WAPF IMAGES 70

This year we are continuing our weekly posts of 10 WAPF related random images. We saved all the WAPF related images that we re-posted or simply noticed online last year in a big image gallery: WAPF IMAGES 2025 - There are all sorts of images in there so hopefully you will find something of interest.

The 2025 Gallery got up to around 500 images, and in 2026 we plan to have lots more fun posting images, so our new WAPF IMAGES 2026 gallery could end up having even more images than that by the end of the year!

CARNIVORE BREAD

Carnivore Bread by Deb

Yes, I know that this sounds moronic, but let me explain.

First off – there are a lot of different approaches to Carnivore. Joachim Bartoll’s approach is possibly the most extreme, which includes raw meat. At the other end you have people like Paul Saladino whose Carnivore cookbook includes recipes with fruit and vegetables (WTF?). The approach that makes most sense to me is somewhere between Bart Kay and Judy Cho. Bart says doing it right means:

80% of the diet should be ruminant meat and the associated fat
Salt to your taste (and this may change over time)
Water as required
Some eggs, if you feel so inclined and you tolerate them
Some dairy, if you feel so inclined and you tolerate it
A tiny bit of organ meat, if you fancy it, but don’t overdo it and it’s not necessary

Some people do what they call BBBE, which is beef, bacon, butter & eggs.

Judy recommends a no plant elimination diet for healing. For long term Carnivore, she says to eat the Carnivore rainbow to get a range of nutrients – red meat, poultry, fish, bacon, seafood, dairy, eggs, animal fats – and I think a lot of people would find this easier. Always remembering though that the red meat should be the bulk of the diet.

Anyway, this post is not about how to do the Carnivore diet – do your own reading up on that, and I might write more later.

The post is about bread alternatives, which might help make the diet easier to stick to. They are usually based on eggs and either dairy of some kind or panko made from pork rinds. There is even one made from chicken. So as long as you don’t eat too much, they will fit in with most approaches.

Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride has a no plant variant to the GAPS diet, and these breads would also work for that.

I’ve collected together a range of recipes which I’ll list below. Currently I haven’t tried any, but will report back when I do.

Carnivore Biscuits

These are similar to what we’d call scones in NZ, and contain just 2 ingredients

Eggs
Butter powder (NOT buttermilk powder)

I don’t know if butter powder is available in NZ, but you can buy it from iHerb.

See the video of how to make them.

Bella’s Japanese style carnivore buns

First of several recipes by Bella, also known as Steak & Butter Gal. Similar to the one above but with cream or milk powder.

3 eggs
1.5 cups heavy cream powder, or milk powder
1 tbsp baking powder

See the video of how to make them.

She offers another alternative with 1 cup goat milk powder, 1/2 cup collagen and some extra baking soda.

One of the commenters on the video said: I made this with 3 eggs, 180g whole milk powder & 1 tbsp baking powder, I couldn’t find cream powder here in Scotland. I baked them in a conventional oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 12 mins without flipping them. I got 4 decent sized buns that smell like pancakes & taste like brioche. These are amazing for burgers or in my case, bacon & egg butties.

Other commenters have had success with A2 milk powder, or with buttermilk powder.

Cloud Bread

There are recipes for Cloud bread everywhere, and they are all very similar. This is just one I picked at random.

3 eggs (separated)
2oz cream cheese
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/8 tsp salt

See the recipe here.

Cloud Bread 2

This version of cloud bread only uses the egg whites and uses grated cheese instead of cream cheese.

See the video here.

Bella’s carnivore flatbreads

Replaces sandwich bread, pizza crust-ish, wraps, etc. Ingredients:

4 eggs
16oz of cottage cheese

See the video of how to make them.

Bella’s Carnivore bread

Ingredients:

Eggs
Egg white protein powder
Cream cheese
Butter
Gelatin
Raising agents

See the video of how to make it.

Bella’s Other carnivore bread

Version with dairy contains:

12 eggs
2 cups pork panko
1.5 cups cottage cheese
1 stick of butter

Dairy free version contains:

12 eggs
4 cups pork panko
8 Tbsp tallow

See the video of how to make it.

Bella’s pancakes

7 eggs
4 Tbs collagen + 2 Tbs gelatin

See the video of how to make them. (Or one commenter said just beating everything together in the food processor also worked.)

Chicken based bread

This is completely different and not as heavily egg based. Ingredients are:

Chicken mince (or I imagine turkey mince would work too)
Eggs
Parmesan
Baking powder

See the recipe here.

THE MUCUSLESS DIET

An early example of an unbelievably bad diet was the “mucusless diet,” formulated by a German “professor” Arnold Ehret and published in a 1922 book called Mucusless Diet Healing System: Scientific Method of Eating Your Way to Health. Unfortunately, we don’t know the long-term effects of the diet on its inventor because Ehret died after falling on a curb and hitting his head two weeks after writing the book.

According to Ehret, “Every disease, no matter what name it is known by Medical Science, is Constipation. A clogging up of the entire pipe system of the human body. Any special symptom is therefore merely an extraordinary local constipation by more accumulated mucus at this particular place. Special accumulation points are the tongue, the stomach and particularly the entire digestive tract.” He preached that fruit was the perfect food and along with leafy vegetables was enough to sustain a human being in good health. He also advocated fasting, starting with a two- or three-day fast, and promoted longer fasts (up to forty days) once the body was used to going without food.

Like many other practitioners in the early 20^th century, Ehret was fixated on the bowels—his contemporary John Harvey Kellogg, for example, believed that three bowel movements per day were a sign of good health. “The average person has as much as ten pounds of un-eliminated feces in the bowels continually, poisoning the blood stream and the entire system,” wrote Ehret. “Think of it! My ‘Mucus Theory’ and ‘Mucusless Diet Healing System’ stand unshaken; it has proven the most successful ‘Compensation-Action’ so-called cure against every kind of disease. By its systematic application thousands of declared-incurable patients could be saved.”

Whereas conventional doctors of the time—also often fixated on the bowels–treated “clogged bowels” with arsenic preparations, Ehret advocated a strict vegan diet—which may have unclogged those stroppy bowels in the short term, but would starve you if you stuck to it, especially if you also engaged in punishing fasts.

Only fruit and leafy green vegetables were allowed. “All other foods of civilization, without exception, are mucus and acid forming, and therefore are harmful.” Apparently, Ehret’s “scientific” approach failed to realize that our mucous membranes are there for a purpose. . . to produce mucus.

Ehret railed against the “heavy breakfast,” calling it “the worst and by far the most unhealthy habit. No solid food should be eaten in the early morning at all if you desire to secure the best results.” He also warned against taking liquids with foods. “If accustomed to tea or coffee, wait a short while after you have eaten before drinking. Soups should be avoided with meals, as the more liquid taken the more difficult for proper digestion. If a warm drink is desired, for instance, as a breakfast drink during the winter time, make a broth by cooking for a long time different kinds of vegetables, such as spinach, onions, carrots, cabbages, etc., and DRINK THE JUICE ONLY.”

Unfortunately, the mucusless diet did not die with its inventor, but took on a life of its own. Reprinted in 1953, his book is still out there urging a starvation diet as a way to bodily purity. The most famous recent advocate for the diet was Apple CEO Steve Jobs who, for the better part of his life, consumed only fruits and vegetables until his death from pancreatic cancer in 2011.

When Ashton Kutcher, who played the character of Jobs in the eponymous film, tried to follow the mucusless diet, he lost eighteen pounds but he ended up in the emergency room as his insulin levels fluctuated out of control.

What could possibly go wrong on a diet of only fruits and vegetables? Malnutrition, low blood sugar, osteoporosis, dementia, anger and mood swings (Jobs was famous for this), to name but a few. The diet certainly will not prevent cancer, as proven by the example of the late Apple CEO.
