The Carnivore Diet

By Dom Jones

Is The All-Meat Diet Healthy or Crazy?

 

Have you tried a string of diets that have left you feeling hungry, tired and irritable?

 

Are you fed up with an endless life of salads and bland, watery soups?

 

Do you finally want to try an approach where health is the center and weight loss is the bonus?

 

Don't fall for the hype: the answer isn't vegan. The answer's meat.

 

Almost 2 in 5 women and one in six men are on a diet most of the time, according to research by Mintel. Most of these diets are aimed at losing weight, with too much focus on cutting fat and not enough focus on nutrition.

 

The media wants us to believe that meat is the bad guy, full of saturated fat that will hinder your weight loss efforts, but don't let them fool you. Meat is a powerhouse of nutrition, packed full of complex nutrients that can't be found in plants.

 

Who said you can't have your steak and lose weight? In fact, steak's about to become your new best friend.

 

In The Carnivore Diet, you'll discover:

 

• Why a meatless diet is a serious mistake
• The true enemy of weight loss in the modern diet
• The origins of a carnivore diet and the proof that we're meant to eat this way
• How 99% of diets overcomplicate things
• A bulletproof strategy for getting all your nutrition from animal products
• The top health benefits of prioritizing meat
• Why everything you thought you knew about animal fat is wrong
• A candid review of what you can expect when you switch to a carnivore diet
• A five-tiered system to support your transition into a carnivore lifestyle
• A clear guide to carnivore-friendly foods

 

And much more.

 

Humans have been consuming meat for hundreds of thousands of years. Does it really make sense for us to turn our back on that and gorge ourselves on sugary fruits and starchy vegetables?

 

By going back to nature, you stand to see significant improvements in your health.

 

Watch inflammation go down, strength go up, and fat fall off… all by tucking into juicy, high quality cuts of meat.

 

Forget the lettuce: your tortured relationship is over. It's time to sharpen your steak knives.

When you follow this diet, your body will get all the nutrients it needs, you will feel more energetic, and you’ll improve your physical health, too. Are you wondering how I know all these things? Well, let me tell you a little about myself.

My name is Yasmin Gill, and I am a family physician. I graduated from Yale school of medicine and have been a practicing physician for over 20 years. I live in Connecticut with my husband and three wonderful children. I love to exercise, especially CrossFit and running. I'm passionate about nutrition and understand its importance in my life. However, I did go through my fair share of troubles before I came to this realization.

Growing up, my diet was extremely unhealthy. It was the typical diet of an average American. Most people still consume this diet. I had a terrible weakness for chocolate that I couldn't resist. As I aged, I gained weight rapidly. Regardless of exercise, limiting my food intake, following various diets, I was still overweight. Nothing worked. I used to feel tired most of the time and dealt with a variety of skin troubles, as well. Apart from this, there were unexplainable pains and aches I experienced in different parts of my body.

During my practice, I came across patients who kept repeating similar stories to me. After I diagnosed them with metabolic syndrome, I realized I had the same problem. Weight loss became
