Starting on the carnivore diet in 2020 completely changed my life: both physically and mentally. Within a few months of a meat & eggs-only diet, lifelong ailments and significant health issues which I assumed were just a sign of getting old...and that I'd have to accept as 'just the way it's going to be' either completely disappeared or reduced to such a degree that I no longer recognised them. A lot of what Paul is saying here has undoubtedly worked for me. However, I completely understand how difficult it is for some people to hear. If you're doing great, feeling great, no matter what you're eating, I think even Paul would encourage you to keep doing what you're doing. But if, like me, you do have autoimmune / health issues that you're struggling with, perhaps it's at least worth considering. After three years of this, I'm trying to learn not to park my own common sense at the door: not to blindly hand over responsibility for my own health to others, but instead listen to how my body reacts to the foods I eat. For those who do have issues similar to mine (asthma, eczema, IBS, chronic fatigue) I would strongly recommend keeping a food diary to track which foods might be contributing to your issues. Doing this helped me understand that it was heavy-carb meals (pasta, porridge, sandwiches) that were causing the fatigue.

Dr.P did not acknowledge cultures such as Indian , Chinese and Japanese etc that have entire food cultures that are not preeminently red meat . These cultures and people have been in existence for thousands of years , living healthy and long lives without all the maladies linked to grains , veggies and spices. There is plenty of research by scientists in these cultures about the health benefits of spices and plant based derivatives. What Dr.P espoused is only one narrow way of living a clean well nourished life . There are many ways to be mindful and eat clean , healthy foods that are practical and non- processed . Even in the United States social , religious, cultural and economic factors impact why people eat what they eat . Rural and urban communities in food deserts cannot afford or access steak , raw milk and freshly plucked honey .

Yes! Thank you, not to mention religious obligations toward vegetarianism and veganism- ie. Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, depending
