Before the paleo ngehits diet, a century and a half ago Walt Whitman had suggested this. "Let the main part of the diet be meat, to the exclusion of others," he wrote in the series of Manly Health and Training series.

As the name implies, the contemporary diet is inspired by the human life pattern of the meat-centered Paleotikum.

He claims that eating half-cooked meat can cure acne. Whitman forbade salt-fed meats; And the salt itself should be used to a minimum.

Whitman also cautioned about cucumbers, cabbage, and some other foods because it was bad for a man's health. "Lobster and chicken salad, cabbage, cucumber, and even potatoes, should be removed," he wrote.

Eat dry food, do not add a kind of sauce, he said. Avoid the spicy, and do not mostly drink coffee and alcohol because it can damage the sound.

Whitman motivated: "For you all, scribes, literati, people who live irregularly, rich people, lazy, advise the same.Let wake up! This world (maybe you now see it with pale eyes and disgust) full of excitement and beauty for you , If you live it with the right spirit! "

Although, do to diet, he suffered a paralytic stroke at the age of 54!
Ironic, even though he was racist (like most back then) , he wrote "you are either to abolish slavery or it will abolish you".
He ended up dying from infections at 73, "bronchial pneumonia, and that an egg-sized abscess on his chest had eroded one of his ribs"
I bet if he had a modern autopsy done on him, they would have found that he had cancer!
"People with weakened immune systems get certain abscesses more often. This is because the body has a decreased ability to ward off infections. Those with any of the following are at risk of having more severe abscesses:
Cancer .........."

Whitman was a good poet, I just wouldn't personally take any dietary advice from him ;) Thanks for the post to reflect on!
