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.

Being Given the all Clear

Barefoot Britain by Anna McNuff

I have recently finished this audiobook and it was a good listen. I won't go into my usual level of detail as I didn't learn much from this to share on a running coaching site. Was it a good listen? Yes, Was it about running? Mostly. Was there any coaching tips? Not really. Advice from it? Have a good time, listen to your body and preserver. 

January 2025 Progress

I am covering January a little early because we have just had the last parkrun of January so it is a good time to asses my progress against my time based goals, even if the progress goals could be better judged at the end of the month. parkrun times are all I have to go with regards to outcome goals and I have progressed my post illness PB from 17:35 to 17:21. I should also note that the 17:21 was run with the start as my 1k and then 1 mile PBs and just hanging on... yeah not great to do the first km in 16 minute flat pace according to Strava. There has also been much more consistency with my parkrun times, they are trending downwards with my times getting consistently quicker. I really feel I have a big PB in my legs and just need the competition, weather and pacing to be right.  The above times set me up nicely for my target Half Marathon and mean my predicted finish time, in comparable conditions, would be sub 80.... something for me to wrap my head around as my current PB (on a...
