That sounds incredibly simplistic but it’s what your body wants. After all, it’s just a bunch of cells and bacteria breaking down food into chemical elements and conducting all of these awesome processes to keep you alive and in homeostasis… but when you stopped giving it the nutrients (the fuel) that it needed to maintain that balance, it stopped being able to perform all those functions.

But it’s not your fault.

You didn’t know that the fuel you were giving your body was not the right fuel. 

You’ve been told for years that you should eat less meat, eat less fat, consume more vegetable oils and eat carbs and sugar for energy. 

They even made a whole food pyramid about it, remember!

And for those of you who are here because you know all about healthy living and eating, you are likely all over the concept of nourishing your body, but maybe you’re still unwell, still looking for answers.

You healthy folk know about healthy fats (including saturated fats from animal products), you know about the benefits of grass-fed over grain-fed. 

You already buy organic and non GMO, you’ve quit sugar and know all about the super-foods. 

You eat low carb and have followed the movement online. You probably even know about ketosis and how to get there.

And you probably even feel the best you’ve ever felt, but maybe you’re still struggling. There are still symptoms that won’t go away completely.

What does your body want? 

Do you just need more time? Do you need more supplements? Do you need more tests? Or do you need more nourishment?

But there’s one thing that you haven’t tried. There’s one lifestyle that is becoming the most popular one out there…one that is changing people’s lives, giving them back their freedom, helping them heal from all of their digestive issues, re-balancing their hormones, losing their weight, healing their auto-immune conditions, getting their sexy back and above all NOURISHING them!

So why did I Go Carnivore?

I’ve been sugar free, low carb and keto. I kept changing direction and progressing and my health kept evolving; with each year, I kept healing.

When I heard about carnivore, I was very dubious. I heard a podcast between Robb Wolf and Dr. Shawn Baker in March 2018. But everyone in the keto world was saying that excess protein leads to the conversion of glucose and knocks you out of ketosis. Some people are still saying this.

In my opinion though, the goal of health isn’t to be in ketosis all the time. It’s about metabolic flexibility: the ability to go in and out of ketosis. To burn (body) fat when you need and make/use/store glucose appropriately. A body that can easily metabolize all types of food and use/create all necessary nutrients. Or, if the food is not consumed (in the case of carbs and sugar), the body can make its own glucose (gluconeogenesis)…

But I digress… so when I’d finally heard enough stories about the success people were having with carnivore (I read up on it for about a month), I decided to give it a try myself. I just dove straight on in without doing much research, I just trusted in the words of those who were doing it successfully, hoping that it would too, give me the edge I’d been looking for and help me to resolve those niggly last things that I still wasn’t feeling were 100%.

So in April, 2018, until November, I ate a largely carnivore diet. I ate meat, eggs and a little dairy. I strayed a little because it was totally new to me and I didn’t give up coffee completely. But the most important part:

I was no longer eating plants!

And all these improvements JUST by taking PLANTS out of the equation…
