This thread will mostly be covering the best performing diet for looksmaxxing
you are free to give criticism, and some of the things in this thread may or may not be factually true and they are from my personal experience of research
Sources of said points in this thread will be below the claims said so.
Carnivore Diet
Carnivore is the best diet for having a freaky low body-fat dominant look
but, it has supposedly has serious and devastating side effects.
some studies show it kills the shit out of free test, and thyroid.
this means no more heightmaxxing for you !
+ the other benefits of T3z
however, I did deeper research on this and here is what I have discovered.
MAIN CONCERNS
1. T3 Levels: T3 is mainly there to help metabolize carbs. When you cut carbs, your body needs less T3. It's not dysfunction, it’s only natural.
^
2. TSH Stays Stable: This is the key hormone that shows if your thyroid's working right. On carnivore, it usually doesn't change much at all.

3. Thyroid Sensitivity: Some research suggests your body might get more sensitive to thyroid hormones on carnivore, so you need less to get the same effect.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE
Real Numbers:
- In one study with 14 dudes, 13 of them had lower T3 on keto compared to a low-fat diet (3.5 vs 4.2 pmol/L).
- Another study with 6 guys showed T3 dropped hard on a 2% carb diet compared to 85% and 44% carb diets.

The Harvard Carnivore Diet Study: Findings and Takeaway
Why T3 Exists:
- T3's main job is to help break down carbs for energy.
- When you're not eating carbs, your body doesn't need as much T3, again.
BENEFITS++
Carnivore Diet Benefits (from a study of 2029 people):
- 95% reported better overall health
- 66-91% said their well-being improved
- 48-98% saw improvements in various health conditions
- Average BMI dropped from 27.2 to 24.3
Risks and Side Effects:
- Only 1% to 5.5% reported any adverse effects
- Main issues were gut-related (3.1-5.5%), muscle problems (0.3-4.0%), and skin issues (0.1-1.9%)
Cholesterol:
- LDL was high as fuck (172 mg/dL) (scary high cholesterol!!!! (Even better for T)
- But HDL and triglycerides were good (68 mg/dL for both)
SHORT SUMMARY
carnivore diet might mess with your thyroid numbers, but it doesn't seem to fuck up how your thyroid actually works. most people report feeling better, not worse. but we need more long-term studies to be sure.
so to be safe, monitor your health when doing carnivore
but so far unless someone wants to prove me wrong

Effect of low-carbohydrate diets high in either fat or protein on thyroid function, plasma insulin, glucose, and triglycerides in healthy young adults - PubMed
A low-carbohydrate diet, frequently used for treatment of reactive hypoglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and obesity may affect thyroid function. We studied the effects of replacing the deleted carbohydrate with either fat or protein in seven healthy young adults. Subjects were randomly assigned...
