United States: For the last three months, a North Carolina woman has consumed nothing but sardines and said it has made her healthier, and her life better.
“This is not a diet. For me, specifying a diet means a starting and a stopping point. ‘I mean, this is my lifestyle and I have no plans to reintroduce plants back into it,’ said Jane Crummett of Mint Hill, near Charlotte, N.C. to Fox News Digital.
As a zero carb/carnivore way of eating, Crummett usually eats no carbohydrates at all. She also doesn’t do dairy and she won’t eat it because “it’s inflammatory.”
For the last three months she ate no food other than sardines and a supplement called MCT oil, which helps the body get energy.
As reported by the Fox News, Crummett said she ate four cans of sardines a day, plus MCT oil. But Crummett concluded her experiment on Sept. 30 after 135 days.
But switching to only sardines has allowed her to lose 35 pounds in three months, she said. She’s also felt she has had a host of other health benefits too, plus.
She said previously she’d had plantar fasciitis, a foot condition, and that her pain had subsided. And her inflammation has also gone down as well, she tells Fox News Digital.
Crummy admits her extreme dietary program, but she’s in good health, and she sees a doctor regularly.
“I have tried all kinds of things,” she said. “I strongly believe that you won’t know unless you figure things out yourself.”
Previously, Crummett said she planned to bring in meats to her diet gradually and with the help of a doctor’s guidance.
So I plan on eating sardines with two tablespoons of MCT oil for breakfast… then eating about three ounces of beef with a few tablespoons of beef drippings for lunch, then back to sardines for dinner.
“I will have to take things day by the day and just see how my blood sugar reacts to the new food and she said and noting that she’s noticed her blood glucose levels have increased if she eats too much protein at once.
“My ultimate goal is to have sardines for the breakfast every day with MCT oil and incorporate normal beef and the pork or the chicken back into my diet, she said.
A dietitian, however, raised concerns about the “carnivore” lifestyle.
