About this episode
Demetrios is currently in his fifteenth month of following the carnivore diet. Initially, he used raw honey with the comb as a substitute for sugar, which helped him gradually reduce his cravings for that harmful substance. However, around the second or third month, he started experiencing significant insulin spikes, sugar cravings, heartburn, and increased hunger even from consuming honey. As a result, he decided to stop using honey. At around the sixth-month mark, he experimented with incorporating fruit into his diet. He cooked a steak and added a cut apple to his meal, but he immediately felt unwell after consuming the apple. Since that experience, he has avoided both honey and fruit due to the negative effects they had on his body. Whenever he consumes honey or fruit, he notices a quick return of inflammation, pain, brain fog, and a complete lack of energy that lasts for at least 24 hours. Despite this, he still occasionally experiences cravings for honey, although he does not have the same desire for fruit.
