The Carnivore Diet on TikTok is WILD 💀

I wanted to take an opened minded look at the carnivore diet, but TikTok didn't make it easy.

For months, I've gotten comments about the "carnivore diet". Could it really be true that vegetables are bad for us and a meat-only diet is the only true way to eat? Could the carnivore diet really be the optimal way to eat for human health?

Considering what we know about nutrition science and the food industry, I really was open to the idea of eating the "carnivore" way. There are some crazy stories about the success of the carnivore diet really helping people improve their health, such as Mikhaila Peterson and others suffering from auto-immune disorders and/or severe food allergies. Mikahila says she was having adverse reactions to lettuce, to give you an idea.

Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse when you go to TikTok. TikTok Carnivores really make it hard to take the carnivore diet seriously. What's with all the butter? What's with all the testicles? Why so much hate towards vegetables? In this video, we'll have a fun discussion about some very interesting carnivore characters, go into some of the controversies, talk about identity and more!

"Do you think your ancestors got excited about eating pond scum??"
I think my ancestors probably got excited about any food that wouldn't kill them.

"Plants are actually drugs" imagine showing up to a party with a bag of baby carrots

My favorite part was when the “Meat Doc” said FUPA when he meant “Faux pas”. Gave me a hard giggle 😆

Paul Saladino's default demeanor and personality is like he's perpetually in a state of having just done 12 lines of coke and then had the greatest idea ever.

[darkwindfish]

Saladino is the perfect surname for someone who thinks all vegetables are poison. It's like a vegan having the surname 'Bacon'

Our ancestors weren't healthy by just eating meat, they were healthy by hunting for meat/fish, harvesting fruits and nuts and being physical i.e.

It makes me so sad to watch them throw vegetables in the garbage like that and be so unappreciative. I just got back from an internship in a really remote area and it was terrible. We were surrounded by crops but none of them were for eating, they were all for making biodiesel and ethanol. So I would go to the store and there was NOTHING fresh. All the veggies and fruits looked terrible. Once I got home, I started eating huge salads every day and got really bad diarrhea because I hadn't digested cruciferous vegetables in over two months. I really think they would feel differently if they were in a situation where they literally only had meat and ultraprocessed food available and got really sick as a result.

Dr. Kiltz sounded like he was on... vegetables while filming that short 😂

[ziljin]

best part was that Liver King omitted all the performance enhancing drugs he was taking. and that all the ancestral tenants he was promoting was a bunch of hyprocrisy

"We came out of the trees, plants are drugs."

"Don't do school, stay in drugs"

I find it funny that that guy said fruit wants to be eaten, yet has a pineapple next to him. Pineapple has an enzyme that eats away at the protective coating of your tongue. The pineapple actually wants to eat you!

Dr Klitz is right I am African, in a tree, and my black self can't get off the kale train. My community is plagued by vegetable addiction. People run away from home (in the trees) to live in the kale trap house. The police are in on it too: taking bean bribes under the table. It's like a corn currency.

Big secret... Doctors are not trained in nutrition, that is why we have dietitians and degrees nutritionists. I once had a doctor argue that potassium was ~only~ found in bananas, and he was dead serious. Most doctors (almost all) are not at all who you should get nutrition help from, instead go to those who are actually specialists in that field ❤️

‘Look at all of these recent diseases’ totally nothing to do with the rise of processed foods, pollution, plastics etc, it’s definitely the thing we’ve been eating since forever

[Whlv]

In a way I guess you could say that vegetables are drugs. When I was in high school my thyroid was running high and I was able to correct it by eat more cruciferous vegetables.

[BorlandC]

"Plants are drugs..."
"Dude! I'm totally tripping balls off those Brussels sprouts!"

[remiec]

You should do the vegan to carnivore pipeline sometime! It’s super interesting how many people go from one extreme to the other

[eldestkatt]

YAY!! New video!! You are always so informative and easy to understand, you make big difficult topics seem manageable and understandable and show us how to make actionable changes in a way that seems super close to home. I love your stuff, have a great day!!!

[badzimustyle]

I feel like nowadays i can't eat anything without hearing that it's poisonous from someone 😢😂
