I too have shifted to the human carnivorous diet recently and have never been more healthy - plus - it's the perfect beef resolution program.
But seriously - while it's possible to do without meat, some people probably have bodies that do much better with a carnivorous diet - Jordan Peterson and his family seem to be those people.
Peterson talked a lot about this diet near the end of his latest Joe Rogan interview. The funny thing is that all of this came from his daughter, and he kind of just took little steps first cutting carbs and sugars and then even greens and ended up losing fifty pounds, being able to wake up early for the first time in his life, and getting off SSRIs.
He has said he has no idea why it works and hasn't done the research, just speaking as a layman.
He also said that cheating even a little bit didn't work for him, and he might cheat with something innocuous like a fruit juice, and find himself feeling like shit for a month, and going back to the diet.
I agree with SS, and think that there are certain people who just need meat, as there are certain others who are sickened by meat.
It could be that diet is far more mysterious and complex than the experts think, because weird diets like this seem to work for some people.
It reminds me of the story of the English kid who would only eat jam sandwichs, and everyone was worried, but it turns out he got sufficient protein and vitamins and minerals.

A teenager who has existed on a diet of jam sandwiches for more than a decade has been given a clean bill of health.
Although Craig Flatman, 15, has eating habits that would make a nutritionist shudder, a dietician concluded last week that the 6ft 1in, 11-stone youngster was getting "adequate protein and some vitamins and minerals".
Pretty unlikely this diet would work for many other people, and yet it is working for this kid, and it must have been hell for his poor parents trying and failing to get him to eat anything else. They must have felt like shit parents.
There could also be a spiritual/mental aspect to this along the lines of the placebo effect, wherein the willingness to make a change and believing in it might account for more than standard medicine wants to acknowledge.
Specifically looking at Peterson, that was a first class bit of parenting. He is the famous one in the family, and yet he was willing to take his daughter's advice on faith and it changed his life.
This certainly did her a world of good psychologically, and it is pretty hard as a parent to say to a kid, yeah, I will trust your judgement and do what you say.
