A Registered Dietitian Explains: The Carnivore Diet

[@graemecreegan6749]

Couple of points: People always push back against carnivore diet by saying ‘yes of course plants can be bad for some people, some times etc’ but fail to address the core concept of the carnivore diet i.e. that while most people can eat most plants and not have too much trouble, everyone would be healthier if they ate more meat and much less ultra-processed plant based carbohydrates. Many people try to debunk the hypothesis that a carnivore diet is how humans evolved to eat, claiming that hunter gatherer populations would eat whatever was available. This is true, but we also know that human populations survived for millennia on a meat only diet, while no population could survive without meat.

[@terri3961]

I was eating a diet free of processed foods. I ate only whole foods with veggies and it wasn't until I switch to carnovoire that i got rid of my GI issues and my chronic back pain went away! I am sleeping better too. So to say it's only an elimination diet, well for me it was more than that! I was already eating healthfully (I have a degree in nutritional science by the way). RDs really need to dig deeper in the history of nutrition education and dissect all the studies they site.

I started eating carnivore 5/1/2021 and I don’t need fiber nor do the 10K on the carnivore group I’m in. The “can you poop?” Is what everyone asks me and yes with zero effort it made zero issues with that but now have zero bloat, zero sugar cravings, zero skin breakout and any GI issues. I am off anti depressants, Blood pressure med and anxiety meds & sleep amazing! I wish I had heard of this way of eating it’s so easy for me who has been severely obese since I was in Elementary School & tried eating low carb but I would binge on low carb processed crap & sugar cravings never went away. First time ever I don’t think of food all day everyday. I literally thought about food Alllllll day and night! This is the best decision I have made! I am also no borderline longer T2 in just 3 full months🙌🏻 I might add veggies here and there in the future but eating meat is really not boring at all & haven’t once gotten bored.

Been carnivore for over 3 years. Never had scurvy or malnutrition. Also, there may be no scientofoc studies, but we have thousands of years of anthropological data and observations of societies that ate almost exclusively meat.

[@PrecisionNutritionYoutube]

Anthropological data and observations of other cultures have certainly impacted our understanding of how varied human nutritional needs can be. We should also remember, with any observational data set, that the main study focus should not be used to draw conclusions in isolation of other factors that likely impact overall outcomes. Daily activity, genetic homogeneity, and observational methods are all areas that need to be considered when applying this data to other more modern populations. And as always, at PN we're big fans of small scale self-experimentation, as long as safety is being considered and medical clearance has been given, we'd encourage folks to try things and draw their own conclusions.

[@ulyanaheward932]

Glucose and vit c are closely related and have the same molecular structure. They compete for glucose transporters in the cell membrane and are escorted into the cells by insulin. We now know that too much glucose not only inhibits the transport of vit c into cells, but it also inhibits the stimulation of other processes important to the immune system. In short, the more carbs you eat, the more vit c is needed to overcome the inhibition by glucose. In reality, all we really need is a measly 10 mg of vit c a day to prevent scurvy and other negative effects. But that is if you are not eating glucose. So on carnivore, you get the little vit c that you need from beef. That’s all we really need. No scurvy. 😂😂

[@Moralatheist101]

An all meat diet is readily digested and processed by the body, leaving very little bulk to come out. This guy is wrong about the carnivore diet, the Innuit have been eating this way for centuries. The recommended AHA diet suggests A LOT OF FIBER - vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, etc. All these things have fiber in them. The fiber will make you bloat and will pass through your system because we do not have organisms in our body to digest them - we got rid of those and our cecum along time ago. Fiber packs down in the colon and this makes it difficult to eliminate.

[@RandomHuTaoSimp]

Lets go ahead and debunk some claims about lacking nutrients. Vitamin C competes for the same transport receptors in your body as carbs. Being animal based usually eliminates most carbs, so your need for vitamin C go way down. This is why carnivores usually never get scurvy, and mostly have healthy vitamin C (water soluble) levels. Vitamin K1 is not an issue because the carnivore diet is extremely high in vitamin K2, and thus the body has the natural capacity to convert vitamin K2 into k1. This body cultivated vitamin k1 is therefore also more bio available then vitamin k1 from plant sources. 3rd, there are no meaningful research suggesting that phytonutrients play any actual long term age benefit in the human body. And last but not least, calcium. There are plenty of animal foods that have an EXCELLENT source of calcium, namely; pastured egg shells. 1 half a teaspoon contains 90% of your RDI of calcium carbonate. You can also get plenty of calcium from animal bone and bone marrow. Not a problem as these can definitely be included in an animal based or carnivore diet. Our ancestors made sure they ate nose to tail. Your welcome, and I hope my knowledge can assist whoever sees this comment! OOOOH, and guess what, meat not having phytonutrients is actually incorrect. Ruminants actually obtain phytonutrients in their fatty tissues as they graze on plants with polythenols.

Carnivore diet is the best! 🥩

[@DontDefuse]

Seems like you contradict yourself in this video. You say carnivore diet works for so many people because they're restricting their diet and avoiding certain vegetables that their sensitive too. If we were meant to eat these certain vegetables, why would we still have sensitivities to them and why would our ancestors eat them if it made them feel bad? Meat is our main food source and these vegetables were just a temporary means to stay alive before the next hunt. Do you think ancient people ate beans and leafy vegetables when they had meat around? I doubt it. Think of it as this. Technically, certain tree bark can be eaten and provide nourishment in a desperate survival situation, so should we all include tree bark in our diet? No, because we have access to meat/organs, so there's no need for supplementary foods. You have to remember, plants don't want to be eaten either and their form of defense is being toxic upon ingestion. We can eat meat raw, given that it's fresh, with no ill effect. Can't say the same for a majority of plants. If you need to go out of your way to pick them at a certain time, then cook them to destroy the toxins and make it edible, it is not meant to be eaten.

[@SilverSixpence888]

Yes. And how many modern fruits and vegetables did our ancestors have access to? Zero. Almost all plant matter available to us today has been engineered over the years to look nice, taste sweet, be easy to grow, or transport well. We did not evolve to have year-long access to high fructose, high fibre plant matter, and we are not meant to eat it.

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

"first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" Absolutely. I went through all that with keto, which I did around 80% carnivore. My doctor, my family, friends, EVERYONE thought I'd lost it and was a poor ignorant fool for falling for "fad diets". My cousin, a biochemist working in research, told me I'd get really sick on it and that it wasn't natural...as he polished off his 3rd dessert lol When I went to my doctor to get bloodwork done, I swear he actually looked disappointed and ANNOYED because my blood test results were, in his words, "Perfect". He had told me months earlier that I'd stress my liver and kidneys and that it could be dangerous......"Perfect". After giving me the good news, he advised me to add carbs back into my diet. I asked him "why?" and "based on what?", his response: "It just can't be good for you." LOL It was really a wake up call for me. There's a lot "experts" and so-called scientifically minded people out there that are more concerned about feeling "right" than actually paying attention to research. I was astounded by their lack of awareness, information, and curiosity around keto related studies. I could even mention studies and my cousin, doctor, and others just looked annoyed, as if some pleb like me couldn't possibly be trusted to understand research...the very thing I did in university to get my B.S. in Psychology. Really eye-opening how ego-driven and willfully ignorant many doctors and scientists are. It was like they took my diet (and its success) as a personal offense to their intelligence. Unfortunately, I eventually gave in to the pressure. The better I was doing, the more annoyed people seemed to become. I folded. I was tired of people thinking I was a crazy health nut who always had to bring their own food places or eat very selective things at restaurants and dinner parties. I'd originally started keto out of desperation. I had almost everything wrong with me you can think of. Doctors were no help and apathetic to my misery because they didn't know what was wrong. Their solution was for me to keep coming back to tell them how bad I felt before being told to come back and tell them a gain in a couple months. Then, I stumbled across keto and after months of research, decided to take the plunge. Here I am now, after 2 years being off keto/carnivore, feeling sick as hell, bloated, constant GI issues, depressed, brain fog, sleep apnea, terrible skin, fat, and tired. I'm going to give it another go, starting with carnivore before adding new things into the mix. I KNOW how it makes me feel. I have the test results to prove it's safe. I'm tired of trying to ignore the facts and my own lived experience just so I won't be gaslit and thought of as weird by the other people in my life. Misery loves company. Most of the people that were "concerned" for me aren't exactly paragons of health.

I looked at it like if I were to eliminate absolutely everything that COULD affect me then what would I be safely left with. I found out that in red meat (in the context of cutting out everything else) there is ever single ESSENTIAL nutrient that the human body needs. Essential meaning if we do not consume it exogenously then we will suffer from malnutrition. There is no other plant food in the world that had all of these. And, on the contrary may have compounds that restrict the body from absorbing what little nutrients is there anyways. A good clinical study to look at is the one about zinc absorption from oysters when eaten with/without legumes or corn chips. There has only been 1 clinical study on fiber in the human diet and it states that nearly 100% of all the participants had their complications inprove with 0 fiber. That's it in all the history.

I have come to the conclusion that a short-term application of a very carefully modified carnivore diet is the only way I'm going to be able to effectively tackle this medication-induced hyper-hyperglycemia which is threatening to prevent me from being cleared for surgery to remove the tumor and subsequently the meds that are inflating my sugars.

So I really want to break from that addiction and not have food be the center of my life. Keto did not do that for me, I am hoping carnivore will.

[@DontDefuse]

Hope you found success with your carnivore diet. The thing with vegetables, fruits, and carbs is that it's not meant to be eaten every single day. We as humans crave meat and organs of other animals as our main source of nutrition. Plants only came into play during desperate times in between hunts in order to stay alive and have some sort of energy. Back then, it was probably a very rare sweet treat to find a ripe apple or orange. Remember, plants don't want to be eaten either and were not put on this earth for the sole purpose of being eaten. Their form of defense is being toxic. Which can range from indigestion to straight up death. For example, cashews are very poisonous if not picked at the right time or roasted to remove the toxin. And if you do go with this carnivore diet, don't eat 3 meals a day. Don't be afraid to skip breakfast. The whole 3 meal a day thing is a societal construct. Which is why obesity is so rampant. I think you'll find if you eat only when you're truly hungry and eat animal product, you can go much longer in between meals and require much less food to feel satisfied. Also, ignore the whole fiber thing. Fiber is only needed for people that pack their stomachs with junk 3 times a day and wonder why they have indigestion and slow metabolism. We are not meant to process that much food per day, every day. Good luck!

Hey there, Ziggy.

This is by no means definitive, but to not highlight this risk is negligent and would do our community a disservice to not represent this topic with as much clarity as possible.

[@ziggyjohnston5302]

@@PrecisionNutritionKZbin Thanks for straw manning me. We can disagree about whether or not we have long term data regarding the carnivore/ketogenic diet (human evolution is plenty of evidence for me), but you left out an important part of what he said. He didn't just say that the diet hasn't been studied long term. He also said that if you follow it long term you are at risk. For what? He did not specify, but he said you will be at risk if you follow the diet long term. Then he proceeds to explain how animal foods lack certain antioxidants, vitamin C, K1 and calcium. First of all, it is important to know that the same vitamin requirements for a glycolytic diet are not the same on a ketogenic, carnivore or low carb diet. And secondly, his statement is false with the exception of vitamin K1 (which also needs to be studied more). Liver contains a high quantity of vitamin C and grass fed dairy contains K2 and calcium. To what I was saying about different requirements on different metabolism- you need very little vitamin C on a carnivore diet because carbs and vitamin C compete for the same pathways of absorption. www.insulean.co.uk/ascorbic-acid-glucose/ So when you eat carbs, your need for vitamin C is drastically increased. And contrary to popular belief, meat actually does contain vitamin C. All animals make it inside of their tissues except humans and two other mammals. As for K1 (the type of vitamin K found in plants) is only absorbed at a rate of around 10% so you aren't getting very much of it, even if you eat plants. However, vitamin K2 (found in animals) is easily absorbed. K2 does the same work as K1, with the partial exception of blood clotting. However, K1 deficiencies are immediately present and are related to bruising/blood clotting. I've known and seen many people who have gone carnivore for quite some time (5+ years) and they have presented no signs of bruising or bleeding easily or having issues with clotting. Now this is an anecdote so it does need to be studied more. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK222299/ -"Because of the lack of data to estimate an average requirement, an Adequate Intake (AI) is set based on representative dietary intake data from healthy individuals" so under the context of a carnivore diet, vitamin K1 clearly needs to be looked at. You can make the argument that this diet needs to be studied more (although human evolution has already given us this data), but you can't factually state that there are health risks from this diet right after stating that this diet hasn't been studied. You can't have it both ways. You then go on to state that "There is data on higher animal product intakes and the data may suggest some correlational relationship exists between high levels of animal product intake and elevated risk of mortality." But this data was from research done on people eating carbohydrate intense diets. So you can't isolate for animal products when they're being eaten with carbs. Eating a wild animal with no carbs vs eating hamburgers, corn dogs and chicken nuggets are completely different. You can't just lump those in the same category. Most Americans that have heart conditions or are obese/diabetic eat a lot of carbs and they also eat a lot of meat. But none of the research you're talking about has separated these macro nutrients so we can't tell if it's a causal relationship. In other words, you can't make claims about the carnivore diet with research that's based off of the standard American diet

The issue is the data that currently exists leading to the theory of animal protein being bad for heart health etc is purely cohort. All epidemiological, and fails to acknowledge weather subjects smoked, consumed sugar along with meat, etc. There's zero solid evidence that meat is bad, and there's a huge difference between grass fed Grech meat and ultra processed junk meat. Most studies don't differentiate. And a questionnaire followed by years of checking in is laughable. So people just assume it's bad until proven good.

[@conniepower4739]

It's a proper human diet. We don't need vegetables or carbs.

[@fitawrarifitness6842]

I eat a plant based whole food and never had an issue. I dont count calories, or watch portion sizes. I eat high carbs and stay active. The only thing i restrict besides animal products is oils. I feel great.

Name one essential carb. If we cannot process fiber, then we get nothing from it and do not need it.

[@johnnyfalcon1758]

Fiber and glycogen are important

[@invictusdomini8624]

I lost forty pounds (365 -> 325) in less than eight weeks on carnivore-ish diet, the -ish being some spices and some non-carnivore ingredients in, say Coke Zero or sugar-free popsicles! Humans do not need greens, fruit, or grains if their diets are diverse enough in carnivore. Plenty of tribal examples exist disproving the assertion that fiber and phytonutrients are essential for survival!

@Bill T Humans are anatomically herbivores and carnivores, to be exact.

[@trilliam8806]

@Bill T we don’t have a SINGLE meat eating trait? Canines? A body that craves and thrives off large amounts of protein? A body that has enzymes that break down meat? What are you talking about lol. I do not believe that we are meant to FULLY just eat meat but to say that we shouldn’t eat meat at all is crazy.

By using artificial sweetener you are triggering an insulin response and the hunger it triggers. Very counterproductive to insulin control.

[@davidbusuttil5955]

Why is malnutrition a risk on carnivore when you can get Vitamins C, K1 and Calcium from liver, chicken and milk? Carnivore does require some planning to be aware of what foods are important to get all these nutrients, but the same can be said for every other diet.

[@Jamac007]

So this is similar to the Atkinson diet?

[@carnivorepolice5-0]

You just said that there is no long term studies of this diet, so your information on long term is at best skewed. Can you explain what long term means? I have been on a carnivor diet for 18 months and it's amazing there is no awkwardness in a social setting its simple even eating out. The cost is much cheaper than when I tried vegan whole foods and the meals more satisfying. I do appreciate ya not just bashing it though the nutrionist that recommended that I try it asked me not to disclose it to the hospital he worked at do to fear of backlash.

[@craigmcneil3987]

Long term usually means 7 years or more.

[@PrecisionNutritionYoutube]

Solid question! There is no one scientifically accepted definition of "long-term" and it likely varies from field to field. In geology or astronomy, observational data can be collected that reflects data from a few decades to a few million years. In health related fields, a study usually qualifies as long term if it covers multiple years, and longer periods of observation (along with more direct measurement, and detailed follow up) will carry more weight when helping to generate consensus within the research community. Science and scientific consensus is never a closed case, as the evidence evolves over time. That being said, with the carnivore diet, or any new diet trend, we look at the totality of the evidence we have right now when evaluating its sustainability and ability to promote health. That evidence suggests that a purely meat based diet will likely leave some nutritional needs unmet, but as more compelling case studies emerge (like yours!), further longer term studies will likely be conducted.

[@carnivorepolice5-0]

@@PrecisionNutritionKZbin its interesting I have yet to figure out what nutritional needs I cannot meet with all meat. Liver and red meat are my main sources as well as some fatty fish.

[@gabzz72]

Hey, there’s a tribe in Africa called the Maasai that had lived on the carnivore diet for at least the last century, they are a good source of scientific information- ps they have very specific health issues, not to mention they eat lean meat, so the average carnivore diet consumer will probably have more healthy issues coz they consume more meat and fat.

[@andrewdickinson1981]

The fact the channel is called Precision Nutrition shows this is a brand not a proper medical journal. The evolution of humanity was also not mainly on plants because they were easily available. It wasn’t until farming that plants and grains were more widely eaten and that’s when we got fatter and more unhealthy. This guy is just spouting knowledge he was likely taught but has less understanding of.

[@PrecisionNutritionYoutube]

Yes, Precision Nutrition is not a scientific journal. But here is an article you may find useful in furthering your own understanding of human dietary patterns. LINK: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19857053/ Also worth noting, making broad generalizations about "humanity" comes with the caveat that human populations evolved in many locations with various lifestyles, customs ,and environmental pressures guiding that evolution.

Either disingenuous or didnt do his research. That was not advice for following a carnivorous way of eating.

It was a start and he didn't out right bash the diet.

[@redTanto]

@@carnivorepolice5-0 It would be odd to tell someone to smoke a cig backwards, steer a vehicle with their feet, or communicate by slapping. He was somehow farther off the mark than that. As if you were told to operate a vehicle by not getting one in the first place and then to imagine you are doing it.

[@PrecisionNutritionYoutube]

Currently there are ~1700 papers that appear on Pub Med in regard to the search terms "carnivore diet humans". The vast majority of those papers are from the world of veterinary medicine and done on felines (obligate carnivores) and canines. If there is some high-quality, peer reviewed research pertaining to the subject that we missed, please feel free to send it our way! We're always open to updating our position based on new data.

Sugar and processed food has flooded supermarkets to the point where healthy eating is now so complicated 😡

[@smarterworkout]

The great thing about carnivore is if your eating high fat/high protein and you have problems - it's most likely a sign that there is something else wrong with you. So if you can't poop - it's not the diet, it probably means there is something else like a disease or genetic factor that's affecting normal body functioning. If your doing it correctly and it's not working as it should - get checked out. There maybe an underlying issue that you never knew was even there. So the carnivore diet can help expose any serious health issue that may be covered up by the standard american "healthy" diet.

[@Vivian-Da-Artist]

I'm going carnivore. Eating meat, eggs, cheese and fish, but having a hard time getting fresh meat. I have to order from a local supermarket since I'm a senior citizen and I don't drive. Can you recommend a meat company that can deliver fresh meat? A lot of supermarkets are selling us meat that has chemicals to make the meat look okay but it's old. Thanks for any ideas or help you give me.

[@johnow7]

Dietician: There is not enough long term clinical data to prove the carnivore diet is beneficial. Also Dietician: There is not enough long term clinical data to prove the carnivore diet is beneficial but I am going to explain why it is beneficial. **Just teasing** I very much appreciate your balanced approach to presenting this information. Some dieticians are hypercritical towards the diet and ignore the reported health benefits. The plants that we ate post agriculture were not like the plants we see in the grocery store today. The actual caloric content was much lower than what we have today. There are carnivores who have been on this diet for well over a decade. Kelly Hogan (13 years) and Rick Rodriguez (39 years) come to mind. Like many diets, some will find it easily sustainable and others will not. I have been at it a month and find it much more easier for me to maintain than when I was raw vegan and vegetarian.

I've been on a carnivore diet 20 years before it was even a thing. This is because being a vegetarian for 15 years caused my body to go into defibrillation and I nearly died. Basically I'll stay on a all meat diet for 6 months enjoy great health then I will eat some carbs and get ridiculously sick and I only do that because my doctor was yelling at me and seriously I just think I'm going to go all meat. Plants make me sick end of story I'll miss the bread but not enough to have the kind of problems I had from carbohydrates. I still eat some vegetables that are low in carbs but not a lot my diet's probably about 95% of meat. No we do not need fiber. When you first get onto a meat diet I know this because I would get off for a month out of every 6 months you s*** a lot of water. But after about a month it goes away and you can go to the bathroom pooping normal again.

What you're doing is what people call ketovore, if it's very low carb. I understand the bread thing.. Let's face it: bread is a hyper-palatable delight, lol. There are carnivore/keto variations that many people enjoy.
