Yes, as a Sámi, I'd be interested to know more, desperately ;-)

Probably some kind of keto/carnivore diet if I had to guess.

Yes, but mostly all seafood and I eat berries as well. So it is not really either. I do not aim for ketosis of anything like that, mostly becasue my genetics protects me from it.

Hello!!! :) Are you full Sami or part? I am 1/4 Italian and 1/4 Hungarian as well. But it seems these dietary genes come from the maternal side.

Hi! Yes, I am. All my grandparents were Sámi, herding reindeer in northern Finland and Norway.
