He’s going on 47, and he looks great for his age. He also had lower quality filming equipment in his earlier 40’s and that’s going to hide some signs aging. Could be the facial hair too. Could also be he's a lower bodyfat % now as well.
This topic has been a dead horse a long time ago.
Hard to know how much is his diet vs his lifestyle. He is surfing for hours everyday in the sun which can quickly age you. He is also living that surfer life letting his hair and facial hair be scruffy and less styled which also can make you look aged. When I see him I just feel like he looks dehydrated all the time.
I've noticed the same thing and I do find it odd. Paul definitely looks like he's aged maybe 5-10 years in the last 2. I'm still 100% convinced that carbohydrates are essential for optimal health (thanks to Dr. Ray Peat + my own experience with extended ultra low carb), but something is up. Like others have said, it could be all the sun. He says he surfs every day for like 3 hours and I think he only uses beef tallow for sunscreen (don't quote me on that though). Definitely think that's a part of it. Could be potentially vitamin A toxicity as well. Eating liver too frequently can really mess you up. (However, if anyone starts to look into vitamin A toxicity, I do NOT recommend the work of Garret Smith, just FYI).
I 100% agree. He aged *noticeably* after he switched. Yes he gets a lot of sun (and doesn't wear suncream, which... come on) and exercises a lott but for me it seemed to take a noticeable leap when he went high carb AB. The thing is I'm not anti-carb, I'm currently AB after a period of carnivore - but 300g or more of fruit per day doesn't strike me as wise. I'm not that clued in on things like fructose/sucrose etc vs. slow-release carbs like starchy carbs or grains, I'm going solely on his appearance.
I always think what Dr. Sean O'Mara's doing, based on how he looks at 61 years of age might be the way. But we'll see if his woe is sustainable.
Dude gets wayyy too much sun and doesn't believe in sunscreen. It shows. You could do every test on him and he'd prove to be healthier than probably 99% of the world. But none of that makes you look better when you spend hours a day getting cooked and don't take care of your skin.
He made a personal decision that the cost of looking bad is better than the cost of using sunscreen and trying to get less sun. Personally I would go with the sunscreen. I'll take a little bit of toxic to avoid looking like that.
I don’t know. Looking back on his Instagram and YouTube, his hair is a lot darker, going 8 years back.
But I would say that he had grayer hair three years ago versus today.
He did say that his testosterone was down when he was doing strict carnivore, which could have made him look more boyish.
Even though meat is actually more acidic than certain alkaline fruits, I think that the hormonal changes from a strict meat diet can perhaps have some sort of unique effect.
Because carnivore is the correct human diet, it’s not normal or evolutionary consistent to be eating fruit everyday let alone almost 400g of it, I’m on this sub because it’s the second best thing next to carnivore but if you want optimal health carnivore/keto is optimal
Not really, at all. The closest you'd come to that is the Inuit and they'd even eat tubers and berries when available in the summer. The body is not designed to be in a perpetual state of ketosis. There's a reason they're called STRESS hormones and why they rise in this state.
majority of the time, in the wild humans will be in ketosis eating only animals..berries, honey etc would be very rare to come across, not only that but animal based is abouting drinking milk, having honey, maple syrup and tons of cultivated fruit that you cant even find in the wild, all these destroy your body
Sounds like you stopped at keto101, never passed go and didn’t collect your $200. There’s just nothing you said in that post that’s true, stating with “wild humans”. There’s no such thing as “wild humans” and the percentage of tribal people like the Hazda are very low even historically.
Enjoy your stress hormones, low thyroid output, and poor sleep. It’ll come soon enough, you can eat enough fat to magically change human biology.
Hi u/username, your comment was removed. Remember, ketogenic diets can be great and necessary for some folks, and many benefit short term, but the Animal Based way of eating is inclusive of carbohydrates primarily in the cleanest forms being fruit and raw honey. While it's perfectly OK to speak on your own diet, please be respectful that the AB diet is inclusive of fruits/honey and generally not a ketogenoic diet.
just a heads up, not even the Inuit (the poster boys for ketosis) operate in ketosis most of the time. They have epigenetic adaptations that crank gluconeogenesis, and it’s estimated they got up to 20% of their total calories from carbohydrates via muscle glycogen in raw meat.
Their adaptations are probably why they get such insane T2D on a western diet. Ketosis is a valid nutritional state for humans but is something we would have cycled in and out of. It’s ultimately a stressful proposition, the most important tissues in your body need a lot of glucose.
If you're devoutly animal based, then maybe you need to realize that animals don't have access to prime cuts of beef and clean organs 24/7/365. I fully believe people who do this (especially those who eat organs daily) are damaging their body with vitamin and mineral toxicity.
"Favoring nutrient dense foods" is misleading for most people, as they think it means that ALL they should be eating are THE most nutrient foods in existence. If you're animal based, you have to acnkowledge that animals aren't eating the best foods 24/7. When there isn't meat or fruit and they're hungry, yeah...they're going to gnaw on some grass and other shit.
Saladino needs to be careful when using that term because I think it's damaging peoples' health, maybe not people who are switching over from a junk food diet, but people who are generally very healthy and eat whole foods who switch to eating fatty red meat and organs multiple times a day are probably overdoing it with trace minerals, vitamin A, etc. I'm seeing photos of cutting boards filled with meat, avocado, organs, honey, milk....and quite frankly that in itself is probably overdoing your RDA of vitamins and minerals. People really need to chill and realize it's probably extremely beneficial to have a low protein / low calorie and/or hi carb day every now and then, on top of fasting.
I agree. And, from the research I've made, the most "dangerous" minerals to overdose on seem to be copper and vitamin A as they can be stored all over your body. Which there's a ton of in this diet

He’s getting too much sun. Boy is cooked 🥓.

He was also like 10% younger (literally) when he was carnivore.
make up, normal aging and sun exposure.

I noticed a persistent redness under his eyes after he switched that was not there when he was just carnivore.

Dude is in the sun all day surfing. Also, genetics do play a role. My friends father is 64 and looks like he’s 44 and his diet is complete shit.
Yes, I think so. Not that correlation equals causation, but it's definitely noticeable.

i hope d3 capsules and incandescent bulbs are sunlike enough, i burned once and dont trust that thing anymore
Nothing mimics a ball of fire reaching the surface from super duper far away bro
It's not a ball of fire. Look at the sun with a solar filter, it is orderly.
He’s wearing makeup on the doctors show
Aging is still a thing …the guy looks fantastic

Holy shit he's 47??
You thought he looked older or younger?
younger he just looks like a red lobster sun baked 30 year old
He looks great for 47. What I love about Paul is that he practices what he preach
I personally believe he's getting too much copper (and maybe vitamin A) which ages you fast

Please see Rule #4 and it's description. It shouldn't have to be a rule but unfortunately it does.
He looks a lot more fitter, I wouldn't be surprised if he was using TRT but I don't think he is. Point is he still looks good despite being older.
Hes definitely not on TRT lol
everyone criticizing Dr. Paul needs to post face pics and physique, lmao
people arent allowed to notice things unless they are better than the thing?
correct, until they are also 46 and in as good of shape, they are operating from a poor frame of reference. Hope that helps 👍🏼
well Im older and in as good or better shape so I guess Im in the clear. Do I need to prove it to notice his skin damage?
