Ben and Jay Recommend:
- Humans can survive on a nose-to-tail carnivore diet, though there are pro-health nutrients in plants
- Eat to Beat Disease by William Li
- Carnivore diets are socially restrictive, as well as difficult to maintain
- If you have a compromised gut, thyroid issues, or if you don't have time to soak and sprout, then a pure, strict carnivore diet is a healing diet
- If you are healthy, or have healed your gut, it isn't necessary to avoid properly prepared grains and plants
