Vegetables suck.<\/p>\n<p>You haven\u2019t liked them since the first time your mom served you bland, microwaved broccoli.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re tired of having to starve yourself and eat like a rabbit when you want to be healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I\u2019m here to tell you that you don\u2019t have to be a slave to plant foods to have the body, mind and energy you want.<\/p>\n<p>The carnivore diet is the exact opposite of what we\u2019re fed by today\u2019s diet culture. Yet it has:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cleared people\u2019s skin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Supercharged energy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Helped people drop weight faster than a vegan drops $16 on avocado toast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All while eating the juiciest, most flavorful, mouthwatering foods in the world.<\/p>\n<p>It may not do these things for you, but it\u2019s still too interesting to ignore.<\/p>\n<p>Read more to learn everything you need to know about the carnivore diet: the benefits, meal plan, results and how it works.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the Carnivore Diet?<\/h3>\n<h4>Everything You Need to Know<\/h4>\n<p>The carnivore diet is a high-fat, high-protein diet consisting mainly of animal products. Yes, that\u2019s right. No more grains. No more sugar. No more vegetables. And no more bitching.<\/p>\n<p>Wait, vegetables? The healthiest foods in the world? The foods God put on our beautiful earth so Karen from yoga could have her green smoothies?<\/p>\n<p>Yup. As I\u2019ll describe below, it turns out plants are loaded with endogenous pesticides (like lectins, oxalates and goitrogens) that could be causing your health issues.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s surprising, but you should be happy. After all, don\u2019t we only eat salads for the dressing and the bacon bits? Let\u2019s be honest.<\/p>\n<p>The carnivore diet is a more restrictive variation of the ketogenic diet. It\u2019s very low in carbs and will put you into ketosis, which has tremendous health benefits. It\u2019s also sometimes referred to as the all-meat diet or the zero carb diet.<\/p>\n<p>Some people say that if your ketones are high enough, you can talk to electricity. I haven\u2019t confirmed this yet, but please let me know if you can.<\/p>\n<p>The carnivore diet took the world by storm when Shawn Baker appeared on Joe Rogan\u2019s podcast The Joe Rogan Experience. Dr. Baker is an athlete in his fifties, and to put it bluntly, he\u2019s absolutely ripped.<\/p>\n<p>I tried counting his abs but lost track at 3,412. He recently set two indoor rowing world records, and he attributes his success to the carnivore diet.<\/p>\n<p>Other prominent advocates include clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson and his daughter Mikhaila \u2013 both have reversed lifelong autoimmune and mental health issues by adopting the carnivore diet.<\/p>\n<p>I get it \u2013 this may be shocking at first. The carnivore diet preaches the exact opposite of all mainstream nutrition recommendations. We\u2019re told to limit our meat intake and subsist mainly on whole grains and vegetables\u2014including the controversial Game Changers documentary on Netflix. But are we any healthier for it?<\/p>\n<p>If you look at the state of health around the world, it shouldn\u2019t be all that surprising that people are looking for a change. What everybody is doing is undoubtedly NOT working. And as I\u2019ll argue, the exact opposite will. Eating meat. Cutting out plant foods. And walking backwards.<\/p>\n<p>The carnivore diet is centered around some of the healthiest, tastiest, most nutritious foods in the world: steaks, animal fats, lamb, butter, beef tallow and liver.<\/p>\n<p>Think of this diet like Noah\u2019s ark: if it\u2019s an animal, hop on board. Noah left plants behind \u2013 why shouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p><i>Read the complete <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/carnivoreaurelius.com\/carnivore-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Carnivore Diet Guide<\/i><\/a><i> at <\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carnivoreaurelius.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>www.carnivoreaurelius.com<\/i><\/a><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>Carnivore Aurelius is a nutrition and biochemistry expert who&#8217;s studied for over 5 years.
