The last time you whipped up a steak dinner, it was so damn good that you wanted to eat it every day of the week. Well, with the carnivore diet, you can do exactly that. Here’s what you need to know about this bonkers eating craze.
What is it? The carnivore diet consists of eating only animal foods (including eggs and some dairy, although the latter is limited). And um, that’s about it.
Wait, so not even a handful of leafy greens? Nope. Just meat, seafood, eggs and a little bit of butter (grass-fed, natch) and cheese. You can also consume some zero-calorie foods like coffee and spices.
People aren’t actually doing this, are they? Apparently, yes. It’s said to be popular with the cryptocurrency crew (dubbed “bitcoin carnivores”), and the diet’s most famous follower, Dr. Shawn Baker, has a cult following on social media, where he proudly shows off his four-pounds-of-steak-per-day habit. So, there’s that.
