Lose Weight, Reverse Diabetes, & Reduce Joint Pain, Gut Issues, and Mental Health Conditions With This One Diet | Dr. Shawn Baker

405: What actually happens when you cut carbs and eat only meat? Today I’m joined by Dr. Shawn Baker to break down the carnivore diet and why so many people swear by it. We talk about whether carbs are truly essential, constipation and digestion, inflammation, mental health, how to transition into carnivore, and whether you really need to eat protein right after a workout. Shawn also shares what his diet looks like nearly 10 years into eating carnivore and whether he still considers himself strictly carnivore. Topics Discussed: → Is there such a thing as “essential carbs”? → Benefits of the carnivore diet → Misconceptions about the carnivore diet → Constipation on the carnivore diet → Mental health → Inflammatory foods → Why someone would want to go carnivore → How to start out with the carnivore diet → How to consume meat if you have digestive issues → Common mistakes on the carnivore diet → Is there an optimum time to consume protein after a workout or is that all a myth?
