The Carnivore Diet Is Growing In Popularity (2024)
I follow Dr. Shawn Baker on X/Twitter because he is not only one of the most knowledgeable proponents of the Carnivore Diet, but he’s also often pretty damn funny and entertaining in how he advocates for Carnivore in videos like this one, and this one, oh and like this one too.
Dr. Baker, we just went through a pandemic where people mindlessly trusted their governmental & medical authority figures and ended up:
1. Wearing useless paper masks
2. Closing down their businesses & schools & churches
3. Got experimental shots without an informed consent
4. Breaking ties with family/friends who wouldn't follow the counsel of the experts to do #1-3 listed above
It's a painful fact a large segment of our society is still at this point geared toward believing whatever their medical authority figures tell them to think about food, cholesterol, what causes diabetes & insulin resistance, and what causes cardiovascular disease.
And so when they're told by many of these experts who got everything about the pandemic wrong that a Carnivore Diet will harm someone, they don't question it; they accept it as a fact.
They are not aware and do not know that the Sugar industry [and very likely the Wheat, Corn, & Seed Oil industries] have been underwriting rigged 'medical/health research studies' since the 1960s.
In this column linked below, I wrote about the 2016 discovery of the rigged Harvard study that 'found' animal fat and not sugar was the cause of the rising trends of obesity, diabetes, and CVD in 1967.
The Big Food industry, which extensively and very profitably uses Sugar, Corn, Wheat, and seed Oil in almost all of its processed food products, has been cleverly faking the 'science' for decades now to point the public in the WRONG DIRECTION when the question comes up: "What in the American diet is causing the crisis epidemic of diabesity in this country?"
Big Food and its captured medical spokespersons have a **vested financial interest** in convincing people the cause is Americans eating far too much meat and animal fat. Big Food grows increasingly desperate to keep everyone looking at animal-based diets and not at their toxic food products.
This helps explain why Big Food is utilizing vegan enthusiasts to ferociously oppose the rising popularity of the Carnivore Diet.
The role of sugar, wheat, corn, and seed oil cannot be left uncovered in explaining why the Carnivore Diet works so well for so many people. There are powerful industries whose profits depend on millions of Americans remaining ignorant or misled about this issue.
From what I've seen since I became aware of the Carnivore/Vegan 'civil war' in the past few months, the big reason many of these vegan enthusiasts can't argue effectively against Carnivore is that all propaganda relies on emotional appeals, misdirection, and appeals to authority.
Whether wittingly or not, they end up functioning as propagandists for an evil industry out to not only cover up and hide its crimes but that also fully intends to continue poisoning and sickening new generations of Americans with its crap processed foods full of sugar, wheat, corn, and seed oils.
Unfortunately for Big Food, Rockefeller Medicine, Big Pharma, and Big Government, the American public is slowly starting to wake up and educate itself about how it has been deceived and misled by the health/medical experts it once fully trusted.
That trust is going to have to be earned back. Thus far, I don't see those medical authorities who swallowed their tongues and allowed this massive diabesity crisis to arise over the past 50 years doing much of anything to regain that crucial trust.
Instead, they're doubling down on the Rockefeller Medicine model, pushing Ozempic as a 'solution' while allowing Big Food to send out their quack vegan propagandists to try to convince people eating a diet of real food is bad for them.
I believe the 'experts' have chosen...poorly by doing that.
Oh, and me, too, if you’re not already doing so. :)

From former vegans to low carb aficionados, the Carnivore diet has been gaining in popularity over the past several years due in large part to the many health benefits people are experiencing.
The “carnivore diet,” based on animal foods and excluding most or all plant foods, has attracted recent popular attention. However, little is known about the health effects and tolerability of this diet, and concerns for nutrient deficiencies and cardiovascular disease risk have been raised.
In 2018, the carnivore diet was promoted on social media by former orthopaedic surgeon Shawn Baker, who wrote the book The Carnivore Diet. Jordan Peterson and his daughter Mikhaila Peterson were also vocal adherents of this diet.
Weight loss is one of the huge benefits that people who follow the carnivore diet claim they've experienced since adding more animal-based products to their diet. This is likely because the eating pattern also cuts down on carbs, says Dr.
On social media, the carnivore diet is rapidly growing in popularity: there are more than 111,000 videos with the #carnivore hashtag on TikTok alone, over the past year, searches for the term have increased by 79 percent, peaking at almost 200,000 searches between Dec. 2023 and Jan. 2024, according to Google data.
He tried it for a month and said he lost weight. But he also complained of diarrhea and said he had trouble lifting weights. According to a more recent podcast, he's not just a carnivore and also enjoys eating fruit.
It's said to aid weight loss and several health issues, but no reliable research backs these claims. What's more, it's high in fat and sodium, contains no fiber or beneficial plant compounds, and is difficult to maintain long term. Overall, the carnivore diet is unnecessarily restrictive.
Enter the carnivore diet: a meat-lover's meal plan that embraces all and only animal products. Unlike other high-protein, low-carb diets, zero carbs are allowed. Dietitians and medical experts say the fad is restrictive and dangerous – but supporters are relentless in their enthusiasm toward the approach.
A major benefit of the Viking diet was the fact that every level of society, from kings to common sailors, ate meat every day. Often this would have been pork, as hogs were easy to raise and quick to mature, but Vikings also ate beef, mutton and goats.
It may sometimes cause constipation. The diet is contrary to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans , which emphasize the importance of fiber for good health. Some may worry about becoming constipated due to this diet's lack of fiber.
Joe Rogan's daily intake, while on the Carnivore Diet, primarily consisted of meat. He often mentioned consuming elk, bison, and other game meats, along with more traditional meats like beef. Organ meats, particularly liver, were also a part of his diet.
Because the average American diet relies so heavily on carbohydrates, many of us battle blood sugar spikes and energy fallout on a daily basis. With the carnivore diet essentially eliminating sugar intake, blood sugar levels tend to even out. This helps to stabilize energy throughout the day.
Nausea and flu, are some of the temporary side effects you'll likely experience, but they generally go away after 2-4 weeks. Other symptoms to expect during the adaption phase include brain fog, irritability, cravings, decreased focus, and headaches.
The carnivore diet can be risky, especially for people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a history of heart disease. The lack of fiber can also cause constipation and poor gut health. Consult a healthcare provider, such as a registered dietitian, before starting a carnivore diet.
The carnivore diet is a new fad diet that consists of only eating animal meat and products. Whilst there is not an official definition of the diet, it has been touted as eating “anything that walked, swam, or flew”.
The Carnivore diet is also known as a zero-carb, all-meat, or lion diet, as it relies on meat and cuts carbohydrates, except for occasional amounts of carbs found in some animal products like dairy. Many people follow the Carnivore diet to lose weight, improve digestion and general health, and reduce inflammation.
Since then, he has continuously cycled on and off a pure carnivore diet. Inspired by his carnivore-loving guests on the podcast, he has shared his experiences with millions of social media followers.
Inflammation and insulin resistance: Meat-heavy diets induce systemic inflammation and insulin resistance, critical in Alzheimer's pathology. Saturated fats in meat disrupt insulin function and promote inflammation, which is linked to brain aging.
