Summary

If you’re looking for a lifestyle change, the Carnivore Diet is a great option. It can help you feel better, lose weight, and heal autoimmune diseases.

Here are my top 5 tips:

  • Eat a Carnivore breakfast when you feel hungry at any time of the day.
  • Eggs are a great option - have as many as you want.
  • Fry your food in grass-fed butter - so much CLA and healthy saturated fat.
  • Always add meat, preferably beef!
