Summary

You’ve probably seen the rise in popularity of the carnivore diet, but, is it worth trying it, how much different is it to the paleo diet, and the keto diet, and other diets that focus on a low or no carb intake? Tom and I explore the roots of this diet, where the various ancestral nutrition arguments start and stop, whether you can be healthy eating only meat, why it’s good for weight loss, why it’s not medicinal like some preach, where some ‘influencers’ have been caught out with their messages online, and ultimately, where the science lies on this topic.

It'll have been on a podcast and it'll either been Joe Rogin or it'll have been Jordan Peterson or his daughter, Michaela, who was like, I think

1:07.0

Michaela is probably the person that really introduced it to me.

1:11.6

Well, I found out about it through her content, but obviously she's not the originator. But yeah, it's a, it's an interesting one and I don't think that people are expecting me to say what I'm going to.

Eat loads of meat and if you get into the nuances, don't eat things like fruit because there's bad things in it and there's lectins and there's all sorts of stuff that will jump out and get you.
