I don’t do well with pork. My response to that is even worse than some plant foods. If you’re eating a lot of pork and don’t feel good, try reducing or ideally eliminating it. Ruminant meat (cows, sheep, even moose, elk) is drastically different than pig meat. Be careful of organically farmed salmon. It sounds …
Do I Need To Take Supplements On A Carnivore Diet Or The Lion Diet?
I recommend vitamin testing before and yearly on the Lion Diet and supplementing deficiencies with IVs for very sensitive people. The company Pure Encapsulations is good for supplements without many fillers as well. Depending on your genes you may not convert certain supplements well (particularly people with MTHFR or slow COMT) and if so you …

SSRI/PSYCH Med Warnings
If you take a low dose of a psych medication (other than a benzodiazepine) for a year or less, it doesn’t appear to cause significant withdrawal. However, if you take a psych med for 2+ years, especially at higher doses, getting off them can be extremely difficult and very scary. You can read more at …
Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Fed
There are some extremely sensitive people that do better with grass-fed beef but for the majority of people (including me (Mikhaila) who is very sensitive), grain-fed beef is fine. Buy the highest quality meat you can afford. I’ve seen people heal themselves on a diet of pure patties from McDonald’s! Eat the best you can …

What Are The Main Problematic Foods?
Gluten – You know those stereotypical Californian girls who don’t eat gluten “because it makes you fat” but they don’t exactly know what it is? They had a point. Gluten is composed of two proteins; gliadin and glutenin. Gliadin is really not good for people. Yes, all people. Not just people either, mammals. The gluten molecule can …
What Do I Do If I Want To Ease Into The Diet?
For people who are very ill, reducing carb intake and “weaning” into the diet may be the appropriate path. Some people can jump right in. If you’re very sick I recommend weaning carbs for a few months leading into the diet. Month 1: No grains or dairy, drink only water. That’s going to be much …

Unaged or Aged Beef?
When you age meat, you increase the histamine levels present in the food. The vast majority of meat that is found at grocery stores, farmer’s markets, and even local ranches, is aged. When the immune and digestive system are in good condition, histamines usually are not a problem, but if you are sick there is …
I’ve Started The Lion Diet, Do You Have Any Immediate Advice?
Get the food you don’t want to eat out of your house. Cravings can and will get bad. You don’t realize how addicted to sugar you are until you truly get off of it. If you start having dreams about cake and sugar (which can happen), you know how much your body is addicted to …

How Much Do I Eat?
Eat until you’re full. Eat when you’re hungry. Same with water – drink when you’re thirsty. However, if your body is all out of sorts it’s not quite that simple. If you’re excessively thirsty you should try salting your water. Don’t drink unsalted water. You could be thirsty because your body is asking for electrolytes …
