The Carnivore Code: Unlocking the Secrets to a Meat-Based Diet

Animal Foods vs. Plant Foods: A Healthier Choice?

Animal foods often come out on top for health benefits compared to plant foods. They tend to be richer in essential nutrients and lower in toxins, though this perspective can stir some debate.

Western Health Concerns

In the West, nearly 88% of people have some form of insulin resistance or metabolic issues, reflecting our overall poor health.

To truly understand our bodies and evolution, we need to look back at our history. For the past 5-6 million years, a diet focused on meat has been crucial for our pre-human and human ancestors.

Around 2 million years ago, a significant shift occurred when primates evolved from scavengers to hunters. This change allowed early humans' brains to grow, leading to modern human evolution.

By moving from scavenging to hunting, early humans gained access to nutrient-rich fat and muscle tissues, fueling brain development and establishing us as apex predators.

Humans are more suited to a diet rich in fats and proteins rather than grains, which were not a part of our ancestral diet. Our bodies function more efficiently on these macronutrients.

The Carnivore Code Hypothesis suggests that throughout evolution, our ancestors primarily relied on hunting, turning to plant foods only when necessary.

Eating animal foods was pivotal in our evolution, providing high-quality, nutrient-dense foods that were easier to digest and supported brain growth.

Our digestive systems—including our teeth, strong stomach acid, and long intestines—are tailored for a meat-based diet. Our anatomy, such as our shoulder joints and upright posture, also supports our evolutionary role as hunters.
