MAD PROPS FOR THE CARNIVORE DIET FROM FAMOUS PEOPLE

The nose-to-tail carnivore strategy enables you to enjoy maximum nutrient density in your diet, with minimal exposure to plant antigens that can cause serious problems for sensitive people. In my psychiatry and functional medicine practice, I have seen many examples of remarkable spontaneous healing from chronic autoimmune and inflammatory conditions prompted by a carnivore eating strategy.

DR. PAUL SALADINO,
psychiatrist and functional medicine physician, author of The Carnivore Code

The idea of a carnivore diet is gaining more credibility every day, especially for sufferers of chronic autoimmune or inflammatory conditions. In my promotion of the Primal Blueprint lifestyle, I have prided myself on maintaining an open mind and being willing to revise my position when new information comes to light. The carnivore premise is extremely compelling and worth investigating further for all ancestral health enthusiasts.

MARK SISSON,
Primal Kitchen kingpin

I have been following a carnivore-style diet for nearly two decades in my quest for peak performance in bodybuilding and power lifting. If you want to get lean quickly, and boost your recovery with superior nutrition, carnivore is a proven effective strategy. Naysayers can say what they want, but a six-pack doesnt lie. Try carnivore if you are interested in a body composition breakthrough and a more nutritious diet.

CHRIS BELL,
bodybuilding legend and inventor of the amazing Sling Shot training aid

Our ancestors most certainly were omnivores, but they likely ate plants mostly as a strategy against unsuccessful hunting. If our ancestors were able to bring down a prehistoric wooly mammoth, that estimated three million calories would have fed the band lavishly for months!

orthopedic surgeon, carnivore expert, co-host of Performance Outliers podcast, world-record indoor rower at age 51

YOU TOO CAN BECOME A CELEBRATED OBJECT OF DESIRE BY EATING CARNIVORE!

Hey dude, hows it going? Welcome to the exciting world of the carnivore diet. The premise of the carnivore diet is simple: You consume predominantly (or entirely) animal foods with a nose-to-tail strategy. You strive for maximum variety (especially with nutrient powerhouses like organ meats) and the highest-quality choices in each food category (grass-fed beef, pasture-raised eggs, wild-caught fish, etc.) to maximize nutritional benefits.

The novel concept of eating exclusively animal foods has taken the ancestral health world by storm because enthusiasts are achieving an assortment of truly amazing results. Chief among them is a reliable and rapid reduction of excess body fat when going carnivore for even just 30 days. Those suffering from chronic autoimmune or inflammatory conditions discover immediate improvement in symptoms that largely resist mainstream medical intervention. Others report improved athletic performance and recovery, particularly a reduction in post-exercise stiffness and inflammation after switching to carnivore.

Dont be influenced by naysayers trashing carnivore as a Burger King binge. The evolved carnivore approach is far from the Standard American Diet pattern of eating objectionable CAFO products (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, featuring hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, and environmentally objectionable practices) and focusing almost entirely on muscle meatswhich have an inferior nutritional profile to organ meats. Instead, youll indulge in exotic, colorful, and incredibly nutritious foods: the intense orange hues of pastured eggs and salmon roe, teeming with important vitamins and minerals; the rich burgundy of liver (perhaps the most nutrient-dense food on the planet) and other organ meats; steaming mugs of bone broth (a great source of hard-to-find agents like collagen and glycosaminoglycans that boost connective tissue health); the omega-3 powerhouses in the oily, cold-water fish SMASH hits family (Sardines, Mackerel, Anchovies, Salmon, Herring), and much more. Its an adventure deep into the foods that nourished human evolution for 2.5 million years.
