Why No Vegetables?
Let’s get honest about what your body actually needs.
If you’ve ever felt confused about food, you’re not alone. Just like you, I was raised to believe that “healthy” meant eating more greens, loading up on fruit, and fearing red meat and fat. We were told that fiber is king, plants are cleansing, and animal foods should be kept to a minimum.
But what if the opposite is true?
What if your body is struggling not because it needs more variety, but because it’s overwhelmed by too much?
The Modern Myth
The Modern Myth
“We need vegetables to be healthy.”
This belief has been deeply ingrained for decades. And while it’s well-meaning, it doesn’t always reflect how the human body works best.
The truth is:
- You don’t need vegetables to get your vitamins and minerals.
- You don’t need fruit to be energised.
- You don’t need fiber to have a healthy gut.
In fact, for many people, especially in midlife, removing most or all plant foods can improve digestion, reduce bloating, stabilise blood sugar, calm inflammation, improve mental clarity, and restore energy levels
So Why Do We Remove Most Vegetables?
So Why Do We Remove Most Vegetables?
Plants aren’t neutral. Many contain natural defense chemicals (like oxalates, lectins, and phytates) that can irritate your gut, disrupt hormones, or trigger immune responses, especially if your body is already under stress.
And if you’ve been feeling inflamed, tired, or stuck despite “eating healthy,” your system might just need a reset. A simpler, more foundational way to eat.

Carnivore Isn’t About Perfection
Carnivore Isn’t About Perfection
It’s about function.
This isn’t dogma. It’s about discovering how your body feels when you take out what may be irritating it, and fuel up on what it’s actually built to thrive on: animal-based nutrition.
- Bioavailable protein
- Essential fats
- Easily absorbed vitamins and minerals
- Zero blood sugar rollercoasters
What About Berries, Avocado, and Sauerkraut?
What About Berries, Avocado, and Sauerkraut?
In my programs, you’ll notice something: we’re not rigid.
- Avocado can offer clean fats and potassium
- Sauerkraut can support digestion and taste
- Berries (especially for women) can be helpful around training and hormone phases, and are very low in carbohydrates
These are included strategically, not by default. You’ll always know why they’re there, and whether your body truly benefits from them.
You Don’t Need to Fear Vegetables
You Don’t Need to Fear Vegetables
But you also don’t need to depend on them.
This is your chance to find out what’s true for you, without the noise, guilt, or confusion. Most people don’t realise how much better they could feel until they give their body a clean slate to work from.
It’s not about restriction. It’s about removal of what’s not working, so you can rebuild from strength.
That’s what Functional Carnivore is all about.
