From Producer Vinny Lingham, animal. unmasks a century-long conspiracy of political, economic, and religious forces that have twisted our natural bond with meat—enslaving us to ill health and Big Pharma dependency. Through bold interviews, historical revelations, and groundbreaking science, it shatters nutritional myths and dares us to reclaim the ancestral diet that fueled our evolution.
What is the Carnivore Diet?
The Carnivore Diet emphasizes eating exclusively animal products, including meats (beef, lamb, pork, poultry), seafood, eggs, and select dairy products. Rooted in ancestral eating patterns, the diet is grounded in the belief that meat provides the most bioavailable and nutrient-dense food source for human health. Advocates experience improvements such as reduced inflammation, enhanced mental clarity, significant weight loss, and relief from chronic conditions.
Scientific insights suggest the human body thrives on fat and protein derived from animal products, naturally producing the necessary glucose through gluconeogenesis without the need for external carbohydrate sources. It's crucial to understand that adding carbohydrates—particularly beyond 20 grams per day—can negatively affect outcomes, leading to unwanted fat gain, especially without adequate exercise.
Embracing a carnivore lifestyle means consuming foods that align closely with human evolutionary biology, promoting overall health, vitality, and longevity.
