Yeah, you didn't sound triggered to me :) I don't think they are 100% wrong about it though either.
Bitcoiners are like a lot of other minority cultural groups. They have an underdog mentality. They can be overly aggressive like a small dog with something to prove. That's what makes it so funny how more "main stream" bitcoiners get triggered by them.
If it turns out to be a healthy diet, I certainly won't mind admitting that, but it doesn't make nutritional sense to me. We've seen variations of these meat-centric diets end up being pretty unhealthy for decades.
My sense is that it's much like an herbivore diet, where the primary benefits just come from cutting out a bunch of the unhealthy crap and empty calories that makes up the Standard American Diet.

There is a commonality between several diets that basically can be boiled down to no sugar, no processed foods, and very limited to no gluten. I have never heard someone serious argue that processed sugar is good for anyone. At best in small amounts you can tolerate it.

I largely agree with that, although I tend to simplify it to "Eat whole foods." Everything after that is second order, as far as I can tell.

Yeah. I don't have a strong opinion on this but that's pretty much what I think as well.
