excess cholesterol under his skin, his doctor says.

The unnamed patient, who is in his 40s, was eating up to 6 to 9 pounds of cheese a day, plus sticks of butter and other fat that he would add to his daily hamburgers, says Dr. Kostas Marmagkiolis, an interventional cardiologist at Tampa General Hospital, USF Health and Tampa Heart in Florida, who treated him."

 
For eight months, the man had been following the carnivore diet — a high-protein, no-carb plan that focuses on eating only animal products, especially meat, eggs and some dairy; and excludes fruits, vegetables and grains. It means eating lots of saturated fat, which can raise cholesterol, registered dietitian Kristin Kirkpatrick warns.

So I guess 42-54 pounds of cheese per week is "some dairy."
 
I had a buddy who went from wrestling 184 to 125 over the summer cutting lawns in a rubber suit and eating nothing but carrots. He literally turned orange. (Note he wasn’t any good so it didn’t help the wrestling and he became a real lightweight when he started drinking)

Shouldn't this be in the FAFO thread?
