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.
