Following different diets, eating habits, and healthy “hacks” is up to each individual. What people choose to put into their system is none of our business and we must respect it – even if I don’t understand how someone can survive without eating meat.
Nothing beats throwing some meat on the grill while sharing a beer with friends!
Seeing sausages, steaks, and patties cooking just improves my day. So becoming vegan is not something I’m looking for at the moment. However, the opposite happened to a well-known vegan influencer – after she tried a diet that consists of only eating animal products for 30 days.
Vegan influencer
Alyse Parker had been vegan for almost five years, which means a life free of meat or products that come from animals. The commitment to this popular lifestyle has made her world-famous – and the influencer now has 730,000 fans on Youtube as well as 208,000 followers on Instagram.
Recently, however, Alyse Parker has angered her fans and other vegan influencers, Ladbible reports. The reason being that she committed to follow the so-called “meat diet” for 30 days.

“Being vegan for almost five years, I know what it’s like to lose myself in the identity of a diet culture and lose true open-mindedness,” she said according to the site.
Finally, after hearing the positive results from others, curiosity took over – and Alyse spent a month consuming only animal products. The carnivore diet.
“I’m a firm believer in experiencing things first hand and getting a real feel for what something is all about before I form a personal opinion on it.
“The carnivore diet first came into my awareness when a close friend shared with me all of the benefits that he was experiencing by eating this way.”

She admits it was a struggle to eat meat again, but once the experiment was over it was impossible to stop. Alyse says that shifting from vegan to carnivore has made her feel more clear mentally, focused, wholesome, and healthy.
Her followers were not happy
“I hope more people try to experience other points of view,” she said.
Alyse’s vegan followers didn’t receive the change very well.
“Eating meat is not just a ‘thing to try again’. It’s killing animals for food. It’s killing nature. There’s nothing healthy in that,” said an ex-fan, according to Ladbible.
“Disgusting. That animal wanted to live. Shame on you for bashing veganism,” said another.
