From the Publisher

For the past 100 years, we've been told to avoid high-fat cuts of meat in favor of eating lots of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. But where has that style of eating taken us? Right into the territory of being chronically sick and overweight.

Don’t allow yourself to concede to eating food full of cheap grain, sugar, and highly processed oils. Take charge of your health and give your body what it needs: meat!

How Should I Approach the Carnivore Diet? What Should I Eat? What Kind of Changes Can I Expect?

No matter how you end up implementing your carnivore diet, the biggest takeaway is that meat is a crucial part of human nutrition.

Incredible Read

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019

I've spent my entire life questioning the system and going against the grain. I was a vegetarian, a vegan, a raw vegan and a Seventh Day Adventist during my 20's. I had a lot of health problems as a teenager and was in search for answers. I tried the no meat approach and got only sicker, more depressed, weaker, fatter and just plain miserable. I remember the first time I decided I was going to eat meat again and had some roasted chicken. I couldn't stop eating it. It was so delicious. While I started eating meat again, I was still deeply entrenched in the ideas that I needed greens too so I ate a lot of chicken salads. I didn't start eating more red meat until I learned about Weston A. Price and even then I was only eating red meat several times a week. Even though I adopted all the beliefs of the Weston A. Price foundation and incorporated them into my daily life for several years, I just kept getting sicker and sicker and sicker. I then switched to a Paleo Diet felt better, hopped over to a Keto Diet (indulging on copious amounts of fat and low protein) and while I felt better for a couple of months, I was losing gobs of hair and then my health took a turn for the worst. At that point, I was forced into an all-red meat diet before there was even a term for it. I started reading Protein Power by Dr. Michael Eades and learned how important animal protein was to the body. I was scared because all I could eat was red meat. I couldn't handle anything else but red meat. My body would blow up like a balloon if I tried to eat anything else. My digestive system could only handle red meat. Magically, within 6 months I got better. I mean I just didn't get better I was a freaking superhero. I became so lean and stronger than I had ever been in my life. I was able to do 10 hallow body (true) pull-ups and human flags. I couldn't even hold myself up to the bar during our high school physical ed testing. Here at 34 years old, I was a beast. I did "carnivore" for about 18 months and as my body healed I began to add more foods back into my diet and that was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. I was still under the belief system that red meat was bad and caused cancer and there wasn't enough information still about eating just red meat. So I started adding back chicken and protein shakes and replaced my red meat which went back down to only eating a couple of times a week. Within 2 years my health my a drastic and sharp decline to the point where I was turning blue/purple, my blood pressure was dropping so low I could barely walk/stand and I would pass out. I was having severe neurological issues, digestive issues and more. By the time I found a holistic doctor I was diagnosed with Epstein Barr, Lyme disease, hypothyroid nd more. I then started my $1000 a month supplement program which included bio-identical hormone therapy, thyroid medications, and a host of other crap I had to swallow. In the beginning, I was grateful to get some sort of normal life back, but then I started questioning everything. Not to mention spending $1000 a month on supplements just to stay awake sucked. I kept asking there MUST be a better way. Then in December of 2018 I started making serious changes. By March I came across Shawn's Instagram page and followed. When I reached out to him and he told me he takes ZERO supplements I was floored. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I was like HOW is that even possible. We've been conditioned to believe that we can't survive without supplements today because we are deficient, the soil is deficient and therefore if we don't supplement we are deficient. Like every time I would get my blood tested I was always super low in magnesium no matter how much oral supplements I would swallow or how much magnesium I would slather on my body or Epsom salt baths I would take, I was low. But, after reading Shwan's book, I understand why. More importantly, since I've doubled up on my red meat, I don't NEED as much magnesium anymore. By July of 2019, I was able to come off of pretty much EVERYTHING. As I write this review, I still can't believe I quit everything and I feel the best and I have the CONFIDENCE now with this book. I have the research to back it up which I didn't have before and a community of like-minded people who also are thriving and that is huge. I've been low carb for a long time so the transition was easy for me and now you couldn't get me to touch chicken. All I eat is red meat and raw milk. I've even cut back significantly on my water consumption. Today I'm 47 years old, I feel like I'm aging backward and the things I can do with my body are incredible. Shawn is 100% correct about the Seventh Day Adventist's hand in shaping our nutritional advice. This book will really make you think about EVERYTHING. Even in Keto land most of the KETO players have to "fill the nutritional gap" and sell crap. Their keto coaching and culture is founded on all their foods and supplements. They all have something to sell whether it is supplements, collagen protein or expensive junk food bars. If you have to "fill the gap" it isn't a sustainable diet and who the hell wants to walk around pricking their fingers or peeing on sticks and hoping for ketones and just being obsessed in general. I love this diet because it is so simple; eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty, eat red meat! Shawn has changed my life and I'm so grateful for this book! I'd give it 10 stars if it would let me. - Freda

Surprising results

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2021

It is expected that people are skeptical a as bout a all meat diet, it’s not how we grew up.

The book is well written, it has a good story line. But there are pros and cons.

Pro: anecdotal stories and circumstantial evidence is strong and compelling
Con: while refuting established norms are refuting scientific research can be fine, no opposing research has as of yet been conducted to proof the concept.

Reality: coming from the Atkins diet, I’m used to low carb diets. But as with essentially any diet, it’s based on food restriction to get weight loss results. The Carnivore diet is different. It encourages eating until satisfied.
I started this diet on Dec. 26 2020, today is Jan 10 2021, so I’m 16 days in.

The first observation I made is that, yes, only having meat on the plate is enough. You do get full and get satisfied. As a result, I no longer experience that tired sensation after eating. I also don’t feel hungry a few hours later. Snacking in between meals has completely disappeared. I can finally resist, because I don’t feel a need for snacks.

The next thing I observed is that 12 hours between meals is not a problem. I eat around 2pm and again around 4am (I have a non traditional schedule). I even started to skip either meal because I simply am not hungry.

At over 350 pounds, there are few scales that work for me, so I have no accurate starting weight. However, my ankles are no longer swollen like they used to. I feel itching of the skin, which is a result of weight loss. My mood has improved. My mental health has improved. Walking is easier. Food no longer drives me. All reasons to keep going on this diet. I feel no restriction, yet I am eating less as I keep going.

Not perfect: while I am technically 100% carnivore now, I haven’t found a convenient source of lard or tallow, so I’m using up my EVOO. Butter is not an alternative because I’m lactose intolerant. Also I still consume 2-3 20oz bottles of Diet Coke per day. Otherwise it’s just water. A couple times a week I’m also using fresh garlic or garlic powder. So I guess I’m cheating a little bit. I have calves liver in the freezer and that goes perfectly with sautéed onions...we will see what I do about that.

Biggest negative aspect is there is diarrhea involved in the transition. It usually happens 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating. But only once, not like as if you had bad food and get all cramped up. However, this has mostly cleared up by now as well.

Cost: is it more expensive? That depends on your previous food budget and eating habits. My actual budget so far is $70-80 per week. I don’t buy expensive rib eye steaks though. Lots of ground beef, a roast, some cheap steaks, hot Italian sausage and eggs. A fried egg on top a steak is perfect. My second week I ate 14 out of the 16 pounds of meat I had bought and about 18 eggs. At $80 a week that’s $11.50 a day or $5.75 a meal. Totally doable.

Social Life : going out is different now. Not only is there little on most menus to order (unless you get a steak or burger) but you may find that you are not hungry and interested in eating if you had breakfast/lunch already. Spending the evening drinking may also be a thing of the past since it interferes with the purpose of the diet. It almost throws the entire culinary arts into question. One exception would be southern bbq. Traditional holiday fare? Maybe you treat yourself to sone but chances are you will skip the side dishes and just eat your meat. Hanging out with vegan friends is easier now - after all you can order one meal and share, you get the meat and your vegan friend can eat the side dishes.

Verdict: Approved and recommend. If for no other reason then the ability to resist snacking, the carnivore diet is worth a try. I would certainly say give it a 30-day trial and be honest with yourself.

I liked to hear stories of people going carnivore to regain their health and well-being and appreciated that the author is a medical doctor who recommends this diet for his patients. He clearly spells out how it helps with most diseases people suffer with and makes it seems so easy to start on the diet. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a chronic disease or anyone who simply wants to level up in their health status. I ghighly encourage reading this book to get a clearer understanding of another POWERFUL nutritional technique that is very practical and very likely to bring good results.

Eye Opening!

This book does an excellent job of showing how we have been lied to for decades. Common "wisdom" is often not based on fact. Well written with some appreciated humor. If health is your ultimate goal, read this book and do some of your own research. Dr. Baker and many others embrace this way of eating for very valid reasons. I've spent hours digging and reading. This book helped open my eyes and left me shocked while doing so. There are no lack of testimonials and stories from people who have improved their health in very meaningful ways. I'm going carnivore next week, on Jan 1st. Read this book with an open mind and do some research yourself. Verify what Dr. Baker says. He is far from the only one. Not based on some pyramid. No tracking calories or calculating macros. It's simple, and the reasoning makes a lot more sense than what we have been told for decades.

Life changing; gives you a lot of juicy information to chew on

Reviewed in Canada on June 14, 2023

I have long discovered that in order to get anywhere with your health, YOU have to do your own research, without relying on the medical establishment to help you. For years I have been trying to figure out what I can do to heal, and this book was the final stepping stone that led me to the answer.

Baker explains in layman's terms the human body's need for meat, why it is required, and how it is processed in comparison to other foods. The concept is simple: by eating only meat, you remove all "fluff" that your body normally has to fight through, giving it more energy and power to heal itself. I particularly liked the sections dedicated to answering the skeptic's questions about carnivores, such as the alleged lack of vitamins and minerals, or the alleged need for fiber.

Granted, not every human body is the same, and some people may not take well to certain diets, even if they work for huge numbers of others. I recommend this book to anyone interested in nutrition, and how it affects *everything* in your system. What I have learned (from this book and personal experience) is that health truly does start and end with the gut, and this book can provide valuable insight about how that works, and may provide you an option to try, if, like me, you found yourself frustrated at the unhelpfulness of and lack of options in modern medicine.

This is also the best book to start with regarding Carnivoring, in my opinion. There are many other great books on this topic, but I think Baker takes all the key questions people have, and key concepts regarding how this diet (ahem, lifestyle) works, and puts it all in a perfectly digestible format for the curious beginner.
