KEFIR On The Carnivore Diet?
Adding kefir to a carnivore diet raises questions, especially for those trying to address health concerns such as reversing fatty liver disease. In particular, understanding how store-bought kefir is processed and the benefits of homemade fermentation is essential for aligning with dietary goals.
Typically, kefir available at the grocery store is only partially fermented. Manufacturers halt the fermentation process before packaging to prevent the containers from blowing up due to pressure from gas produced by thriving bacteria. As a result, the kefir lacks the complete fermentation that many seek for maximum health benefits.
For those dedicated to incorporating kefir into their carnivore diets, starting with full-fat dairy and fermenting it at home is recommended. Extending the fermentation process beyond that of commercial products enhances the microbial benefits of kefir, allowing dieters to more fully harness its potential advantages, such as improved liver health.
"What I recommend is if you want to include yogurt or kefir, then I want you to start with full-fat dairy and ferment it yourself."
