Imagine reversing chronic health issues and losing weight effortlessly—many claim this is possible with the carnivore diet. As unconventional as it sounds, this all-animal approach has intrigued many seeking transformative health benefits.
What is the Carnivore Diet?
The carnivore diet is an eating plan that includes only animal foods, eliminating all plant-based options. This means no fruits, vegetables, grains, or legumes. The core idea is that plant foods contain compounds that can interfere with nutrient absorption and digestion.
Why Eliminate Plant Foods?
Plant foods contain compounds like phytates, lectins, and oxalates, which can bind to minerals and disrupt gut function. For example, phytates can reduce calcium and iron absorption, while lectins may damage the gut lining. By removing these, the carnivore diet aims to improve nutrient bioavailability and digestive health.
Variety in a Carnivore Diet
The carnivore diet doesn’t have to be monotonous. You can enjoy a variety of animal-based foods including red meats, organ meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, and even full-fat dairy if tolerated. This diversity helps keep meals interesting while meeting all your nutritional needs.
