The Carnivore Diet

Shawn Baker challenges modern nutritional guidelines by proposing that humans thrive exclusively on animal products. He argues that plant-based compounds, including fiber and phytonutrients, are often unnecessary or even detrimental to metabolic health. The text outlines a strict regimen of meat, salt, and water, explaining how this elimination strategy addresses autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance. Baker provides specific protocols for transitioning away from carbohydrates, managing electrolyte balance, and using meat-heavy meals to stabilize blood sugar and improve athletic performance.
