The BBC just put the carnivore diet on trial. In a Clickbait Clinic segment with Stacey Dooley, and in a companion article by Dr. Alex George, the verdict was that a meat-only diet comes with long-term health risks and that he would not advise it because it raises "bad" cholesterol. The article calls the evidence unambiguous. The segment says an extreme meat-only diet can be bad for your heart. Tonight we walk through what they actually claimed. No real evidence it helps. Red meat and cancer. LDL and heart disease. Fiber and carbohydrates as essential. Mediterranean as the better option. Then we put those claims next to the Harvard carnivore survey, the difference between fresh meat and processed meat, and a randomized trial where keto beat Mediterranean on liver fat and prediabetes at the same weight loss.

Every week someone quits and says the same thing: “My body told me it needed carbs.” Then you ask what they were actually eating. Lean steak. Chicken breast. Egg whites. Fasting until noon. Fat trimmed off “for the physique.” Honey fixed it. Bread showed up in the dreams. That’s not proof carnivore is unsustainable. That’s rabbit starvation with a meal-prep lid on it. A full plate of lean protein and an empty fuel tank. Trapper manuals described it 200 years ago. Butter would have fixed it. The fat cap they threw away would have fixed it.

Psoriasis covered 90% of his body. He went lion diet — beef, salt, water. He says the itching stopped in a week and the skin followed. Tonight: that story, autoimmune wins on meat, and open chat. Join live on StreamYard. Not medical advice. WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHDXpJL_CV8

Carnivore is a Tool, Not a Lifelong Religion This week an MD-PhD ate more than 100 pounds of meat in 30 days on the strictest protocol there is — the Lion Diet: ruminant muscle, salt, and water. No dairy. No eggs. No fish. No coffee. No organs. Then he said the quiet part out loud: carnivore does not have to be a religion. It can be a therapeutic intervention. Some people need it for years. Some people need it for a chapter. That’s been the message on this show for a long time. Tonight we unpack Nick Norwitz’s Lion Diet experiment, what actually happened to his digestion, labs, omega-3s, and vitamin C, the IBD case series behind the “fiber heresy,” and why “forever beef-only” is the wrong hill to die on.

Keto Beat the Mediterranean Diet A new randomized trial from Washington University, published in Cell Metabolism (August 27, 2026), compared three diets in people with obesity, prediabetes, and fatty liver: • Ketogenic (4% carb / 73% fat / 23% protein) • Mediterranean (50% carb / 35% fat / 15% protein) • Very-low-fat plant-forward (70% carb / 15% fat / 15% protein) All food was provided. Weight loss was matched at about 10%. Muscle insulin sensitivity improved about 50% on every diet. The liver and blood sugar did not treat the diets as equal. Keto cut liver fat 67% vs 45% on the other two diets, improved liver insulin sensitivity two to three times more, dropped 24-hour glucose and insulin harder, and sent prediabetes into remission in about 50% of that group vs 29% Mediterranean and 7% low-fat.

Is chasing high ketone numbers actually necessary… or just another source of unnecessary stress? In this episode of Carnivore Talk, we dig into the obsession with staying in deep ketosis every single day. We’ll look at what ketones actually do, when they matter, and why many long-term carnivore and low-carb eaters feel better (and get better results) once they stop treating the ketone meter like a scoreboard.
