Carnivore Diet : Popualar Diet Based Around All Meat

The carnivore diet is based around the idea that you only have to eat meat. People who follow this diet eat nothing besides read meat. Not even a little bit of cheese or eggs. It's a very strict diet and has gotten a bunch of attention because it's so dramatic and also seems to get results. But are those results good?

There are podcasts and articles online where the speakers will say that you can get all of your nutrients from red meat. They argue that plants are not what you should be eating. Some of these people are doctors, but most are regular people.

The premise is that the human body does not need to consume animal products aside from meat (specifically from cows). They view plants as detrimental to the body because of the anti-nutrients that you would find in many plants. The critics of this diet say that the things that are known as anti-nutrients are not actually bad for you.  While the plant might have chemicals that are designed to have prevent insects from eating them. There are actually loads of health benefits to eating plants. Here's a brief video of someone who is very pro carnivore where he discusses the impact of an all meat diet on heart health.

The problem with this diet is that it does not have a great deal of studies behind it. Most of what is being discussed at the current moment is based around anecdotal evidence. Another problem is that there is a lot of controversy around it. Many people find that the noise surrounding the issue is very troubling because all of the conversation is being dominated by people who are either vegans or vegetarians or very pro meat people. The science, therefore, can become cloudy with all of the personal insults that get exchanged.

It's a very controversial topic and has spawned a number of videos.  Proceed with caution.


This created a lot of debate:

Research Suggest Vegetarians Smell Sexier Then Meat Eaters

As if you needed yet another reason to stop eating meat, there is some research that suggests that people who eat a vegetarian diet actually smell sexier.

The study also looked at how eating a diet full in fruits and vegetables can make your skin look better. Good looking skin is a subconscious signal for men and women. The increased vegetables can help your skin. Men like women who look like they are ovulating, and women like men who look/smell like they have high levels of testosterone.

 Another interesting factor in the article is that they mention that women who were blind tested were asked to judge the "sexiness" of a mans scenet and they found that men who had not eaten meat for several days--it was two weeks in the study-- had a mnore positive reaction from the womenb.

The list of other celebs who have opted for vegetarian lifestyles include Adele, the pop singer Ariana Grande, and even Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage.

The variety of vegetarianism is cool because it shows the different body types. You have thin and trim, as well as well built muscular actors.

Veggie Burgers Getting More Popular

It used to be that veggie burgers were just for health fanatics and those who did not want to eat meat. Maybe they didn't want to kill animals, or maybe they had religious objections. The truth was that there was a very small percentage of people who didn't want to eat meat and an even smaller percentage of those people who wanted to eat veggie burgers.

The old veggie burgers, the ones that you found in California during the 1970s were not the best tasting. They were made with lentils or sprouts. But that changed. Over time people began to take more creative routes with their veggie burgers. Now you can find them in big chains that normally would only sell beef burgers.

Another move that shows that people who normally would scoff at veggie burgers are involved in creating really gourmet veggie burgers. Just recently the New York Times had a big piece on veggie burgers.

You have celeb chefs and other chefs who are in the kitchen at really nice restaurants and they are involved in making top quality veggie burgers. They might use mushrooms, lentils,quinoa, brown rice, or black beans. The choices of ingredients is endless, all it needs be is non-meat food.

Some Vegetarians Eat Meat When Drunk

A study came out and it said that up to a third of vegetarians eat meat when they are drunk.

The study was done in England. They asked close to 2000 volunteers who were vegetarians. The  most popular meat of choice was bacon, followed by fried chicken and then sausage.

This can be compared to people who breakdown and smoke when they are drunk. I'd say that those who eat meat when drunk are vegetarians who are likely following the diet for health reasons, and a bit of ethical reasons. If the resolve was strong enough I don't think that getting drunk would be enough to make them to eat meat. If someone doesn't think it is ethical to eat meat, getting drunk won't change that.
