Carnivore Diet: Can It Keep You Healthy? ( Dr. Robert Lustig)

In this video, Dr. Robert Lustig explains that people can live on just meat alone and be perfectly healthy.

There are societies and communities that have traditionally relied primarily on animal-based diets, often referred to as carnivorous or meat-based diets. These groups include some indigenous Arctic and sub-Arctic peoples like the Inuit, Chukchi, and Saami, as well as certain pastoralist communities like the Maasai in East Africa. These diets are driven by the limited availability of plant foods in their harsh environments and a historical dependence on hunting and herding animals for sustenance.

While these societies primarily consume animal products, it's essential to note that their diets often include other components, such as organ meats, bone marrow, and even some gathered plant foods when available. In many cases, they use all parts of the animals to maximize their nutrient intake.

It's important to remember that these diets have developed over generations based on the unique circumstances of these communities and may not be suitable for individuals in other environments. Modern nutrition science emphasizes a balanced diet that includes a variety of food groups to ensure all essential nutrients are obtained.

Additionally, some people today choose to follow low-carb, high-protein diets like the ketogenic diet, which is focused on animal products, but this is typically not a long-term or exclusive diet. Balanced diets that incorporate a variety of food groups are generally recommended for most individuals to meet their nutritional needs.

Disclaimer:

Before making any significant changes to your diet, especially if you intend to follow an exclusive or primarily meat-based diet, it is strongly recommended that you consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a doctor or registered dietitian. This disclaimer is issued to emphasize the importance of seeking medical guidance and supervision when considering such dietary choices.
