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!
One of the things that appealed to me about the macrobiotic diet was that you always ate things that would be in season naturally— like no fruits in winter—but i’m wondering now, if someone did a modified macrobiotic with meat but went 100% carnivore during the winter, how that would be .
I dont know but your comment made me think of the kentucky prophet.
Edgar Cayce-a psychic counselor and healer. Accepted nationally, he was one of the best known in this field. A humble and religious man, Cayce never profited from his predictions.
This guy would go into a sleep like state where he would diagnose people's health conditions while being tapped into whatever it was he claimed he was tapped into.
Alot of the times he would tell these people, go eat lemons, or eat a turnip. Random shit like this but supposedly he had a 100% cure rate.
Yeah, I'll probably last 2 days before I'm craving a burger and fries anyway. I will say, though, simplifying my diet over the past 18 months has made me feel so much better, so I might find that trying this does work well. If I do it, I'll make a post about it.

Eggs have probably the best nutrient profile on the planet.
But supplement per your own individual needs. Pretty standard caveat there
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.
