 Question is from Just Another Mike. What are your thoughts on the carnivore diet and how long should you run it? I think if you- You're not just another Mike. If you like ice cream and cake and popcorn and tortilla chips, it's a fucking terrible diet. What? I mean, if you like any of those things or want any of those things- Or fruits and vegetables and nuts and anything else. That's not me. I mean, I think it's terrible. Pretty limiting, yeah. You know, now do I think the science to support the health benefits of all of it? Like, yeah, there's a select group of people that are gonna do really, really well. Actually, there's probably a big majority of people if they switched from the American diet and they went to carnivore, they'd see all kinds of health markers improve. And if you're a carnivore advocate that's going around talking about how great it all is, these are the things you're sharing. You're talking about what happens when you take somebody who is on all these foods and then you put them on all these markers. Oh, yeah, autoimmune issue, you have like SIBO, you have all these different underlying issues and you're limiting it down to one nutrient source that's pretty manageable. Right, so it's incredible for that. Yeah, it seems, yeah. I mean, I remember when I was on the ketogenic diet and I fucking wanted to shoot myself. Yeah. I mean, I can only eat so many macadamia nuts and olive oil and butter and- Yeah, it's like, ghee, you're like, what am I supposed to do? You know, it's a lot of fun at first, just like I think if I were to do the carnivore diet, steak four times a day. Oh, I love steak. I love burgers too. Yeah, I love rib eye diet too. That much? Yeah, but at one point, you know, I want a little bounce. So, you know, that's how I feel about these. And here's the thing too. This is not just for this diet. It's for all diets. Yeah, exactly. Exactly, exactly. And people need to understand that like this whole, the whole diet world is just, it's designed to divide and conquer all of you. That are, you know, it's like- Wow, yeah. Like- I don't understand why they're so adamant about like, having everybody conform to one specific thing. It doesn't work like that. Well, the carnivore diet has all the makings of a successful marketing-wise and fad-wise type of diet. It's got all the wonderful ingredients. Because it's extreme. It's, it eliminates the one food everybody told you was super healthy or the two foods, right? Fruits and vegetables, huh? You got my attention now. I always hated vegetables. This sounds interesting. It's low calorie. All diets that make you lose weight are low calorie. I don't care what kind of diet you follow and why is carnivore low diet? You've just eliminated almost all food. And eating only one thing, you're probably not gonna eat that much. I don't care what that one thing- It's gonna be really hard to get calories. That's 100% like what I experienced like going through it too. Yes. And it's the thing is like, you just get like full, you get satiated. So you get like all of that going for you. But it's at the end of the day, like man, it was a real big challenge to just meet my caloric needs. It's also basic and simple. And if for a diet to become successful marketing wise, it has to be clear and simple. Don't eat carbs, don't eat fat, don't eat vegetables, don't eat meat, whatever. It's people like that. It's very catchy. Like, oh, I can do that. I can just eat meat or just eat, you know, no carbs or whatever. So it's got all the makings of something that could be successful marketing wise. Now, in terms of is it a good diet for people? So there's two things I wanna say about that. One, there is no perfect diet for everybody, none. I don't care who you are. First off, there are gonna be some people that are gonna do well on a carnivore diet. My guess is the vast majority of them have lots of immune reactions to other foods. They have lots of food intolerances and carnivore diets, the ultimate elimination diet where you eliminate most foods that people might have reactions to. So that's the big thing about this particular diet is that some people have a lot of food intolerances. They eliminate that. You know, like Michaela Peterson, great example. She had some legit immune issues and eliminating all those foods made her feel really good. And for her, I have no doubt that this is the best diet, but for most people it isn't. The second thing is this. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should because I think there's a lot of people that are like, wow, I only ate meat for a month and I didn't die. And they think, oh, that means it's a good thing. No, not necessarily. I mean, you could eat the typical American diet for, you know, 60 years and not die either. That doesn't mean it's ideal as well. It's very extreme. There's lots of value to consuming a variety of foods, vegetables and fruits and nuts and even grains have their own values. And some of the values that I think are important that when you eliminate them in a diet like this is the ones that we talk about that aren't just nutritional value. It's not always just about that. Sometime like, you know, try being the guy who test a toad around, you know, a tritip everywhere you go and you're at a birthday party or you're at a, you know, a dinner party or you're going over for somebody's having wine and cheese event. And now you're a social leopard. Right. So, and if those things are important and you like to do that stuff, I think that eliminating that it becomes really challenging. And so personally, and we've done it, I've, aesthetically, I've been able to keep myself in good shape, running all types of different diets. Now, I haven't done a pure carnivore although I ran keto, which is close. It's just even less stuff, right? And it kept myself in great shape. So if it's just about getting shape, you could do anything. You could do vegan, you could do keto, you could do zone, you could do, they all work and have success with people in there. And you have a lot of people who are navigating the diet world and they're, they want to lose weight or whatever. And it's like, oh my gosh, everything's so complicated. What do I do? Do I count macros? Do I count calories? Yeah, this is the least complicated out of all of it. Yeah, it's like, hey dude, just eat me. You'll lose weight. If you just eat me. And it was like, I can do that. I could totally do that. I think that's where the appeal of it is though, to be honest, like even for myself. But you know, like, I know there's like a short window to it. And like, again, looking at it from an elimination perspective, I think like there's some value to that. But other than that, the other value is that there's a counter to veganism. So I just, I appreciate that from an entertainment value. That's really the only thing I can think of. It's so funny because they're in the same, without realizing it, they're on the same. They're like at war. They're in the same camp though. They're in the same camp. They're so extreme. They're both extreme.
