What's your take on Shawn Baker's Carnivore Diet?

www.dawn-caker.com

It’s interesting to read about his experience eating an “all meat” diet for the past year. He seems to be doing fine without “Carbs” …is he crazy?

I think the disgraced doctor (lost medical license due to incompetence- http://www.nmmb.state.nm.us/docs/board_actions/07-01-17%20thru%2009-30-17.pdf) is a modern day huckster. He has no data supporting his claims, no large clinical practice where he is evaluating the intervention, and no reliable lab data on even himself to suggest he is doing “fine.”

Additionally, I find neither his physique nor physical prowess impressive enough to make me overlook this stuff.

Hi Jordan,

Wow. Thanks for the background info on him and your reply. I’m struggling with IBS and I’m on a low FODMAP diet so I was considering just going all in on meat only. Now I’ll need to reconsider. Also, about to start your 12 week Strength template and I’m 46yrs old so I prob need some carbs. Going to read your Beast article tonight.

You guys need a section on some of the more “interesting” doctors on the Joe Rogan podcast (coughthey are all selling somethingcough). Or…Jordan and Austin can go on there and talk about barbells and how pot affects training.

Not a fan then :wink:

I would not consider going all meat in this case, but a low FODMAP diet may be beneficial.
