5. Is the carnivore diet actually healthy?

Absolutely. Forget the scare tactics—science backs the benefits of an animal-based diet: improved mental clarity, fat loss, and overall longevity. If you’re fed up with carb crashes, this diet could be a life-changer. Plus, it’s what mankind has been eating for hundreds of thousands of years. Check out my Carnivore Chronicles for more.

6. Will the carnivore diet raise my cholesterol?

Short answer: Maybe, but it’s not a bad thing. Your LDL might go up, but what really matters is the HDL/LDL ratio and your inflammation levels—which usually plummet on carnivore. Cholesterol isn’t the villain here; processed junk and seed oils are. Get the full scoop here.

7. What about heart disease and red meat?
Nah, red meat got unfairly blamed. The real issue is inflammation from processed foods and sugar, not your steak. Meat, fat, and fish? That’s your body’s fuel. More details here.

8. Will I go into ketosis on the carnivore diet?
Maybe. Some do, some don’t. Either way, you’re still gonna get leaner, stronger, and feel like a machine. Read more here.

9. What if I get the ‘keto flu’?
Yeah, the keto flu sucks—low energy, headaches, crankiness. Just power through, stay hydrated, up the salt, and you’ll come out the other side feeling like a beast. Check out the full story here.

10. Does red meat really cause cancer?

Nope! The studies that linked red meat to cancer are full of flaws, poor data, and weak correlations. Real science doesn’t support the idea that meat is the villain. Want to know more. Read it all here.

11. What’s wrong with those studies on red meat and cancer?
Most of them rely on self-reported food surveys (hello, unreliable!) and don’t account for lifestyle factors. Basically, they don’t hold up to scrutiny. Read more about the flaws of those studies here.

12. Are cows really bad for the environment?
Nope, cows aren’t the bad guys here. It’s industrial pollution from fossil fuels that’s the real problem. Well-managed cattle farming can actually boost soil health and help with carbon sequestration. The processed food industry? Yeah, they’re doing most of the damage. Read more here.

13. Is plant-based farming more sustainable than raising cattle?
Not even close. Monocropping kills soil and needs loads of pesticides. Regenerative grazing with cattle? It restores land and makes farming sustainable. Cows might just be the heroes. Read more here.

17. Can I eat out while following the carnivore diet?
Absolutely! Steak, bunless burgers, and eggs are all on the table. Most places have carnivore-friendly options—just stick to the meat and fats, and you’re good to go. Oh, and make sure you ask the staff to fry your food in butter.

18. What’s wrong with plants? Aren’t they good for us?
Plants aren’t as innocent as they seem. They’ve got natural toxins like lectins and oxalates that can mess with digestion. Think twice before piling on that spinach! More here.

19. Why use tallow instead of other cooking fats?
Tallow is packed with nutrients, handles high heat like a champ, and even doubles as a skincare hack. Plus, it beats processed seed oils any day. Learn more here.

19. Why are cast iron pans so great?
Cast iron pans are built to last, get better with age, and won’t leak chemicals like Teflon. If you’re serious about cooking carnivore, cast iron’s the way to go. Read more here.
