The Carnivore Code: Unlocking the Secrets to Optimal Health by Returning to Our Ancestral Diet

I am Keto/Ketovore and fully support those on a Carnivore lifestyle. I found Saladino’s argument for living Carnivore not substantiated enough for me. His position is that the chemical defenses evolved by plants are the cause of metabolic dysfunction. His argument should include the dangers of carbohydrates. Both arguments together make a powerful case. I found many statements to be less than convincing. When a weatherman says that it COULD rain tomorrow, I do not change my plans. If the weatherman says it WILL rain, I pay attention. When Saladino says that a plant could cause… or might cause… without a specific, documented probability, I find it lacking. (Is it 20% of people that have been shown to have a problem with… or is it 90%?) There are far too many instances using “could” or “might”. I am also suspicious when someone says “most people…” or “many people…”. Is it 8 out of 10 people? Is there data to support “most people”? It is mentioned that grilling meat can be detrimental. Does he realize grilling does not mean high temperature? I grill food at low temperatures, 200 to 220 degrees. He supports using other cooking methods. You know, those methods can be used to cook at high temperatures. Saladino also mentions having a bowel movement like clockwork is a carnivore advantage. I disagree. I have never been one of those as a carb-heavy eater or Keto person. I have read plenty of books that state support for this position. What’s important is the ease of having a bowel movement and the quality. As a disclaimer, I need to state that I listened to the audiobook and was not able to pull up any reference charts. I also do not know if there are studies referenced throughout the book. Saladino’s book is an interesting read from his perspective. For me, it is not the argument I would use to support living as a Carnivore.

A wealth of information - Dr.Saladino is thorough, discusses information intelligently and with enthusiasm. Excellent stuff 👍. (frustratingly, each chapter repeats - this is quite annoying having to open the app to then skip through to the next chapter. The book is great, but this needs fixing)

Very interesting preview to this audiobook.This is surely a subject to a matter in which I am increasingly interested in furthering my knowledge and awareness in.
