Diets are like the weather in Nebraska, if you don't like it, just wait, it will change. If you don't like the Keto, Mediterranean, Vegan or the Fasting diet, just wait, here's another one. Dr. Shawn Baker, a 52 year old orthopedic surgeon and multi-sport world record holder masters athlete, is boasting the benefits of following the carnivore diet.
For the last year, he has not eaten vegetables or fruit. Zero carbohydrates! As a surgeon, he soon realized that many surgeries could and should be avoided. He began asking his patients to change their diet to reduce inflammation and avoid surgery. Although most people did not want the "simple" fix, they wanted the "easy" fix surgery. The benefits are very impressive. The all meat diet claims to reduce body fat along with improving cognition, focus and mental clarity. Also, consuming steaks reduces food cravings, improves satiety, stabilizes blood sugar and decreases triglycerides. Not convinced yet? Meat eaters also have less digestive issues, less gas, bloating and heartburn. Baker tells people to not rely on lab numbers to tell them how they feel. He says cholesterol levels can drop 100 points within a week. That is like taking the temperature one day in January and using it as your guide for the year. He suggests asking yourself the following questions. How is your energy? Are you getting leaner? Are you getting stronger? How is your Labido? Are you getting quality sleep? Do you have aches and pains? He claims meat has helped him achieve optimal health in all those ares after the other diets failed him. Is the "carnivore diet" for everyone? Please tell me you answered "No"! There is not a one size fits all in the diet world. The one thing we all agree on in the diet industry is eliminate processed food. Listen to your body. Educate yourself or allow a nutrition coach to educate you and guide you to optimal health. Only one thing left to say...."Where's the Beef?" Feel the Rush
