As the name of the diet says it, it’s very simple what it means: meat, fish and other animal products. People on the carnivore diet tend to mostly eat steak, burgers, fish and other meat cuts but also products like tallow, cheese and eggs. Brazilian steakhouses tend to fear customers with this diet as they usually take full advantage of the unlimited meat service.

The carnivore diet often leads to a state of ketosis in the body, which makes it a form of the ketogenic diet and is also very similar to the paleo diet minus the nuts and other whole foods. [1]

The carnivore diet has many health benefits including weight loss, better focus, lowering risk to diabetes and much more. It’s a very effective and simple way of clean eating and still getting all your essential nutrients. Often people on the carnivore diet have long periods of fasting which makes it a very time efficient diet. It’s recommended to eat the best quality of meats and fish like grass-fed beef and wild caught fish.[2]  Companies like Papa Earth, Farm Club Meats and TruLocal would be excellent places to source your meat from in Canada when you’re on the carnivore diet.
