Tocopherol Vitamin E - deficiency symptom? if only nourishing from the animal kingdom

science
#1

Hello,

I have read for hours…
before I started my no plants experiment.

What I have not found is this topic: Vitamin E

The only significant quantity is mentioned in plant-based oils, nuts and seeds.

The deficiency symptoms listed in the German Wikipedia are

dry wrikled skin (my doctor asked about this!)
fatigue
performance weakness
concentration disorders

These are exactly my issues after 30 days of eating only meat (ground beef), a few eggs and less cheese.

I don’t want to change a lot in my diat, but I am concerned about this item.

I have read already a long thread started by Emacfarland. Eric Macfarland
Her problems with “zero carb” were the same as mine.

Try salmon. 6 oz is 45% of your RDA for Vitamin E.

Chicken thighs, pork roast, egg yolks.

This is much salmon for only 45 %
That is a whole meal.
I can’t afford this either. (I live on welfare)
Where do you get this numbers?

I have only the number of 2,39 mg / 100 g
not a lot, but better then nothing.

I know eggs also contain some Vitamin E.
But you have to eat ten eggs a day for the RDA of 10 mg.

Other suggestions?

first of all you’re in the zero carb forum so that means you’re eating only meat right? I would challenge the doctor to show me the minimum daily requirements or even recommended daily requirements for people that only eat meat. We already know we need very little vitamin C compared to sugar eaters. I could also send you to long-term carnivores like Kelly Hogan Williams and Amber O’Hearn that have no deficiencies or any symptoms. They’ve been eating only meat for 10 and 11 years.

How about taking a vitamin E gel cap. They’re pretty cheap, easy solution to your problem. The fish oil that I take supplies vitamin E.

Just for the numbers:

Chicken: 0,10 mg / 100 g
Pork roast 0,21 mg / 100 g

The highest amount I have found in
cheese about 0,7 / 100 g and
butter about 2,0 mg /100 g

But counting all the time is one thing I really don’t want!!!
And either I don’t want to take supplements…
Only natural real food.
Hope so.

But my skin is really worse ::cry:

If you don’t want to take any of those suggestions, you may need to re-evaluate and revise your way of eating. It’s hard to resolve something if you won’t take the steps.

#9

I want to know what to do.
But it had to make sense for me.

The veterans of “zero carb” or all-meat claim,
that this diet is healthy
that you need no supplements and
the common answer to problems is
“just eat more meat…”

For most of the problems, I can follow the logic
but for this one, I haven’t found an answer.

Now
I want to KNOW how this can be.
I’m curious.
I always want to know the why of the problem in general.
It’s not all about me.
Therefore the # science!

I think it had to be possible to thrieve without taking supplements.
It’s not natural.
Provided you don’t have a genetical disfunction in your metabolism.

think about the fact that science is telling people to eat a balanced diet which is full of carbs sugar and unhealthy fats and nightshades and anti-nutrients & phytotoxins and oxalates. Science doesn’t have all the answers do they? And remember again, that science has no idea what nutrients a zero carb carnivore diet requires.

@Tatjana I had similar symptoms after going carnivore for two months (following 2 years of keto) but extensive research led me to suspect vitamin D and omega 3 deficiencies.

I added daily cod liver oil and decided to start eating meat more rare. It feels right.

#12

I used to take an omega3 oil, which contains also Vitamin E for conservation. I will take this again. First I have taken it, because of my high consumption of almounds and nuts. I thought without them I dont’t need it any more.
Vitamin D is a of my doc recommandated years ago. I was deficent,
I take it daily. And the last blood-test was okay - 2 weeks ago.
