Animal-based nutrition for elimination and healing

Is This Diet Right For Me? What to Eat

What is the Carnivore Diet?

The carnivore diet is the ultimate elimination diet — consisting only of meat, fish, eggs, and sometimes dairy. By removing all plant foods, you eliminate potential inflammatory triggers like lectins, oxalates, and fiber that some people react to.

While controversial, thousands of people report remarkable improvements in conditions that didn't respond to other interventions, including autoimmune diseases, depression, chronic pain, and severe digestive disorders.

🎯

Who It's For

The carnivore diet is particularly popular among those who have tried everything else without success. It's often considered when someone has severe food sensitivities, autoimmune conditions, or hasn't responded to less restrictive approaches.

Reported Benefits

🔥

Inflammation Reduction

By eliminating plant anti-nutrients and fiber, many report dramatic reductions in joint pain, skin conditions, and systemic inflammation.

🦠

Gut Healing

Those with IBS, IBD, SIBO, or chronic bloating often experience symptom resolution within weeks of starting carnivore.

🧠

Mental Clarity

Stable blood sugar and ketosis from zero carbs often leads to reduced anxiety, improved mood, and enhanced focus.

🎯

Simplicity

No calorie counting, no macro tracking, no complicated meal planning. Eat meat when hungry. It's remarkably simple.

Important Considerations

The carnivore diet is a significant departure from conventional nutrition advice. While many report benefits, it should be approached thoughtfully. Consider:

  • • Consult a doctor before starting, especially with existing conditions
  • • Include organ meats or supplements for micronutrient completeness
  • • Monitor how you feel and consider blood work after 3-6 months
  • • This is often used as an elimination diet before reintroducing some foods
