Why am I doing Carnivore?

I have been overweight to obese most of my life. I have tried and failed at so many diets it’s too many to name. I started my Carnivore Journey on February 22, 2023. Since then, I have found sweet freedom from carb cravings! Incredible health and healing in my body. Reduction in eczema. Reduction in inflammation, and an overall sense of wellbeing. I hate to say never, but here I will say I'm never going back to my old way of eating!! Now I want the whole world to know and particularly the African American and POC community, that there is a better way! The Proper Human Diet.

The carnivore diet has been making waves in the world of health and wellness, and for good reason. Rooted in simplicity and focusing on nutrient-dense, animal-based foods, this way of eating offers numerous benefits for those looking to transform their health. Whether you're curious about the benefits or searching for a sustainable lifestyle change, here are five compelling reasons you should give the carnivore diet a try.

1. Enhanced Energy and Mental Clarity

When you fuel your body with nutrient-dense foods like meat, fish, and animal fats, you eliminate many of the blood sugar spikes and crashes caused by carbohydrates. This steady energy flow can help you feel more alert, focused, and productive throughout the day.

The carnivore diet also eliminates anti-nutrients like lectins and phytates found in plants, which can interfere with nutrient absorption. By focusing on bioavailable nutrients from animal-based sources, your brain gets the fuel it needs to function at its best.

2. Reduced Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is linked to a host of health problems, including arthritis, autoimmune conditions, and heart disease. Many plant-based foods, particularly grains and seed oils, can trigger inflammation in sensitive individuals.

By eliminating these foods and focusing on anti-inflammatory fats and proteins, the carnivore diet can help calm inflammation. Many people report reduced joint pain, clearer skin, and relief from autoimmune symptoms after transitioning to this way of eating.

3. Sustainable Weight Loss

Unlike traditional calorie-restricted diets, the carnivore diet prioritizes satiety. Protein and fat are incredibly filling, meaning you’re less likely to overeat.

Additionally, eliminating carbohydrates helps regulate insulin, the hormone responsible for fat storage. As a result, many people experience effortless weight loss without the need for calorie counting or portion control.

4. Simplified Eating and Meal Prep

One of the most appealing aspects of the carnivore diet is its simplicity. There’s no need for complicated recipes or long grocery lists. Meals often consist of just a few ingredients—think steak, salmon, or eggs.

For busy individuals or those who dislike cooking, the carnivore diet eliminates the guesswork. With fewer decisions to make, sticking to your dietary goals becomes much easier.

5. Improved Digestive Health

While it may seem counterintuitive, many people find relief from digestive issues like bloating, gas, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) on the carnivore diet. Removing fiber and plant toxins can be a game-changer for those with sensitive digestive systems.

Animal-based foods are easy to digest and provide all the essential nutrients your body needs, often in forms that are more bioavailable than their plant-based counterparts.

As a person who has been on a carnivore diet for going on two years now, I can attest to the benefits of this amazing way of eating. If you are looking to simplify your eating habits, lose weight, or improve your overall health, I highly recommend doing an experiment for a minimum of 30 days and preferably 90 days to see if the Carnivore Diet will work for you!
