Carnivore FAQ

Basics of Carnivore

I’m going to present some basic concepts about carnivore living, and I hope to illustrate some of the more general points to consider when it comes to our foods. There are several misunderstandings about food in general, and unless we begin to question what we’ve always known, we will continue to get very unhealthy results. Because this site and my life are dedicated to promoting animal-based eating, I won’t speak much about plants. However, if you’re not willing to give up things you don’t need, that’s ok by me. The keto and carnivore worlds collide in what’s called “Keto-Vore.”

There’s nothing wrong with this as your body is your own, and what you put in it is up to you. We just want to guide you away from things that you really don’t need to eat: sugar, seed oils, and processed foods.

You’re holding a red pen. You want to write something, but you need a blue pen. No matter how badly you wish the red pen to be blue, it isn’t, and it will never be. You can kick, scream, argue, make social media posts of mean or funny memes, start organizations and alphabet letter movements, be a violent protestor, or throw the pen across the room. No matter what, it will never turn blue for you. Until you set it down and pick up a blue pen, you’ll never get the result you want – to write with a blue pen.

The same thing applies to your life, especially when it comes to food choices and how they affect your health. No matter how you rename sugar, it’s sugar. No matter which seed oil you choose, it’s still oil. No matter which processed food you choose to eat, it’s still processed. Until you’re ready to put sugar, seed oils, and processed foods down and take up better options, you’re never going to get what you want. 

If you’re considering the carnivore (or keto) life for weight loss, please know that this isn’t an overnight success program. You will absolutely have to make sacrifices, and you will need to be ready for that. It’s a mindset. It’s a devotion to yourself. It’s a willingness to win at the cost of your former food-served happiness. Go all in, ok? I don’t mean dab your toes in the water and eat a bigger steak unless the steak is all you’re eating. Calories do still count, but you must understand how calories work. 1000 calories of a steak is absolutely not the same 1000 calories of a junk fast food meal of french fries, fried chicken sandwich, and a soda. Your body processes foods differently from one another, and 1000 calories of fruity pebbles is very differenty than 1000 calories of turkey.

Drop the sides…all of them, veggies included if you’re needing to know what bothers your body, and what doesn’t. The time to dabble won’t begin for you until you’ve achieved the ideal body type, weight, size, or whatever end result is your motivation. Only after you’re “there” should you reintroduce foods that you may have missed. Absolutely drop all sweets, including artificial sweeteners. They trick your body, and you won’t achieve success. I’m speaking to stevia, monk fruit, swerve, saccharin, splenda, and everything else like these. When you eat clean carnivore and stick to this for at least a couple of weeks, you should immediately feel improvement.

Detox

You will detox off sugar, just as an addict might from drugs or alcohol. You’ll get diarrhea as your body purges. You’ll get headaches. You’ll feel run down. This is all normal as you’re ridding your body of all the harmful junk you’ve been eating for so long. In fact, the longer you go, the more your body purges, and the less tolerant your body will be of the harmful foods. You may start to notice one day your allergies have improved drastically. You won’t have stuffiness after eating something, and you’ll just realize how clear your sinues feel. Then out of the blue, these come back. That’s a sign your body is rejecting something you’re eating. The rejection comes in the form of histamines firing back up. You get stuffy sinues again. Now it would be time to reevaluate what you may have eaten that caused this!

You’re going to be limiting yourself to less than 10g of sugar (carbs) per day, and eating animal-based foods. The goal of a carnivore is to consume 0g of carbs/sugar, so please be aware of that. Also, if it has an ingredient label or contains multiple additives and seed oils, we avoid it.

The intention of carnivore eating is to replace unhealthy processed foods and plants with nutrient-dense and savory animal proteins and fats. It involves eating those things our ancestors thrived on. This food consumption was a time before we started making our own ingredients, creating means of room temperature preservation, and manipulating the basic molecular structure of food known as “GMO” or Genetically Modified Organisms.

When you eat the carnivore way, your body will transform from being polluted to being very clean. Your energy will be abundant, and the side effect is weight loss. Your body will learn to become fat-adapted, which means once you stop feeding it unnatural energy in the form of carbs/sugar, it will begin to burn your own body fat for energy. You’ll eventually reach a state where what you eat will be rapidly digested and turned into the energy you need, and you won’t be binging on sugary processed junk food.

You’ll read this elsewhere on this site, but know that if your goal is to lose weight, then do not color outside the lines of food while you’re on this path. If your goal is to feel better and stop illness, then the only way to know if you’re doing it right is by eliminating everything from your intake that has processed ingredients. That’s why Dr. Berry promotes Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs. With these 4 foods, you won’t find yourself starving. Eating these 4 items daily may seem monotonous, but it is sustainable. It’s very important to know that again, to determine what has been hurting you, these particular foods will keep you properly nourished while you purge the bad.

How can you know if your (insert ailment here) will go away if you’re still drinking diet soda? If you’re still sneaking a bag of chips with seed oils? If you’re still having an Oreo from time to time? The answer is that you won’t. You won’t until you’ve gone all-in on this.

The D word

It’s diet. That word carries so much negativity and so I don’t like to use it, but it only means the dietary intake of food. Using it in the typical fashion, we think of “dieting” which can be Adkins, South Beach, Mediterranean, whole food, plant-based, vegetarian, vegan, and the absence of food: fasting. There’s point counting, macro monitoring, times of day to eat (or not), amounts to eat, ways to process it (juicing for example), and ways to consume it (number of times you chew the food before swallowing). 

But putting all associated names aside, there is one tenet of every single diet in history, and it is to reduce your carb (sugar) intake. I like to think of this as speaking to alcoholism. For some, even a drop of alcohol is too much, so the safe amount of alcohol they can consume is “none.” If we learn to think of sugar this same way, we realize that we too need “none.” I cringe every time I hear “but everyone needs some sugar.” Or when I hear “…but fruit has good sugar.” Sugar is our necessary body fuel, that much is true. How we get that sugar is where all proper dietary discussions begin.

Sugar

This should really be at the front of the website, but this is probably a good spot also. Sugar is so unbelievably evil to our bodies that you really should understand more about it, beyond just “oh I love sugar.” It does NOT love you.

That Sugar Film

That Sugar Film follows self-imposed test subject Damon Gameau as he experiences the side effects a traditional, high-sugar diet has on an otherwise healthy body.

Prior to the film, he followed a diet of no refined sugar. The upcoming birth of his child transforms his curiosity into a need to understand the effects of hidden sugar. With no consistent counsel from the medical community, he decided to take this upon himself.

To do so, he adopts the basic modern ‘healthy’ diet. This apparently entails 160 grams, or 40 teaspoons, of daily sugar. While adopting his new sugar intake to reflect society, he maintains his usual daily caloric intake. This experience sends his body reeling into the negative effects that sugar has on the body. In gritty detail, he shows his new expanded waistline, general fatigue, memory fog, and fatty liver disease!

It is well worth your time to watch, as it explores how sugar was introduced to our diets, and how it has ruined our world. Just wait until you see a child in Kentucky drinking Mt. Dew from a bottle, and you’ll see what I mean. I cannot stress enough how important this film is. It is also humorous, so it makes for easy viewing. You’ll be entertained!

Food is Fuel

First and foremost, we must learn to reprogram our thoughts to understand that food is fuel. This is difficult because all of our lives, we have associated food with positive life events, including celebrations and achievements. This goes as far back in history as we have been able to discover, where food was a focal point of gatherings. “My wayward son has returned home, so butcher our best animal! Raise your glass of wine and join me in a toast! Gather our friends to celebrate!”

And of course, food becomes a trusty companion when we go through a relationship breakup, a job loss, or other life catastrophes. We are quick to cozy up to a gallon of ice cream or order a pizza to enjoy the warm comfort it provides when our significant other causes us anxiety. This is known as stress or depression eating. We seek the flavors of certain things, not necessarily realizing the flavor is sugar. An endorphin release takes place in our brain when we bite into a piece of cake or spoonful of rocky road ice cream, triggering a happy moment. The more we desire the happy feeling, the more we eat sugar, and the cycle continues.

I believe the best approach to eating is to understand that when you embrace what you eat, you understand how it is fuel. Fuel can be good or bad. Good fuel is clean. Bad fuel is contaminated. This doesn’t mean eating has to be as boring as a refill of your car’s tank at a gas station. It means you have to learn to associate food with the energy your body needs. When you learn to see food this way, your meals at home and when you eat out will take on a new life of their own. When dining out, you can focus not on what you’re eating, but on who you’re eating with. You can enjoy company without getting overwhelmed with the bad body feelings which come with eating junk.

My next-door camping neighbor was starting a fire, and using great firewood with lighter fluid. I asked him to hold off so I could shoot a video because this illustrated my point perfectly about sugar. If you introduce carbs/sugars into your body via food (processed junk food, desserts, fruits, etc) it’s like starting a fire with lighter fluid or gasoline. It burns temporarily but will go out quickly and you have to do it all again. Every 2 hours you’re likely feeding yourself something, whether a 100-calorie snack or some other filler to get you the energy to make it another 2hrs. As the sugar burns off, so does your energy, so you need a recharge. But eat properly, to begin with, and you could easily go 24hrs between meals. Crazy? Read on.

It’s a Lifestyle, not a Diet

Carnivore is not a diet. It’s my opinion that the word diet is abused, and misused. It is most often a negative word. “Honey, we need to go on a diet!” Or “I can’t eat that, I’m starting a diet.” Diet to the average person will mean sacrificing something or a lot of things. It means we “have to” do something different when it comes to eating. Let’s flip that script, and see this as not sacrificing, but adopting some new attitudes and ways to eat. Diet means the food you take in, not how and not when. Your diet consists of ________.  You live on a diet of ________. We aren’t counting points, counting macros, or dissecting our calories. What and when you eat is a way of life; a lifestyle. Being a vegan is adopting a lifestyle that encompasses many elements. There is both a psychological side and a physical side. Some people take the psychological side to the extreme and become activists to push their feelings and agendas. The latter has much less to do with your own health, and much more to do with the health of a living animal. A non-activist vegan will silently go about their lives, be happy to take care of their personal needs, and will be happy to answer your questions should you ask. People will form their relationships based on being vegan. Pretty darn sure you won’t see a crowd of them gathering with meat-eating friends for a night out at a restaurant. Many if not most vegans simply don’t associate with others who eat meat because of the life of an animal argument. Thus, a carnivore is vilified.

The same can be said about lifestyles for being a vegetarian, a carnivore, keto, Adkins, weight watchers, etc. We will tend to surround ourselves with like-minded thinkers. However, the decisions of where to eat and who with will be influenced less by your dietary intake, and more by your self-control. It’s not a great idea to eat at a pizzeria if you know you have to avoid carbs, so you’ll likely steer a gathering toward a restaurant that satisfies everyone in your party. But you’re not so limited that you can’t join others. You can eat very well, and believe it or not, you can do so without drawing attention to yourself. I’ve spoken about this in a blog post, so I won’t go into detail here.

Support Network

Until you are fully confident in your dietary intake, you will often seek support through a network of friends, on social media, and of course immediate family. If you feel the need to discuss how you’re eating, you’re actually seeking recognition that you’re doing the right thing. How does the joke go? You’ll know someone is a cross fitter or a vegan without even asking (they’ll tell you). In some regards, you’ll feel compelled to explain yourself to others in your presence. But truthfully, that’s unnecessary. Just go about ordering your food with full confidence and knowledge that you know what you’re doing. Once your training wheels come off, and you’re living your best healthy life, you seldom seek the support of others. Instead, you are happy to oblige the comments and questions of others: “You’ve lost so much weight! Have you been in prison?!” “I don’t know how you can order a cheeseburger without a bun, but keep it up, you’re doing great!” “What are you doing to look so great and have so much energy?!”

I have found that all other lifestyles aren’t necessarily focused on the elimination of seed oils and sugar, which are so harmful and fatal. I hope you learn more about what you’re possibly eating, and how you should definitely avoid it.

I believe most “diets” and ways of life are more focused on your wallet than your health. Buy a monthly subscription, pay a membership fee, buy only certain products, and put a dollar bill in front of your life, have health insurance, see a doctor monthly, and you’ll “get the help you need.” With a carnivore lifestyle, almost all of that disappears. You’ll still have to pay for a specific time with a doctor, just as you would in any other instance. It’s a dang good idea to have your blood monitored regularly. However, the basic food intake comes at only the cost of food, with knowledge about what to buy found in many freely given resources. You’re going to learn that your body needs only certain types of food as fuel, and the rest of your life will be spent enjoying much more time available, with much more energy, and significantly better health.

Seed Oil ignorance

In my first go-around with Carnivore, I wasn’t very aware of Omega 3’s and Omega 6’s, and as such, I continued through my dietary intake with no regard for what seed oils might be doing to me. When I got back into my carnivore lifestyle a few months ago, I then took greater notice of the evil that hides in these oils. I’d almost say these are worse for you than sugar, but not by much. However, they are responsible for so much inflammation in your body, so much damage to your gut health, and responsible for so many people being on medications. The sad truth is that the media is doing nothing to help because the money flowing into advertising these horrible foods pays substantially well–almost as well as big pharma. I’m going to dedicate an entire page to seed oils, so bear with me. Suffice to say for the purpose of this page, I am highly cognizant of using anything even remotely related to seed oils. I happily stick with tallow, bacon grease, butter, and ghee, because those are what I like. There are more options like duck and goat fat, but I’m happy right here.

Dangerous Cooking Oils

The most dangerous are vegetable oils (a PR move to make you think it was healthy–not made from vegetables). Canola, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower, soy, Crisco, rapeseed, and many more that are chemically created. You CANNOT squeeze a soybean and get oil. However, you can press an olive or a coconut and get oil. Did you know Crisco (Crystalized Cottonseed Oil) was originally designed in 1911 as a submarine oil? That’s correct, a torpedo lubricant.

Dr. Berry does a great job of explaining these oils and how they came about below. I urge you to watch this, and for the sake of furthering your knowledge, feel free to web or Youtube search the topic of cooking oil dangers from anyone who isn’t trying to sell seed oil.

So what can you use? Olive and coconut oils are much safer, at low temp uses. You want saturated fat that comes from animal fats. Suet, tallow, butter, ghee, goat fat, avocado oil, low temp olive oil, etc is where it’s at.

Red Meat Myth

You’ve probably heard that red meat causes cancer as it rots in your colon. Dr. Berry does a fantastic job of explaining this in a video linked below this text. It’s a 10-minute discussion that is highly worth your time.

The short of this video is that Dr. Berry in his entire career never saw meat of any kind in someone’s ostomy bag. An ostomy bag is a surgically inserted bag that captures most of the large foods that are undigested as it passes through your digestive system, prior to going all the way through your colon. To be sure, he contacted an ostomy nurse where dealing with these bags is her career. She verified in her own experiences of thousands of bag changes, she never saw meat in a bag no matter what part of the colon it was inserted into. This is significant because if we ever wanted a “picture” of what goes through our bodies, this is the way to do it. Without being too crude, understand that there are certain foods you can eat that will exit you in the exact same form as they entered you, and you have seen this. If you’ve ever eaten corn or peanuts, there is your perfect example. This nurse saw oatmeal, broccoli, nuts, corn, cauliflower, and beans. This is eyewitness objective testimony. Short of putting a glass window in someone’s intestines, this is the closest you’ll ever get to know what gets broken down, and what doesn’t.

Meals are Simpler

I can’t stress enough how much easier it can be will be when living a Carnivore life.  Your trips to the grocery store will be so much more focused and efficient. You won’t be fretting over how to prepare a particular food, as there are not many variances among meaty meals. Ground beef, burger patties, and meatloaf round out the ground beef segment. Steaks are exactly that…steaks. Grilled, griddled, or oven baked are the most typical cooking styles. Chuck roasts are still prepared in ovens and slow cookers, and in my opinion make for the easiest prep. Seafood is griddled, grilled, or oven baked. I have found bacon tastes best when baked in the oven.

There’s a mild meditative therapy I have discovered when I am preparing meats. When I find great deals on rib roasts, I prefer to cut my own steaks. Making smash burgers is a lot of fun. Filling the RV with the aroma of a chuck roast in a slow cooker ignites my soul. I have discovered how much fun it is to combine various types of meat to make my burgers. I buy brisket, chuck, and liver, then grind all of the pieces into my own ground beef blend. A chuck and brisket burger is amazing, but when you add some hot breakfast sausage to the blend, it takes on a stunning flavor.

Meal prepping is very simple when you can pre-cook your foods and reheat them later. I’m not a microwave fan, so I won’t recommend that style of reheating. However, many don’t have a choice. If it’s your only option, then so be it. You can precook steaks to 135-degree internal temps, and when you reheat in a microwave at work, you will find you’re not overcooking the meat.

Going back to the theme that food is fuel, you don’t need a fancy lunch. Sliced steak, chuck, or cooked ground beef are easy to prepare and store. A bowl of ground beef and a 1/4 stick (or more) of butter makes for a tasty lunch. Baked chicken and butter are awesome as well. Many people like to roll up deli meats with cheese, and that’s great too! Eat a simple lunch, and use your spare time to relax in whatever way you see fit.

Costs are Lower

When your meals are reduced to almost single ingredients, your overall food costs are going to drop. I wrote a blog post about this where I broke down the cost of preparing a meal, and you can read it here. It goes into the nuances of food costs by the ounce.

Something very important to consider is there is very little waste with meat buying. Because of the perception of both expense and quality, we tend to be very protective of meat. We may think less of throwing away an unused bag of celery, but will cringe when we throw away a pound of what used to be perfectly good ground beef. Interestingly, if we looked at our receipts, a bag of organic celery is probably very close to the cost of a pound of grass fed beef. If it’s traditional industrial beef, the celery is likely much more. Don’t believe me? Go to your grocery store and check for yourself.

Ounce for ounce, animal fats and proteins will give you more nutrition than plant foods. To get equivalent nutrition from plants, you have to consume significantly more plants than animal proteins. When I say significantly more, I mean things like this about broccoli. Can you eat 2.8lbs of broccoli in one sitting? How about over an entire day? Broccoli for breakfast anyone?

There’s a discussion about what is bioavailable. This term means: the degree and rate at which a substance (such as a drug) is absorbed into a living system or is made available at the site of physiological activity. Looking at the table below, it’s easy to see that beef and eggs have twice as much protein bioavailability to humans than anything plant sourced, and in many cases, 3 times as much.

What if I like Veggies?

A regular response I hear is that people like veggies. This isn’t about me, so I turn to you. Ask yourself why you like them. Is it the butter and bacon bits over a bed of green beans? Is it the dressing on a salad? Is it the dip you drag your carrots through? Take away everything from a veggie, including beloved and healthy butter, and ask yourself again if these veggies are what you’re after. Some people are totally fine with this. Others, not so much. The dry veggies are rabbit food. They are what my animals eat. I’m not going to be so dogmatic that you can’t ever have them. But to ingest vegetables, you should probably have a greater understanding of what they could be doing to you.

Self-preservation

I truly hope you’ll watch the video just above this paragraph, and learn about plants from Dr. Berg. Every living organism on Earth has a built-in desire to live. That is self-preservation. We duck a hit, dodge a car headed towards us, throw our hands up to block something, stand and fight, or run like hell. That’s self defense. Plants are the same, but they can’t wear shoes. They don’t sport teeth (well, not like we’re used to), and they can’t throw a punch. But what they can do is poison you. Someone figured out a long time ago that certain things can (seemingly) be ingested without issue, and some cannot. You have to climb a tree to get a good coconut, and then you have to work like mad to open it. It doesn’t want to be opened! Bears, lions, tigers…they have the ability to kill us, so they aren’t exactly easy targets for us. Most plants have things like oxalates (see the video above), and outright poisons to humans and animals, that prevent ingestion or the desire.

Fruits are tasty, and they want to be eaten because reproduction is easier with seeds. The seed will pass through us, and on to greener pastures, where it will eventually germinate, grow, and produce new fruit. However, the seeds are toxic in and of themselves. Lectins and oxalates defend the seeds against us. Eat enough of them, and it impairs our health. Again, go to the video above, please.

Cows aren’t very good at running, they certainly can’t fight, so they’re easy to raise and slaughter for our nourishment. Same goes for almost every animal on earth that humans eat.

Most importantly, you should understand what your body is designed to digest, and what it isn’t. Ruminant (4 stomach) animals such as cows have the ability to break down fibrous plants with their stomach enzymes. Humans do not. Read that again please. A cow can eat, digest, and fully take advantage of everything a blade of grass or kernel of corn has to offer, but a human can not. You chew your food, and it gets ground up, but it’s not fully dissolved in your system as meat and fat are. The fiber (cellulose, plant cell walls) remains in your digestive system until it passes through your body. As it sits in your stomach, it ferments and rots in a bath of acids. When anything ferments, it lets off gases. This gas is a burp or flatulence (farts) in humans. If you know a vegan, ask if they have gas issues. If they say they don’t, they’re a liar, period. If you want to prove this to yourself, eat only beef, butter, bacon, and eggs for 7 days straight. Drink only water. Report back your findings. What do you have to lose? To show me up that you can still burp and fart? You won’t be able to show me up unless you have some other gastro issue that you produce gas regardless of what you eat. That’s rare.

In case this still doesn’t seem to register, I want you to consider this: corn in is corn out. If you swallow several kernels of corn without chewing them, you’ll see them again in the toilet. That’s because your body cannot break corn down. Your body cannot break fiber down. In fact, you’re instructed to eat fiber “as part of a healthy diet.” Have you just accepted someone’s advice without questioning it? I should give you 30 seconds to answer the question “Why do I have to eat fiber?” Fiber is paper. It’s wood. It’s the cell wall structure of plants. Think of it like ingesting a wad of paper towels that runs through your intestines, trying to push out leftover food that your body couldn’t break down. One thing it won’t do is take meat with it because your body breaks that meat completely down before it passes through your intestines.

Impossible/Fake Meat

Don’t even get me started on fake meats. If there’s even the slightest inkling that you’re doing your body a favor by eating fake meat, you should spend an hour researching the chemicals that go into this fake crap. People are constantly striving to emulate the texture, look, and taste of meat, and that is the definition of impossible. It is simply impossible to create the savory taste of bacon. And don’t even try to replicate the quality of nutrients found in a 6oz side of roast beef, 4 eggs, or a piece of wild caught fresh tuna. Please take a moment to visit this article written by Dr. Amy Myers. She does a beautiful job of explaining a  common fake meat, ground fake beef:

Why Fake Meat Is A Problem

The Plant Based Lies

There’s an awful lot of misinformation that goes into the propaganda surrounding plant-based products. Among the things you’ll hear is how plant based makes for a better carbon footprint, referring to gas emissions among cows. Without any in depth study, consider that 4oz of beef offers as much nutrient protein as 45oz of broccoli. That said, have you considered what goes on behind the scenes to produce 45oz of a plant?! Again, we are talking about 2.8 pounds of broccoli. There’s acres upon acres of land that has to be tilled and prepped. There’s farm equipment burning fuel to sow and reap, electrical and gasoline-powered equipment pumping water to irrigate, the fertilizer being produced (and spread by fuel-powered machines), production facilities to handle the preparation, cleaning, and packaging of the product, freezers being used for some forms of the final product, and of course the packaging itself which is always plastic, either in a bag or on a tray under a wrapper film. Exactly what might be the carbon footprint of that head of broccoli?

Kelloggs Cereal

Are you aware of how Corn Flakes came about? This will surprise you. In 1893, Dr. John Kellogg was asked by his brother William to create a food for his Michigan sanitarium patients that would limit reproductive desires, aka kill their sex drive. Dr. Kellogg was a vegetarian and he specifically set out to make a food that limited masturbation. Yes, that’s correct. Now if we are to conclude that plant-based foods could limit sex drive, extrapolate this information to present-day, where plant based foods are being touted as healthier choices. What do you suppose this is doing to our reproductive capacities and desires? Are we turning into a society of people who have no desire or ability to add to the population? This is a web searchable topic, but I will link the Forbes magazine article here.

Waste

I touched on this before. Is anybody willing to discuss the amount of waste involved in the harvest, production, and consumption of plants? Raise your hand if the head of lettuce in the back of your refrigerator turned brown, soupy, and began to ferment because you forgot it was there. Raise your hand if you ate half a bag of prepared salad, and threw away the rest because you didn’t end up finishing it like you said you would. Raise your hand if you have multiple salad dressings on your fridge shelves, some that have only been used once. Are you willing to consider how many times you prepared veggies, and they either didn’t get consumed at the table, or the leftovers eventually got tossed? How about the bugs that collected around your decaying fruit, or the bananas that turned brown and soft on your counter that likely went into the garbage?

Again, we likely aren’t wasteful of animal products. But we don’t typically fret about tossing $3 worth of unused lettuce away. When you really put some serious thought into your food stores, can you relate to anything I spoke about just now? Do you feel there is room for improvement in your own shopping? 

Summary of Carnivore

The Carnivore lifestyle is quite rewarding, and when you put your energy into eating properly, your long-term results will amaze you. It could be as simple as weight loss, or as significant as curing diseases within your body. All along your life, people with a profit intention are going to tell you their food is healthier, safer, and better for the world. When is the last time you saw a farmer take out a personal ad for their ruminant animals? As I’ve said elsewhere, you can buy basic foods such as meats and some veggies, and never have to count a point, pay a monthly subscription to learn, or spend hours at support groups in a month. You don’t have to put an app on your phone. You just buy and consume good meat, avoid ingredient-laden foods, kick sugar to the curb, and have your doctor monitor your blood to adjust your intake as necessary. 

Enjoy the journey, and love yourself enough to feed your body proper fuel. It will thank you in spades.
