If you are a fan of Joe Rogan, you are likely aware of his unconventional carnivore diet, which he announced last January during the celebration of #WorldCarnivoreMonth.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship color commentator, podcaster, and comedian decided he’d eat only meat and eggs for one month and covered other nutritional bases through supplements.
On February 1, Rogan wrapped up his carnivore diet and shared to his more than 9 million followers the effects of this approach while showing off his incredible body transformation.
The Downside
The fight commentator said he needed to endure ‘lots of aches and pains’ during this period and having extra trip to the comfort room was one of its biggest challenges.
“Carnivore diet update; the good and the bad. Let’s start with the bad. There’s really only one ‘bad’ thing, and that thing is diarrhea.”
”I’m not sure diarrhea is an accurate word for it, like I don’t think a shark is technically a fish. It’s a different thing, and with regular diarrhea I would compare it to a fire you see coming a block or two away and you have the time to make an escape, whereas this carnivore diet is like out of nowhere the fire is coming through the cracks, your doorknob is red hot, and all hope is lost.
“It seems to be getting a little better every day, so there’s that to look forward to.”
Ripped
On the bright side, the fight commentator was able to sustain his energy level for one month – no ups and no downs. After 30 days of eating meat, Rogan lost 12 pounds, which made him feel “happier and more balanced.”
“The good: Now, I’m well aware of the placebo effect and I’m constantly self-analyzing every perceived reaction I’m having to eating only meat for almost 2 weeks straight.”
“But one thing I’m fairly sure of is that my energy levels are higher and steadier throughout the day. This seems undeniable.”
“This is the only time in my life I’ve ever tried eliminating carbs for more than a day or so, and since I started the diet a couple days before January I’m now about 13 days in, at least 7 pounds lighter, and in completely uncharted territory for me.”
“Which makes me think this is probably completely uncharted territory for 99% of the people on earth.”
