Beef jerky only diet??

[fender08]

I met a guy at the gym last night that dose a beef jerky only diet 6 days a week he said. He's huge and has a lot of lean muscle. I'm just curious if anyone else has heard of this. I found it interesting. Doubt I do it because I like some variety. Oh, and he said sometimes he eats yogurt also. I know beef jerky us low in carbs and is jacked with protein. But it can't be good to eat only that is it?

Jerky is low in fat and almost no carbs. Also, pretty high in sodium if it is store bought. Think of it as a very lean flank steak with seasoning.

A well balanced diet is what a person really needs with a mix of protein, good fats and carbs. Jerky is definitely not a long term diet, could you imagine eating that for any significant amount of time?

No way. I can't really Finnish a bag of it without getting tired of it. He said he did it for months. Crazy.

Diets like this are simply unhealthy. Just because it still allows you to grow, does not mean you're healthy inside. Lack of diversity in nutrients of any diet is unhealthy and soon enough it will catch up to him. That's if he's smart and has blood work done regularly.

All of these weird diets like this and the lemonade only diet, etc.. are garbage for your body. Bet he has some strong jaw muscles though

^ that's kinda what I figured. There's no way eating only one thing can be an all in one food. If so everyone would be doing it. And if there is, it's sure to be disgusting. Beef jerky taste to good to be the miracle food. Although I can see where he was coming from, it would work better I'd say adding more.

The sodium intake would be very concerning.

Sounds delicious... I prefer the all bacon diet myself.

The sodium intake would be very concerning.

That's just begging for intestinal disease (and that's just in the short term).
