Holy crap thanks for posting this, I think I'm gonna give it a try. A guy that I work with swears by it and he's been doing it for a long time. I don't know exactly what caused him to start, but it was some kind of health problem, but he basically just eats beef only, not even any other kind of meat. He sometimes has eggs, but other than that he only eats beef 100% of the time every meal. I feel like having eggs as the one alternate item is a mistake, since there are a number of inflammatory related problems with eggs, but either way that's a pretty damn clean diet, compared to me, I pretty much eat the equivalent of what you would put down your food disposal, everything.
I'm not convinced that just beef and eggs has enough variety of nutrients and vitamins and minerals for healthy diverse diet.
I think vegetables and fruit are very healthy and were meant for humans and animals to eat. I think that a variety of meat from different animals would be more beneficial than solely eating cows.
I agree that a balanced diet of all sorts of real food is probably the best way to go. That said, eggs and beef are the most nutrient dense foods we have available to us. You primarily eat vegetables for the fiber. Don’t get me wrong, vegetables have vitamins too and are of course high in fiber. Well maybe except for icebergs lettuce which has about as many nutrients as cardboard. But you could live “forever” eating nothing but beef and eggs. By comparison, eating broccoli and kale only will have you malnourished fast.
My main problem with a beef only diet is the cost. The only way to make it doable is to buy a whole cow from a local farm and freeze it. It’s ~$5.99/lb if you do it that way.
From my casual research, i.e. what people following these type of diets have told me against my will, the key is eating organ meat and from non-factory farm animals. If your eating animals that were eating grass and weren't pumped full of hormones you get everything you need with the inclusion of organ meat.
But I've done no real research or been on any diet similar before so if considering it I would for sure look into how you're getting all of your macronutrients as a long term deficit of any of them can cause problems.
I barely know who that is. Peterson's daughter talks about needing the organ meat. I also remember one dude on one of Bourdain's shows making the suggestion, clean animals and eating the organ meat too. I also feel like I read something about it like 10 years ago when I was reading all the fitness blogs before social media took over.
I see people who are compulsive about cleanliness and need sterilized fork and plate to eat. Then I see my farm animals just eat food off the ground and eat dirt to help their digestion. Then like someone else said, they rub this soap and shampoo on their body full of chemicals and they suffer hair loss and flaky dry skin and acne. Even the sun tan lotion increases your chance of skin cancer. The whole health industry is a scam.
The infamous Unit 731 and Unit 100 of the imperial Japanese army determined the best way to poison a nation’s food supply was through their meats/livestock. After reading about that —I haven’t bought meat (for myself) at the grocery store in 15 years!

And whatever hatches out of them, reptile/bird whatever, they usually eat the shell because of its nutrients, too!

Rockafella didnt just stop with gasoline. Everything in the HBA aisle is made with petrochemicals. There are only a few exceptions.
