That guy is a fake carnivore. I personally wouldn't take health advice from anyone who pretends to be a carnivore. They have no idea what they're actually talking about. If you want to be "carnivore" you need to eat probiotics made from meat. That means fermented/rotted/pickled etc. meats. That's how you populate your digestive system with the right microbes to break down raw meat. And if you are cooking the meat. And you also want to be eating a bunch of marine mammals and fish. You look at any indigenous people that primarily eat meat, look at where they live and what kind of meat they actually eat. Don't trust western doctors in general, but if they're selling fake fad diets like he is, don't trust them even more.

Curious about why you've been doing raw then. He actually confirms in this video that cooking eggs helps you absorb more of the protein than eating them raw. Not trying to be critical so much as understand what your motivation for going raw here is. I'm not a total scare monger on salmonella and have definitely been known to eat the occasional raw cookie dough or play fast and loose with my oyakodon preparation, but chugging a dozen raw eggs daily just seems like playing gastrointestinal russian roulette without an obvious upside, especially given the absorption issues.
For those complaining about raw eggs; you're more likely to get salmonella from Flour Processing than eggs. "Don't eat the cake batter! " is where most people get this egg-salmonella association. It's the flour, not the eggs. Call me a googledebunker.

Steak and eggs is good for weightloss. Not a sustainable diet long term. The fat from the egg yoke is why you feel more energised, fat is better for more sustained exercise while sugars are better for more intense exercise, so if youre not doing a lot of cardio fat is typically better for energy, quitting coffee is why your sleep and focus improved.

Incorrect. Consumption of sugar is not a requirement for human nutrition and it is not a requirement for intense exercise. Im fact, many on carnivorous diets find themselves perfectly capable of intensive exercise; they even seem preform better than those on omnivorous or plant based individuals. What is a requirement is glucose for your muscles to even fire and work properly in the first place. Believe it or not, human beings have this thing called gluconeogenesis and it's very efficient at producing and recycling glucose for our body. Ergo, we do not need to eat carbs because our body efficiently makes a sufficient amount given whatever the task may be. This includes activities like resistance training, sprinting, walking, gesturing with your hands, typing, etc. Any and every movement your muscles do has it's supply of glucose through gluconeogenesis. It's even happening even if you eat carbs.
High-protein diets can support cognitive function by providing amino acids for neurotransmitters, with some studies showing benefits for focus & memory (e.g., in older adults). However, "all-protein" extremes like carnivore lack robust long-term evidence & may miss key nutrients. Consult a doc!
