Real Fix

Credit: SWNS / Jonathan Griffiths  A bodybuilder on a carnivore diet eats a block of butter a day and says food is for “function” - not “enjoyment”.  Jonathan Griffiths, 28, has been eating a completely animal-based diet for the last four years.  He eats 700g of meat, half a litre of raw milk, 100g of cheese and four eggs a day.  He avoids any fruit and vegetables and credits the diet for making him “stronger” and improving his health.  Jonathan, a content creator and nutrition consultant, from Bournemouth, Dorset, said: “It’s more eating to function rather than eating for enjoyment.  “I still enjoy food but I don’t have that craving.  “I don’t get hangry any more."

00:00Hi there, my name is Jonathan and I go by Carnivore Muscle on YouTube.

00:08I'm a 28-year-old bodybuilder from the south of England in Bournemouth.

00:11I'd say for me the ultimate biohack has been the carnivore diet.

00:30The last time I had vegetables was about a couple of weeks ago.

00:33I tend to have vegetables or fruit or any kind of thing like that.

00:36Maybe every two weeks, but that's in one single meal with family.

00:40I find for me it gives me the best flexibility between eating things I enjoy with family members.

00:47Although there are other options you can have outside of, you know, restaurant food.

00:52Some people just go to the restaurant, not eat anything, drink a glass of water, then they'll eat before or after.

00:58For me, I like the social aspect of eating more so than the food itself.

01:02But that's it for the most part and probably 99% carnivore.

01:14In the future, I'd like to compete more.

01:16I'd like to spread awareness to the carnivore diet as it stands.

01:20I think it's a lot of, there's a lot of misconception about it, nutrient deficiencies, things like that.

01:27The thing is, I'm the healthiest I've ever been.

01:29I suffer with many different issues, health issues, which were otherwise not imposed upon myself by me.

01:36When I actually managed to mitigate a lot of pain, stress, fatigue from doing it.

01:41So I suffer with autistic spectrum disorder.

01:43And for me, it's been very valuable to actually implement this diet as a, almost like an intervention.

01:49I noticed the events transpire.

01:52Since that time I've started carnivore diet, I've reduced all medication down to one single medicine each day.

01:59And that's from the point where I was using codeine, lots of painkillers, antacids every single day for years.

02:05So my life as an autistic carnivore bodybuilder, what it's worth is significantly better.
