Even n the 50's it was called the 'meat only diet' and some even called it the Stone Age diet'. "Carnivore" is just the newest name and this one markets incredibly well. I think Dr. Shawn Baker gets a lot of the credit for the name. He wrote a book and the name took off from there. But I am sure the diet has been used for years but with different names. Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Eric Berry and Dr. Chaffee offer some really good information on their You tube videos. The diet showed great successes with the Multiple Sclerosis community many years ago. It was called the "red meat and water diet" which would be a tough sell marketing wise.  Good luck as you move forward.  Scott  

We are the 'house divided' as well.  My wife is not onboard with the idea of going carnivore. She is seeing the effects/results I am having but simply won't give up vegetables.  What works for us is cooking slightly more meats than we would normally cook for dinner. She has her sides, I do the carnivore thing and then there is meat left for me to take to work the following day.  For the most part I eat once per day. Juggling the two of us on two or three meals a day would add to the degree of difficulty.  Thus far it has worked out well.  Scott

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, I appreciate it. Not all the way Carnivore yet, about 90%. My wife insists on making low carb veggies for dinner like green beans, broccoli and stuff like that. Not optimum, but not the worst either. From the time I get up until dinner I'm all Carnivore.

James H. Salisbury (1823–1905) was an American physician and chemist known for his advocacy of a meat-centered diet to promote health, and the term Salisbury steak for a ground beef patty served as the main course has been used in the United States since 1897.   Just ran across this and thought that I would post it. I find it interesting that eating a meat-based diet was thought of back in the 1800's. Lived a long life as well.

I might try the goat's milk. I never tried it myself but used a bunch of it with young puppies.  They like it. LOL  Scott
