Are you curious about the benefits of a carnivore diet, but feel discouraged by the negative perceptions surrounding meat consumption?
Alia, who learned this powerful way to fix one’s health from Ahmad, is now a big believer in the carnivore lifestyle. She found herself facing pushback from friends and family when she tried to share her success with them.
Carnivore diet benefits
Ep 1 – Fatty Meat: The Unrecognized Superfood
Read full details below, transcribed. Therefore the wording often appears as it is spoken by our hosts. Please, listen to podcast for full value.
Explore the Real Healthy Alternative in the Carnivore Diet
People are driven by preconditioned ideas about health and food.
There are many from several other countries who have based their entire lifestyles on large amounts of fatty meat based food for optimal health & healthy body weight.
People are driven by preconceived ideas, but when you ask them to give you evidence of the risk factors they perceive from eating meat, they can’t do it scientifically. This is what you must address before you believe that plants are healthy, because they are not.
People in many cultures know that the plant world is more harmful to consume than you know. Yes, children are being told in schools in the West that animals contribute to climate change, many adults even take that onboard without challenging it. It is simply not the case.
Many global regions have a 2 million year history confirming that foods from plants are far worse for our health and planet. There are also many studies proving it.
Ahmad says he had no clue how important food was to our good health.
As one of two children in the family, he remembers they could eat anything at any age without any consequences.
But he lost a dear friend to a metabolic disease. And when his friend passed away, Ahmad really took it hard. He wanted to understand now, as an adult, what happens to us as we age? Where is the risk?
He discovered with horror, the current state of affairs in the health of humans. Everyone knows that what we call the diseases of civilization, are exploding. It’s an exponential trend; like
- heart disease,
- diabetes,
- hypertension,
- even mental illness,
- many people are depressed.
- Autism cases are going through the roof.
And all of these are related to metabolic problems, like cancer. There’s a strong argument to be made that cancer is not a genetic anomaly. It’s a metabolic problem. And certain practices in our day to day lives could be a powerful prevention. Eating food from animals is at the top of the list.
Doctors and Carnivore Diet
Forgotten Hippocratic Oath?
And how did you make that correlation with the meat based diet leading to our best health and beating diseases? The Hippocratic oath states that food is your first medicine and all doctors are meant to take the Hippocratic oath in their practices.
Yet many are not even allowed to talk about food with their patients. So how is it that they can take the oath and yet not factor food into their treatment, for example?
Like a car, if we put the wrong fuel in our bodies… we have energy until we don’t. It can even go into auto immune problems meaning that suddenly for reasons we don’t know it attacks itself on certain grounds. This is happening a lot in adults today.
The pure genetic code is just the potential that is expressed.
When the body stops working properly.
But we know with epigenetics that the pure genetic code is just the potential that is expressed. So the second possibility is that the body is working perfectly and if it stops working perfectly then it means that it is poisoned in a way or lacks serious nutrition.
We must understand when we are unhealthy, and what role our meals play in this. So the first thing to do would be to make sure that we give ourselves all the means necessary in life, to operate correctly. To build our health with a good source of nutrient dense food. Such consumption of high nutrition can only come from animals.
And for doctors, they tend to be more in the way of pharmaceuticals and meds than food and lifestyle. Because it’s the way they are educated.
It’s a shame that doctors take the unnecessary approach which should be avoided. It’s how they’re programmed unfortunately, even children are being treated in this way, and their consumption of nutrient dense foods is critical.
Carnivore diet mental health
So what does that say about what we eat and the digestive tract issues it creates for us?
Ahmad’s father is a neuro psychiatrist and he confirmed to him that 100% of mentally ill patients have gastric problems. And how many times in the 50 years of his practise did he ask his patients what they ate? He looked blankly at Ahmad and said, never.
There is a strong link between digestion of foods and mental health. Yet those who are medically overseeing your case never put the basics into practice. Even in cases of other illnesses like heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, and more, the discussion may go as far as exercise to lose weight but that’s it.
The push from farmers and agricultural interests is not helping
Same type of agendas as the pharmaceutical industry.
Ahmad introduced Alia to the work of Dr. Anthony Chafee, and we really encourage people to follow him. He says the medical industry in general don’t make money off of people benefiting from the meat based diet. That is where the problem lies.
They genuinely just don’t want to bring any light to it so they’ll talk about how bad saturated fat is when it is actually healthy. They don’t want to necessarily inform people about the healthy benefits of eating meat.
Doctors who support carnivore diet
Hesitant to talk to their patients about it.
Ahmad worked with doctors who adopted personally eating fatty meat because they saw the results in their own health. However, they cannot talk about it to any of their patients, adults or children, because they would lose their medical license.
That’s just really sad.
One of the latest podcasts that both the hosts heard together is the one where Anthony Chaffee interviews Zsofia Clemens who runs a clinic in Hungary, that has helped people resolve very serious health conditions, just by fatty red meat alone. And she says, because this approach is simple, it’s very hard for people to believe that there’s no other foods or treatment required.
It’s a focused protocol, and there’s only one diet
That’s it, there’s no more than one diet to help everyone.
Alia believes that now, but she came from the mindset that everyone’s different, and therefore different people have different needs to attain a healthy life. She thought there were different ways to approach their problems.
Ahmad taught her otherwise. Indeed Zsofia Clemens has treated her patients on the same foods principal of fatty red meat only, and salt and water only.
We are all different for sure. But metabolically we are exactly the same. Unfortunately the medical industry has been driven by an economic interest.
Ahmad says that today the standard American diet is probably around 70 – 80% fruit, vegetables, and plant based. This idea was put out there forcefully to our children in schools and up, by the Agriculture industry in order to maximize the output of crop production.
Yet, in the Middle Ages, meat was the superior food and crops were a second choice default if meat became unavailable in hard times. And in the event of meat not being available, they saw health decline and more people becoming sick.
So I wouldn’t say that we shouldn’t eat plant based food. I would say that basing our whole foods and nutrition on them is not healthy.
Vegetables or any fruit, whole grains, nuts, etc, contain macronutrients, very little fat in general, and a lot of sugar and proteins that are not bioavailable. Plants also produce their own natural pesticides, and in general they are composed as anti-nutrients.
The purpose of vegetables, for example, was never to nourish or provide health components to humans. In fact all plants are chemically composed to hurt humans as a defence mechanism, this is undeniably researched. So anything plants based is scientifically an inferior food. It’s simply not healthy.
Not haram
The occasional fruit, vegetables, or anything from the plant world is not forbidden.
Again, it is not forbidden or haram to eat the occasional fruit or vegetables and anything from the plant world. However, these were never meant to be a main staple of any sort in our diets.
If anything, just an occasional consumption, nothing more. Alia pointed out: Sally Norton, another expert whose research on plant foods, has confirmed the dangers of oxalates in any type of fruit, vegetables, and all plant based foods which are very damaging to our health.
This is also a new area for me. I never understood this and when I did, I was actually floored by how much damage we’re causing to ourselves. Not to mention there’s a strong beauty aspect, these oxalates in plants, also make your skin sag. While meat based food gives you a boost in collagen and tightens your skin.
The saturated fats also contributes greatly from the perspective of healthy body weight and well being. Yes, it actually facilitates people to lose weight since it’s a healthy fat and not the toxic kind.
Surah 2, verse 61 in the Quran
It is clear in this aya that meat is the superior food.
There’s even research, that concludes that we biologically benefit from ruminant meats more than fresh fruit, vegetables etc. Now, as a Muslim, you’re kind of worried because you have this idea also from the Quran and some hadith that plants are praised.
So there came a rise in claims about the medicine of the prophet (pbuh); that there was a push on the idea to be almost a vegetarian.
So if you go back to the Quran itself, you find that Allah in his book addresses two kinds of nourishment for humans, meat and fruit. All the rest is not mentioned, or mentioned in a negative way (as food for consumption by humans).
Zsofia Clemens talk about how to really tackle a condition, a disease, and illness
You really must be strict. And allowances are discouraged.
Doctors who practice dietary interventions around the meat based diet, notice that as soon as some people reintroduced any kind of fruit, vegetables, & plants in general, including unsaturated fats, increased a health risk.
This would mean that we have to start again.
Especially when you are metabolically sick, or if you desperately want to get to optimal health, don’t make exceptions. Let’s say a 5% exception, or 2% exception can make you lose 50% of the benefits. While you do not need to obligate carnivore, the benefits of adhering to it is important to understand.
Carnivore diet cholesterol
Is cholesterol is a terrible thing?
They think, if they eat too much meat, they’re going to have to deal with cholesterol.
Another big concern we see from people is that cholesterol is a terrible thing. They think, if they eat too much meat, they’re going to have to deal with cholesterol. They have a similar attitude with salt. Their doctors have warned them. Yet we know that cholesterol has been blamed for all the havoc that was actually created by sugar. We now know that professors at Harvard Medical School have been paid by the sugar industry to point the blame on cholesterol. High cholesterol is not bad for you, in fact you need it. Your health functions optimally with it. But they invented the problem of high cholesterol to keep themselves rich with selling drugs like statins. We have to be vigilant about these things, everything is not as it seems.
For the past 100 years, problems like heart attack, hypertension, diabetes, etc were caused by sugar.
But the blame has been put on saturated fat.
Meat fats and cholesterol are good for you. They’re not dangerous, in fact there’s a strong association with having low cholesterol and mental disease and other unwanted conditions. So it’s the opposite Of what they tell you.
People are also coming up with loads of autoimmune disorders lately.
Ahmad’s seen some pretty advanced cases of MS and other really worrying conditions that were resolved by fatty red meat, salt, water diet. He helped a friend who had Crohn’s disease, and friends with so many other issues.
As for taste, one adapts. And many people don’t go back, even for variety. Alia just didn’t really enjoy going back to most things she thought she loved, “it really didn’t appeal to me anymore. I just lost interest, never thought I would say that!”
Ahmad doesn’t think the masses will warm to this knowledge easily.
It’s easier to follow what you call your leaders, so they can tell you what to do. Yet their narrative is, on the contrary, trying to eliminate what is healthy.
Carnivore diet while pregnant
Why is it so important?
Alia’s friend told her that she was inspired by Alia’s experience of eating fatty meat for 6 weeks. But she said she was trying to get pregnant and she thought she’d have to stop.
“This is when I see they just don’t get it. Because if it’s good for you, it’s good for you at all times, even in pregnancy!” In fact Dr. Chaffee was talking about his friend who had two pregnancies. He said the children are doing amazing. Their health is really off the charts. And the friend tried to tell her OBGYN, but just not too interested in the meat diet discovery.
She believes it’s a must and recommends women to eat fatty beef, salt and water and pretty much animal based food in pregnancy.
- What is the concern?
- Isn’t it an optimal diet for humans?
Of course, and you are giving the maximum chance to allow your child to express its maximum genetic potential and ideal weight. Eating fatty meat before, during, and after the pregnancy is actually good for the baby.
Nature has given us the answers.
When the mother feeds breast milk, it’s a pure animal product. There’s no plant in there. In fact, when you present to a 3 year old child, or any age child for that matter, a piece of plant like a broccoli and a piece of raw meat and see the reaction of the child; of course you will see that the child will immediately jump on the meat. There’s a reason why we all rejected that broccoli when we were kids.
Wrap Up
What you must know is there’s absolutely no money in the benefits of this way of eating, hence no studies. But we don’t need the funded studies, we have been doing this for the past 2 million years.
The benefits are historical. Also, the agriculture of today is so new. These aren’t the plants of the previous generation.
Even when they quote the resources from our Prophet (pbuh).
They say that “oh he used to eat this and that plant”; but whether he was eating a cucumber or any other plant, we have to first see if the Hadith is authentic.
Then be sure it wasn’t the same cucumber as what we have today. And also we must see whether it was grown in that region given the climate and the desert conditions, which would make most plants impossible to grow.
Zsofia Clements says she is not able to publish anything on her findings on the benefits of eating red meat. It is very frustrating for her. Because it becomes a vicious cycle, she says. People ask her for studies and research about the carnivore diet that’s published, and she is not able to provide it. In fact, Dr. Chaffee pointed out a lot of corruption occurs in the medical research field, including in some of the most reputable medical journals.

FAQ about healthy eating and carnivore diet
The carnivore diet consists of a regimen that includes red meat, poultry, fish, and eggs. All plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds are excluded. Dairy products are sometimes permitted.
What are the Advantages of the Carnivore Diet?
Studies have indicated that following a carnivore diet can result in several health benefits, including: • Lower blood sugar levels
• Reduced gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating and gas
• Decreased inflammation levels
• Improved cognitive function
• Weight loss
• Alleviation of chronic disease symptoms, particularly in individuals with autoimmune conditions.
What is carnivore food and a Sample Meal Plan for the Carnivore Diet?
Here is a 7-day meal plan for a carnivore diet:
• Breakfast: Steak and eggs
• Lunch: ideally red meat like a burger, but once in a while Salmon or fish
• Snack: Cheese or Yogurt
• Dinner: Lamb
Use salt to taste where necessary. Choose to drink mainly water or sparkling water (be sure it is pure and with no preservatives). There are many pure carnivore recipes that will give you great ideas to keep it interesting.
Is Coffee Permitted on the Carnivore Diet?
No, coffee is not considered a suitable food item on the carnivore diet. This is because coffee is derived from coffee beans, which are the seeds of a fruit. And seeds are anti nutrients, not good for the health. Therefore, coffee is essentially a fruit seed extract, which goes against the principles of a diet consisting solely of meat and animal products.
What Occurs During the First Week of the Carnivore Diet?
During the first week of following the carnivore diet, it is not uncommon to experience fluctuations in appetite levels. Some days, you may not feel hungry at all, while other days you may experience intense hunger cravings. It is essential to ensure that you have access to ample amounts of carnivore-friendly foods to accommodate these changes.
Is Rice Allowed on the Carnivore Diet?
No, rice is not permitted on the carnivore diet. The carnivore diet prohibits the consumption of all whole grains, including brown rice, wholemeal bread, pasta, and oats. Lentils also not a carnivore item.
How Does One Begin a Carnivore Diet?
In essence, the carnivore diet is based on consuming animal-based products, with no plant-based foods. Animal-based food items include fatty cuts of meat, such as ribeye steak, grass-fed ground beef, eggs, seafood, and animal-based fats, such as butter, tallow, and whole cream. Some individuals may also include dairy products in their diet.
Can the Carnivore Diet Help Heal the Gut?
The carnivore diet provides a double benefit for gut health. It replenishes the gut with the healing benefits of bone broth, while eliminating the consumption of challenging-to-digest plant-based foods, such as legumes, grains, and nuts and seeds. In this way, the carnivore diet enables an individual to still receive essential nutrients while providing the gut a break from excessive strain.
Carnivore diet mental health
