Eat ONLY Meat for 30 Days?!
Can you survive on just meat? There are many critics of the carnivore diet, but what’s the truth? In this video, I’ll share the benefits of meat and what happens after only eating meat for 30 days.
What would actually happen if you consume only meat for 30 days? I think the best way to figure this out is to go to the experts. >> This is my big fear for these people. If you do it for a month and you lose 20 lbs and you feel better, great. But 20 years from now, your risk of heart disease and cancer and other medical problems are going to be very significant.
It’s very difficult, if not impossible, to debunk the carnivore diet or eating meat short term because people lose a lot of weight. This is what they do. This is just like a playbook that even the tobacco industry used. And that is to seed doubt or uncertainty. Yes, it works in the short term, but we don’t know long term it might be very dangerous.
If you are a carnivore lover and you really love the carnivore, please organize a randomized control trial. Then please show us somehow that a it’s going to help in the short term, but b more importantly the long term. A yearong investigation of two people in Belleview Medical Hospital who are eating an exclusive carnivore diet. And during that period of time, these people experienced no negative effects, no dangerous changes in blood pressure, kidney function. They only experienced good things, a little bit of weight loss, and came out of the study saying that they felt better than when they started.
Has there been anything since 1930 with more than two people >> discouraging people from even trying it? While we spend $4. 7 trillion on our healthcare, and what do we have to show for it? A lot of chronic disease. We’ve tested this balanced diet for decades.
And on the flip side, we had the longest trial ever in history. It’s called evolution. Hunter gatherers ate a lot of meat for a very long time and we survived. In fact, we thrived. What’s new in our diet is Pop-Tarts.
It’s the seed oils. When someone starts to eat just meat, okay, nothing else. The first thing that’s going to happen is they’re going to lose a lot of excess fluid. And some people say that’s a bad thing if you’re losing too much fluid. But you have to realize that if you’re on a high carb diet, you’re carrying around a tremendous amount of extra fluid.
And so getting rid of that is actually a healthy thing. Because we drop our carbohydrates down to zero, we enter into ketosis. We start losing weight like we’ve never lost weight before. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s something actually even bigger that happens.
You heal your gut. Vast majority of people have damage with their gut. When you start consuming meat only, you start healing the gut from many different angles. Bile salts go through our small intestine to clean up any excess bacteria that we don’t need. And if we don’t have that bile to keep that in check, we end up getting too much bacteria in the wrong part of the digestive system.
And then you start getting more bloating. With an allmeat diet or the carnivore diet, that clears up really fast. So, your digestive system is going to thank you. When someone says that you have to heal the gut with a plant or even fiber, they just do not know what they’re talking about. Adding more fiber to a gut that’s already inflamed, it’s like putting gasoline on a fire, it’s just going to make things worse.
You don’t have these amino acids in any of the plant foods. They’re in animal foods. Also, you’re eliminating another huge food group, grains. Most of the sugar that we eat is made from grains. That refined starch will spike your blood sugar way, way higher than actual sugar.
Well, even though it’s not called a sugar, they actually can label it a complex carbohydrate. Take a look at leaky gut. The question is, what causes that? Because that seems to be at the root of so many problems, especially autoimmune disease. Then you have a lot of chemicals in these whole grains.
Most grains are genetically modified, which means they have traces of this right here, Roundup Ready. You may be getting traces of this in your grains, which is also classified and patented as an antibiotic. Then when you start to consume salad or different types of vegetables, that then irritates you. Why? because you have gut inflammation already and you can’t handle all this extra fiber and plant chemicals that can irritate the gut.
When you start eliminating sugar and refined grains, you stop feeding these pathogens in our gut. So now if you had an overgrowth of fungus or yeast or candida, you just starve it to death. Let’s talk about insulin resistance just for a moment. It’s a huge problem. It comes from sugar and starches primarily.
If you have any disease that’s related to insulin resistance, which a lot of people do, those diseases tend to go away, try this out and see if it works for you. I remember one time I had severe constipation and I started to consume more meat and I was shocked to find out how that resolved my constipation. I thought I needed more fiber to handle my constipation. Absolutely not true. As you heal the gut and you have less inflammation, you are able to now finally absorb more vitamin D.
Vitamin D mainly gets absorbed in the small intestine. And if you have inflammation, that shuts it right down. You’re going to need to take higher amounts of it over a period of time because it’s the vitamin D that really corrects this imbalance within your immune system. Because you heal your gut, you instantly heal your brain. I’m talking about any type of lowered emotional symptom, whether it’s anxiety, depression, all those things start to improve when you start to eliminate the refined grains and sugar and you start eating more meat.
We’re mimicking millions of years of evolution of what we ate back in the day. We make it out to be some ridiculously dangerous thing that oh my gosh, we don’t know what’s going to happen long term. We have the argument, well, the meat diet is just too unsustainable. Maybe it is because you want carbohydrates and gaining weight and trying to get rid of all these metabolic problems with medication instead of food. Couple last points about an all meat diet.
Eat the whole animal, which includes bone broth and the skin and the organ meats. The other thing I would recommend is fish, shellfish, eggs. I hope you now know that if you were to consume meat long term, not only would it not be harmful to you, it can be extremely healthy for you.
