We’ve been lied to about everything — food, health, and even vegetables. In this conversation with Dave Mac of @ZeroCarb, we dig into why moderation doesn’t work, what it’s really like living carnivore in Japan, and the surprising truths about plants, carbs, and healing.
Dave shares:


His doctor’s wake-up call: prediabetes + alcohol = time for change


Why he started his channel out of anger at the lies we’ve been told


What life is really like doing carnivore in Japan (hint: Yakiniku + steak at the table 🍖)


Growing up carb-addicted in Australia and Scotland (yes, entire loaves of Wonder White bread 🤯)


How bread + sugar fed his acne and pot belly as a kid


Why medical “experts” dismissing carnivore as “anecdotal” is hypocritical


His best advice for beginners: take it one day at a time, don’t project 10 years ahead


Why beating yourself up after a slip-up leads to the donut spiral — and how to get back on track immediately


The Navy SEAL mindset for carnivore: just survive the next meal, the next day, and build consistency


Why planning ahead for failures is as important as planning your meals


How his friends react (“nodding and backing away slowly 👀”) and why being a foreigner in Japan makes it easier to stand out


His first U.S. speaking gig at MeatStock 2026 🎤🥩 Use code - LTL - for $50 off your ticket at https://meatstockconvention.com/ 


His final advice: “Just try it. You don’t know how good you can feel until you escape the ultra-processed cloud you’ve lived in your whole life.”


👉 Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or already meat-based, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about food.
