Unleashing the Human Within: "The Carnivore Code"

My Score: 8/10

Key Subject: Diet and Nutrition

TLDR: Not very accessible to those without a science background, but Paul does his best to explain everything in the easiest possible way. Just wish there was an easier way of extracting some of the key arguments. Well worth a read and having to hand when pushed into a debate.

The Carnivore Code by Paul Saladino

I mean AI wanted me to go with Unleashing the Lion within as a snappy blog titled but the truth is you are unlocking how humans are supposed to feel.

Imagine a world where bacon isn't guilty, steak is salvation, and your inner caveman does a victory dance every time you reach for a rib. That's the reality unlocked with the science backed book, "The Carnivore Code." This isn't just a diet book; it's a primal wake-up call, a carnivore manifesto that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about food and health.

Here's why "The Carnivore Code" deserves a read, over a plate of meat of course:

  • Paul exposes the flaws of conventional wisdom, dismantles the plant-based pedestal, and shines a light on the benefits of an all-meat diet backed by a treasure trove of research and real-life results.
  • The science in this book is tough going but well researched. It helps explain why: 
    • You can forget the never-ending hunger of calorie-restricted diets. 
    • Ditch the afternoon slump
    • Lose fat like never before
    • Much more

Sure, there might be a few naysayers out there, clinging to their kale and quinoa. But for those willing to shed their dietary dogma and embrace the primal truth, "The Carnivore Code" is a life-changing revelation. It's a book that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about food, health, and what it means to truly thrive.

P.S. If you're still hesitant, consider this: Even if you don't commit to full-blown carnivorism, the insights offered into satiety, energy optimization, and metabolic health are worth the price of admission alone. This book is a game-changer, regardless of where you fall on the dietary spectrum and would surely make some vegans think twice, assuming they would read it with an open mind.

The con here, the author as since added fruit and honey to his diet, he is extremely active and lives in the tropics, whilst it works for him I feel (as do most following this lifestyle) that most people would be better off without them, certainly for an initial elimination period.

Why Humans are Carnivore - Persistence / Subsistence Hunting

This one is not so much about complete carnivore but about why we should eat meat and why we should prioritise it. After all, if hundreds of thousands of years of evolution drove us to walk upright, sweat, shed fur for hair, springy legs and feet and a digestive system optimised to process fat. So humans were born / evolved to run but we did so in order to hunt animals to give us the fat we needed to thrive. Lets have a look at some of the literature, note that these were just a few of the many articles I came across and several of these are themselves reviews that reference many articles to support these hypothesis. At this point it is a fact that humans evolved the way they did because of / for their meat based diet. Evolution works on such grand timescales that we are essentially the same beings as we were 10,000 years ago and as such are still a species that is has been moulded through time to live and thrive off of meat. It is the drive to hunt that meat that has led to use be...

"The Great Cholesterol Con: The Truth About What Really Causes Heart Disease

My Score 8/10 Category : Debunking myths on nutrition "The Great Cholesterol Con: The Truth About What Really Causes Heart Disease and How to Avoid It" by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick challenges conventional wisdom regarding cholesterol and its alleged link to heart disease. The author presents an alternative perspective that questions the validity of the widely accepted cholesterol hypothesis. Dr. Kendrick delves into the history of the cholesterol theory, examining the research that has shaped our understanding of heart disease. He argues that the demonization of cholesterol as the primary culprit in cardiovascular issues oversimplifies a complex set of factors that contribute to heart health. It is well known that the Ancel Keys published selective data to start the world on a route towards high carb, low fat and things snowballed from there. One of the strengths of the book is its accessibility to the general reader. Dr. Kendrick avoids overly technical language, making it easie...

Primal Endurance

My Score - 9/10 Key Area's covered: Running by Feel, MAF, Strength, Barefoot Key Positives: Great blueprint for getting started. "Primal Endurance" is aimed to be a ground-breaking guide that revolutionizes the way we approach endurance training, offering a refreshing and effective alternative to conventional methods. This book was the original inspiration for changing my training methodology after a few years of constant injuries. Authored by Mark Sisson and Brad Kearns, the book presents a comprehensive blueprint for achieving peak performance while embracing the primal principles of ancestral health. As is my guiding principle, health leads to performance (it might just take a little longer!). Sisson and Kearns skilfully marry their expertise in endurance training with the ancestral wisdom of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. The result is a holistic approach that prioritizes intuitive training, emphasizing the importance of aerobic development through MAF training and me...
