The Carnivore Diet: Overview and Popularity

The podcast episode explores the concept of the carnivore diet, which involves consuming only animal foods and eliminating all plant foods from the diet. The popularity of this dietary approach has increased recently, and it is largely promoted by individuals like Paul Saladino. The diet gained traction due to its contrarian nature, challenging conventional dietary guidelines that emphasize the importance of plant-based foods. Saladino, a major advocate for the carnivore diet, wrote a book called "The Carnivore Code" and built a multimillion-dollar business around it. However, it is important to critically examine the claims and content associated with this diet.
