Carnivore Diet

[MolliesMaster]

Introducing the newest, but not really new, more like re-imaged diet popping off right now.

Seems it has been a silent back runner for quite a few years, but it wasn't until Dr. Shawn Baker's episode on JRE did I see it popping everywhere. (link to podcast)

A quick trip to Reddit's r/zerocarb forum will show you that this new age way of eating isn't exactly that new. Check out Stefansson's The Fat of the Land where he took what he gleaned from the Inuit people back in the early 20th century to heart. http://highsteaks.com/the-fat-of-the...stefansson.pdf (link to book in pdf, just read the first 10-20 pages to get an idea) Another click on that reddit page and you will land on saved copy of "Bears words of wisdom", a normal guy who revealed his diet of all meat for 47 years without any ill effects. http://highsteaks.com/carnivores-cre...rds-of-wisdom/

Still, it's pretty spooky stuff to think that people could be, not only surviving, but thriving on a diet solely of meat and animal fat. What about the scurvy? What about the minerals and fiber that we have been told for years is unquestionably necessary for healthy life? But the meat eaters aren't dying. In fact, they are actually doing quite well. Healing their autoimmune diseases, dropping their pharmaceutical drugs, losing weight and even increasing their libido and fertility. Meatheals.com is a page devoted just for the purpose of people sharing their success story with this crazy way of eating. http://meatheals.com/


It looks like we have another good excuse to take more game this fall. That freezer isn't going to fill itself.
