    I’d be worried about purines. A diet of pure steak would likely lead to an insane case of gout, which is a buildup of uric acid crystals in your joints… which ranks pretty high on the list of excruciatingly painful things you can be diagnosed with.

      It’s a good concern, but people doing zero carb and low carb do not see a increase in gout, quite the opposite. It seems that uric acid is a intermediate indicator and not causal of gout (which is principally drive by fructose)
