In recent months, we’ve noticed that a number of our customers have boosted their egg purchases considerably. A common link between them is that they have moved to a carnivore diet. That doesn’t mean that they only eat meat.The diet is a dietary regimen that involves consuming only animal products while excluding all plant-based foods.
The diet emphasises eating eggs, meat and some dairy products, with no restrictions on quantities.
According to a 2013 study conducted by Boston University, adopting a carnivore diet could result in weight loss, enhanced heart health characterised by an average increase in HDL cholesterol of 5.1 mg/dl, decreased inflammation and fewer digestive issues. On the farm, we prefer a balanced diet with a wide range of vegetables as well as meat products. Hard to think of sitting down to a roast without potatoes etc.
