Feel great this am. I typically eat like this every day. It's not rocket science to give yourself every benefit to be healthy.

Cut out the greens and you will feel even better but congrats on getting all the useless carbs out of your diet.
Glucose literally feeds cancer cells but people refuse to give up the carbs. That's the power of addiction

That’s what the standard American diet entails but how is that working out for us?

An elimination diet may be a good thing. Maybe 40-60% of our daily intake being carbs is what’s driving the obesity epidemic.

Not for nothing but our parent and grandparent generation ate tons of red meat , eggs, whole milk, and even organ meats like chopped liver and even with smoking, they’re healthier than we are.

That is NOT what the standard American diet is. A standard American diet is mostly overprocessed foods, not enough veggies and fruits and not enough movement.

Our grandparents certainly did not eat a ton of red meat. It was expensive and mostly unaffordable. They ate meat at a much lower rate than we do. They did eat organ meat more than we do because it was so much cheaper. They also ate less of everything in general.

A well balanced diet rich in all kinds of foods is much better for your health long term.

People write this nonsense and act like the dork in Good Will Hunting that discovered the library.

The “standard American diet” volume of carbohydrates involves massive amounts of refined sugars and garage. That’s the problem. Nobody has a problem with their weight if they are eating Whole Foods and carbohydrates in fruits, vegetables, and grans.

Unless they just have an overall consumption addiction, which results in problems unless they follow some elaborate scheme to blunt the effects of their overconsumption. Then having identified the scheme, they declare its something other than them that’s the problem.

Interesting. OP here. I guess I have an “overall consumption addiction,” because it’s true that I can’t eat grains in moderation. I could always have another piece of bread or serving of pasta. I think a lot of people are like me.

Are all carnivores strictly carnivore and no plant based foods at all (fruit and veg)? I can’t even prepare or eat meat or poultry or fish dishes without vegs (garlic, lemon, bell peppers, salad).


I can believe the elimination of all grains is good for the body . All the vitamins and minerals one gets from grains are found in meat or nuts/seeds and dairy anyway.

I’m having a hard time understanding the utility behind keeping dairy but not plants

A lot of carnivores do not consume dairy products as they are inherently more inflammatory. The Lion Diet is more strict and is typically meat and water only, no coffee, dairy etc.

Some do this for a while and add back dairy and some fruits and veggies as tolerated. Meat is the most nutrient dense food on the planet so most carnivores or ketovores end up not needing to eat much after a while on the diet. Most true carnivores are quite slim and really are low on viceral fat.

First thing, I have been able to fully reverse type 2 diabetes without drugs and lost 60 pounds in the last two years. My skin, hormones, and muscle tone have greatly improved as well despite being almost 50. I get regular periods and no more menopausal symptoms. Fatty meat is the basis of hormonal health.

My husband has reversed his Hashimoto’s and is also no longer on any prescription drugs. He has mostly been thin and active since we have been together (30 years) but was getting skinny fat on a plant based diet. He is now muscle-y and looks amazing. Younger, more confident and a wow in bed!

Over the past two years we have given up alcohol as it’s no longer something we crave. We supplement with vitamin d (in the winter as we get plenty of sun otherwise), magnesium, and iodine (for hormonal and adrenal support).

Our two teens still at home love this way of eating and have been making huge strides in athletics while maintaining all A’s in school. They also work part time jobs and have great skin and hair. They know they will feel crappy when they eat standard American crap food with their friends. They have to experience that and learn on their own. Our two kids in college were skeptical but both have come around after seeing our results and are trying to stay cleaner with their diets and be more animal based.

I understand (especially as a former vegan) that this seems strange. Don’t knock it til you try it. We did this initially as a two week experiment and it’s been amazing.

We get most of our meat from a local rancher and get our eggs and raw milk and cream from a local farm. We are lucky that despite living in a major metropolitan area, we have been able to source this. We also shop at Costco for some extra meats, cheeses, sparkling water, and snacks(Chomps).

This is affordable, we are regular and our trashcan is practically empty every week as we generate hardly any trash now.
