He isn't even taking a vitamineral supplement.

Animals have all the vitamins and minerals you'll ever need, provided you also eat the organs. Beef liver is one of the most nutrient dense foods in the world.

His blood sugar would be so low, he would pass out constantly.

Also, there was a doctor decades ago that starved a bunch of mental patients then gave them insulin to see what would happen. He found that even with doses high enough to put a normal man into a coma had little to no effect on them. In absence of carbohydrate intake the body adjusts and starts relying on ketones and fat.

Anorexics die because their electrolytes are out of balance and their hearts stop.

Completely different thing.

The biggest problem with a meat only diet is lack of fibre. Fibre is needed for good gut health. In absence of fibre fermented foods will also suffice, hence why Inuits used to put some of their meat in seal bladders and buried them for weeks. When the western man came and told them they shouldn't do that they started getting sick.

No idea what Peterstien is actually eating but a meat only diet is feasible and allows a person not only to survive but actually thrive.
