Long before carnivore became a “trend,” the data was already there.
As Anthony Chaffee points out- when someone says “there’s no evidence,” what they usually mean is “I haven’t looked.” A carnivore diet is not some random internet protocol. It’s an animal-based ketogenic diet. And ketogenic diets are among the most rigorously studied nutritional interventions on the planet — in both human and animal models. We’re not just talking comparisons against the Standard American Diet. We’re talking head-to-head against: – Mediterranean – DASH – Whole food plant-based – Low-fat high-carb – Even fasting protocols Across metabolic health, insulin resistance, neurological conditions, obesity, inflammation markers, and more… high-fat, meat-based ketogenic models consistently perform at the top. That doesn’t mean it’s magic. It means physiology matters. When you remove processed food… When you stabilize blood glucose… When you run on ketones instead of constant sugar swings… Energy stabilizes. Inflammation drops. Mental clarity improves. Hormonal environments shift. Debate is loud. Data is quiet. But the data is there.
