Carnivore Diet vs Animal Based: Which is Best for YOU?
About this video
Kane compares Dr. Anthony Chaffee’s carnivore approach with Dr. Paul Saladino’s animal-based approach, drawing on her own four years eating both. She defines carnivore as animal foods only, while animal-based keeps animal foods as the base but adds fruit, honey, dairy, coffee, seasonings, and some vegetables. Kane says both remove processed food, seed oils, added sugars, and refined grains and prioritise protein and animal fats. She recommends trying 30 days of strict carnivore as an elimination baseline, then reintroducing foods to spot triggers, noting her husband traced heart palpitations to oregano this way. She also recounts her two mistakes: undereating until she dropped to about 100 pounds with hair loss and low energy, and skipping electrolytes until severe eye twitching appeared around the eighteen-month mark. Her conclusion is that enjoyment and sustainability decide which suits an individual.
