#36 Carnivore Is Not An Extreme Diet
If you prefer to watch the Youtube-version of this episode, watch it here. Welcome to Episode 36 of The Road to Carnivore Podcast! The carnivore diet is often criticized for being extreme. This is a fair initial reaction to have, however most people have no idea how recent and unprecedented our modern eating is. Even 100 years ago, people ate mostly animal products like meat and dairy, with simple vegetables and produce grown seasonally. Carnivore does cut out the vast majority of foods that are available to us, however it is the only diet that has eliminated both all of my health problems and all of my eating struggles. After nearly 5 years of this diet, my eyes have been opened to how extreme modern eating is. When most of the foods available to us are mixtures of seed oil, sugar, and flour, drastic measures often need to be taken in order to find true health.
