In this regard, the ruminant stomach is one of the most sophisticated machines devised by nature. One cow, with enough ambient sunlight and water can feed a human for an entire year.
This makes for delicious and nutrient dense food for humans. Something a human can't do anywhere near as efficiently. They convert cellulose (found in fiber), which we humans can’t digest into energy and store it in their muscles and organs. But unlike humans, they have evolved a superior digestive system which ferments their food and makes it easier to extract nutrients during digestion, using microbes. You and I might know them as cows, buffalo and bison. Ruminants are four legged mammals that get all of their nutrients from plant based foods. But if you want to hit the ground running on a carnivorous diet meal plan, your diet needs to start with ruminants.

Obviously heavily processed meats like bacon, sausage, pepperoni and pastrami are out (they’re chock full of additives, nitrates, nitrites and even sugars in some cases). But let’s not forget that all meats are not created equal. The Carnivore Diet Plan is a completely zero-carb meal plan which means that you’ll be living solely on animal foods. READ MORE: LOSING WEIGHT ON THE CARNIVORE DIET But the good news for vegiphobes is that our bovine friends process the vitamins and minerals in plants (as well as producing a few of their own) so we don’t have to. They keep the machines that are our bodies running. Vitamins and minerals are essential in helping our body to carry out the millions of functions every day that keep us alive. Any nutrition they do have is usually locked away in the fiber. Not only are they mostly energy, but they're devoid of most nutrition. The human body can live a happy, healthy life without ever consuming carbohydrates. There is currently no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. You just need to get out of the antiquated mode of thought that says the fat you eat is the fat you wear. It may seem paradoxical, but fats are essential in losing body fat.
They also help to keep our hormones balanced which is why they’re so important in losing excess body fat. They’re not only a readily available energy source, they support new cell growth and help our body to absorb nutrients. But the truth is that fats are our friends. The proliferation of low fat processed foods on the supermarket shelves likely haven’t helped matters.
Most of us have been taught from a young age to fear fats. It’s safe to say that protein is an essential part of our diets, and meat has it in spades. Proteins are made up of different amino acids are are essential in the building and repair of muscle tissues as well as our skin, hair and nail cells and pretty much everything else within our bodies. Proteins are the building blocks of all sentient life on Earth. Think about what your body needs, and you’ll realize that certain foods are essential, and some are not only essential but could be harmful. How did they survive when there was no such thing as agriculture? There were no grains, vegetables were practically inedible and fruits were scarce. But this well meaning advice fails to take into account the diet of our ancestors.
