Sugar diet is all over YouTube.
Marc Bell and Cole Robinson are screaming and rambling on about how it’s a miracle diet.
As the weeks go by it looks like Bell is wasting away his muscle…looks very sickly…seems to have trouble speaking coherently…and yet he can’t stop praising this diet.
Eating only candy, jars of jam, cans of pears in syrup… then guzzling pop, sprinkling sugar on fruit, sipping honey, and sipping maple syrup.

All things in moderation might be a good motto.
Just visually the zero carb carnivore type diet doesn't seem to be the fountain of youth. Insulin isn't all bad, "sugar" isn't evil necessarily. But eating tons of sugar isn't a panacea either. But from what I've seen this isn't something they do every day.

yes... thats a diet I can live with - throw some steak in there.. might as well throw some ice cream in there, too

TA would agree.
Also, Der Führer loved his sweets.

It works but I would only do it short term if you want to keep your teeth.

This is the first I've heard of the sugar diet but i know a lot of people around me touting their 'carnivore' diets. Not one of them has been able to tell me what impact this is having on their microbiome beyond one guy just saying 'it doesn't matter'.
I would have thought in 2025 there's enough information out there to be better informed.

Anytime someone uses the word diet I stop listening stop counting calories and start counting nutrition
Mark Bell looks 60 these days

There are a lot of differing ideas. Many carnivores also think vegetables are evil, outright toxins. I just look at zero carbers and to me they don't necessarily look very youthful. Much better than strict vegans though. I've eaten extremely unhealthy with extreme amounts of sugar in my life, plus cycling high insulin too. it's a miracle I don't have diabetes. Maybe genes is the #1 factor in longevity, not saying choices don't matter. A "clean" bodybuilding diet should be bad for longevity too because on paper stimulating mTor and IGF-1 constantly (through high protein primarily, but through high calories and carbs as well) should lower life expectancy.
Apart from diet I think stress and sleep are big factors wrt health. Getting too obsessed with diet will probably hurt you through stress :D
WRT gut microbiome, what do you think about pre- and pro-biotics? I have taken antibiotics recently and I thought about perhaps supplementing with bacteria products like VSL 3 but many scientists seem to be skeptical of them. I'm just drinking some Kefir daily.

sugar is the worst, good thing is i`m allergic to the white powder 8)
-
Sugar diet and a lot of vaccines seems like the way to go.

Mark Bell is all over the place with his stance,go carnivore, buy my steak shake, went from a powerlifter to wanna be bodybuilder, then traded all that for nonstop running.
I like his drive, he has achieved a lot with marketing and selling his wraps, to which I use and find to be what works for me.
As far as these fad diets they are just another flavor of the month gimic.
Nothing beats a blend of the basics, whole foods, animal protien, whole wheat breads potatoes. May e a vitamin pac and for you oiled thong lovers better have some tren in the mix as well as a bag of the real white powder from South America.
-
diet seems to be totally irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, there are people who just eat french fries three times a day and fuck all else who are in reasonably good health

Glad your back, Swifty.

Yeah, he just jumps from one trend to the next. I used to enjoy the guys YouTube but I can't stand the fad-hopper he's become.

I'm mystified that he somehow built some kind of fortune with the slingshot. Has it really been that popular??

what is funny is , he preached carnivore and keto for years. now he is on the sugar diet, but still sells carnivore supplements.

The gut microbiome without any plant food? A case study on the gut microbiome of a healthy carnivore
In our study, we showcase the compositional and functional characteristics of the gut microbiome in an individual on a carnivorous diet, finding no differences in comparison to a control cohort.

The Sugar Diet may temporarily result in body fat loss and better insulin sensitivity because it's a starvation "diet."
Starvation, by severely restricting or eliminating essential fatty acids and essential amino acids along with other nutrients found in dietary fats and proteins, increases levels of the hormone Fibroblast-growth factor 21 (FGF21):
FGF21 and the late adaptive response to starvation in humans
As periods of famine were an important aspect of the human evolutionary environment, the body’s adaptive ability during periods of starvation was a key survival advantage. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has been described as a key liver-secreted hormonal mediator of the adaptive response to starvation, a finding primarily based on data generated from mouse models (1, 2).
It might seem counterintuitive that a starvation-induced hormone would also prevent diet-induced obesity and improve glucose tolerance, but treatment of ob/ob mice with pharmacologic doses of FGF21 lowers glucose and insulin levels during oral glucose tolerance testing. Furthermore, FGF21 transgenic mice demonstrate improved glucose clearance and insulin sensitivity as compared with their WT littermates. FGF21 mediates this improvement in glucose clearance in part through an insulin-independent pathway involving glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) . FGF21 transgenic mice are also resistant to a high-fat/high-carbohydrate diet; despite eating more food than do their WT littermates, they gain less weight, an effect that appears to be at least partially mediated by induction of thermogenesis (9–14). Why a hormone that is upregulated during starvation would enhance weight loss and induce thermogenesis is unknown...
...studies have found evidence for FGF21 release in response to more narrow nutritional interventions, such as with acute carbohydrate administration (44) or prolonged protein restriction (45).

Yes to all this. A pure bodybuilding diet, according to all the research currently available, isn't necessarily the healthiest way to age.
I've also been reading a bit of research suggesting there's very little benefit to be had by taking probiotic supplements and that pre-biotic foods are probably a lot better. So things like the kefir you're taking, fermented stuff - that seems to have an impact. The studies i've read haven't found much change in the microbiome after taking probiotic supplements but I'd need to go back and have a look at specifically what strains were in the supps because there are so many and they all supposedly do different things. And it's the variety of microbiota that is important, not necessarily the amount - so it's possible supplementing with one main strain wouldn't have shown much.

Found this quality sugar supplement at my local Walmart.
Just a good as Weider Crash Weight Gain sugar.
Bought 10 of them.

Yeah I read that some study didn't find any of the supplemented bacteria in the feces, don't know specifically which one it was. Some doctor said, "for all I know, might just be pixie dust in there."
The VSL 3 I mentioned, the strongest one requires a prescription I think, so there could be sides.

Where can I buy a top quality sugar supplement?
Coca Cola enthusiasts say Mexican Coke is superior because it contains cane sugar, but this was taste-wise :D

I heard cane sugar is more anabolic than other types.

Milk is the most anabolic food on earth. It's the lactose sugar (partly) :D

I think stress is by far the biggest killer. Stress, anxiety, anger - all cause massive inflammation. I work hard to not let shit stress me.
My advice - not that anyone should take advice from me - if you don’t live near the woods or swamp - MOVE !! Live in a place where you can fish and kill animals for food. Have weaponry and ammunition- a well and solar power. (My compound is not complete yet but we will get there)
If we could get back to a place where men controlled shit like early America - where you could shoot problem people in the face until they were dead. Where sissy ass leftist men had the righteous fear of being fckd up for pushing weak policies.

here is the thing and any of my jacked get big bros can chime in. these guys promoting the sugar diet , are content creators and snake oil salesmen, they need to come up with something new to keep people buying there products, mark bell is a prime example his videos go not get many views anymore he has preached and practiced keto and carnivore for many years this is the diet that got him lean . now out of nowhere he is promoting the sugar diet. mind you he sells carnivore supplements .

Absolutely agree. Him, Cole Robinson, and Durianrider’s channels were doing horribly. Look at them. You can tell they think this is their opportunity to finally master the algorithm and gain success and a following.
Look how dumb they are frantically posting videos. Like rats on a sinking ship thinking they found a life boat.
Mark Bell with his ridiculous oversized headphones and violent sunglasses. What a joke. They talk and walk around like they’re the kings of the industry yet look at their sub count. Look how few comments they get. They have nothing to offer. So if Mark thinks this sugar crap is the way, the truth, the light…I guess he should stop selling his carnivore supps.
Cole Robinson prescribed an elderly woman to drink gallons of pop to reverse her diabetes. Cole is an obese, double chinned, big gut, out of breath snake oil salesman. Watch his McDonalds egg video or his breakfast video. He’s shaking and stuffing food in his mouth and can’t even speak coherently. Watch him get mocked and laughed at when he went on the Doctors show. Clips are on YouTube. He claimed he could melt away brain tumors with his sugar voodoo diet.
Mark Bell looks like he’s 65 years old. His skin is wrinkled, his belly is protruding, and his muscle is wasting away. And he also can’t speak coherently or not make mistakes when trying to speak. His response to Andrew Hubbermans criticism of his diet was “fuck you.”
And Durian Rider looks like an HIV+ junkie.
You can see they all act like they think this is their redemption and they’re opportunity to finally make it big. They are the true scum of the earth.

he’s the true scum of the earth. Watch him get laughed at on The Doctors show. He claimed he could melt a brain tumor with sugar. He claims to cure diabetes by drinking pop. He posted a playground workout video. He was stumbling around, out of breath, huge fat gut protruding. He needs to go asap. No way in the world anyone is paying him for coaching. Fuck him.

great post natural wonder, and that diet is insane i dont know about you but i could not imagine eating nothing but fruit and gummy bears every day, mark bell has defintely sunk off the deep end for sure. i remember on his podcast and his cohost would have these note pads out and acted like they where taking notes on what the guest was saying ha ha you know they threw that shit out or probably never even wrote anything.

van even though he has his haters on here mike mentzer said if you want to lose fat eat less calories with balanced food choices if you want to gain muscle increase your calories slowly so you dont turn into a hog in the off season. simple but effective

"There is substantial epidemiological evidence that milk consumption efficiently elevates IGF-1 plasma levels by 20 to 30% in comparison to non-dairy consumers "
Is it because of the hormones pumped into cows?

He completely abandoned his snake diet for which his channel is named. He's promoted a few other diets between the snake diet and this sugar diet. Seems to grab onto anything that's trending.

Watch this if you want to know what happens to your microbiome when you stop the fiber (plants/sugar) and go carnivore
This will 100% answer your question directly.
Microbiome is as good as it can be when carnivore
Been carnivore for close to 2 years now. This is the way we are supposed to eat

any issues with constipation? And do eat fruits or advocado? Or do you even crave stuff like pizza and pasta or rice?

Is it because of the hormones pumped into cows?
Not at all. It's mainly the protein, especially the BCAAs. But the carbs as well as the type of fat in milk also plays a part. There's no extra hormones in milk, and even if there was the digestive system would break up the super fragile peptide (amino acid chain) hormones. It's a persistent myth that added hormones do anything to human bodies, for example hormones in milk does not cause early puberty; it's a product of "overfeeding." They put trenbolone in livestock but I don't think anyone has tested positive for tren due to this practice, they are stopped early enough to disappear before slaughter.
Milk really is very anabolic, so much so that some claim it can cause cancer over the long term.
-
any issues with constipation? And do eat fruits or advocado? Or do you even crave stuff like pizza and pasta or rice?
Perfect bowl movements. If you watch the video you will see that it is actually fiber/plants that cause constipation.
Are fruits and avocado plants? No plants on Carnivore, very simple
0 cravings, I no longer see plants as food. Sitting at a restaurant eating a steak while people around me eat dessert. The dessert looks as appetizing to be as does the napkin and candle on the table, its simply not food

I agree I saw the pics Marc has posted recently and he looks like he is 60 and dying. He is my age. I am way leaner and I am actually sick and dying. He does not look good.
