Are there enough nutrients in meat to allow you to live on meat alone? People who follow a strict plant-based diet do need to supplement with vital vitamins, so is it the same if you avoid the veggies?

Vitamins

As humans, we need 4 fat-soluble vitamins, these are A, D, E, and K. we need to have fat on our plate to absorb these vitamins. We also need Vitamin C and all the B vitamins. B12 was talked about in this blog here.

Minerals

Macrominerals include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur. You only need small amounts of trace minerals. They include iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, and selenium. Most people get the number of minerals they need by eating a wide variety of foods, however, if we were to stop eating the vegetables, what would happen?

Live on meat alone

If we were to just chow down on steaks on their own, you would lose out on some of the vital nutrients the human body requires to function. Just as people get their nutrients from lots of different foods, you need to add in a few more varieties of meats. So pop a few ox cheeks or pork cheeks, shin beef, and oxtail into your carnivore diet. Have you noticed when a wild dog or lion takes down a wildebeest, the pack all descend on the stomach area to feast first? This is because most nutrient-rich parts are the offal. If you add liver and kidneys to your plate then you will also benefit from those vital vitamins. why not add some black pudding? We talked in length about the offal in this blog. The chicken liver also contains vitamin C, which people think only comes from citrus fruit.

Eggs, Dairy and Fish

By encompassing eggs, dairy, and fish into your carnivore diet, you really start to ramp up the nutrients. A quick check on dietary websites will tell you that meat, fish, especially oily fish, dairy, and eggs are listed as sources of essential vitamins and minerals. Seafood, including clams, oysters, and mussels will contain the manganese we would miss out on with meat only.

So Yes, and No!

On the face of it, Yes. We would get our full quota of vitamins and minerals by eating a full complement of food derived from animals. If we live on meat alone, then no. But it is interesting, that an all-meat diet is considered the ultimate elimination diet to stop allergies. Plus, although you don’t have to eat the veggies, you do need to eat ‘nose to tail’, luckily we have lots of choice cuts and offal to choose from. Mind you, the plate wouldn’t look right without a couple of vegs, roast potatoes and a Yorkshire pud on Sunday!

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): A potent antioxidant which plays a key role in making collagen production in the skin and blood vessels, strengthens ligaments, tendons and bones, directly boosts immune system, and helps prevent oxidative stress Tryptophan: Improves mood by converting L-Tryptophan into serotonin, which in turn improves mood and reduces stress. It also affects memory, cognition, memory formation, and sleep patterns.

Calcium Gluconate: Important for healthy nerves, muscles and bones.

B complex: Refers to all known essential water-soluble vitamins except for vitamin C. These include Thiamine (vitamin B1), Riboflavin (vitamin B2), Niacin (vitamin B3), Pantothenic Acid (vitamin B5), Pyridoxine (vitamin B6), Biotin, Folic Acid and the Cobalamins (vitamin B12). Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and Biotin participate in different aspects of energy production, Vitamin B6 is essential for amino acid metabolism, and vitamin B12 and Folic Acid facilitate steps required for cell division Glutathione: Powerful, premiere antioxidant helps fight destructive free radicals; increases immunity to fight infections, prevents cancer, slows body’s aging process. It is the ticket to better health and longevity. Helps decrease with tremors and gait balance with Parkinson’s. Improves blood flow, decreases clotting in patients with atherosclerosis. Glutathione has been used in treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, cancer, chronic infections, autoimmune disease, diabetes, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, asthma, kidney problems, liver disease, fertility and more. Another benefit to Glutathione is recovery in athletes and those leading active lifestyles. Several studies have shown that test subjects supplementing glutathione had an increase in lean muscle mass over control groups that did not add glutathione. Presumably the increased glutathione removes the damage and free radicals caused by intense workouts which speeds up the body’s ability to heal and rebuild muscle.
