I am of the view that our ancestors were primarily carnivorous.
My history: Was vegetarian for 4 years (was taught so on yoga classes). Vegetarian diet made me feel better (I ate unprocessed, home cooked traditional foods before that). Fast forward a couple of years -> I developed fat on my belly (although active), skin tags, lipoma and my skin was in general terrible. Hair loss that I suspect (will test shortly) because of Hashimoto (my hypothesis is: too much home-made bread from "good" whole grains). A person near to me developed rheumatoid arthritis on the same exact diet. This was on diet that many would call "healthy whole foods plant based" diet. Milk related foods like kefir and high quality cheese were also consumed. No fish. Thankfully at least ghee was used, instead of plant seed oils.
When I compare the former to my present carnivorous lifestyle, I can report the following (after 6 months of carnivore): 1. Skin got better 2. Belly fat reduced 3. Lean muscle gain 4. Sense of being 'full' with something that was missing one's whole life, but one wasn't aware of it missing. 5. Sense of calm, natural meditative state, mental resilience is up 6. Water tastes sweet 7. More space in joints 8. Easier to progress in yoga (at least in asanas)
The person near to me has no more pain in lower back and knee + all of the above.
For those interested in carnivore lifestyle and in how our nutritional guidelines came to be:

Hey Mykal,
I've moved over to an 'animal-based diet' as advocated by Paul Saladino. Wherever possible, I order grass-fed, grass-finished meat, including organ meats. (highly recommend liver as the liver is a powerhouse for vitamins and minerals). I order these from a family-run farm who focus on regenerative agriculture, and animal wellbeing during life. Also raw milk, organic free-range eggs, and fruit.
I can echo the increase in calm, steady energy, satiety, and physical vigor.

Hi Jack,
great to see you having good results.
For those suffering from mental problems (obviously this diet is not just good for avoiding overloads), here is a link that could be interesting:

Hi Mykal, I will share my personal experience considering meat. Last year I move to paleo lifestyle, where I used to eat only meat and vegetables. I gained a lot of physical condition through this, lost weight, increased my focus during my daily activities... BUT During my DM sessions, it was unable for me to feel this lightness I experienced back then, with omnivorous diet. I also observed that chicken does not have the tendancy to weighten me during DM in comparison to beef or pork. During my fasting days I use to eat meat right after fasting, which is clearly not a good decision: I felt extremely nervous with a lot of sh*tty auras behind my eyes. Then I tried to suppress meat and do the opposite, for a few months. My meditations sessions went back deeper,lighter, BUT I had your symptoms associated with vegetarianism in my daily life (fatigue, depression ...). It lasts 6 months, then all I wanted was to eat suddenly a LOT of meat...
It's very hard for me to find the right balance, and I think it resonnates with a lot of ppl. My conclusion is that meat should be consumed with moderation, like everything. Love, Niels |
