I also need to eat meat - I physically can tell when I haven't been eating
enough, because I don't get the speed or the endurance that I want when I
don't. In addition, I have also have a problem being underweight and
keeping on the pounds. But I find when I eat enough meat and am running, I
put on weight (which is good). I also lose weight when i stop running - as
I have found this past month with the injuries in my hip!
To supplement my carnivore-ish diet, I try to eat lots of greens, carrots,
fruits (especially banana's), ice cream shakes, and loads of potatoes. Oh
yeah, and Milk, milk, milk. I never actually researched into it to choose
this diet, its just what I prefer to eat and I think it does well for me.
