Carnivore MD Says He ‘Likes Fruit’ For Carbohydrates – And Claims Pickles Are Animal-Based

Paul Saladino, previously known as Carnivore MD, has gained attention for his unconventional dietary habits, including incorporating fruit into his animal-based diet for carbohydrates. In a video with YouTuber Bobby Parrish, Saladino expressed his preference for fruit over other sources of carbohydrates like sweet potatoes. He believes that fruit contains the least amount of "plant toxins" compared to other carb sources, which he views as harmful due to the presence of anti-nutrients.

Saladino also made a curious claim in the video, stating that pickles are animal-based. Despite not providing any further explanation, he defended his choice to include pickles in his diet as they contain minimal preservatives and taste good. Additionally, Saladino discussed his decision to add honey to his diet to increase carbohydrate intake, labeling it as carnivore-friendly due to the exclusion of vegans from consuming it. His dietary choices have sparked debate within the health and wellness community.
