About This Site

A reference, not a journey.

Good information about the carnivore way of eating exists. It is scattered across hundreds of hours of video, a handful of practitioner sites, dozens of books, and an enormous volume of anecdote. The signal-to-noise ratio is poor, and the best material is rarely indexed well.

This site consolidates the foundations — what carnivore eating is, how to start, what to expect, and where the evidence stands — into one maintained reference. It is not a personal narrative or a coaching program. It is a living document, updated as the field evolves, the practitioner consensus shifts, and new research becomes available.

The goal is to be the first place someone lands, and the last place they need to go to get started.

What you'll find

  • The Method A strict 30-day BBB&E protocol — the most common, lowest-variable entry point for anyone starting carnivore.
  • Resources The free 26-slide starter deck, curated practitioner videos, and a plain-language FAQ covering the questions that come up first.
  • Practitioner Guidance Referenced material from physicians and researchers — Ken Berry MD, Paul Saladino MD, Shawn Baker MD — with source links.
  • About the Site Who maintains this, how it stays current, and where the consensus / non-consensus boundary is drawn.
Where to Start

Strict BBB&E for 30 days.

Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs — nothing else for 30 days. It is not the only path into carnivore eating, but it is the cleanest starting point: minimal variables, clear rules, and a long enough window to observe how the body responds before adding anything back.

Beef. Butter. Bacon. Eggs.

Salt to taste. Water to thirst. Nothing else for 30 days.

No condiments

Salt is the only seasoning. No sauces, marinades, spice blends, or other flavourings during the initial 30 days.

No other dairy

Butter is the only dairy allowed. No cream, cheese, milk, or yoghurt until the evaluation period is complete.

No exceptions

Strict for the full 30 days. The point is an unambiguous baseline — then re-evaluate and reintroduce deliberately.

A Note

Not a doctor. Not a food expert.

This site is maintained by Boyd Tiffin. He is not a licensed physician, registered dietitian, nutritionist, or food-science professional of any kind. His role here is editorial: to consolidate the available information, keep it current as new studies and practitioner guidance emerge, and mark clearly where practitioner consensus exists and where it does not.

Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Dietary change — particularly a restrictive protocol like strict carnivore — can have significant effects on the body, including on blood work, medication efficacy, and conditions that require clinical management. Before making changes to your diet, consult a qualified physician or licensed healthcare provider, particularly if you take prescription medication, have an existing medical condition, are pregnant or nursing, or have a history of disordered eating.
