A man has left the internet horrified after opening up about his bizarre raw meat diet, which sees him ingesting uncooked animal organs like testicles and brains on a daily basis.
Weam Breiche, 31, a health and fitness coach from Los Angeles, has received mixed responses online after detailing his controversial eating habits, which he claims have left him looking and feeling better than ever – and helped him to maintain a healthier lifestyle than he ever did while following a plant-based diet.
Growing up in Lebanon, Weam fell in love with eating raw meat and would often have five plates of raw organs per meal as an appetizer.
Despite this, he decided to adopt a plant-based diet in the hopes that it would help to improve his wellness, fitness and mental health. However, while many have waxed lyrical about the benefits of a vegan diet, Weam claims that the food plan prompted a myriad of health issues, including inflammation in his nervous system.

After visiting his doctor, he returned to his raw meat meals and hasn’t looked back since.
‘I first made the switch to cooked carnivore after my doctor informed me that I had a lot of inflammation in my digestive and nervous system,’ Weam said.
‘As I adopted this diet, I started reading books about the benefits of meat and a lot of carnivore doctors eat their meat raw – so I decided to go for it.
‘I’m reading several books on being carnivore at the moment and there are no complications to this diet. It’s the ultimate elimination diet.’
Weam also claims that ‘being carnivore can reverse diabetes, blood pressure, heart disease and many autoimmune diseases,’ however none of these claims are backed up by official scientific or medical research. In general, eating raw meat remains very controversial and dieticians warn strongly against it.
But despite the risks, Weam insists that he has nothing to worry about.
‘You might risk bacterial infection, but a healthy gut is totally capable of destroying harmful bacteria,’ he added.

Currently, his diet consists of 90 per cent raw meat and he claims not to have experienced any complications so far.
Weam used to eat 2,400 calories per day, but now consumes over 4,500 calories a day to help build muscle.
Before returning to his raw meat plan, he would typically have an almond milk smoothie for breakfast, protein pasta with mushrooms and spinach for lunch, followed by beans for dinner.
Now, his breakfast consists of half-a-pound of raw beef, which he places in a blender with two teaspoons of raw butter, half a teaspoon of salt and raw eggs.
For lunch, he’ll eat two veal testicles, one veal brain, lamb liver, beef heart, beef kidney, beef bone marrow and raw butter.
At dinner, he’ll have raw steak slices and butter, which he sometimes pairs with an unflavored grass fed protein shake.
He said: ‘My favorite raw food is my concoction [in the morning] and veal brains. I also like raw ribeye and fillets.
‘I’m not a fan of raw chicken and pork – I’ve actually never tried them. I don’t even eat them cooked either.’
Although he eats a lot of food, he recalls feeling light enough to do a workout straight after eating and goes to the gym seven days a week.

Although he’s received a mixture of responses, Weam doesn’t find any of them offensive and takes people calling him ‘Wolverine’ as a compliment.
He added: ‘I get a lot of love from people who want help – especially overweight kids that struggle with confidence.
‘I also get tons of hate, especially from the vegan community, who continuously report my account and threaten to remove it.
‘A lot of people focus on being in shape within the fitness world, but neglect actually being healthy – physically and mentally.
‘I’ve tried all diets and struggled with hemorrhoids, as well as anal fissures [small tears in the anus].
‘Using the restroom was a struggle for me, until I started my meat only diet and now my digestion is optimal.
