Derek Nance has cultivated a paleo diet consisting of eating nothing but raw meat in the last seven years.

Apparently he had some health problems and did what a lot of people do – yo-yo diet.

While he wasn’t trying to lose weight, that was happening without any control of his own, he was trying to improve his health.

He gave up wheat and dairy, then tried the Mediterranean diet, and then he went to, shockingly, to a vegan diet.

Like most people who diet hop, he wasn’t finding anything that worked.

Then someone suggested a carnivorous take on the paleo diet.

Now there's a man in Kentucky who subsists on raw meat, and even brushes his teeth with animal fat.

He consumes almost the entire carcass -- the innards and fat included.

The nearly exclusive flesh diet makes us queasy, but Nance believes it cured his own nausea condition.

"I've physically gotten stronger and more physically robust."

Derek Nance has a vegetarian girlfriend.

Derek Nance barters with people in order to sustain his diet, and has exchanges and trades with people on craigslist.

After working as a butcher, and practicing his raw diet as covered by VICE, a German television show did a coverage of his diet.

His boss then dismissed him and gave him his last check.
