"Jordan Peterson continues to follow a carnivore diet, specifically a restricted version focusing on beef, salt, and water. He and his daughter, Mikhaila, have both spoken publicly about their experiences with this diet, citing improvements in various health issues like autoimmune conditions, depression, and sleep problems.
More Details:
- Peterson and his daughter follow a strict carnivore diet called the "lion diet," which limits their food intake to only beef, salt, and water.
- They believe this diet, which eliminates all other foods, can help with autoimmune conditions, mental health issues, and other health problems.
- Peterson has reported experiencing positive impacts, such as reduced inflammation, improved gum health, and increased strength, since adopting the diet.
- The diet has faced criticism and concern from some experts, who point to potential health risks like nutrient deficiencies and the difficulty of maintaining such a restrictive diet long-term.
- While Peterson and his daughter have shared their experiences, they have also emphasized that they don't recommend this diet for everyone. "
When it comes to poor health, we could blame diet, excess weight, or a combination of the two. People gain weight because they consume more calories than they burn. Eating too many carbohydrates can contribute to this, but that doesn't mean we should eliminate them entirely.
I've also seen a number of videos claiming that humans are carnivores. That's simply not accurate. Only a few species are obligate carnivores that can survive on meat alone. Humans are omnivores; we have teeth and digestive systems adapted to a varied diet.
