I guess he no longer follows a Carnivore diet, nor does he think it is optimal for health. Supposedly he is saying that he came to this conclusion a few years ago, which was also the time he wrote and released his book promoting it. Layne Norton wrote the following on his FB:
My reaction to @paulsaladinomd no longer following the carnivore diets
From @moreplatesmoredates podcast
So first of all I want to credit Paul for changing his mind. Despite our differences & my opinion about his claims, I do want to give credit where credit is due and I will give anyone credit who changes their mind.
That said, this time course doesn’t add up. He said he started experiencing unpleasant symptoms right around the time he would have been finished writing ‘The Carnivore Code’.
So why would you publish this book or at least not make some edits.
Also, Paul did seem VERY convinced during our discussions back in 2018 & 2019 that carbohydrates were a big problem. But now has changed his mind on that. But at the time he seemed extremely convinced. Perhaps, there are other things he was very convinced about that he may be wrong about
He was also a vegan well before being a carnivore. For me from the outside, it appears he seems to oscillate between extreme diets which I don’t think is healthy.
And yes both Paul and I agreed to debate originally on @peterattiamd ‘s podcast, I believe that is still the plan later this year.
Again, I want to give Paul credit where credit is due but I also want to open his mind to the idea that he could have strong convictions about other things (like plants being toxic) that are also wrong.
No shade, just my perspective.
